I don't know what this says about my thoughts but this graph represents over several years thoughts and journals. I thought it kind of fun to see and there even seems to be order in the chaos of a sort
graph taken from logseq note taking app, each node represents an article or thought, each linked as a network

We apologize for a period of extreme slowness today. The army of AI crawlers just leveled up and hit us very badly. The good news: We're keeping up with the additional load of new users moving to Codeberg. Welcome aboard, we're happy to have you here. After adjusting the AI crawler protections, performance significantly improved again.

really nice video and comparison. Its fascinating to see how, for some tasks, risc chips are gaining significant ground. I believe they have been integrated into mainstream hardware already as sort of co processors, but forgive me if I am wrong on that. Worth watching through to the end of the […]
