Yeah, and the lesson is ... don't be a turkey :D

It's not a certainty, but if you're not prepared for an extreme event, it can be ouch.

Every morning the turkey rejoiced and said to himself "oh joy, I'm such a lucky turkey, I don't have to do anything, the food is plentiful, I just eat and shoot the breeze the whole day long, what an awesome life!" Until one morning, the day before thanksgiving, the turkey rejoiced about the awesome day he's about to have ... just to be picked up 5 minutes later and dragged to the slaughterhouse.

Remember when Reddit sold to Conde Nast for peanuts because Digg was going to win? :D

New comment by intellectronica in "MDBaseQuery – Query MD/Frontmatter Bases (Obsidian-Compatible) with Headless CLI"

intellectronica — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 11:33:28 +0000

We still don't have a proper headless CLI for Obsidian, but with the files being Markdown with Bases implemented using YAML Frontmatter, this CLI solves the main thing missing for working with your Obsidian vault on a headless server (for example, with your agent).

New comment by intellectronica in "Pope tells priests to use their brains, not AI, to write homilies"

intellectronica — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:06:02 +0000

Thanks for clarifying. I can see the point. Would a phrasing like "The pope believes in and promotes supernatural claims that are not supported by evidence" work better? On reflection I would have preferred that too.

I'll accept your perspective and try to learn from it.

However I think that the comment is relevant, and you can see from the replies gathered before it was flagged that it did spark a relevant discussion.

Reminding that the speaker is a spiritual leader and not an authority on the use of technology is not a sneer and and not an ideological statement. In any context other than religion, which I understand is sensitive, a statement of that sort would be considered a contribution to the discussion, not an ideological battle. And that's precisely the problem - censoring a discussion about the relevance of religion to the matter is the ideological act.

New comment by intellectronica in "Instagram boss says 16 hours of daily use is 'problematic' not addiction"

intellectronica — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 07:12:59 +0000

Technically correct. We can't call every compulsive behaviour "addiction". Using a social app for 16 hours a day is a very serious problem and requires treatment. But it's not addiction in the same sense that other commonly-recognised addictions to substance and even behaviours are.

Yes, for MCP servers there's still no good standard. Ruler helps with that. I happen to not use MCPs much, but for a setup that is MCP-heavy that can help.

Looks very similar. That's good - diversity and more options are good.

But ... as the author and maintainer of Ruler I can tell you that I don't use it and I don't recommend using it (or this new tool).

In almost all cases it isn't necessary anymore - most agents support AGENTS.md (or at least a hack like `@AGENTS.md` in CLAUDE.md), and Agent Skills are the best way to customise agents and are available everywhere now.

There are some corner cases where using a tool like Ruler may still make sense, but if in doubt, you probably don't need it.

This is nonsense. Whatever you think about this project, Peter very clearly and very publicly said that he is not interested in any of the crypto stuff and is seriously bothered by it.

New comment by intellectronica in "Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?"

intellectronica — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 21:30:22 +0000

There is no "loneliness epidemic". It's a bad journalism epidemic. People in general are a combination of lone and grouping. Both are OK. People don't need to socialise all the time. People who want to socialise but can't usually suffer from emotional difficulties that they haven't addressed. Same for people who obssess about socialising all the time.
