Author here! Oops. You're right there was missing note on the natural minor. That's fixed now. Keep in mind I am a complete novice and made this for myself. The purpose is not necessarily to teach someone the circle of fifths but

There are YouTube influencers for every niche interest. The pattern you describe can be found in people talking about diets, exercise, fashion, home remodeling, etc. Creating novel terms is one way for influencers to differentiate and incre

I find top-down organizational systems like Johnny Decimal difficult to maintain over time. There is an overhead in having to think about which folder something belongs in. And a similar cost to recall. My own Obsidian vault is bottom-up. I

When I think about Photoshop it is so tied in my mind to its history as an offshoot of ILM and the VFX industry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#Early_history ILM's famous t-rex scene from Jurassic Pa

Genuine question — do you think synthetic images pose less of a problem than synthetic text? If yes, why?

The repercussions of what the author summarizes as "could you colour-grade a book?" still feel wildly unknown to me, even after a couple years of thinking about it (see Photoshop for text [1][2]). Partially it's because we&

It would be so cool to be able to save a delve exploration to a set of linked Markdown files that you can open in a local wiki app.

I've been dreaming of a device like this to run Obsidian on. I made an e-ink theme for Obsidian[1] but the refresh rate and ghosting of e-ink makes it less appealing to work with. I am curious to see if this device will solve some of t

Yes, it seems uncontroversial to say you will eventually die if you don't eat food... And it seems uncontroversial to say that eating higher quality food will help you live longer. Quality food deserves your hard-earned cash too. The r

I don't think you will die if you buy cheap jam — at least not quickly. The choice people make to buy higher quality jam isn't a function of life or death. It seem related to a perception of value, which good software doesn't

Converting time into money is easier for some people/professions than others. However converting less useful time into more useful time is a great thing for anyone. If an app gives you an extra 5 minutes every day, that's 30 hours

Assuming you haven't exited to a barter economy you must surely be buying food? Unlike food, software can create time. Time = potential earnings. Consider a piece of software that costs less than a sandwich but the leverage it creates

Some software has ongoing costs, such as support, servers, bug fixes, etc. But even in the hypothetical case that a piece of indie software has no ongoing costs, it seems fair that the creator should be at least somewhat rewarded for the v

Ah good catch. Yes the "D" key can be used to switch light/dark mode, but I didn't account for the bookmark shortcut. That should be fixed now. Thanks!

That's exactly my point. "File over app"[1] is just as relevant for businesses as it is for individuals — if you don't want your data to be used for training, then take sovereignty of it. [1] https://stephango

In this case they mean leak into the global model — so no. You can have sovereignty of your data if you use an open protocol like IRC or Matrix, or a self-hosted tool like Zulip, Mattermost, Rocket Chat, etc

In summary, you must opt-out if you want to exclude your data from global models. Incredibly confusing language since they also vaguely state that "data will not leak across workspaces". Use tools that cannot leak data not "w

if your data is stored in a database that a company can freely read and access (i.e. not end-to-end encrypted), the company will eventually update their ToS so they can use your data for AI training — the incentives are too strong to resist

The project's readme about "How it's made"[1] is interesting. The content of the Markdown repo is enjoyable to explore as an Obsidian vault[2]. I’d like to say that I wrote some clever site scraper and then algorithmica

In searching for the primary sources for the quotes in this article I found that "Extreme Metaphors" (ISBN 978-0-00-745485-3) seems to be the best collection of J. G. Ballard interviews. Quite a few are collected here: https:&#x2

Obsidian runs on local Markdown files so there are many free options you can use for syncing and publishing notes.

I understand what you mean. This will be most problematic if you downgrade far in advance of the renewal date, especially if you are on the yearly cycle. We'll look into improving that process. Downgrades are trickier for Obsidian than
