Both art and article are good. I can definitely relate. I feel like most of my writing actually happens well before I sit down to write anything. It’s thoughts and notes, then something comes out. The weirdly frustrating thing is when it doesn’t align with my notes at all, but somehow it’s better. Or at least I think it’s better. Then it’s a matter of not editing too much. Or at all sometimes. I’ve definitely written and posted things that when from brain to web.
yes!
typing is not writing
for me at least 90% of the "writing" happens away from a keyboard
mainly in my head (on walks, in the shower, when I least expect it)
then on paper & pencil, writing words, phrases, drawing lines, rinse, repeat
my goal is to finish the conceptual thinking to a degree that when I sit down in front of a keyboard, it's mainly "downloading" from my brain
If I try to do the conceptual work at a keyboard it's torture

get up earlier
seriously though after I started getting up every single day without fail at 6:00 am, no matter what happened the day before, no matter what’s on my schedule today, ever since I have had no trouble whatsoever ever falling asleep. Usually by 9:30 pm I am feeling v sleepy and by 10 pm I cannot help but lie down and close my eyes.
The only thing that modulates this is caffeine. No caffeine after 2:00 pm otherwise I may be up until 11:00 pm even midnight.
but even then, wake at 6:00 am the next day without fail, that was the magic bullet for me
all this stuff about bedtime routines, warm bath, soft lighting, etc, seems funny to me - like I said by 9:30 pm and certainly by 10:00 pm I cannot help but lie down and close my eyes, I don’t need any enticements.
can we get it on ollama?
if not how come openai is called open

After thinking about this blogpost for a minute I realized the blogpost actually literally argues for doing things the hard and stupid way. Not as a metaphor for integrity or quality.
Integrity isn't the point:
> It had nothing to do with integrity. I didn’t care about fooling the diners. What concerned me was the precedent we were setting.
The quality of the food isn't the point either:
> The dish was meant to be a difficult pickup that required constant coordination between the front and back of house.
The inefficiency is the point.
Doing it the long, hard and stupid way is the point.
This is a sermon against process improvements. Without seeming to realize that restaurants are a modern miracle of process improvements! How does this David think the kitchen gets fresh ingredients every morning? Where does David think fruit in the winter comes from? How did herbs and spices get so cheap? Because we decided for the past 200 years to relentlessly pursue efficiency. Because we decided not to do things the slow and stupid way any more. That's how!
It’s very simple actually. “The dish” is defined as a chicken you see before it is then taken away and carved. You see your chicken. That’s the promise. If they parade around with a display chicken then it is simply dishonest. Does it matter? That is a different question entirely. The point is there is a promise involved in “the dish”. If they want to use a parade chicken then they need a different promise.
Just a note: Make sure whatever you use to backup iCloud can handle files that are not currently synced to your device.
Arq (https://www.arqbackup.com) has a setting to "materialize" these files before backup for example.
interesting (the ‘materialize’ option in Arq). I wonder what it does to the files it ‘materializes’ after the backup … does it leave them on the local disk or does Arq instruct the service (dropbox or icloud) to make it cloud only again? I guess I’m wondering about the case where the total cloud footprint is larger than the local disk footprint.
