@nrupatunga1987 @thorstenball @badlogicgames Harness matters in the sense that you may want to avoid ones that over complicate and distract

@thorstenball @badlogicgames Does that mean harness do not matter any more ? 🤔

Lately, whenever I open this app and see the latest tricks, and hacks, and notes, and workflows, and spec here and skill there, I can't help but think: All of this will be washed away by the models. Every Markdown file that's precious to you right now will be gone.

I have been working on Obsidian Reader for a over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there. Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography. Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

“Give me top 5 financial news in last 24h. Be concise.” I write it on an index card Put it in the screenless phone It gives me what I request No need for exposure to the poisonous “algorithm” Personal agents are the future

@alfkkifine While I largely agree with this, I think men are called to a higher standard of compassion before problem solving

The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings. ​The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy. ​Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain. We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.

@kepano he tapped the sign

don't make me tap the sign

@MattWalshBlog 💯 Have enjoyed your recent posts

This is, of course, retarded. The great men of history were deeply introspective. They wrote memoirs, journals, diaries, poetry. They were philosophers, theologians. They yearned. They were romantics. They were in fact much more introspective than the average person today. However it is true that none of the great men of history, or any men at all (or even women), were sitting around whining to therapists about their feelings. I think the difference (and maybe this is what he's trying to get at) is that historical man wanted to KNOW himself while modern man cares only about how he FEELS about himself. The former wanted to know himself and the world beyond regardless of how it made him feel. The latter wants to feel good about himself even at the expense of knowing himself and the world beyond. That's why he drugs himself into oblivion. But this is not introspection. It's anti-introspection.

@Shpigford was trying to find a way to create my own noise yesterday. this is perfect, thank you sir!

dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it

@bryan_johnson @cremieuxrecueil As was I. Ended up getting a German shepherd instead. Very happy with that decision

@cremieuxrecueil been also looking at a malinois

I'm thinking about getting two dogs. What breeds should I consider?

@ChrisWillx work itself isn't the goal to strive after. we are meant for more

What if everyone is actually destined for hell? When Christian Apologist Wesley Huff joined me on The Diary Of A CEO, he explained a central idea in Christianity that many people misunderstand. According to scripture, the standard for being “good” isn’t simply being better than other people. The standard is God himself. Which means, by definition, no human being meets it. That’s what Christianity calls the bad news. Humanity can’t save itself through good actions or intentions. Here's him breaking it down

@kepano Nice will be looking more into this!

@dpshade Obsidian Reader has been open source from the start, it's MIT licensed github.com/obsidianmd/obs…

Defuddle now returns Youtube transcripts! Paste a YouTube link into defuddle.md to get a markdown transcript with timestamps, chapters, and pretty good diarization! ...or if you just want to read it, try the new Reader mode in Obsidian Web Clipper powered by Defuddle.

@benjitaylor Isn't Agentation react only? or have I misunderstood something?

This is essentially how I view Agentation at this point: it's a lightweight design tool that meets you where you are, works with whatever agent you want to use, in whatever flow you prefer

Increasingly convinced that the tools that win will be the tools that meet you where you are, in whatever workflow you have

Don't let AI service providers dilute the meaning of "local". If it can't run offline on compute and data you actually own, it's not a Personal Computer.
