This is a good development in terms of processing information for people.

Visual memory comes the easiest to people and it’s the quickest way to understand and convey information to most people.

Other forms of memory that I expect to see having better tools to address them are auditory and kinesthetic.

Has anyone tried Migadu? I was wondering whether it’d be a good option for if I wanted to use it for my business.

Same! I’m trying to find small models that can embed effectively to enable BM25/hybrid search over a large number of documents for a personal information repository. Ideally, it should run on consumer hardware.

bge-small-en-v1.5 is one that is comparable and what we’re working with for now.

The fluffy bench repository might not be enabled for public access btw. I can’t see it when I click on the link.

This is one of the major gripes that real estate sales agents have.

I’ve consistently heard complaints from customers that they don’t like it. At this point, map technology has come far enough that we could visualize thousands of points using Cesium on consumer-grade hardware so I don’t think it’s a performance issue either.

When it comes to overlapping dots, we generally solve this by displacing the dots minimally so that they’re all still in the same building or same area but visibly different locations.

Hey Peter, I’m an F1 visa student and I’m trying to found a company with two Americans while being an Indian citizen. I plan on taking significant equity and will be part of the cofounders. Are there any significant hurdles that I should be on the lookout for here? I’d like to sign the founders agreement and found the company while I’m still pursuing my education but I’m not sure whether my visa status would throw any wrenches here.

It’s pretty much all you see nowadays on LinkedIn. Instagram is infected by AI videos that Sora generates while X has extremist views pushed up on a pedestal.

Hey, that's a pretty cool concept!

I work on developing technology to solve sales and real-estate problems and streamlining/populating connections with people is a big issue. Exporting these to an excel sheet/csv is something that sales folk would absolutely kill for to make things easier to manage.

However, the hurdle to have enough get the application and have it running on both parties' systems while at the event is certainly a pretty strong bottleneck.

Some vim user too! oil.nvim is a pretty popular package that does this.

I have largely the same setup but use neovim instead of obsidian.

A friendly tip: you don’t have to populate the metadata yourself and can use ‘hugo new <dir>/<post_name>.md’ to create the file with the metadata.
