A NEW star - they knew the night sky so well they saw new one appear and then traveled multiple months to follow its lead

Why do we need need new tools for collective intelligence?

The sensemaking system that produced this is still dominant.
Turns out, was not โ€œjust the fluโ€

And Corona wasnโ€™t and isnโ€™t the only thing the news is wrong about

Al-Khwarizmi is often referred to as the father ofย algebra โ€“ a word we owe to him, from the Arabic al-jabr, โ€œthe restoring of broken partsโ€

So - pretty sure I just figured out a way you could get End to End Encryption for some or all of your @RoamResearch notes - as an open source #roamjs plugin - right now.

I'll sketch the idea out in this thread, and in 2 weeks, will award 10k to those who push the idea furthest
I'll also share another big decision we've made -- this week (if God wills it, inshallah, ๐Ÿคž) we'll be shipping the first version of #roamdepot - an easy way to discover and install themes, javascript plugins, and community developed features that have been vetted by Roam team.
The obvious move would be to have #roamdepot be a marketplace - but we want to make sure the folks building free plugins are rewarded too - so to start we'll be distributing a portion of our revenue back to plugin authors based on installs and reviews.

Idea Friction

The time between having an idea and converting it to a shareable form.

[[Key Term]] from @jordanmoore

jordanm.co.uk/2019/04/13/ideโ€ฆ
I know this is tongue in check - but does annoy me a little when I see folks act as though writing things down is a barrier to action

Big plans, big questions require collaboration (at the very least with your past & future self)

and THAT requires getting ideas out of your head
When you are faced with a question you had no previous opinion on, and two authors who disagree on the answer - who will you believe?

The one who can โ€œmuster on the spot the larger number of well aligned and faithful alliesโ€

ht @worrydream for the paper

Anyone in #roamcult played with @huggingface yet.

Kinda biased but I think @wolfejosh tends to have good taste in startups
Also they look esoteric AF
The big question I have here is - If we want to allow a user to

A) Identify related blocks in their Roam graph (maybe using something like W2V)

B) Summarize a page or chapter they have imported

C) Get 4 additional suggested movies, based on a list of movies they entered

Etc.

Throwback to [[June 24th 2016]] - playing with @TheTedNelson's zzStruct demo

Would be incredible to navigate twitter threads like this
A few days later - trying to design a visual interface for a youtube filter that could express -- Videos about chemistry, favorited by accounts I follow, created by a user who is followed by 3 friends....

and you think my design was bad in 2018 :)
Two years later, starting to look almost like @RoamResearch
