I was expecting Flow-Matic but your mention is even older. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOW-MATIC


Fortran, the language, is also older than FLOW-MATIC.

FLOW-MATIC's claim to fame was beating Fortran at releasing a working implementation (and having syntax that looked like English, but that's not something to be proud of). Plankalkül, however, has not yet been implemented so if we're only counting releases of working software, it isn't a contender.


Since when was everything no longer "announced" or "released", but "dropped"? Is this an LLMism?


Started in the 1988, with music, then expanded from there.

No you're just old. Come sit with us in a nice comfy chair.

I just started using Obsidian. What is the best way to use Obsidian both on your phone as well as your PC/laptop? I use it within git and google drive. How can I sync it most easily to my phone as well?


I use the Android app DriveSync for syncing files from GDrive. Here's a nice guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1ktk29p/use_dri...

By the way, you can also collab on a vault/folder over GDrive. DriveSync will be able to choose a "Shared with me" folder directly, but on Windows, first go to the web version (drive.google.com) and make a link to the shared folder in your "My Drive". Back in Windows, the link will be in your G:\My Drive folder. You can then mark that folder/link as "available offline" for the best experience. If you open the link in Windows, you'll get the full path to the folder and can then open it as a vault in Obsidian. You should end up with something like G:\.shortcut-targets-by-id\1-BkkGbtKp2342jSMgR7_HdfshNOAG3mg\OurCoolVault


Obsidian has a git plugin that works on all platforms I tried it on (Windows, Linux, Mac and iOS). So I just have a private repo that syncs all the devices through git.

For iOS, the "hard" part is getting the initial git clone, but after that whenever you open the app you can pull/push any changes or set it to automatically do that on a schedule.

To setup a git repo on an iOS device you need iSH[1] but you can delete it the initial `git clone`. The plugin can handle it from there. Make sure to use https and a token that doesn't expire as part of your git clone url. Here is a guide[2]

The only thing to keep in mind is to have a .gitignore that excludes some of .json config files in .obsidian folder as they often cause conflicts. I exclude workspace.json and workspace-mobile.json which just define what tabs you have open on a given device so I think it makes sense to keep that device specific and not commit it.

Obsidian Sync is the best way, as others commented. If you're just trying it out and you use Apple devices, you can also save the Vault in the iCloud Drive, which is what I used to do at the beginning.


I use Syncthing to sync between multiple devices, it works without issue.

You could also pay for Obsidian Sync. This has the added benefit of being officially supported and it funds the development of the software.



I'm using Google Drive to sync between my Windows laptop and desktop, and Android phone. It works very well.

In general you can use many cloud provider, SyncThing Fork or GitHub.

I wrote about all these options in more detail here: https://bryanhogan.com/blog/how-to-sync-obsidian

The easiest way to sync would be with the official Obsidian subscription, which costs the most amount of money from the options mentioned here.


By using their Sync subscription feature.


You're absolutely right, it does!


Do you never get sick?


because nobody says that


Anthropic moved from 3.5, to 3.5(new), to 3.7. They skipped 3.6 because of usage in the community, and because 3.5(newer) probably passed some threshold of awfulness.

People also use 3.5.1 to refer to 3.5(new)/3.6.

The remaining difficulty now is when people refer to 3.5, without specifying (new) or (old). I find most unspecified references to 3.5 these days are actually to 3.6 / 3.5.1 / 3.5(new), which is confusing.


That's not correct. I have always referred to it as v3.6, and I've seen plenty of other people do so too. It's why their next model was called v3.7


Is codex-1 no longer available through the API?


Economists don't study human dignity or justice which the Pope was talking about.


They literally do.


They explicitly don’t. Money and dignity are in no way related. They may, on occasion, study how people will deprive themselves of dignity for money, but of course this is not within a hundred miles of the primary interest of the field. It is essentially macro-psychology. It is trying to remove identification of the individual to find generic patterns.


Economics isn’t just “money”.

Economists study things like stripper names to abortion effects on crime. Go ahead and read the book Freakonomics.


Which elements of this book haven't been totally debunked?


Yah I heard about people trying to debunk it over the years, with zero effect.


Economics and money are not the same thing. This is why I specifically pointed out that they’re just mediocre psychologists.


No, they don't.


For those who don't know Chesterton: He is one of the most insightful, most entertaining writers you will ever read.


A lot of my friends have said so, and to be fair I haven't read more than a few paragraphs that they quoted or linked me to, but honestly, he's just... not for me I guess.


Martin Gardner wrote introductions for editions of several of Chesterton’s books, which is a nice bonus if you’re the kind of dork who likes a good introduction (guilty). They’re on some of the Dover thrift editions, I think, and probably some others.


Disagree. He was a smug, utterly conservative Catholic who wallowed in his biases, an authoritarian and an anti-semite.


He could be all of those things and still be an entertaining writer. They aren't exclusive.


Can you provide references for these claims?
