    Is Obsidian Slow on the iPad?

    by

    Recently I engaged in a short discussion with Chris Lawley on Mastodon about Obsidian feeling really slow on my iPad. In short, I’ve been using my iPad less because Obsidian has been slow. I’ve been unable to scroll on notes and typing is possible, but painful. This doesn’t feel like it should happen on an…

  • The Only Useful LLM Feature I’ve Seen

    by

    Casey Newton talked about how Notion Ai (it’s really LLM and calling it Ai feeds into the hype) will look at your data and let you extract content from it. So far this is the only thing in the current LLM/Ai hype-cycle that I’ve found compelling. I’d love to ask some questions about my notes…

  • A Lot of People have Benefitted from Associating Luddism with Techphobia

    by

    From A Working Library: A lot of people have benefited from the association of Luddism with irrational technophobia. But maybe instead of avoiding the specter of Luddism we should reclaim it. Asking good questions about how a technology will impact people isn’t unreasonable and it isn’t irrational; it’s right and appropriate and necessary. Blood in…
