<p>My father was 76 and started to forget things, basic things like what he did yesterday, who we met the week before (family from overseas who we haven’t seen in years)…<p>This is when I realised it was getting serious. But he’s a Norwegian born in the 40s, so talking about his mental health and opening up to him is near impossible.<p>I did call him out on these massive lapses in memory, but jokingly though.<p>However, without formally addressing anything, he started out of no where and never, ever before doing it my entire life: sudoku.<p>1-2 hours a day, then more, all the time.<p>He’s now in his mid 80s and as sharp as ever.<p>I know he went and saw a GP, and they prescribed sodoku.<p>But the effectiveness of it, taken seriously, is absolutely incredible.</p>

<p>I think you answered my question, although indirectly. I thought there was competing standards (if that's even the right word, I don't know) for note-taking.<p>YAML is more for configuration and meta-data, so my original question didn't make a lot of sense.<p>You've helped clear my confusions so for that, thanks so much!<p>As for Obsidian, I just wasn't super keen having a whole extra app just for my note-taking. I like simple Notepad++ (or Geany, now that I'm moved to nix), as it can work on any files, not just text/MD/note docs.</p>

<p>I've used, Evernote and yes it was okay, until I realised I do not want my data out there in the wild. This was maybe back in 2015.<p>Since then, I use Notepad++ for everything. Save things here and there and it's really unorganized. I feel shame because I am actually a mega-organised person...<p>So... I tried Obsidian. Wasn't my tempo.<p>Now I am at organising my notes by text file by the following format:
/Notes/Year/Month/Y-m-d.txt<p>I am seeing myself naturally moving towards Marking-Down my notes, which I like. But it brings me to the question: which is better to use for future use-cases in terms of software and tooling?</p>

<p>Has anyone checked out Fox News recently? There is zero, and I mean zero coverage of the implications of the tariffs. W.T.F. At what point do you go “okay, we’re actually on par with North Korea”?</p>

<p>I do think that’s a massive factor. I hate to generalise as is a massively complex issue but I do feel most young men online are angry that they aren’t getting more interactions with women. Technology hasn’t helped that at all. I’m wondering if there’s a way to try reverse that. Education is obviously key but it popular and accepted is super hard</p>

<p>I shouldn’t have even mentioned woke to be honest. I’m a liberal but there’s loads of things I’m conservative about. What I think can bring everyone together is to teach kids to respect one another. That’s what’s missing online: common decency and respect. Sure that’s something that’s likely never going to be solved, but I’d love some way to combat the spread/reach of misogyny especially among kids who have no idea what they’re wading into</p>

<p>I really fear I might have messed up my chance to get people to view my post. I originally posted as SHOW HN, but really I want to ask. This was my original post:<p>I'm an anon that's made enough to retire, relatively young.<p>But, I still suffer very badly from anxiety and depression (it runs deep in the family. Most of my childhood was in phyc wards with my mum).<p>I'm an alcoholic and a somewhat drug user, which is how I cope, along with SSRIs.<p>However, I have made an effort to document my highs with free-style Photoshop. It's cathartic and even when I'm sober I appreciate it, a lot. Like it was from a different person.<p>I am very naive about this, but is my art anything special, or is it run-of-the-mill garbage?<p>I'm not an artist, have no links to that world, nor am I schooled in it, so would love any feedback from anyone who is.<p>My site is https://heighart.com/ and it's half-built. I will build it out more with my full collection eventually, I just keep changing my mind on the UI/UX.</p>

I failed to mention the reason I say I am able to retire, is because I don't want any monetary benefit from my work, I am NOT trying to promote it. I am just curious if anyone else will appreciate it.</p>

<p>I moved to GoDot, which has been surprisingly decent. The risk of the policy and price changes, along with a genuine curiosity of the progress of GoDot was the reason for the move.</p>

<p>Installing was okay, but it was not running on any of the sample files I had. This is the output I got:<p>UserWarning: You are using a softmax over axis 3 of a tensor of shape (1, 8, 1, 1). This axis has size 1. The softmax operation will always return the value 1, which is likely not what you intended. Did you mean to use a sigmoid instead?
