Not surprised at the results.

Super glad my granny always made sure I knew how rude it was to look at my phone when you're with someone.


Not since Google results became such garbage. Plus, the chats provide references. So easy to verify.


I love that Bing Chat actually links to references. It felt like something was missing from ChatGPT without it.


If I have to check each reference, what's the added value compared to just giving me a list of links (i.e. a good old search engine)?

Chat search tools are only useful if (when?) they achieve a 99.99% reliability (I'm fine with one mistake per 1000 searches).


Just because it does, it doesn’t mean they’re being interpreted correctly, so watch out for https://xkcd.com/906/


In the context of LLMs they aren't really sources, just additional reference material. I'd trust what Bing Chat tells me far before I'd trust Google's new Bard AI. It legit started making up non-existent commands for me to use.


I've seen tweets that suggest they are using it, particularly, the prerelease GPT-4 was used internally.


I wonder if they fixed replying to Gmail threads. Last time I tried, without the NLP layer, it failed to do anything but create new threads.


We just added a "Gmail: Create Draft Reply" action and by default the NLA API will auto-guess the appropriate thread. Share feedback if you see this not working as expected as it's new!


Impressive dedication to science.


Thanks! I prefer to think of it as pettiness or peevishness. I knew there would be no risk.


>> I knew there would be no risk.

...as long as the plumming tape was made from Teflon, and nothing else.



Interesting, my mum did get her medical degree from that institution…


I assume the majority of the most important science humans have done was to win an argument or impress a woman (or, more rarely but more notably, a man).


Mostly men, for tenure or boasting purposes. Until quite recently women were excluded from science, as they were excluded from so many other interesting things.


Both criminals and scientists put in the biggest amount of energy into their "career" before they hit 30. Trying to impress a mate makes sense as an explanation. The peaking physical condition and declining Testosterone production after 30 might be another reason.


Depending on how reductionist you want to get (and if you're anything like me, that's quite reductionist), most everything we do is at least tangentially associated with impressing a mate.


To me, Obsidian flexibility and ease of customization makes it more of a personal operating system than simply a knowledge base.

An OS requires a DB, but a DB is not an OS.


> An OS requires a DB

You said it yourself: Obsidian (= an OS) requires a DB.

But It does not have (a good, full-featured) one yet. dataview ? db-folder ? Yeah, sure, we are getting there [1]

If it’s really going to go down this route then really someone should write one (an extensible PKM app) in a quicker language like Rust, Go or Swift. It’s an Electron app, if people are going to add massive amounts of plugins it’s going to become a resource hog before too long.

Even a completely empty Obsidian vault with no plugins is slow to load on iOS (although I am still running on an 8 plus so it might be quicker on more modern hardware). I actually capture any new notes when I’m out and about in 1Writer because it loads instantaneously then move them into Obsidian when I’m on my Mac at a later date. I only use the obsidian mobile app now if I want to specifically look up or modify an existing note.

I’m not a massive fan of all these extensions for Obsidian tbh, it seems to go against the grain of what the whole thing was originally meant to be about which was basically a note taking tool that had back links and block inclusion like Roam but one that was also portable due to it being markdown. Now people are just writing reams of config in code blocks inside markdown files which are going to be completely useless outside Obsidian unless someone is going to port that plugin to whatever application you want to migrate to. Plugins that add functionality that work within the existing markdown format are ok such as the Calendar plugins, advanced tables, natural dates etc but the config based plugins are no bueno as far as I’m concerned. If they become syntaxes like fountain or mermaid with a life outside of Obsidian I’d consider using them but until that day I will most likely steer clear.


> To make our meetings more effective and efficient, we have created Mochary Method software. If you find the software effective, feel free to use it with your reports as well. [1]

Does anyone have any references for this software?

> Typical reactions to the software are:

> Meeting 1: “Why are we using this software? Let’s just use a Google Doc, it’s easier.”

> Meeting 2: “Oh, I see why this software is better than a Google Doc. Let’s keep using it.”

> Meeting 3: “This software is awesome. Can I please use this throughout my entire company.”

Seems interesting.

Edit: I think it's "CompanyOS" [2]. The homepage is nearly a replica of the Mochary Method website.

But, I haven't seen anything about how the software works. Does anyone have any information about it's features?

From the hiring page [3]:

> Each is paying $150,000/yr for access to our product.

We are working on a variety of different software solutions, CompanyOS being one of them! Right now our software is only available to our clients.


Thanks for your contribution.

Besides adding image generation, how is this better than the existing text-generator plugin?


> It's like the connection between objects in real life and objects in programming

What if this a more accurate representation:

"It's like the connection between dictionaries in real life and dictionaries in programming."

The neuron could be implementing NN theory in a way that is optimized for it's environment.


What about...

"We need a forum with accountability from people we work with and see regularly"

I know employers are already doing this.

Alternatively,

"We need a forum where locally connected people share the same avatar"

An additional layer of accountability being the theme in both.
