Hmm... so I can't use this to render and filter a table with 10k rows without having 10k markdown files?

If I understand correctly, the intention seems to be "curated list of links" which the user can sort, filter, etc when viewing. I guess that's cool, if you use Obsidian lots and have many notes/links - but when I clicked the article and saw the table I was hoping for a "dataframe" plugin for .md (much like how mermaid works, defined in a codeblock) that references a nearby CSV/JSON/etc file.

I often have a lot of .md files floating around "data" projects and a lightweight tabular renderer (with filtering, sorting, possibly editing) would be absolutely killer. Does such a thing exist already?

I think what you're trying to describe is a Jupyter notebook but in a slimmer package. Maybe marimo or quarto? Maybe there are already notebook viewers out there (on GitHub?) that only allow view or edit without code execution, if that suits your needs.

Hi - I work on this. Uptake is a steep curve right now, spare a thought for the TPUs today.

Appreciate all the takes so far, the team is reading this thread for feedback. Feel free to pile on with bugs or feature requests we'll all be reading.

Hello, thanks for the work for finally having an analog to Claude Code.

A natural question to ask is, if in the near future, can Google One "Google AI Pro" subscribers have higher limits than what is offered for free users?

Here is a gradated set of exercises to determine one's phone addiction, if any, in increasing levels of potential difficulty.

  1 - on an off day, with no reason to require phone use,
    put your phone in a dresser drawer for the day and
    do not use or look at it.

  2 - on an off day, with no reason to require phone use,
    put your phone in a dresser drawer for the day and
    leave your residence for at least one hour.

  3 - leave your phone at home when either meeting friends,
    getting lunch, or going to the grocery store.

  4 - leave your phone at home when going into the office
    for one day.

  5 - leave your phone in a dresser drawer for an entire
    weekend.

  6 - leave your phone at home when traveling for more
    than a day (vacation, visiting family, etc.).

Looks like I just inadvertently skipped to level 4 every workday, due to working inside of a restricted area with lots of proprietary industrial stuff.

Seeing math on Lined Pages is unsettling to me. I agree with author that Blank Pages tend to become a mess, and that Gridded Pages are too "noisy", that's why Dotted pages are perfect and prefered for Journals, especially ones with very light dots. I wonder why I don't see more of those in math.
jskherman · 4 months ago
Yeah, I also found dotted notebooks to be the sweet spot. It's cleaner than a lined or gridded notebooks and especially helpful if they're already numbered.

The tweaks they found in the article is basically a proto-version of the Bullet Journal but just with its index system.

Physical notebooks are nice but as I have to come to know throughout the years, they are also kind of "disposable" and cannot survive long-term if you have to do any amount of moving. You wish you could keep all of your journals/notebooks in an archive but seems infeasible when you don't have your own house or your house is just too small. The rising rent and house prices just makes this all the worse.

I noticed that OpenAI don't compare their models to third party models in their announcement posts, unlike google, meta and the others.
jskherman · 5 months ago
They're doing the Apple strategy. Less spotlight for other third parties, and less awareness how they're lagging behind so that those already ignorantly locked into OpenAI would not switch. But at this point why would anyone do that when switching costs are low?

This is the whole main challenge of the quantified self movement all over again.

There's a lot of attempts to solve this problems but not much has been found, possibly because the whole setup of ELT processes is a lot of chores (just think about the whole inconsistent formats of data across services). It's like having a second job in data engineering, and I'm not even remotely in the software/data industry! I just like and do coding as a hobby.

> God forbid that the solution is committing binary images to the Git repository.

Where does the misconception that that's somehow a problem stem from? In 30 years of having web sites, that approach has invariably served me well.

jskherman · a year ago
From what I read and experienced, it makes the size of the Git repository much bigger than it should be with how Git tries to keep copies of old binary files (specifically the data and hash) since it cannot diff those unlike plaintext. You eventually have cache of the old files in the repo if you're not deliberate with setting --depth when cloning.
