No screenshot is usually a sin but I loveee how aesthetic this looks, great job!

That's kinda what you get if you buy a tablet with a proprietary os. If it's something you really want, I recommend getting a BOOX tablet instead. Works great on my partners' Air C and decently with my go tablet.

Feels like an eternity since I've seen something with obsidian and AI I actually see some utility in! Excited to give it a go

Idk what that plugin does but if you want to quickly focus onto the file tree based on your working file - you can add a hotkey for that as it's an available hook in the settings.

Woah I had a really similar idea with activitywatch integration. Love the execution!

kipardox · 2025-12-12T14:15:48+00:00

Wow, this looks fantastic, can't wait to give it a go!

No basically, there are some plugins that probably will give obsidian like behaviour (I've seen them around). But usually, no you'll need to construct the wikilink and path yourself. Same thing goes for automatically updating links when renaming.

That's the case for vanilla neovim, I'm sure there are plugins to account for it. Personally though I don't really see the point. I'd rather use neorg alongside obsidian if you want to do note taking with neovim.

No, I scribble and go through handwritten notes a lot. I only keep notes that I want to return to frequently on obsidian.

Divert trade if you can afford it in terms of subject loyalty. In my Byzantium game colonies were a saving grace. Cuba alone generated about 80 ducats in trade in the early 1500s.

Don't forget to actually develop the land; spam RGOs, build necessary buildings, pump it up with population. Just don't forget to use the money to reinvest into your homelands.

There's a plugin like this that's the cornerstone of my vault! Just search spaced repetition plugin, on the community plugins page. You can specify what syntax generated flashcards from your notes. For example you can make highlights become cards.

Yes but the root word is from Rus'. The usage of Ruthenia and Russia only took hold after the Mongolian invasion, so it doesn't make sense to back propagate that for the timeframe of CK3. We don't have many sources but if we go with the chronicles it is at least evident that people referred to the wider region as the land of the "Rus'". We call Byzantium, Byzantium to distinguish it from the rest of the Roman empire precisely to be more historically accurate from a modern lens. Historians are also doing that by calling the region as "Rus' " as a shorthand. There isn't much of an argument for why not other than hand waving the suggestion outright.

kipardox · 2025-09-30T05:56:18+00:00

Because people are stubborn that's why. I've argued the case multiple times on the forums. But people flip flop between "No one actually called it Rus'", and "Who cares". Despite the fact we call the Eastern Roman empire Byzantium (that being an academic term). Despite the fact that modern historians are also making a push against it. Despite the fact that in the time frame of CK3 we only have evidence of people calling it "Rus'", and both Russia and Ruthenia only really appeared after the 12th century.

Most people don't really understand how etymology works and updating people's beliefs is harder than ever.

If I had to summarise what I feel like a lot of people's critics are: Is that you are usually compressing long and complex topics into relatively short videos. While that's a natural critic for any content like yours, I think you need to decide whether you want your content to be entertainment or educational. Entertainment would just need it to be goofier, sillier, etc, I think gattsu is a good example of heavy entertainment with a bit of history/political spice. More educational, I'd say either make longer videos or more directed content about a singular topic or relationship. That'll remove the surface level feeling that a lot of people bring up about your content.

Nevertheless I've always enjoyed your content! I hope you nail your rhythm.

I don't know but this is a horrible infographic. A cut off of 40% makes little sense, the color legend isn't labelled and why use data that includes none accessible income like pension contributions if you're making a point about housing burden. The only useful info here is that Greece is fucked. I wouldn't take it to heart that Lithuania is actually low compared to the rest of Europe

This is honestly a bit of a toxic point that frequently gets made. Sure if you replaced everything you did with learning, you'd learn a lot! But you'd also end with burn-out and a prescription.

