In reality, I think it's more likely that the lay-offs will be when the marginal rate of growth slows down. Once executives see that growth doesn't change much when hiring, they stop hiring, and once they see that growth doesn't decrease much when firing, they start firing.

There's still an opportunity for engineers to eat their bosses lunch and just start their own company. It's never been easier to start a lower cost competitor.

Employment isn't a social law of nature: it's a transaction of money for "units of work", just like the business might have with other vendors. Governments should be making it easier to become a vendor.

What do you know?

Agree, but maybe they worry they'll be even more irrelevant if they don't partner? Keep your enemies close...

Shout out to Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/), which I use on a daily basis.

It does most of what Obsidian does but has a free sync version where you just use your cloud drive as the storage.

The main thing missing, from what I've found, is that it does do the "notes mind map". But I never really found that useful.

For folks interested, Obsidian also has a free sync option that just uses your cloud drive, you just have to set it up yourself.

It's pretty simple. Just get Google Drive Desktop to mount your Google Drive to your filesystem, then point obsidian to work within that mounted directory.

I ended up just paying the $4/mo for syncing my personal vault, mostly to support the project but also because it's nice to not have to think about it.

At work, we just have what we call "brain" repos where we all just dump notes and commit straight to the main branch. They are just collections of markdown files that we use Obsidian to view/edit.

There's also obsidian livesync which is really great. A bit overcomplex but when you get the hang of it it works great. You can even see yourself typing from another connected client. Very impressive.

Google Drive Desktop will only help if you're on macOS or Windows. I know it's technically possible to mount GDrive on Linux but it's neither pretty nor user-friendly.

You can also use Dropbox.

People always warn that this setup can corrupt your stuff, which I understand you definitely wouldn't want to try to share Git via Google Drive.

Obsidian shows a warning about this. But the only issue it's pointing out is that mixing Obsidian's built-in sync with something that syncs your files is likely to cause problems. Otherwise it's a perfectly safe and normal way to sync.

Joplin looks great, and is open source, but it appears to have one problem: the primary data store is SQLite, not files, and in this AI infected era having plain text files on the local filesystem is really important.

So if I am correct the "cloud drive as the storage" option is syncing with a the local SQLite db and to get local files one would need to be syncing the local db with both the cloud drive and the local filesystem.

With Obsidian I sync from local files direct to a cloud drive.

Does joplin cloud have a merge algorithm for multi-user edits or does it just punt and do conflict files?

no merging, they just show as sync conflicts

Isn't it also missing nested folders? I tried Joplin, but no nested folders was a huge disappointment for me.

It has nested folders. But it will continue to have the problem of not being exactly whatever you are using now.

They are being selected for their survival potential, though. Any current version of LLMs are the winners of the training selection process. They will "die" once new generations are trained that supercede them.

I'm tired of reading AI blog-posts. Write in your own words, please.

Would you like me to draft a list of recommendations for how best to use comments?

Can I ask how you annotate the feedback for it? Just with inline comments like `# This should be changed to X`?

The author mentions annotations but doesn't go into detail about how to feed the annotations to Claude.

Slidev is markdown, so i do it in html comments. Usually something like:

    <!-- TODOCLAUDE: Split this into a two-cols-title, divide the examples between -->

or

    <!-- TODOCLAUDE: Use clipart skill to make an image for this slide -->

And then, when I finish annotating I just say: "Address all the TODOCLAUDEs"

Thanks for sharing this method - such an elegant way to add annotations to generated specs!

There's pretty much only one global insurer affiliated with dive schools, so this is spot on

If the monopolist chef is deliberately adding addictive ingredients that causes health problems, I think, yes, they're the ones to punish or address the problem with.

Facebook does not have a monopoly on social media. (He says, writing on a competing social media site.)

Like sugar? Are we going to make candy illegal now? Through the court system, retroactively, with no legislative mandate?

We may requires, high sugar food to be labeled like cigarettes, maximum portion size available (largest drink can be 500ml), put more tax on it, advertise against it, ban in schools, ban advertisements in children program/movies.

The law takes intent into consideration, candy makers are not intending to make someone addicted to their product. This lawsuit is showing the intent behind certain user experience features was to addict users, not just make it a sweet and nice place to be.

You think candy companies aren't doing everything they can to get repeat customers?

There's no law saying social media has to be a "sweet and nice place to be", and that was never the goal. They want to make it an interesting place to be so you keep coming back, and there's no law against that. Trying to create one ex post facto via the court system is a really dumb idea.
