    I think the word anarchy is bad branding. (Though good branding is impossible when the king want his citizens to hate you.)

    From what I understand, the main goal of anarchy is to remove the system that separates us from power. For example, representative democracy makes it so you just go “pretty please represent me” without having any direct agency over the world around you.

    Anarchy is not “remove all the rules”.

    Edit: if there is a system that facilitates personal rights and agency then it is not necessarily against anarchy.



  • In college I was told over and over that SECURITY BY OBSCURITY IS NOT ACTUALLY SECURITY. So using thoroughly tested and examined security techniques from open source software is the gold standard.

    There are known secure algorithms that cannot be cracked by modern computers. So, no reason to try and reinvent the wheel and just hope your way is better despite decades of refinement and research into modern open algorithms.



  • LLM’s like the AI’s you mentioned generally are just really good at predicting the next word. For example, Given an input like “My dog likes” an AI may add the word “treats” to the end. They are so good at predicting the next word that they will write paragraphs that sound entirely human.

    So, when they give you strange links, and made up names it’s probably because it just thought that stuff sounded good.

    You can only trust results if you verify them yourself.

    I am not sure if the paid versions are better.




  • You have a good point I was a bit too black and white with my comment. There definitely seems to be a correlation between size and violence of terrorist groups, and the human rights of the area they riside in.

    Also totally agree that it can happen to me. Gotta acknowledge that you don’t really know anything and you are pretty much always just taking someone’s word for things. I believe the Earth is round, but I’m just taking people’s word for it.







  • Just switched to obsidian from amplenote.

    Obsidian is a beast that can manage all of your knowlege in extremely personal customizable ways.

    Amplenote is a nice todo list & note taking app. It is better than most note taking apps at helping you execute on tasks.

    I switched because, with plugins, Obsidian can be ALMOST everything Amplenote is, except so so so so much more. The big this Amplenote is missing is all of the automation that makes everything run so smoothly.

    In obsidian I have a button to “Create work note”. That button creates a note with the right template, in the right folder, composed of a top half note and a bottom half that can be changed out. That note automatically shows up in lists I’ve made that track the work I do. All from one button.

    You don’t have to do anything fancy with Obsidian, but you can, and it is awesome.
