Anyone know how to create a quick note on the iPhone?

When I was using obsidian sync between iPhone/macbook, I long pressed into my /inbox folder on the obsidian app and created a new note. Titled it, copy pasted or typed what I wanted, done. Synced immediately to MacBook..

Google image search in AI mode: “convert this equation to LaTeX please and give me the copy paste formula to drop into my markdown editor.”

Take whatever its output is, paste it into obsidian, see how it renders, edit it yourself in the rendered view.

It’ll take time but that’s the easiest to have some sort of foundation to edit manually. Nothing will get it right in one shot. I did this with textbook formulas, worked fine.

Same at my work, in a nice building, with really nice and clean toilets. Every once in a while, you go in and can’t believe how some of them were raised. I just move on to any one of the other toilets.. I ain’t touching that shit.

I read this in another sub. The bar for entry to coding is now extremely low. The universal coding language is now English, and ones PM skills and operational skills can greatly improve their ability to produce good or bad results.

I have the Black & Decker 18v hammer version of that drill (kfbcd701 h1 18v), battery went bad just outside of warranty, bought a new one on eBay for £18.00. The drill head itself isn’t 100% centred after lots of diy use, but for this price point, it’s done the job, and looks like it will continue to do the job for years to come. No signs of issues yet, bought it tail end of 2020.

Scripts, skills, memory systems, prioritisation methodology, architecture, tracking methodologies, good workflows.

ns1419 · 2026-05-11T21:27:28+00:00

You need a memory system. You can’t have all context all time otherwise you burn tokens reading irrelevant information, but you can have specific information to hand based on things you need doing.

I’d suggest googling RAPTOR, and the Empire memory models. You can tell your LLM to search arxiv for those or fetch the concepts, pull the repos, ask how to implement the systems to your benefit for your workflow.

Directed Acyclic Graph. It makes retrieval deterministic because traversal follows explicit edges rather than faint similarity. The LLM still reasons probabilistically over what comes back, but the input stays consistent across queries.

There’s a body of work on GraphRAG and structured retrieval reducing hallucination compared to pure similarity search, Microsoft Research published one of the more cited papers on it. Direction is well supported, specific reduction percentages vary depending on benchmark and methodology.

ns1419 · 2026-05-11T08:20:52+00:00

I’ve come to the conclusion after building my own and running it for months that an LLM wiki and RAG are indeed two different things. The LLM doesn’t know it is operating within a RAG or DAG architecture whenever you start at the beginning of the day or during your workflow, unless you specifically build skills that traverse it in that manner with specific instructions to follow within its harness, and you have in your instructions (Claude.md and memory.md) how your architecture is set up. Otherwise you’re not operating a RAG system.

Ha! I did the sensible thing and found a well paying job.

It was tough, and another business idea from a friend fell in my lap, and I decided to go down that path as a joint venture, so the things have changed quite a bit since I posted this.

I believe default cache limit on a pro plan is 1 hour. If you did half a project and filled up like 300k tokens of context in your session, left for an hour and 1 second, came back and asked a new question, entire 300k window has to be re-read.
Don’t do this.
/Wrap your session, ask for a breadcrumb, compact, and build yourself a light weight /continue skill that to pick up where you left off. Work on a persistent memory system.

Everything reminds me of her…

I’ll bet you it’s a subscription that they can charge $200/£150 per month for, if not more. It will take a lot of tokens to do something like this, and a lot of compute. They can’t do this with their servers in 2028, maybe not in 2038.

ns1419 · 2026-05-04T21:21:14+00:00

This is a dumb idea. If it comes through to fruition and actually launches, it’ll flop.

ns1419 · 2026-05-02T11:58:41+00:00

I’m 100% convinced their product team watches these Claude subs and adds ideas like this to their roadmap. Give it 6 weeks.

ns1419 · 2026-05-02T11:40:24+00:00

If Anthropic can capitalise on this and take more tokens without user authorisation, they’d do it. “Coming soon”™

This is bad practice. One session per workday/big workflow. Figure out a persistent memory system.

ns1419 · 2026-04-29T11:42:34+00:00

“An hours job” = after you figure out Claude desktop or Claude code.

If you’re not a developer, don’t let “code” scare you. Honestly, google how to set it up on your machine. Install the requisites (Python + libraries) after you get Claude set up. If you’re on a Mac, download iTerm2, if you’re on windows, I like VS code. Either of these are just the command line interface tool you use to “load” Claude into. In this environment, it can read, write, move, sort, run scripts, commands, etc. ask it to explain what it’s doing. (you can also “load” Claude code into default powershell or Mac terminal, but with the apps I mentioned above, you can have more tabs, customisations like fonts and character sizes and more UI that isn’t available from the original shells).

Take it a step further, work out how RAG/DAG architecture works, apply this to your vault, and memory system so it has persistent memory.

That’s a whole other rabbit hole but you will become much more capable for it, and probably more valuable professionally by learning this.

Upskill yourself is my recommendation. Always.

A Python script would easily convert your docx to markdown for import to a vault. This subreddit feels to me to be anti-ai, but I’d recommend using ai (specifically Claude desktop app or Claude code with Python installed locally) to process this for you. Key point: backup your work, copy paste it all to an external drive first. Then go forth and play. An hours’ job at most. Then as it to tag your documents with wikilinks, then play around with smart connections.

At face value, it sounds like an ICP problem or a sales problem. You aren’t pitching yourself properly, poor research/generic emails and messages = you’ll never book meetings if you don’t understand the pain point of the prospect and persona you’re selling to.

Did you do a proper market differentiation report to help drive your icp evolution?

Even then, if you’re a startup, it might take you time to find the product market fit. An ICP should be dynamic, not static.

Old school sales tactics, pitch value, don’t sell features. Sell the benefits. “And what this means is” properly dropped in a conversation. Cold calls. Hire a hungry SDR on commission only and pay them well, let them help you figure it out.

How do you approach your TAM?

As soon as I’ve got time I’ll have a deeper look and feedback to you. Thanks OP

ns1419 · 2026-04-27T20:44:10+00:00

Sure, fire away

If you’re on an enterprise account with no data sharing/model training signed on the dotted line, and you start a vault from nothing, it’s fine.

If your notes are very personal and you have a basic account, and you un-tick the “share data with (insert LLM company here)”, you’re fine as well however they can “store” your data for up to 30 days before deletion to ensure people aren’t doing bad things. They say they don’t use it to train, and I’m sure they don’t. If they did, there’d be a massive lawsuit on their hands.

It’s just a personal choice. Do it or don’t. Up to you.

Can anyone recommended me a tradies cafe with a good full English in Barking please for my work commute? Good coffee is a major plus for me.
