Work and thought notes for 2019-10-28
-
Scrapbox’s philosophy that machine generation of content is a garbage dump. - making a house into a garbage dump
-
In fact, I’ve poured over Twitter logs and other information in the past and feel that it wasn’t good enough.
-
On the other hand, I’m looking at /masui’s Putting Book Scans PDFs in Scrapbox 2019 approach and think
- Sufficient in fulfilling the “read from front to back” function of paper books.
- Is this the first step in getting better Forms of Knowledge Representation than paper books?
-
in other words
- Machine generation and automatic import are not evil.
- After machine generation and automatic import, additional man-hours are needed to make it an organic network
- The knowledge of what to do with these additional man-hours and how much activity to do is still unclear.
- So if a “person unfamiliar with Scrapbox” mechanically creates a page, the subsequent learning curve is too steep and frustrating.
-
Need to verbalize what it takes to make knowledge into an organic network
- Now that we’ve exceeded 5,000 human-powered pages, we should try “machine-generated content” again.
-
On the other hand, I’m worried that we’re destroying the fun by pouring machine-generated content into this project.
-
Merging is required
- What happens when additional JSON is imported into an existing project with duplicate titles?
- They think it will be overridden.
- →In that case, you will not be able to import for fear of destroying existing project content
- Merged?
- This makes me feel safe.
- If the current Scrapbox specification is to overwrite rather than merge, then you need to merge on hand and then import the overwrite.
- Confirmed: overwritten
-
Ready to import 2 pages. 2 pages will be overwritten: test, How to use Scrapbox
