Let’s use Claude to look at how good an approximation a Taylor series expansion is for sin(x).

This is a snippet for me to experiment with embedding a Claude artifact into a snippet.

A persistent theme of my snippets is writing about writing.

I remember I used to write short snippets just to get something out there.

For months I’ve been waking up to the sound of my printer.

My new bedtime is 10:15pm.

I learn a lot from talking to large language models (LLMs) like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude.

Over the years I’ve accumulated dozens of strategies for managing my attention, including amazing Chrome extensions from Namu like Intention and Hide feed.

I stumbled on this YouTube video today called “Use Strategic Thinking to Create the Life You Want” and surprised myself by enjoying the video.

Today’s topic is the SWYT in pyd-swyt; cf-bh-din: say what you think.

Here are my food preferences, all typed up nice and neat in a way that Bard or ChatGPT can easily digest.

This is an interactive little page.

In 2017 I picked up violin again, after a 15 year hiatus.

Greetings!

Trying to reason about the future With all the advances in artificial intelligence, I am trying to wrap my head around where technology is going.

I write a lot.

Today I used GPT-4 to implement my first ever Tampermonkey script.

Whoa!

What are some things you can do on the computer to help yourself get off the computer?

Writing can be challenging.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

Go Note Go is a computer keyboard with no screen that I use to capture ideas anywhere, even as I drift off to sleep.

The last few nights I have been sleeping with GPT, and oh, it has been a joy.

This story is meant to be listened to.

Background: Ontologies in Note-taking I’ll do my best to get the context for this thought down quickly, but I don’t think I’ll do a good job.

We all live in castles in the clouds.

Good conversation is an essential part of human interaction.

Boo!

Focus on the task of focusing on the task.

In this snippet we’re going to introduce the Medical Test Paradox Paradox.

Sometimes – usually because of Alex K Chen – I am added to a giant group chat (GGC).

Yesterday I added “Discussion” sections to all the snippets and posts on my website.

I don’t have a comments section on my website, but I do like when people reach out to me by email.

I enjoy hosting co-working sessions.

Lately I’ve sometimes had trouble focusing.

After thinking through the tension between Go Note Go and snippets yesterday, I now wonder if there’s a good way to write a snippet draft on Go Note Go.

I love using Go Note Go.

Lately I’ve been writing a lot, but not putting up any new snippets.

LaLTal – short for “learn a little, teach a little” is a novel learning app from John Cumbers built on the extraordinary power of learning by teaching.

I have two new ideas for snippets I want to write.

The last two years I’ve mostly been writing snippets, but today I wrote a new post.
