you REALLY need to start working on your own local models, no not because your 4080 on a pi harness with qwen 3.8 will be mediocre today, but because in a year when OpenAI and Anthropic have fully enshittified there will be NO regulations and they'll have your chestnuts in a vice and you'll be glad you can tell them to rm -rf

til: ≥(1/3)==lot

If it isn't a lot then you'd accept a 1/3 reduction in your pay, right? Like if it was for an objectively good cause that you support?

lol was thinking the exact same, named some ML projects Jeeves along the way...

I've been reading the theoretical papers on Wi-Fi as a tracking system (https://publikationen.bibliothek.kit.edu/1000185756) but dang now Comcast is actually selling this?!?! And people believe this is a good idea?!?

Here's an article that explains it in a way more understandable for f&f: https://www.core77.com/posts/145192/How-Wi-Fi-Can-Track-Your...

Wonder if Flock is starting a wifi router business...

It's part of the Plume mesh wifi platform. If you get them from any ISP, you can enable this in the app.

very interesting thought experiment here. I wonder how much it would take in a monthly subscription to offset the money they make in ads? picturing an Instagram without drivel and the crap and the manipulative behavior, that I would pay for simply to escape for 15 minutes. Curate the good content, heck create AI content I don't care I'm there to just mentally check out for a bit. Time lock it based on my prefs so that it respects me as a human being, doesn't try to feed off of me as a data source and I'll pay for that. I agree with you why is no one doing this? I can hear an argument about economies of scale, that it's just not worth the hassle, big guys too entrenched, but isn't that what we're all here to do... create new ways to disrupt?!?

If you pay a premium price, you're an even more interesting target for others premium brands, so the best target for advertisers. And they are too greedy to leave you alone.

very nice response idle_zealot, it's this level of human decency in comments that keeps me coming back to HN

same — that was an unexpected little moment on HN. Honestly appreciated the answer as it caused me to stop and examine the phrase I've been using/hearing without never really thinking about it.

I'm gdam sick of hearing about BBEdit updates and new features, I swear it's almost enough to make me buy another Mac just to get this amazing godlike editor back again, fk I miss it so bad... quit torturing me BareBones

would be inclined to use it just to flex that name "yeah I built this in Zero Gravity..."

Haha exactly! 'yeah, no IDE installed, just coding in zero gravity.' I might actually have to rebrand it this weekend then.

Two structural reasons. 1. Obsidian is a single-user editor. It does not have the concept of "agent A drafted this, agent B promoted it, the team approved it." The promotion flow needs a state machine that lives outside the editor. a plugin can simulate it but the source-of-truth has to be a process the agents talk to instead of a vault file. 2. Agents need an MCP surface. An Obsidian plugin API won't do. /lookup, entity_fact_record, notebook_write, and team_wiki_promote are MCP tools the agent runtimes call directly. Obsidian's plugin API targets human users and the Electron app. You would be reimplementing the MCP layer to bridge. Practical compatibility: you can absolutely point Obsidian at ~/.wuphf/wiki/ and use it as a vault (we got someone from our Reddit post do this). Obsidian can be reader while WUPHF stays the writer.

He presumably wanted the result to be good.

what plugin are you using?

srsly tho this looks slick & love the office refs / will go play with it :)

Awesome, let us know if there's any features you want/bugs you hit :)

I think this is a great way to frame the conversation and possible solution: reputation. things like accumulated karma or credits and IRL connections (big data will love this) all begin to feel dystopian whereas reputation I believe is something that everybody can get behind. It can absolutely remain anonymous, while still benefiting from IRL meetups for big reputation bumps (just use your handle). We all hang out in lots of places online, let that rep build and be used everywhere. Pretty sure they were trying to do something like this in the fedverse but haven't touched base on it in a long time ...
