Does anyone have a "lab notebook" style of PKM in Emacs?

I used to use Org-Roam in Emacs, but fell in love with Logseq [0], primarily because

1. it has a "daily journal" default workflow (though individual pages are supported)

2. the support of datalog queries

3. templates

This basically allows me to make templates for things I need (e.g. meeting notes, etc) and to write a few key queries (that are also templated for reuse) to do things like get the most overdue tasks, upcoming, things I promised to others, things I'm waiting on, etc. I can even drill down and get that stuff for an individual "page", e.g. "Emacs" or "C++".

The lack of a "lab journal" format + flexible queries makes going back to other solutions not as enticing, as the "perfect artifact" of wiki-esque editing (and not being able to easily see backlinks) is not as easy. I can open my Logseq folder, make a "meeting" template, then #tag the people and topics discussed, and be able to go back later and make a query to see when I discussed #topic with #person.

I would love to move this back into Emacs, as I hate having a separate tool for PKM, so if anyone has a similar workflow (or at least flexible queries on "tags" and task status, backlinks, etc, even without the daily journal thing), I'd be grateful for any tips.

Just to make this discussion less abstract: is a groupby operation monotonic?

I see a lot of healthcare and AI startups backed by YC. I wonder if any ever generate actual value (other than appearing valuable on paper)
The wikipedia article continues: "Prior to 1985, water meters were not required in New York City; water and sewage fees were assessed based on building size and number of water fixtures; water metering was introduced as a conservation measure."

Most places I've lived in the US have been metered.
I think there might be local effects from elevated brine levels, but overall nothing substantial.

Compared to the amount of water that is naturally desalinated every day (ie via evaporation), even large scale desalination is a drop in the bucket.

Desalination is already operating on a massive scale in the middle east, and we're not seeing any medium scale effects there. Elevated salinity dissipates very quickly from the point of outflow.
You are probably right.

However, if your issues are tied to local characteristics, then (in maybe an abstract way) you still have another fundamental obstacle to scalability, not related to compensation..

(FWIW i think an interesting related question is whether YC might be able to scale outside SF if they werent so into the slogan “do things that dont scale” — which i sometimes interpret as the viridical paradox “scale by not scaling”)
By loopable I mean that the output of a node/leaf can become its own input or any other ancestor.

The mind map software I’ve used was unidirectional with links coming out from a central node/leaf. What I missed was linking leafs back to the origin or other branches.

After all, our minds are interconnected and definitely not unidirectional - at least mine!

I use Node-Red[1] to create my mind map which has the added advantage that my mind map is “executable”. Node-Red is actually a visual programming environment and has nothing to do with mind maps except visually. I created some specific Node-Red nodes to represent leafs/nodes of my mind map.

Finally someone who pronounces sibboleth properly!

At one point I ran across a US book which noted that children of psychiatrists tend to wind up in treatment themselves, with the exception having been just after WWII (when the army's need for psychiatrists meant they retrained many people who had studied as regular GPs), and concluded that it may be a field many people pursue due to the attraction of self-diagnosis.

If i download a new version of foo and rename my old version to foo_old_backup_2, should foo_old_backup_2 start behaving differently, just because it has a different name? NO THANKS!

A program should be sandboxed from its environment, including how the user started it. How a user names and organizes his files is a matter between the user and the operating system, not something individual program should care about.
Wow. Can someone confirm those prices? That’s quite a jump!
I've done it more than that because I've been buying refurbished or used laptops (generally ThinkPads) and maxing them out cheaply. If I were buying a new flagship machine every 5 years or so I doubt it would matter to me. But that used market is extremely important for keeping this stuff out of landfill for a few more years.
I am not sure that dam removal is the right decision for every dam, but it seems like there is a movement in that direction. A lot of what I hear locally when people push for dam removals seems like emotional activism rather than rational thinking. Losing hydroelectric power, facing renewed flooding seasons, losing easy navigation, etc. may not actually be an overall positive change.

