If all you're using Obsidian as is a fancy markdown editor then of course you lose nothing. But the whole point of PKM apps is that they're more than a fancy markdown editor. Without the tool, a Kanban board that remains as a bunc

This is true for every note-taking app with an export functionality. And it really isn't good enough. The entire reason you use Obsidian or Notion or Anytype or Capacities.io or Logseq, or anything more powerful than a set of markdown

To be more accurate, the 7 year old will tell you they can't do it and suggest the use of a calculator. GPT simply gives you a complete hallucination. This can be gotten around imperfectly with prompt engineering to get GPT to admit it

The purpose of reporting crime is not to receive compensation; it's to create a norm where crime is punished and hence deterred. It's a societal benefit not a personal one. It's not good that miscarriages of justice do happen

It's almost a tautology. All things being equal, the less time spent on bureaucratic processes, the better. Its just so that governments (and academic institutions, nonprofits, healthcare, etc.) are the natural environments for bureauc

I am also a thief in all of the same ways. When I write, I am doing nothing but laundering sentences and grammar rules from my English textbooks as well as sampling from the millions of sentences that I have read in my lifetime to compose i

Also unlike a video game, the tech-tree dependencies are not obvious. We don't know in advance whether a tech will be a productive avenue of R&D, or if it depends on other unrelated advances in theory, material science, or computer

I don't know, seems like a pretty proportionate response to someone coming into your store and installing what's effectively spyware on your machines. Sure, no harm was done and it was in the name of art, but how would anyone maki

Insider trading improves the efficacy of financial markets actually, since it allows markets to take non-public information into account. The bigger problem is that it opens up avenues of market manipulation and causes conflicts of interest

You certainly don't need calculus to understand exponential growth; you'd get a good sense of it from just looking at a chart. The ability to apply learned theory to real life in cross-domain ways is not common and not so easily t

In the hypothetical world, where press is a natural monopoly, we would be far less likely to allow the press to refuse to publish viewpoints they don't like. Or we would outright nationalize the press and lead to a different sort of pr

Overscoping a beginner project is completely harmless. The worst thing that can happen is that you get stuck along the way and realize that a feature is much more difficult or out right impossible. You then cut that feature or give up on th

They do it not because they want to but because they have no choice. The UX on those software are horrible by modern standards and incur massive wastes of manhours. Had a subscription model been used, those software might have benefited fro

All of these safety measures are developed through trials and iterative improvements, not something that was foreseen by the inventors. That's because its difficult if not impossible to accurately predict the impact of a revolutionary

You can run people over with cars, electrocute them with electricity. This doesn't mean we should never have built cars or generators. The more powerful and impactful something is, the greater the potential for abuse. You don't ev

...then it's great that at least they're talking about it on some forum, giving us a chance to persuade them otherwise and to call the police. If we didn't have such a forum, they might already have started their murder spree

To add, personal experience can be useful, but is not the end-all in decision making. It's useful in the ways anecdotes are useful, that is to say, good as an illustrative example but may not be statistically representative. In general

If Bagger 288 tries to drive across a footbridge that's not really the engineer's fault. Although while everyone intuitively understands the load bearing capacity of a footbridge, not many understand the capabilities of ML models.

Early Reddit isn't what what most would call a "bad result". Ditto for early 4chan and for a lot of smaller communities that have very little restrictions on content beyond civility and anti-spamming. The problem is that havi
