  • Goodluck checking for hallucinations using this approach

    I used to use llm to fill up forms with personal data: llm always tries to imagine new people, amalgamation of correct names from db, new forms, imaginary places of birth, nonexistent false data. Weeding out these error is hard and usually happens far late into production. To catch the error, I have to create all sorts of pipelines and checks, which is insane complexity and maintenance burden for such a simple job as “fill up a form”


    AI hyped coworker in response to this problem said: oh, so it’s just a quality problem – you can put AI to check the result 10 times and if it’s flaky, give it to human to check.

    He created a system where llms were writing code, checked the resulting code and verified it to written requirements by nontechnical-human. I mean it’s impressive but I can’t imagine the system being “hired” to do high stake projects.





  • obsidian’s format is well documented and well understood. There are dozens of FOSS plugins and tools for converting or directly importing obsidian data to nearly every other solution. Due to obsidian’s popularity, it’s interoperability this way is often far superior to FOSS solutions’.

    To reiterate this claim: just because Erica gave Shida enough time to document his work in the open, she is entitled to exploit foss contributors for profit. Is that your point here?

    Also not only she can exploit foss contributors when it suits her, she also can remove their work from the ecosystem whenever momentum for acquisition is ripe. Do you think it’s false?

    If Erica doesn’t pay you to write these comments, does it feel morally right to you defending these capitalist practices?


  • So to reiterate, you’ve just stated that all the following[^1] doesn’t need to be exported

    • links to attachments,
    • modification dates,
    • internal links to your other notes (Obsidian doesn’t even follow markdown standard here, so just say goodbye to it)
    • titles,
    • tags,
    • folder structure

    How about you just delete this metadata then? if in case of outage/transition to other notetaker it’s going to be lost anyway, why you even need it, right?

    c’mon, mate. I can feel you’re smarter than this

    [^1] This is called “front matter” format btw and all responsible usercentric notetakers offer an export of your metadata to it. But Obsidian is not one of them
