There's a useful plugin called "Daily Notes" which automatically creates a note each day with your desired template, along with the calendar plugin I have a daily chronology of everything I've done which I deem noteworthy.

If anyones interested in Obsidian and daily journalling keep the initial ceremony low. Some people have sections for challenges, achievements, mood, emails, to-dos, etc. That'll be far too much cognitive load for anyone - keep it simple and very quickly you'll know whether you want to add or remove any of the daily ceremony.

I have a "Key tasks" where I include a mostly succinct breakdown of anything worth noting. I did this on Google Docs for 3 years before very recently moving to Obsidian and I wouldn't turn back. Tags and back links definitely help me jump between related thoughts and actions much more than grepping in a 50k+ words Google doc :)

Mounjaro is amazing. The GLP-1 agonists will change weight loss completely.
How I learnt/taught myself when I first studied this subject, was characteristic or character. People change when they come into money, or rather their character changes (in my head I called them characterless). People with character don't change. Characteristic vector/Eigen vector is something which doesn't change.

Small, composable "Unix philosophy" programs need a substrate in order to work well, and that substrate can be heavyweight. The Unix kernel itself with its process and I/O model is one example (though Plan 9 may be considered an experiment in just how minimal that substrate can be while supporting the essential features of the model). The shell allows linking these programs together in a way that's relatively user-friendly, making the toolkit of composable programs accessible.

Relatedly, the X server is a substrate that allows small modular programs to coordinate in different ways, composing to form a graphical desktop environment.

I think Emacs on Unix is another such substrate. In a way, it's a sort of super-shell that can not only allow the user to compose Unix programs as with the shell, but to capture their input and output in buffers for further editing and processing. The ability to capture text, whether from files, programs, or network connections, edit it in a buffer, and script any operation with Lisp makes Emacs a tremendously powerful tool in its own right and an easily configurable coordinator for your other tools, with enough power to let you put a custom UI over them for smooth, flow-conducive access at your fingertips.

I use low TTLs because I don’t like waiting too long when I broke something or did a DNS configuration mistake.
I've seen a lot of recent posts about Obsidian in the past week.
If it's a marketing tactic then it might be working on me. I hope it's a decent product and not just some PR stunt.
I do wonder how many bits in RAM really are "harmlessly flippable". If I took a snapshot of a running machine, how safe is that flip from landing somewhere bad? Perhaps a lot of stuff ends up being write only so fine?

So then it seems like the clear difference there is whether the user is getting meaningfully useful functionality by having their information given to the vendor. Although I'm not particularly impressed with the privacy implications of type ahead, it is at least an obviously useful feature in exchange for the user's information. What do we think Apple is giving the user in exchange for this information?
I'm an ardent Emacs user for the past 20+ years. But I am considering writing a book, and the "throw things in anyhow, get things back" facility of Obsidian is quite useful for catching disparate thoughts to later incorporate into a flow in the final text.. Of course there is a mode in Emacs supporting obsidian-like facility, but does not feel as convenient - autocomplete never quite works as smooth as it does in Obsidian. For now, I am very impressed with the simplicity of Obsidian's usage.

Wow, thanks for the quick writeup. I think I'll give this a shot at work where we have audio/video equipment for presentations and the like.
I wonder how well that paper holds up over a decade later. It reviewed DDR1/2 in 2009. I like to ask people running ECC to check their error counters. (on Linux `edac-util -rfull`) From my very non-scientific survey, memory errors seem to happen significantly less often than this paper would lead you to believe. Then again, running ECC in the first place indicates better hardware than non-ECC, so that's a likely bias.

I think XAML is a dead horse, even if it once was a beautiful one, because XML is too bulky. The amount of effort you have to put into simple Controls is huge and even if it is a working spec, the productivity is just not appropriate, especially for styling.

The component/widget based approach in flutter feels like building Web components and in my opinion this is the right way for the future. Easy to learn and yet powerful.

If AvaloniaUI would provide a "functional" API with static usings that development would "feel" like Flutter or React and it would combine the best of both worlds. Old fashioned XAML pros would find a path to migrate and hype driven web / flutter pros would find it easy to switch... A bit of a CSS like parser and you would be done with a great product. A way to integrate JSX (or better C#X / blazorX) and I would be blown away.

Can anyone recommend any articles/blogs/etc on big data success stories outside of ad tech and retail web tech? And I mean big, business defining successes.

It's not to say they don't exist, obviously analytics is super important, but after being involved in it for 10+ years, it is rare that I have seen any game changing results come from big data analytics teams. Lots of small incremental improvements, sure, but I wonder about the ROI given the infra costs.

