Yasukazu Nishio's Scrapbox -> Yasukazu Nishio's External Brain

2024-09-03~04

This X was initially launched on a service named [Scrapbox

Unexpectedly, however, Scrapbox changed its name to Cosense.

Domain name remains Scrapbox as of 2024-09-04

It's been suggested that this could change someday, but we don't know when that will be.

I have delicate feelings about continuing to call X "Yasukazu Nishio's Scrapbox" in this situation.

Because essentially X has not changed.

nonetheless

Because it is not desirable for external factors to change the name of the company as

But this is not the essence, we think.

(The first one I wrote)

It's just a view.

It's not the essence.

Models and Views

(Self-Refutation: A brain is not just a collection of data)

There is an essential X behind the scenes, and Scrapbox/Cosense is just the view

Scrapbox was a very well developed service and contributed very much to the development of Nishio's external brain.

This closed model is not directly accessible to the average consumer.

Therefore, "exportable JSON data" can only be regarded as an incomplete projection of the model onto the real world.

The real brain cannot directly externalize its contents either, so it can only be an incomplete projection.

Texts written in the diary of the same day before writing this page:.

Think of Cosense as an IDE for creating JSON in a certain format.

This IDE is difficult to operate from the AI.

Future Policies

Archive the current "external brain of Nishio as data" on GitHub.

Do you want to do CC0 as well?

Switch mental models to think of the main body as on GitHub, not Helpfeel's database

The brain is not just a collection of data.

Ensure that programs designed and implemented by Nishio himself use that data for intellectual production

This "combination of program and data" creates the true "external brain of Yasukazu Nishio.

Specifically.

I didn't continue to use it myself because it's not particularly better than the Scrapbox view.

You wanted to control the details of the view, I know you did.

As for programs that do intellectual production based on data, I've been doing machine translation into English and hosting it.

Oh, something's stopped.

I recently had a credit card renewal, but this was using the DeepL API, and I don't remember changing the settings, so maybe that's why.

Simply visualizing them as clusters would be interesting.

Maybe we need to be able to drill down hierarchically.

Fractal Summary] is also relevant as a hierarchical summary.

It is interesting to extract purposeful data through LLM

Smart Filters

Language conversion is also possible

Intellectual production activities that transcend language barriers are coming to fruition.

End of [Scrapbox period

That's almost all of it...

When you are done, add "~2024-09-08" to the old one.