And the goals feel arbitrary - like when people say they want to “restore the environment”, I wonder why it makes sense to restore it to any particular particular point in time when all these rivers have changed over time. In other cases, where the goal is restoring fish populations, there are alternative methods of helping the fish population and a dam removal seems like a very expensive method with other risks.
Many well-known artists have this problem. Heck, my gf went to a K&D concert recently, and she described the same phenomenon. People were ok while the new stuff was being played. And since everyone was obviously waiting for it, they played their hits around the end, which is where the people were most excited. And thats justa a recent example. Some of the really good guys usually play over it, and reinvent themselves, ignoring what their fans want to hear.

That said, I personally also prefer his earlier books. Granted, snowcrash was a young mans fever dream, and you kind of grow out of it. A young ladies illustrated primer? That was kinda cool. Quicksilver? Yeah, an unexpected history lesson woven into a pretty long story. Liked it. But seven eves? No. That one kind of killed my love for his work. I dont know why, but he kind of overdid the long-story-arc thing there.
Probably they don't read Hackernews anymore.

I personally think re-learning into construction / architecture as a backup plan. IMO we are all living in overly costly and ugly houses, so maybe it could be improved at least a bit :)
Stack Nomenclature
I don't think we need worry too much about desert habitats being removed. Deserts are large (and getting larger) and the amount of land which could realistically benefit from desalination is a tiny fraction of that.

While brine can impact local salinity, so does treated-effluent outflows (mixed together they are neutral.) Regardless elevated brine levels drop off sharply from the point of outflow.

> If the law is vague, it is the duty of the judiciary to call that out and of the legislature to rewrite the law to be more precise.

Why? Nothing in our Constitution requires precise laws. Arguably (and since I'm making it, I'll say I'm in favor of this argument), the Constitution would preclude overly strict laws because the Executive is a co-equal branch of government.

> Vague laws are not an excuse for executive agencies to go ham, and I applaud the judiciary for reining in executive abuse of power.

Why not?

Congress has the authority to pass the laws it sees fit. Why is it suddenly a problem that Congress passed a law that says "the agency known as the Federal Trade Commission is established and the President, through a set of commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, shall ensure that the these list of goals are accomplished and shall establish such rules as the Commission deems appropriate."

We aren't a parliamentary system. The Congress has the power of the purse and the power to enact laws. The President has the power to implement the laws and to spend the money.

What's changed in recent years is the judiciary has come along and decided that a hundred years of Congress writing laws with bullet-point goals and the President acting under those laws is no longer relevant because "Congress didn't write enough words." That's not how textualism works.
Summarizing the past twenty-thirty years as "slightly more productive markets due to efficiency thanks to better information" might be oversimplifying things a bit, don't you think?
This is pointless in the long run. For now, there's still plenty of people who just simply ask ChatGPT a question straight up and copy-paste the output. In such cases, it's doable to catch a lot of them with very few false positives.

But at some point this will become common knowledge, and then the norm will be using LLM services that generate content that is not recognizable as AI-generated, rendering this policy as useful as one that requires posters to wear red socks while posting.

A trend I've been noticing is that there's people who actually have something useful to add or ask, but for some reason, possibly being scared of downvotes, still use GPT to rewrite their stuff. Maybe the community is to intimidating, maybe they don't know how to phrase stuff properly, but I've seen it multiple times.

This inspired me to develop SoundNatty[1] that shows the long-term fruitlessness of policies like these, by rewriting content to sound natural to a target audience. I'm not offering an API because I hate bot spam as much as anyone else, but honestly it's only a matter of time before someone else does.

I tried a good IDE recently: Jetbrains IntelliJ and Webstorm. Considered the topdog of IDEs. Was working on a typescript project which uses npm link to symlink another local project into the node_modules of current project.

The great IDEs IntelliJ and Webstorm stopped autosuggesting completions from the symlinked project.

Open up Sublime Text again. Worked perfectly. That is why Jetbrains and their behemoth IDEs are utter shite.

Republicans run on the platform of small government, but then what that basically means is deficient spend, line their own pockets, and then let democrats fix the issues, then blame the issues on the democrats. They have demonstrated this twice, and now are the laughing stock of the entire world as the big orange baby is leading the party off a cliff.

