One thing Haiku has is that it looks utterly coherent. Yeah, it looks 90s, but at least it looks like that everywhere you poke it. Every other OS out there became, in that regard, a mess.

Thank you for the Be-related posts. Maybe, one day, you could write a more detailed report of it in a format made for longer articles. I would read it.

The social side is, among others, massively covered by Niklas Luhmann, the Zettelkasten guy. [1] is pure 2nd Order Cybernetics. The entry to it is a bit tough, it uses its own language. The precision presented, however, is brutal and you ca

Let me summarize your chain of arguments up to this point: “I don't think you really get either Design Thinking or Systems Thinking” 1. In the strict sense of science, Design Thinking is not a methodology, whether you like it or not. L

There are so many subsets of the theory and I have no idea what would interest you and what you already know. Have you seen this paper? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220231906_The_Origi... It leans a bit mor

> So what do you mean by "Design Thinking does with its sole existence what Systems Thinking tried to avoid"? It’s its approach to Systems. Take the 5 stages. Why 5, not 10 or 3? Why stages at all? Who’s to say? Why not enable

Around ten years ago, I was a designer for some 20 years. A strange path led me to a different place which is intermixed or adjacent to the field of organisational theory. At that time, I decomposed problems too, maybe a bit differently th

>I practiced Design Thinking at IDEO for 10 years That may possibly explain your motivation but even ten years do not make it right, nor the speed of teaching. You are saying it yourself: internalising the very abstract system for decom

That is exactly the point. Taking a theory (Systems Thinking), a mental model which has the primary goal of holistically identifying, describing, and understanding wholes and reducing it down to a set of methods/framework out of ease o

Please don’t use Design Thinking. Design Thinking is a subset of Systems Thinking (this is the polite interpretation). Design Thinking does with its sole existence what Systems Thinking tried to avoid: Another category to put stuff into, d

You are falling for the zero-sum fallacy and mixing categories on top of it. Globally, wealth gets created, which leads to a positive-sum game, not a zero sum game. On the other hand, if one quadrillionaire in a city owns all the money ava

Question: what kind of fun you are referring to here? Since, from the outside, it surely sounds like you get pleasure by inflicting some form of suffering on others. But that hopefully isn’t considered fun, is it?

Can you give an example? I am looking for a way out. I kind of self hosted for decades on a virtual server until I couldn’t keep up with it. So much stuff broke something in the stack, bringing the server down. Often, I had to initiate a fu

I cannot recommend NTLite enough. If it has to be Windows, just remove all the shit of Win11 yourself, set it to unattended installation with a local account, remove the hardware requirements barrier while you are at it, remove the games, c

I self hosted for 20 years, worked flawlessly, gave up because of security concerns. I would like to go back to it. Question: How do you manage the security on such a box? Is there any simplification I missed? I couldn’t keep up with it. So

Yes. Danny Hillis’ Thinking Machines Corporation, an AI company which created its own massive parallel processing supercomputer hardware. “We are building a machine that will be proud of us” was their corporate motto. And that was in 1983.

I am still irritated by the name of the company. What is the reasoning behind these schemes? The hope that bits of the properties of legendary companies will rub off onto the new venture? As if naming the next best venture PARC will inevita

Yeah that’s a nice addition. However, remember that reassembling is synthesis, not emergence. Emergence is what you /may/ get by reassembling, but must not. We are talking about systems, thus, in the end, you are correct. It’s jus

That is an issue prevalent in the western world for the last 200 years, beginning possibly with the Industrial Revolution, probably earlier. That problem is reductionism, consequently applied down to the last level: discover the smallest el

If I am not mistaken, we are already past that. The pixel, or token, gets probability-predicted in real time. The complete, shaded pixel, as you will, gets computed ‘at once’ instead of layers of simulation. That’s the LLM’s core mechanism.

Okay, here we go: No, I am not saying anything you said. This was not about a gentleman's agreement at all - that was a rhetorical figure to demonstrate that it is not the game which is at fault, it’s both. The behaviour of the game an

That is a completely false premise. The game would not exist if there were a consensus among players to not play. Technically, this is not linear as you argue, instead, this is a feedback loop. The game influences the actors, the actors inf

Never heard of that one. Could you provide sources for the argument?

That possibly cannot be the common notion to frame this. I agree with some parts it but also see two significant issues: 1. It is even statistically implausible that everyone working at the EU is tech-illiterate and stupid and everybody at
