Indeed. Also, add many other unique identifier formats (ULID, nanoid, bson ids ...) — in contrast to compatibility complaints here — and you'll see that people just love tinkering with trivial things (me too). What was important during

If you really need it, consider UUIDv4 as encoding, and use your cryptographic algorithm to create a 122-bit output and encode it as a UUID. Otherwise, you'd want longer outputs.

I expect commenters on HN to substantiate their opinion rather than just be dismissive. I called it strange because I think commenters here are smart enough to dig under the layer of marketing from extremist sides (Kool-AI'd and anti-A

The notes themselves are already online anyway. PS In reference to running AI locally: for my own (non-online) app (Calcish) I specifically waited to introduce AI until local modals become usable, as I didn't want to just add APIs and

See my response here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280968 As for third-party: almost everything is third-party online. I agree with that if you don't want to use software using third party services (be it AWS&

That's a completely different argument. If you don't want your notes online, you don't use an online note-taking app whether it's with AI or not.

On the contrary, LLMs are less complex than various NLP algorithms (many of them also use machine learning models). Same with semantic search. I keep my notes in text files. But I understand that LLMs are better for powering the features Gr

This is a strange opinion to hear on HN. You don't want search and information extraction to be powered by a certain algorithm that is measurably better at this than other algorithms? Is it okay that this product uses timsort or you&#x

XHTML was a move by Big CMS to make edit-and-FTP error prone. Before that you rarely had to care whether the tag was closed.

I strongly believe that the harm we experienced from XHTML should not be passed down to future generations.
