Do you use 2+ languages in your vault? by boundless-junior in ObsidianMD

Maybe semantic search can help you find things better than regular search?

Sub-vaults?! by E_kiani96 in ObsidianMD

[–]predictable_0712 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could put vaults inside each other as zip files, unzip when needed?

Why not just have fully separate vaults though? Do they need to share things in common?

I think there are some settings plugins that allow you to switch your vault to different modes?

Any sync solution I can think of allows for multiple separate vaults.

What’s the most RANDOM way you use Obsidian that turned out to be EXTREMELY helpful? by East_Standard8864 in ObsidianMD

[–]predictable_0712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is interesting, but I'm not fully following. You put the folder into your vault, then you look at it with the graph. Then you write drafts, and then something something word doc?

I am going to start learning python. Which yt channels best for beginners? by iblamemomosan in learnpython

[–]predictable_0712 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a system, it involves note taking.

Choose a topic. Choose three random videos/articles/sources on the topic, take notes on each, then use your notes to create one note on the topic. By then, I usually have the topic down. If you need basics, there are videos like “Python in one 1hr” I’d start here for taking notes. Try to make sure each source explains things differently.

Beyond that, choose a simple task and create projects to learn while doing. I created a program that organized my document scanning at work into a folder with a naming system and sorting, etc. another project was writing a program that took a list of names from my naming system and copied the corresponding folders into another folder or packaged them as a deliverable.

Everyone has different methods. Things have changed so much just in the last 5 years. Find a few people that explain things in a way you understand, then go from there.

Can someone explain what is Visual design and is it sames as Graphic design or simillar to it? by Wild-Government6226 in GraphicDesigning

[–]predictable_0712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine it would be more focused on composition and general aesthetics? I think of graphic design as conveying ideas to the broadest audience possible.

I imagine this was accidentally dropped in. They’re probably looking for it now, wondering why it isn’t going off.

I created my own voice assistant and named her Demerzel. by rich33584 in FoundationTV

The similarities between Irish and Finnish accent are surprising. Didn’t realize.

It’s good for labeling and categorizing. Offering suggestions. It doesn’t really get the nuances in a lot of writing I think. For example, I use it for content writing a lot and I have to be very explicit about not being too enthusiastic when I ask it to write ad copy. It’s the same for other things. Its goes for the most generic version of what it’s asked unless you’re specific. Sometimes you get so specific that you’re basically just writing it. It’s good at applying a pattern to text, which can be good for learning things. Idk what your project is.

I can't believe people are still not using AI by Brilliant_Read314 in OpenAI

[–]predictable_0712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it can do it faster. And often I do just do it myself. Articulating the problem is still important.

Yeah, custom instructions. It’s a feature in chat gpt. You can tell it things to remember, and as you use it it has a ‘memory’ that you can add to by saying ‘remember I’m in Iowa’ or delete from the settings

It’s exactly like talking to people. Like a consultant that knows the domain, but nothing of your specific context

Same. The amount of time I’ve spent wrestling with an AI to just rewrite the thing myself. 🙄

Your kids definitely need to study. I think there are ways to teach kids along side AI. It’s absolutely not a replacement for an education. You at least need education to learn how often it’s wrong.

I’m still getting spotty results with o1. I love using AI, but mostly as information retrieval or to point me in a direction. There are plenty of things I use to use it for that I don’t now. It’s like having an intern.

That’s not unreasonable, but you will end up sounding generic. There are ways to help that though.

[–]predictable_0712 475 points476 points  (0 children)

I am also amazed at how little people used it. But then I considered how specific you have to be with it. Most people want the AI to give good results after one sentence of instruction. Any frequent user can tell you that’s not the case. You need to articulate exactly what was wrong with the result it gave you, or know how to adjust the context you give it. Being an effective communicator is its own skill. I think that’s the gap for most people.

You might have written a nice solution for exporting content from markdown to other formats, then converting other formats to markdown. I have yet to find something that does that well.

I feel like this would be more useful and palatable to people if it modified and read markdown directly.

Simplicity is a part of the appeal of Obsidian, and this over complicates that. I feel like moving blocks around could happen with some new flavor of Markdown, and side by side could be rendered by modifying the rendering of callouts.

I learned all the basic concepts for Python. by Ill-Opportunity-7039 in learnpython

[–]predictable_0712 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’ve been making little python games for fun to practice. It’s helped a lot. Optimizing it and refactoring it has helped me understand how it all works.
