<p>Obsidian stands beside the terminal and Firefox as one of the pieces of software I use the most every single day.  Thank you for all you're doing.<p>-<p>I've read the article describing the attack, and my very first thought was utter surprise that the entire attack chain started with someone accepting a shared vault from a stranger via social media (linked in and similar).  That seems really, really strange to me.<p>I've never shared a vault - but if I did, I'd probably do so as a git repo of markdown files.<p>It would be interesting to see a blog post from Obsidian about "good hygiene for sharing vaults".</p>

<p>To me the article isn’t convincing.  There are some interesting points raised.  Like “the llm sharing memories between a team of developers”.<p>I mostly use llms individually, so this is a real blind spot for me.  But I might convinced to share a corpus of memories between developers if it ever becomes practical.<p>But for now aren’t context windows still sometimes smaller than the task at hand…  so those “llm memories” take the form of literal documentation???<p>The closer llm memories get to native format, i.e: stored tokenized content, don’t we lose compatibility between setups anyhow.  What if you’re using fp16, and I’m using nvfp4?</p>

<p>This article is a horrific bait and switch.  The title is "Reading is Magic", but towards the end the tone is literally:<p>> … all struggles will be powered by outright sexual sadism.<p>If that’s where we’re heading, how about a different title and at least a little heads up in the introduction?<p>Personally, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.</p>

<p>> Not really? It's kind of a big deal.<p>Why on earth is the parent comment downvoted?  
the title of the TFA asks a question.  This statement directly answers that question.  Seems very on-topic.</p>

<p>again, just an oppinion, but it feels really weird to hear you find "exception after exception", when the net result that you've ruled out more real world robotics projects on ARM than likely exist on x86 that you're suggesting should be the "norm".<p>you've ruled out the entire NXP ecosystem, the entire Nvidia Jetson ecosystem, the entire AMD/FPGA/Zynq ecosystem, even perfectly good options like beagle-board .... who else?<p>incidentally, you've also ruled out this project - as they are using an M7 microcontroller to meet their hard-real-time timing constraints...</p>