Democrats are literally the only option left. They may not be optimal, but at least they actually do stuff that matters.
This sounds like a really bad-faith interpretation of the parent comment. What do you actually mean?

You have LinkedIn and Twitter examples, where you're very likely violating their TOS as they prohibit any scraping.

I also assume you don't check the robots.txt of websites?

I'm all for automating tedious work, but with all this (mostly AI-related) scraping, things are getting out of hand and creating a lot of headaches for developers maintaining heavily scraped sites.

Root cause is a hormone imbalance, GLP-1 agonists patch a reward center in the brain (scoped to addiction, whether that be food, drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc).

What’s interesting is that we’re about to have a large scale natural experiment around addiction and whether it is chronic due to brain chemistry or more willpower as GLP-1 agonist uptake rate skyrockets in the general population (which should result in addiction reduction at scale).
Can't you use heat exchangers to stack the effect of swamp coolers, so each level gets another 30° colder until it's comfortable?

Rather than be related to training data this looks like a RAG issue - even if you don't have the AI answers (I don't get them) the first result is:

"Conclusions: *Parachute use did not reduce death or major traumatic injury when jumping from aircraft* in the first randomized evaluation of this intervention. However, the trial was only able to enroll participants on small stationary aircraft on the ground, suggesting cautious extrapolation to high altitude jumps."

Google is leveraging their normal search tech to bring up extracts of some number of webpages which match the query, and then adding the AI feature on top of that to synthesise a single result from those extracts. It's meant to improve on pure LLM output by putting out more topical results - I think that on average though you get worse results than the pure output of an LLM. This is because you're telling it to base its answer on the results, which might be satire (like in this case), or by someone lying on purpose, or written by an idiot who has no idea what they're talking about, or some other kind of outlier from the mean.

On the other hand, pure LLM output will be more likely to be correct because it's based on the most likely next token (which is something similar to common sense) - "parachutes are ..." is more likely to be followed by "useful when skydiving" than "useless when skydiving".

Congress grants authority for rule making by various legislation. The question of if they have the authority is on the interpretation that legislation.

Too much may be pushed into executive orders and rule making but the highly politicized court of the northern district of Texas is also not the answer.

The federal judiciary is also appointed by the executive and is increasingly partisan.
I think it's logically monotonic in the sense that as you add input data to your query, the output simply accumulates (you never have to retract any prior conclusions).

Consistency between two accumulators is easy, they just sum their states.
The whole point of NaNoWriMo is to actually write something - and if LLMs are what helps you do it, then what’s the harm?

You're spot on about the "writing" section.

I mean you could also design keys to be synchronisable by the user. Generate a key-pair inside of key (2), transfer the public key from (2) to (1). Encrypt the the root key inside of (1) with the public key, transfer it over to (2).

(Or just allow the user to generate the root key outside of the device and insert it)

I honestly think the interest from customers is just too low. I would bet the majority of Yubico's customers are enterprises where this is not really an issue for most use cases. If you loose your key used for Entra ID / SSO, just go to IT support and get a new one enrolled to your account. Much cheaper than having synchronised hot spares (at 30-50 USD a pop) for thousands of employees.
Well yes, neural networks are very good for pattern recognitions and data categorization tasks. Also for speech synthesis. I wasn't saying that this is a bad application of AI. I was talking about generative AI and LLMs specifically, the kind that takes prompt strings and spits out text/image/audio/whatever.

Maybe if we manage to run LLMs locally, we can put one into a keyboard app and finally have a Russian touchscreen keyboard that doesn't make me want to yeet my phone at a wall for repeatedly failing to type the word in the correct grammatical form when I use gesture input. But somehow we aren't there yet. I guess ChatGPT is more important.
I’d rather keep passwords, TOTP and backup keys in different services because I never saw the point of keeping them together with the passwords as you explain.

With the YubiKey, TOTP has become more convenient and more secure than it used to be with Authy and then Ente. But maybe I should consider integrating them for most accounts

You can definitely test things such as openness to new ideas and proneness to certain biases, which tend to be fantastic indicators.
