when you read an old note you have to load its context back into your head about when you took it and why before you understand what it’s saying, and whether or not it’s relevant to the task at hand.

To get a handle on probability’s slipperiness, consider how the concept is used in modern weather forecasts. Meteorologists make predictions of temperature, wind speed and quantity of rain, and often also the probability of rain — say 70% for a given time and place. The first three can be compared with their ‘true’ values; you can go out and... See more
Does probability exist?

Before you can use AI to maximize the meaning in your work and life, you’ll need to be able to articulate what you draw meaning from.
In terms of the other constants known at the time, α = e²/(4πε_0)ħc, where:
e is the electron’s charge,
ε_0 is the electromagnetic constant for the permittivity of free space,
ħ is Planck’s constant,
and c is the speed of light.
Unlike these other constants, which have units associated with them, α is a truly dimensionless constant

Agentic workflows are loops—they can run many times in a row without needing a human involved for each step in the task. A language model will make a plan based on your prompt, utilize tools like a web browser to execute on that plan, ask itself if that answer is right, and close the loop by getting back to you with that answer.
