Моя идеальная структура заметок уснула. Теперь за порядок отвечает LLM

Полгода назад я построил себе в Obsidian продуманную структуру хранилища. PARA-подобная иерархия, аккуратные папки под проекты и области, шаблоны, теги. Я честно верил, что вот теперь заживём.Прошло несколько месяцев, и структура уснула. Не развалилась, не сломалась, именно уснула. Заметки продолжали появляться, но раскладывать их по местам мне стало банально лень. Каждая новая мысль требовала маленького ритуала: решить, куда её положить, как назвать, с чем связать, какие теги повесить. По отдельности... Read more

This puzzle game’s simple premise hides surprising depth

What's the Password? has a simple concept: To solve each of the game's more than 100 puzzles, you have to type in the right four-digit password on a number pad.

Why is Apple asking me to pay more for Big Tech’s AI obsession?

Tim Cook recently said price increases were "unavoidable" and described the company's pricing as "unsustainable." The 16-inch MacBook Pro saw its price go up by $300. The 11-inch iPad Air went from $599 to $749. Even the HomePod Mini got a $30 bump to $129. Cook squarely placed the blame at the feet of the […] Read more
