Agenda

Tasks

• Anki Review - Chinese
• Exercise
• Watch a new movie
• [I Saw the TV Glow]({{< relref "../../../main/movies.md#i-saw-the-tv-glow" >}})
• Write a new note
• Read
  • Did not get to read in any meaningful capacity (books, that is, finished some articles)

Summary

• Trying this out, I ended up making a new capture template for my org-roam dailies, as you can see here. The differences between capture-today and the template is a bit odd.

(setq org-roam-dailies-capture-templates
      '(("d" "daily" plain
         "* Agenda\n** Tasks\n- [ ] %?\n\n* Notes\n** Ideas\n- \n\n* Journal\n** Morning\n- \n\n** Evening\n- \n"
         :target (file+head "%<%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d>.org"
                            "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n#+hugo_tags: noexport\n\n")
         :unnarrowed t
         :empty-lines 1
                )))

• I have some lunch meetings so I'm not sure how much I'll get done today. I'd like to work on this site some more.

Notes

Reading

• I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity
  • I think this is directionally correct. I love LLMs and use them quite a bit (my god, it's so cheap, It cost me ~3 dollars to do something that'd take hours before) but for the forseeable future I don't think I'd trust most corporate initiatives to pull it off under budget or in a way that doesn't give bad optics.
    • A (personal) example is I used an LLM to generate mnemonics for my Chinese decks (I'd say about 5% of them had to be redone, but I'm low agency enough to admit if I didn't use a script to create them I wouldn't have ~1000+ hanzi memorized by now)
    • I've seen enough corporate initiatives go insane that should've been simple (example in the article, a simple CRUD app, etc. etc.) that I wouldn't trust 90% of the Fortune 500 to rollout something without SERIOUS cost overruns.

Ideas

• I found out the base quartz install doesn't really accomodate a lot of the org-mode features I'd like, maybe a chance to make a component.
  • It's mostly design stuff, though
    • org-mode task css + some properties
    • also for some reason <li>'s strikethrough persist in lower bullets in tasks, I looked at the CSS but couldn't figure it out.
• My Org Roam Notes Workflow - Hugo Cisneros
  • Older blog article but they use a different process for building their global org-roam graph. Might be worth looking at if I wander into speed issues as mentioned in Aster Hu's post
