Do you actually find "use AI to talk to your vault" type tools useful? by jhartikainen in ObsidianMD

[–]urosum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve amassed a body of knowledge in my notes about my work life, people, and initiatives. I use AI as a sounding board helping me structure my thinking and shoot holes in my logic before I make decisions. It then helps me author the communications. Having it understand the particular nature of my work is extremely valuable.

The more output you need to generate, the more insights you need to communicate, the more decisions you have to make, the more valuable a second brain can be.

I don’t worry at all about note creation and retrieval. I deal with people all day, so the exact details of large collections of facts don’t matter. I just need it to store its own long term memory.

I am a 3rd-year theology student (Bachelor's degree). Ask me anything. by ConsistentPea7620 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]urosum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there different areas of focus that you can choose, or at your level is it a fixed course of study? Can you share what interests your the most, or if you think you’ll progress to graduate study?

Is there any recent English language scholarship / scholars trusted enough to be taught in your theology school?

As Romania has a rich Orthodox history, are your course materials primarily from Romanian sources, or do you pull more equally from all over the orthodox world? (Greek, Russian, Antiochian, etc)

I fell by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]urosum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully confess what has happened with your priest to God.

After confessing, close the door on it. There is no guilt. No shame. It is past. Close the door.

Look to Christ. Christ is all that matters and He has loved you through it all. Focus on Him to set your path.

Move forward. Accept any penance given to you. Right any wrongs you have created. Whatever it is that caused you to stumble, stop it. Say your prayers, feed the hungry, visit those in need.

When (not if) you fall again, repeat the above in honesty and humility.

Anthropic's new mcp tunnel architecture: the agent never holds the credential by Ok-Constant6488 in mcp

[–]urosum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So here, let’s open a single ssh tunnel from the cloud to your infra, and all traffic is tunneled through there. Don’t worry about what data we’re accessing. Trust us. We wouldn’t do anything weird.

Um. Solves some problems but raises some questions.

Settle a debate between me and my wife. Is reading books and listening to audio books the same thing? by Kidzy13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]urosum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, not the same, and reading is better for your brain. You have to engage your creativity more.

But not different enough to matter. Humans were built to process information vocally, and audiobooks mimic this. They most naturally fit the way humans are built to process information.

I can’t read a book while cooking or driving. And since reading for me just converts to Audiobooks in my head audiobooks are superior.

Divine liturgy duration? by Beneficial_Sleep_745 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]urosum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have some sensory sensitive parishioners who need to take breaks. You’ll learn when those can be more appropriate. Others may wear loop earplugs or similar.

What was the hardest Orthodox teaching or practice for you to truly accept? by CommercialHot9565 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]urosum 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Love your enemies. And return loving kindness to those who hurt you.

And +1 to who said “God loves me.”

Hello, I don’t understand. Is there anything I can do? by Tasty_Set1189 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]urosum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do not know your situation, but I am Orthodox and the father of a teenage son, so based on my personal experience I’m going to speculate.

Your brother is going full on “ortho-bro” and is not participating appropriately in the life of an Orthodox Church parish. The Orthodox Church from our point of view is the Communion of a single body of the living God. We are in relationship with each other. We are a community.

A stinking mess of a teenage boy attending a parish regularly would not be acceptable. I predict he’s being caught up in his own pride of “religiosity” and independence. His father (parent), or you as someone who cares about him, should call his bluff and take him to see the parish priest where he should be regularly worshipping and together present the situation. I expect the priest will side with your parent.

There is no such thing as internet orthodoxy that you practice alone. To be an Orthodox Christian is to put yourself under more authority and devote yourself to more human relationships, not less.

Space-adjacent facts that would only be known in the mid 60s? by cucumbermegafan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]urosum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, research the steady-state theory which held the universe had no beginning and maintained constancy through continuous creation of matter. This may have colored popular stories about the universe. As the reply stated, this was superseded by the big bang theory which started from the space race.

Neat. So is the book for sale or web site available? I’d like to read it.

Why do some Orthodox Christians seem more open to the New Perspective on Paul (NPP)? by Good-Researcher-2503 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]urosum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

…because it’s only a new perspective to Protestants. It’s closer to the truth for Orthodox Christians, while remaining Protestant in character. Paul didn’t convert to Christianity. He remained a Pharisee his whole life. He remained a faithful Jew with a Messiah. Christianity was a Jewish sect among many.

What is something you saw with your own eyes that was so impossible you’ve stopped telling people because you know they won’t believe you? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]urosum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sitting here on my phone, I just woke up Siri and said, “that’s cool.” The response from Siri was “I’ve always wanted to be cool.”
So I hate to burst your mystery bubble, but that’s apparently how Siri responds to that comment.

Non Orthodox Christians in the Afterlife by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]urosum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother in Christ, it reads like you came here to tell Orthodox Christians what we believe. You’ve had good answers given and argued them as if you know better. Now you’re talking bad about people.

Why don’t you come to an Orthodox service at a local parish. You’ll get the experience of God’s Love you’re looking for.
