Oh, it was an Italian restaurant but not in Italy. It was in North America. The menu was in English.

I was sitting in a restaurant the other day and staring at the menu. It was Italian and none of the things made sense. Too wordy and not clear what was meat and what was fancy cheese. The waiter was utterly useless - too busy to help and when present, not answering my questions about what would be a good simple pasta in white sauce.

I took a photo and asked Claude what’s a good white sauce pasta which would be like Alfredo.

It found two options I hadn’t even looked at. AI is good at sorting through complexity. But I don’t just mean AI as in LLMs. It needs a lot more tools and knowledge to be useful. So what you need is a smart system which may or may not have AI as a component.

Yeah, now my passwords are just random nonsense.

Your system probably goes to sleep. Not just screen but also hard disk sleep. Install Amphetamine on it and its companion app. They will work as supercharged Caffienate and keep the system awake even at lid close.

Put VMware fusion or VirtualBox on it, install Linux, give it all the resources that the system can spare…

Then run OpenClaw on it. 😆😆

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!
