Good topic but I felt the types of disruption listed by the author were rather near term and short sighted.

Love the episode and the guests, but let me point out just how good the hosted pages look at Transistor, the podcast hosting used here. I'm not affiliated, though I run my own shows there, too. The UI just vanishes into the background and puts the conversation right into the center. That's good SaaS :D
Yeah I like transistor for my reinforcement learning show https://www.talkrl.com/ , their design has really improved

Because postgres and postgis are awesome!
I migrated to them in 2005 (from mysql) and was amazed by how much happier I was. And it never cost me a dollar.
I loved it so much I visited its authors in Victoria and bought consulting from them. They are amazing folks.

If these are too fluffy, here's an older (1305) mental model, https://socks-studio.com/2021/11/03/constructing-knowledge-t...
> Catalan polymath, Ramon Llull was the first person to conceive a device able to externalise the human mind. In his seminal opus, the Ars Magna, Llull conceived a series of figures that could replicate the mental ability to connect information in order to acquire knowledge. Thanks to these studies, he is considered a precursor of artificial intelligence research.
> The Llullian figures, a series of instruments that organise and place concepts into relationships, exploit the ability of geometry to produce interconnections on two-dimensional, paper surfaces. They employ lines, concentric shapes, ladders and frames bearing a visual quality similar to that of architectural plans ... it revealed an intrinsic potential to work as a “logic machine”, an instrument producing knowledge in different fields through multiple combinations of ideas. Llull constructed the very first demonstration that showed that human way of thinking could be imitated by a device.
In those images I see:
- complete graphs (the triangle matrices)
- incomplete graphs (the circular ones with only some segments conntected)
And those are excellent ways to visualize these types of objects.
He built knowledge graphs.

Its... cool?
Alternative would be: clone the repo, do your changes, run gitk to be sure.
Which has advantage that result looks exactly the same as it will in production (no new diagram type b/c only using git and gitk), with zero risk that sim differs from reality.

Wrong. No way they could scale using humans. Humans were used only for training data.
ChatGPT itself says all kinds of things; journalists using it as a source are either badly uninformed or purposely misleading readers.
How much of this would be fixed if you lived in the woods and did the same job remotely (which is my situation with similar work).

You might try lions mane, a mushroom that noticeably boosts my mental clarity.
Also, being older we have a lot more on our mind. So methods to help organize and focus are more useful than ever to me now. Take notes, keep logs, etc.
Keeping key bits of the idea to myself. If this admittedly vague idea excites you let's find some time to talk.
