- Comment on Here are the patents Nintendo and the Pokémon Company are suing Palworld about, according to Pocketpair 4 days ago:
If those are the only 3 items they’re suing over, in an American court of law it’d be a slam dunk for PocketPair. Theres so much prior art, open use, and poor definitions involved the patents would be quickly invalidated.
But I’m not aware of the nuance of Japanese court, only that they tend to protect IP even more strongly than US courts.

- Comment on Nvidia to ship a billion of RISC-V cores in 2024 2 weeks ago:
They’ve been shipping them in every GPU for years.
These things are now managed by 10 to 40 custom RISC-V cores developed by Nvidia, depending on chip complexity. Nvidia started to replace its proprietary microcontrollers with RISC-V-based microcontroller cores in 2015, and by now, virtually all of its MCU cores are RISC-V-based, according to an Nvidia slide demonstrated at the RISC-V Summit.
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 4 weeks ago:
The cost was spread over several years. And at 25€ a ticket this doesn’t just serve the elite. The building is also a cultural landmark, so preserving it is of social interest, and the money spent went straight back into the local economy, where it was swiftly taxed again.
These arguments are lazy, find better ones.
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 4 weeks ago:
When the tickets are only €25 it’s not just for the rich. The opera house is a cultural landmark, preserving it serves the public. And it was 1.5B spread over several years, not all at once.
Honestly, the ‘money on art bad’ argument is not a good line here.
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 4 weeks ago:
Oh no no, don’t worry. Your pennies only paid for the art you like, other people paid for that weird stuff. That’s the best part of money, once you throw it all in a pile it all l looks the same!
- Comment on 18 treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing 4 weeks ago:
So what you’re saying is, such renovations obviously could only take place with government tax dollars, since as a private enterprise there’s no way they could make it work? And this relatively small amount of spending in the grand scheme of the tax system helps keep the local arts flourishing?
Sounds like the tax system is working!

- Comment on Test of a prototype quantum Internet runs underneath New York City for half a month 2 months ago:
Entangled particles cannot transmit information. That would violate information theory and likely causality as well.
Quantum networking is instead focused on using extremely robust encryption that can detect interception using quantum properties of light particles being transmitted in the fiber optics.

- Comment on To kill mammoths in the Ice Age, people used planted pikes, not throwing spears, researchers say 2 months ago:
We know they hearded them off cliffs in many parts of the world, probably egged on by throwing spears and jabs.
It seems pretty unlikely they’d have regularly risked death by planting a spear and waiting for a charge. It’s not like a multiple ton animal is going to be stopped by the spear.

- Comment on SK hynix says its 3D DRAM is half as expensive to produce — credits EUV chipmaking tools 2 months ago:
Well realistically it’s up to Samsung and Micron to respond. We could get a price war, which would be grand. But unfortunately we’ll probably instead see price collusion once again and the main competition will effectively settle on a price they’re all making a ton of money at.

Its dangerous to send goalposts flying around that fast, be careful or you’ll hurt yourself.
Your response is condescending, arguing from ignorance, and arguing in bad faith. I will reply this time, because once again you’re trying to build an argument on extremely shaky ground and I don’t enjoy people spreading lies unchallenged. However I won’t engage any further and feed whatever you think you’re getting from this.
I haven’t suggested that people should use Obsidian over OSS solutions. I was simply pointing out your argument against Obsidian’s architecture was poorly founded.
The data you’re insinuating will be lost is pure FUD. While the format isn’t standard markdown, none of the well implemented solutions are, because as you so rightly pointed out, markdown has little to no support for most of these features.
However, 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’.
- Comment on TriliumNext Notes - The last note taking app you should ever need 3 months ago:
Content is your notes. In obsidian this is represented by markdown files in a flat filesystem. This format is already cross platform and doesn’t need to be exported.
Metadata is extracted information from your notes that makes processing the data more efficient. Tags, links, timestamp, keywords, titles, filenames, etc are metadata, stored in the metadata database. When you search for something in obsidian, or view the graph, or list files in a tag etc obsidian only opens the metadata database to process the request. It only opens the file for read/write.
Does this help?
- Comment on TriliumNext Notes - The last note taking app you should ever need 3 months ago:
Tell me, are you aware of the distinction between content and metadata?
- Comment on TriliumNext Notes - The last note taking app you should ever need 3 months ago:
This isn’t really the case though. Obsidian uses a database for metadata, and therefore can extremely rapidly display, search, and find the correct file to open. It generally only opens a handful of files at a time.
I’ve used obsidian notes repos with hundreds of thousands of notes with no discernable performance impact. Something LogSeq certainly couldn’t do.
The complaint in the post you’ve linked is a) anecdotal and b) about the import process itself getting slow, which makes sense as obsidian is extracting the metadata.
I’ll always champion OSS software over proprietary, but claiming this is a huge failing of the obsidian design is just completely false. A metadata database fronting a flat filesystem architecture is very robust.

KobaldCPP will probably be the easiest way out of the box that has both image generation and LLMs.
I personally use vllm and HuggingChat, mostly because of vllm’s efficiency and speed increase.

And because it always bears repeating;
According to JPL’s Chief Engineer for Mission Operations and Science, Marc Rayman-
Let’s go to the largest size there is: the known universe. The radius of the universe is about 46 billion light years. Now let me ask (and answer!) a different question: How many digits of pi would we need to calculate the circumference of a circle with a radius of 46 billion light years to an accuracy equal to the diameter of a hydrogen atom, the simplest atom? It turns out that 37 decimal places (38 digits, including the number 3 to the left of the decimal point) would be quite sufficient. - Comment on North Korea decries 'illegal' joint NATO declaration 3 months ago:
While I understand what you’re saying about the Korean War, this is a simple statement of fact accusing North Korea of lending aid to Russia, who is the aggressor in the first major land war in Europe since WW2.
NATO is not escalating. They’re calling NK out for making the situation worse.
