Now if the UN, the most powerful (lol) body in the world has said it, it’ll definitely (lololol) happen!

Just like the Big Cup guy before him.

What does slash dotted mean?

It’s a corp. It absolutely can and will and has many times in the past made claims and not followed on them.

One example - they said Google Photos will remain free forever for high quality photo uploads. But the moment they reached critical mass of photos needed to train their AI models, they switched to a paid model for higher quality photos. Leaked internal discussions said as such. They chose to make claims and then backtracked on them.

I second this. You bought it. Somewhere, somehow. Amazon doing a rug pull under you is their fault, not yours. Go pirate without any guilt.

They’ll modify it soon enough. Amazon will respond to only one thing - everyone stops buying ebooks from Amazon.

StoryGraph does this very well - all non-ISBN items are welcome. Web comics, random PDFs etc.

Would love to see that on BookWyrm, if it doesn’t already exist.

Yeah, I don’t watch reaction videos. They’re the shittiest form of content.

Yeah, but there’s nothing social any more about that media.

A little confused here. Some of the examples you mentioned are already features of obsidian (if not others).

Search all notes that have a certain text as heading? Obsidian’s general search has that. Count number of words in a note or a text selection? That’s generally available in the app.

Do you mean - I would like to reference a note in another note and in the übernote, it should tell me how many words there are in the former note? Maybe a plugin exists for that.

Or the table example - do you want to extract the text and automatically show it in another note?

Isn’t that what note embedding does?

![[OtherNote#^mytable]]

Or, if you want to actually use the data and not just show it, then I believe you need to use DataViews.

Please let us know other examples of use cases that might not be present in Obsidian. You’ve raised an interesting topic!

Also, the people who said that you should put everything in the metadata are idiots or trolls. While you can build metadata over time, it should not be your main focus. The focus should always be your notes.

Scrapes from Netflix?

Why were you watching it? It’s a shit… show!

No but seriously… sail, people!

This, mostly. I looked into it. But it was too focused on blockchain and not enough on the social apps. It was a dead zone when I checked it out.

I seem to recall reading once that the launch cost was down to $10,000 for a cubesat now.

Didn’t read the article, as you said it’s just an ad for VPNs. But one way this affects VPN users is that now you can’t VPN into Italy to use a service without hitting the age verification prompt. That just sucks!

Sadly, true.

Hear me out. After they get fired, other essential workers should also go on strike. Every. One.

I wish the air traffic controllers would go on strike. Two days of that and suddenly congress would open right back up.

Yeah, they really need to start building RAG supported models. That way they can actually show where they’re getting their data, and even pay the sources fairly. Imagine a RAG or MCP server connecting to Wikipedia, one to encyclopedia.com, and one to stack overflow.

It’s not easy. LLMs take so much training data that at this point, their training data is basically, all books publically available, all blogs on the internet, pretty much all of tumblr, Reddit, stack overflow and every forum you can think of. Even then, some LLMs need even more data. So companies have started outright stealing data - pirating stuff, downloading stuff from Anna’s Archive, etc.

So no, no billion dollar company can make their own training data. Even if you plug in every email ever sent on Gmail, Google still won’t have enough data to train a good LLM. So they go with the cheaper option- training data that has already been collected, sorted, cleaned, and labeled.

In one sense, they’re again stealing others’ hard work - rather than cleaning their own data, they use public data sets. In another sense, even that’s not enough.
