Thanks for the advice!

I think another reason for messy fingers is the way I hold the pen. It's easy to come into contact with the nib or the exposed part of the feed when you're not careful.

I might just be a bit clumsy. :)

Not at all. But it seems that the inside of the caps gets messy anyway. Probably from the nib making contact when capping.

When it comes to fountain pens and inks, I went down a rabbit hole more than once in the past.

Noodlers makes some unique pens and inks. I have a Noodlers Ahab, for example, that has a very flexible nib. Different than any of the more conventional pens I used before.

But one thing that bothers me about fountain pens is that they are messy. Some of it can be avoided. You don't need a piston filler to dip into your special ink bottle to refill your pen if you don't mind using regular cartridges. But one thing that seems unavoidable is that the "section" (the part where you hold the pen) gets messy when you put the cap on it. I wonder why every fountain pen seems to have this design. One would think that a smaller cap that only covers the nib would suffice.

I wonder if there are fountain pens like this. I feel another rabbit hole calling.

Really liked this article.

I wonder: the graphs treat learning with and without AI as two different paths. But obviously people can switch between learning methods or abandon one of them.

Then again, I wonder how many people go from learning about a topic using LLMs to then leaving them behind to continue the old school way. I think the early spoils of LLM usage could poison your motivation to engage with the topic on your own later on.

Interesting; can you elaborate? Also could you clarify what you mean by changes that are "not always visual"? How would non-visual information exist in a purely visual medium?
