Introduction Geez, what a journey! OK so we are going to start this blog thing, you know. And apparently, the engineering impulse to premature optimisation was strong. So I ended up setting up Denote, a very interesting Emacs package I am currently exploring for note taking, to also manage my posts here. The reason is simple: Denote handles collections of files you hold in specific directories, tracks them with non mutable identifiers (defaulting to the ISO timestamp), and handles you a collection of functions to manage them on the fly.
I want to make a clarification about the posts you will find on this blog. When AI like ChatGPT were first developed, I was highly sceptical. The shiny gloss of “hey, they can talk just like us” could hold up to a few basic questions; after that, they showed their machine made thoughts, who unsurprisingly turned out to be fairly shallow. Google can provide an ordered list of answers based on the few keywords you provide it; AI models provide a conversational answer, putting together the information from a few sentences you provide it.
