Same, I have a similar setup. A mix of Obsidian, Cursor (for md), and vibe-coded web terminals as front-end.

Since I do a podcast, the number/diversity of research interests is very large. But the knowledge-base approach has been working great.

For answers, I often have it generate dynamic html (with js) that allows me to sort/filter data and to tinker with visualizations interactively.

Another useful thing is I have the system generate a temporary focused mini-knowledge-base for a particular topic that I then load into an LLM for voice-mode interaction on a long 7-10 mile run. So it becomes an interactive podcast while I run, where I ask it questions and listen to the answers to learn more.

Anyway, heading out for a run now, thanks for the write-up 👊

Matt Damon says Netflix wants movies to restate "the plot three or four times in the dialogue" to account for viewers being on their phones:

“The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces. One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third,” Damon explained. “You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”

When NFL linemen, “the big fellas” (usually 300–350 lbs) get the ball in their hands, it instantly becomes the highlight of their career. For a few seconds, they turn into running backs 😂 https://t.co/Hl4zn2SKSB

Yesterday's Lyft driver was crazy. Rolled up in a suit.

He had a diy cage so you don't mess with him. Made out of plexiglass.

Then the car was being recorded on the inside. I didn't even feel comfortable moving lmao

The first Narnia book was published in 1950 - 75 years ago
The first Doors album was released in 1967 - almost 60 years ago

This, then, is indeed “grandmother’s Narnia”. And “grandmother” exists in a state of perpetual, perennial youth, sneering at the accomplishments of her forebearers, doing all she can to undermine them… all from the smug, safe, cosy cocoon of her place at the centre of the universe, being whispered sweet nothings to by The Television, assured of her rightness, assured of her importance…. where she has always existed and always will….

…until finally she departs this realm, to begin what C S Lewis called, “the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