Hello! I am a former bioengineer who is looking for an opportunity to step into the Software engineering industry. After noticing a technical knowledge gap in the healthcare industry and an opportunity to revolutionize archaic practices, I decided to teach myself how to code. I am open to all opportunities, whether in the healthcare industry or elsewhere. I love working on interesting problems. Looking forward to hearing from you!
This video is hilarious!
In the USA FDA would need to approve such a change for a device that could possibly kill the patient. And would be unlikely to say yes.

I once designed a hardware state machine out of TTL (no CPU, except a network interface that could only passively read and transmit the state) to ensure that a pressure vessel was safe (and this was ahead of the mechanical safety devices). Regularly someone would ask why we had this large device and didn't just replace it with a tiny MPU.
It is not a "Hot Hand" problem because the context changes. Hot Hand is when you face the same problem (shooting a 3 in basket), not when one has to choose what to bet on, since the variability of the conditions surrounding the bet are likely to make every bet a unique situation.

Like saying that Einstein delivering results that change a whole field of physics every 5 years is a "Hot Hand" problem, is surely misguided.
I had a Salter Science set as a kid and did a lot of things very interesting for a 12 year old. The set didn't have any of the equipment for electrochemistry so I pulled out carbon rods from old batteries and got the rest of the stuff myself.

The manual was pretty good too. I bought reagents and glassware off Amazon to try to get my kids interested but they don't seem to be that keen on the idea.

(not indian but this is my impression from what I've read)

india has a very weird medical economy at times, geared to the costs necessary to deliver ultra-basic care to many people who are dirt-poor, utilizing generics (occasionally of questionable quality), the ultra-cheap cost of labor, etc.

for example centchroman is an interesting case-study... the government basically paid to develop and take it through trials and it was generic from day-1, and then the generics manufacturers go to work and you have birth control that can be delivered to market for under a dollar a month (4 pills) in retail quantities, and the government distributes them free because it's cheaper than pregnancy/social services.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ormeloxifene

Not that at the high level, the care isn't great, but, a lot of india is super poor and underdeveloped and delivering core medicines cheaply is relatively effective to provide a super basic level of care, they have a focus on delivering super cheap generics that cover the basic use-cases. I'm sure the glasses are cheap shitty molded plastic or something, or at most a super basic molded glass lens, perhaps with some subsidies. I'm mentally imagining the "BCG" glasses from basic training, designed to be indestructible and unscratchable (aka the birth control glasses).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GI_glasses

But that is the 80% solution, make em cheap and polish em up with super cheap labor and with basic materials you probably can get that down to 2 bucks or within subsidy distance of that.
Economic growth no longer means higher carbon emissions

Indeed. I buy 5 pairs of glasses at a time (cheapest ones I can manage which look OK). 5 at a time is still cheaper than 1/3rd the price of low cost normal glasses.

And each of those 5 pairs is half as durable.

It is a similarly wild situation where eye exams at Walmart can be cheaper than at a regular eye doctor covered by my insurance.

I absolutely love this, and my mind's already buzzing with a bunch of ways I can use it. I love the simplicity, the docs, the pleasant experience of understanding and getting it running. (In like 10 seconds!) No logins, no user permissions management, no API keys and complicated auth creds, just a topic/password. So cool. I think it's cool for every once and awhile to push back against the trends for complication/over-engineering even if just to remind us of how simple/straightforward software can really be.

You've made a beautiful piece of software for your own enjoyment and the benefit of others. It is just what it needs to be. Bravo. In a world where projects get massively complicated and pumped full of VC funding, may efforts like this live on.
A web search doesn't bring up any references to this feature, other than the bus layer error coding for signal integrity in transit that is standard in LPDDR5.

Non-LP (and thus Non-Apple) DDR5 does have ECC.

An additional twist here is that apparently the ECC was added to DDR5 because process shrinks and memory size increases have caused an increase in bit flips, so this is needed to keep reliability at the previous non-ECC level. There's an additional "actually robust" level of ECC, which is still sold separately. [1]

I guess we might ask why LPDDR5 is missing the DDR5 equivalent "keep running to stay in the same place" ECC, and what this means to reliability...

Since this post will attract Obisidan veterans, I asking for some validation of two potential need-gaps in Obisidian I'm tracking for a while -

1. Live recommendation for Obsidian[1]

Say I'm typing a note and write a sentence about echo location then I get recommended a previous note with a comment from a HN user about how moths escape bats by deafening it in a side panel.

It's not a keyword based recommendation, But a sentence classification (I understand the compute overhead drawback).

2. Automatic tag generator for Obsidian[2]

This is simpler, Generate tags for the notes automatically based on previous tags and if none is available then generate new tags.

Tangential, but what's the best way to get Elixir dev environment with database on Windows?

A friend and I have been trying it for a project and for a NixOS dweller like me it was less than 2 minutes of work. But for her it has been never ending troubles.

