Because major environmental actors (big NGOs...) are mostly engaging in a PR exercise to incite fear into our collective lizard brain. As Attenborough said: "saving our planet is now a communicat…

Zotero [0] is very good. it: - is open source and well maintained. - could be used both online and locally. - offers both folders and tags for organization. - could also be used for your pdf-annotatio…

IMO, Personal databases are really underrated. They can effectively replace a lot of "apps" while adapting them to our exact custom use-cases. The problem of LibreOffice Base is that it is s…

This dream of no-code web data extraction and manipulation is still alive. The best example I've seen is https://www.bardeen.ai/ : a local-first in-browser solid collection of a…

First, I’m assuming the documentation is already updated (i.e., 1st part is OK = no staleness) Second, the whole point of AI NLP search (i.e., 2nd part = loss) is that it does not need metadata (which…

Summary: HIGH Documentation = HIGH staleness + HIGH loss. HIGH staleness is because nobody wants to do it (status is lower). Also… nobody else can do it (full understanding of what is being documented…

> we won't have cheap labor off of which we can profit This should have been the subtitle of this article.

Here is my two cents on this whole non-work thing. We are in a 21st century western civilisation where food (= no hunger) and entertainment (= no boredom) are cheap and abundant. If you somehow manage…

This is what I'm hoping for : 1- A lot of options to influence/edit the generated output. What AUTOMATIC1111 is building for Stable Diffusion is the right direction (open extensions and mano…

> You can make big, long-term bets on these things, because there’s no chance people will stop caring about them in the future. I wish more VCs thought about investing in our sustainable future on …

Wait until they turn your physical space into an ad-delivery system. Introducing HoloLens v10 ! it fits in contact lenses ! wear it everywhere !

For newly developed software, most of it these days is SaaS. I think this is not stressed enough as the major architectural chokepoint. For decade-old accumulating code, IMO, AI may offer solutions. M…

If they are from a middle-class family up and can afford some tech and parental assistance, enhanced subtitles is indeed a good idea. Other services include https://subtly.media/ and …

this is often called “audio to midi" or "Music Transcription". In term of simplicity, Decoda [0] is supposed to give chords even for full songs. It is not precise though. FYI, the best …

I always thought the power of last.fm is underused. For me, it is not for reviewing my top music and showing it in social media badges or doing useless analysis and visualization on my music history d…

the "tft community" is a nebulous (like thought itself) thing centred mostly around twitter as a space, and around (again, mostly) note-taking tools as a subject. I'm not part of it. T…

Well, the distinction between PKB (personal knowledge base) and "personal" publishing is kind of artificial. "Digital gardens" is a proof of that. But it is a useful distinction, a…

I'm from a generation that used all-physical systems (pen/paper/articles...). Now everything is digital. So, for example, for work that need intensive digital research and such, our act…