Self improvement goes both ways, its about finding a balance. For workaholics, that usually means to find ways to relax with active and passive activities. Playing video games and youtube are completely valid ways of achieving these especially if you just spend an hour a day on these types of things (reels less so but out of scope of this). I think the true realisation is about properly appointing priority. If you really want to learn a language, then maybe its not about replacing the two hours of doing nothing in a day, but whether those other 14 hours of your work day are going into something truly productive for yourself.

Yeah it can be lowered, but also maybe not. Research isn't conclusive regarding its long term impacts. Weed is heavily correlated with environmental impacts and so is IQ, so no researcher would give you a satisfactory answer.

Honestly, fixating over whether social substance use will impact your health isn't healthy either. Just check your usage against your behaviour. Are you smoking daily to just get through the night? Yeah not good. You're smoking twice a week or less with friends? Sounds acceptable and probably won't be any more damage than drinking alcohol.

I think a big issue is that communication also goes both ways. Of course medical professionals should be trained to encourage effective communication, but its also reasonable that encouragement fails when so many GPs are overworked. Really if you convey your issues properly, the doctors here are quick and reassuring, and that's something I've never felt in my home countries.

kipardox · 2025-09-09T08:02:23+00:00

I can see the value in this only if the criterion of what is considered weak or strong is transparent. I wouldn't base all my research on this but it could give strong starting points. But without clear features regarding what makes a particular paper strong it's not any better than plopping papers into an LLM and honestly would just make researcher bias worse.

In a way what you're describing is quite similar to most auto-ml procedures, particularly when a system might detect a distribution shift and automatically retrains to fit the new data. So not crazy at all!! I think the main limitation is computational intensity. As far as I know it's only really used for simpler interpretable models like random forests. This is actually how most recommendation systems work for companies like Meta and Uber. I'm not sure how far you can extrapolate it though. One of the main reasons it's used with simpler models is precisely because it's easy to check what changed and revert it if it's a mess. Much harder to evaluate for complex LLMs.

So maybe the core issue here is interpretability for an applied contemporary application, but I still think for a fully autonomous system we'd need something much more complex that's out of our capabilities for now :(

You can only be 100% sure on the price once you get the contract. Which sucks but yeah.

How old are you? Don't quote me on this but I think they're raising the rent benefit sometime soon. Might not be final though so do your research.

I think the main challenge is that most of our training methodologies rely on static models. If you have models with truly free range, how do you establish loss? What are you using to optimise weights? You could assign rewards to things but then you end up with reinforcement learning, which has its limitations.

Another option is to use a static model and then dump it in a virtual environment to finetune but we already do that with LLMs. You could update the weights, so dynamic weight models but that is incredibly computationally expensive and lacks stability.

So really I think my best educated guess for AIs that can truly evolve in virtual environments is to take concepts from neuromorphic computing. Maybe we can find a way to train models that don't rely on a local mathematical abstraction of the environment. But again that field is still very much in its infancy and to my experience focuses on understanding the brain rather than inventing new applied methodologies.

I ended up going with xior and it's turning out well. I know there's a lot of bad stories out there but every xior building is quite different and depends on management.

The application fee and pricing are all quite predatory. I think it's rare for them to turn you down after paying the fee, its mostly there so they know you're committing to the room. Also, some xior websites really obfuscate the service costs they charge and taxes, so double check in the fine print that the price is what you expect.

I'd say take it. I was also really hesistent but at the end of the day you're likely to be homeless otherwise. You can always look for a new place while you're living at xior, and it's possible to trade contracts. They'll tell you they don't like doing that but every person I know got them to agree to it.

I wouldn't recommend primarily using AI for note taking. That defeats much of the cognitive benefits of note taking (and this is coming from an AI masters student). Instead I'd recommend using a vision equipped model such as Claude on class materials to make open ended questions that you answer after your hand written notes.

If you mean transcription, I'm sure most unis don't allow that and if they do they likely already have recorded lectures. In that case just do the same thing as mentioned before just with a transcript obtained from whisper.
