I found some links that explain how one can grok "Docker" by going through the learning exercise of re-inventing it from basic os features with homemade scripts. Here's an example of that type of notes I often take. I guess the completeness of your proposed "auto-memorize-everything" solution depends on what style of notes a person writes.Ī lot of my notes are annotations or personal commentary that don't exist in the sources of the url text or video. >I wish there were a tool that could just record everything if you "know" everything, then notes serve no purpose. If I had that, though, I'd keep it completely secret (and use parallel reconstruction if I need to divulge "memories" gleaned from it to others). I'd love to have audio and low frame-rate video recording on my person during all my waking hours. Ah, and now I remember what Bob and I talked about that afternoon!") ("I was at xxx site that day, I had lunch at yyy restaurant, and when I got back I looked at these websites. I discovered that I can often get "organic" recollection when I prime my brain with a few context details gleaned from the digital corpus. I can "remember" where I was and what I was doing on a given day pretty easily. I love being able to search over even this limited corpus of data. I wish I could get at my phone's (iPhone) browser history, call database, and location services database easily to amalgamate into my "digital life panopticon" too. Most of my personal "note taking" is either time tracking entries for Customer billing or emails sent to myself with keywords in the subject line and the notes in the body. EXIF from photos is helpful but I haven't automated dumping those into my email. My credit card transactions dump to email as well. what network my phone is connected to when it checks-in for email). I store client IP addresses and timestamps from my IMAP server as another data-point on my physical location in the world (i.e.

I've used the "History Trends" browser extension and religiously archive my browser history. I've dumped my SMS logs into my IMAP mailbox since 2010. Quantified Self is an interesting project to me since it seems to make use of data from all of these disparate sources, but I'm still not sure what the outcome of tracking all of this data is. Occasionally I've gone back through my old search history for that one old post that I wanted to re-read, or go through my Spotify listening history to find a song I really enjoyed but forgot the name of, but 99% of that data goes to waste. It's really cool to think that all of this data exists, but I'm not really sure that it's useful. There's an incredible amount of health data from my iPhone + Apple Watch.
Strava tracks exercise, and YNAB tracks budgeting/spending. With Spotify + Last.fm I can see stats about my listening history, and with I can see my TV/movie watching habits. I can look through my browser history for any particular day. I can lookup any email I've ever sent/received. The idea that Google had all of my location history for the past 8 years means I can see everywhere I've ever gone. This is something I think about often when it comes to tools. The throttling on note growth means an easier time for information retrieval and much fewer irrelevant results to ignore.
Because I have read them carefully before, I expand my mental canvas but am not slowed down too much by processing demands. My clippings are actively curated, carefully sized to fit in working memory while also independently comprehensible and guaranteed to have met my minimal standards on factuality. The more you let into your corpus, the harder the problem of retrieval relevance. Sturgeon's Law: The vast majority of what we encounter is junk, much of it even self-contradictory. Unless recordings feed into one's process, they're a waste of space. Notes help with processing and thinking things through, aiding conscious and active understanding. To know something you have to have processed and at the very least achieved some compression of it. Sherlock has a good discussion on this (Sherlock solar system). Recording is not knowing, at best it is memorization of largely useless trivia. I run into this sentiment often and I believe it's fundamentally mistaken as to the purpose of notes.