Otherwise, Elixir and Phoenix are fantastic! No explicit JavaScript is necessary and that alone sells it for me, but the concurrency story is so easy to grok that I'm amazed nobody else managed to recreate it in so many years..

My experience with Firebase.
I worked on AWS, Azure, GCloud and Firebase. I feel Firebase is the easiest way to deploy web application. It provides features like Web-hosting, User-Authentication, Cloud-Functions and Database, Storage. Firebase is popular in mobile app world also. User-Auth is the easiest on Firebase.

Imagine you are new to cloud world and you want to deploy production ready web app (not a toy project). With Firebase you can confidently and quickly make the app with little learning. This confident part is very important, with AWS you have to fight with AWS configuration for months, then also you may have doubts.

Firebase is acquired by Google-Cloud but still exists as a separate entity. For every Firebase project there is a behind the scene Google-Cloud project created.

My main complaint is their databases (they have two db's). RealtimeDB(which I believe will be deprecated) and FirestoreDB. FirestoreDB is proprietary and limited in features. For example there is no way to have a auto-increment(which is often used in many applications). The work-around suggested by Firestore auto-increment is very ugly.
Direct editing and modifying the data (not programmatically) in FirestoreDB is a pain. There is no official db-query feature, if you have more data (like more than 1000 elements) their webUI to navigate FirestoreDB data is of no use.

If I may offer some unsolicited advice: you'll generally find the most success as a freelancer, so study up on the aspects of freelancing (i.e. business). Uni generally won't offer much career prep other beyond a course on web site building (which you already got down). Marketing and networking are underrepresented the art school curriculum, but arguably the most important skills after graduation.

Also, the point of art openings is not the art on the walls, but to rub shoulders with other people.

Apologies if any of this was overly pedantic--I wish you the very best in your new endeavors!

Some additives in fast food can weaken the blood/brain barrier, so stuff that made it through the gut/blood barrier get in the brain and activate the brain's immune system.

Huber: Package Manager for GitHub Repos

Having toured France on a bike, I couldn't remember a time when there was more than 30km between towns, so it should be theoretically possible. Although this was before eBikes took off, so I never learned the proper, French way to ask to use a plug in a civilized manner. I guess you could always stop into a McDonalds. Could bringing along an extra battery pack have been an option?
Unfortunately true.

Even when presented with TikTok's data harvesting or algorithm tweaking to make divisive issues trend more popularly -- no users want to give it up.

Really does anyone have any better rationale that could be used to convince people not to use it? I have older relatives (60s) and younger (teens) that are obsessed with it.
Disclaimer: happy iOS and Android user -- I like both platforms and think both have strengths and weaknesses. Mostly a Linux user on desktop.

> Do they know that google pays Apple... to be default search

This statement comes off a bit ironic in the fact that you are pointing out a deal that Apple has with Google -- the current steward over Android -- as a reason that Apple isn't a bastion for privacy. This irony highlights the fact that one is often worse-off from a privacy perspective in using Android -- the main competitor to iOS -- because it is built with Google as a first party.

I absolutely agree that there is an exaggeration of privacy with Apple. But in most cases, iOS does actually do privacy better than Android. Private Relay, App Tracking Transparency and Google not being a first-party in the development in the Operating System are things that come to mind. Additionally, according to a research paper done in 2021, Google collects around 20x more data (around 1+ TB every 12 hours) on Android compared to iOS (around 6 GB)[0]. Even if the methodology behind the paper wasn't perfect (which Google claims) I don't think anyone would be surprised that Google collects more information than Apple.

My opinion is that the sweet spot for privacy on a mobile device is to buy a Pixel (for the great hardware security benefits) and go with a custom, de-Googled ROM like CalyxOS and try to use F-Droid for all your apps. For those who are even more hardcore, GrapheneOS is awesome.

In my opinion, stock Android is far worse for privacy than iOS simply because of Google's first-party influence. And then if you go with a vendor like Samsung you not only have Google as a first party on your mobile device but also Samsung.

The only option left if you want more privacy on mobile than an iPhone is to either flash a de-Googled ROM, like I said earlier, or to go with some sort of Linux distribution on mobile -- both of those alternatives come with huge downsides.

(Sorry for the rant, I always find this topic interesting)

Gotta admit i also checked out obsidian and the top review for the app on the play store gave me pause. Seems the app cannot sync with your local server so you'd need the sync subscription if you wanted to use app and desktop together to maintain one set of notes.

And underrated, imho. I’m always delighted when I get something that uses magnets in a unique way: keeping a lid closed, providing alignment when attaching things, as a method of mounting unrelated things to each other, and even just to fidget with. Magnets are awesome.
