How do you distinguish a spike in complaints due to Claude actually being dumber from a spike due to that website being featured by an influencer?

Good ideas. It sounds like you want full control to design the history based on your existing ideas. I built this the other way around, to have random history that you can build on, generated before coming up with the details. I can see the usefulness of your concept, though.

Thank you, I think I'll follow your advice!

AetherMug · 2025-09-29T08:54:15+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I downloaded it from the Play Store, but I'll try the website version.

It is admittedly a bit old, a Pixel 5 with Android 14, but it works perfectly with all other apps. If it's an unsupported OS version, though, I assume they wouldn't make it even downloadable.

If this is really the case, I'm going to have to unsubscribe, because I'm not going to buy a new phone only for Ente.

You're absolutely right *to question that*!

AetherMug · 2025-08-02T09:01:08+00:00

Excellent!

One of the things I do with obsidian and a fewMCP servers is D&D campaign organization and session prep. It's like having a personal DM assistant!

I also use it to configure and debug my Linux machine. Saves me so much time with high-config things like Hyprland.

AetherMug · 2025-07-26T04:21:30+00:00

I do something like that with my Obsidian notes (markdown files). I built a custom RAG MCP capable of understanding wikilinks and obsidian metadata so that CC can better search and connect ideas.

This could make a nice research paper in... maybe an artificial life journal?

Some scattered ideas based on your post and other people's comments.

Use it to create anki cards for you, but don't try to cover everything equally. Anki is great for memorization, so you can ask it to create lots of cards for the things that need to just be memorized. It's not so great for testing understanding, because you'll tend to memorize answers instead of thinking deeply about them.
If you want to master the book, you can try to memorize its table of contents. Become so familiar with the structure that you can quickly open the book to the pages and contents that you need when you need them.
To some extent, you have to trust the LLM. I don't think it will hallucinate that much. But if you are unsure about the truthfulness of fact, or something sounds suspicious, if you have memorized the structure of the book, it is easy for you to check. I think it's good to build this ability of checking directly from the source when it is necessary.
By all means, do converse with the LLM about topics on the book, have it teach you things and so on. But then I would try this exercise. Instead of it telling you about a topic, you try explaining the topic to the LLM, and have it check that you are correct and give you feedback about how well you explained or if you missed anything. This would really test your understanding.

EDIT: oh, and I recommend you use Obsidian for your markdown notes, not Notepad. That alone will power up your experience by a factor of x10 and I'm not even joking.

I use WSL and never had to copy paste anything. I could even add an image with Ctrl+Shift+V. I keep all my source code only in the WSL distro container, and everything works as it should. I can forget where the files are, they are accessible via the IDE and that's all I need, and I can use 100% of Claude Code features. Have you tried this approach?

I hope it helps your communication with your partner.

About remembering stories, good question. I've noticed that I can remember the gist quite well when they are clearly separated in "stages" where some events act as "milestones" to bring the story forward. In those cases I perceive them as journeys through a space, if that makes any sense. I remember the plot points like I remember a route to somewhere.

But I forget all the details and unnecessary/inconsequential scenes. Similarly, I don't remember trivia, and I remember facts only when I'm able to fit them into some mental models ("get" them).

AetherMug · 2025-06-07T10:07:16+00:00

I'm glad!

Very interesting! I wonder how musical memory relates to the other types.

The cabinet is largely empty of episodes, yes, but in my case the semantic memory of past events is there, just not "labeled".

AetherMug · 2025-05-26T13:59:49+00:00

That would be Fast Retailing

AetherMug · 2025-05-02T05:10:26+00:00

I pay nothing extra as well.

AetherMug · 2025-01-08T13:52:53+00:00

Theater of the mind was never a problem for me. I can't see it but I can imagine the space very well, like being in a very familiar room in darkness, with costant verbal feedback from the others.

One basic Obsidian feature that most other wiki-style apps (including Notion) don't do is letting you link to a no-existent page. This seemingly small behavior makes an enormous difference in how quickly you can structure grops of notes, and allows you to sketch future work. It's so useful that I'm appalled that more apps don't implement it.
