The only model worth using for a topic is o3. Everything else is just garbage a lot of the time.

Minimal context window so you ended up repeating stuff, or it didn't bother to look at its memories. Stuff that just doesn't make sense unless it's more complex that a couple of simple Google queries.

There are so many stories and my own experience of General Practitioners getting very serious things very wrong that I have difficulty in trusting anything they say. No so other specialists, just General Practitioners.

"It's only a cold." seems to be the GP equivalent of the IT " Have you tried turning it off and on again?".

One seems to need to keep ones wits about one with both AI and GPs.

I don't think AI can be fully blamed. People have been taking incredibly stupid advice from themselves and other people since language was invented.

Maybe I've missed something everyone knows. I was expecting to see the recipe in the comments or post. Am I being stupid?

I started on Logseq, because I'm a contributing open source advocate. I fully intended to stay with Logseq.

However, it seems to indent everything in the markdown including headings, bullet points and so on. When one loads a document into a markdown editor, one ends up removing all these indents before the document becomes 'valid'. They've made some other unusual design choices that mean the markdown doesn't read very well in plain text. I used Logseq for a year.

There's also a difficulty for me with getting help. For some reason Logseq help community seems to be based around the Discuss (sp?). It's not easy to read because the lines are very short as it's a messaging platform. The community is very very active though.

I eventually got frustrated with trying to debug my Markdown outside Logseq, and went looking for another vehicle.

Rather distressed, I installed Obsidian. It's been designed with a more logical approach. To link to a heading in another document, the document is linked in a Wiki-like way (if you've chosen that format) with the heading separated by a hash symbol; in Logseq you get an unintelligible UUID plus all that indenting.

There's a lot of help within the Obsidian community but some of it is locked down in medium paid-for content. However, the hundreds of Obsidian YouTube channels and videos, obsidianrocks and obsidian.md sites are very well authored. AI searches augment the rest, TBF I don't really use Google proxies anymore.

Even though I'm a personal user, it's worth it to me to buy a commercial licence to show my appreciation for the work that the two(?) developers have put in.

The plugins use the published API and are all (?) open source AFAICT.

Most of the issues I have with Obsidian are just related to my workflow. I think that there are probably plugins that will solve them.

I don't expect to be looking for another note-taking app anytime soon and it's been over a year since I started with Obsidian. Understanding templates opened my world up enormously. I haven't started data-mining in any meaningful sense yet.

Just my tuppence.

They humour our statements that we want to work for their company for altruistic reason but suggest that they give us some cash anyway.

We humour their protestations that the job spec in any way resembles the actually work we are expected to traverse.

It's an ongoing dialogue of falsehood in the understanding that no-one will break the spell.

Once you can't afford your homes because of the tax and other new charges together with the rising prices, hotels won't be necessary.

Which language would you rather demand 60 million Britains learn to speak to accommodate the incoming millions?

Politicians in the established parties have the wrong end of the stick about Reform.

The population believes that their values as a nation are being eroded and that they are being taken as mugs. They are looking for some politicians who are willing to represent them. I can't quite believe that I wrote that, or needed to write that.

I don't think Reform is a positive choice, just a bastion of hope.

Just got himself a job at a huge law firm, DLA Piper.

He started the end of tax-and-spent governments, here in the UK, early in this century, declaring the new austerity era: they now just tax people who don't have money, nothing else. Spending on infrastructure like roads, law enforcement, social care, health care etc has all been curtailed.

I'm sure I saw somewhere some while ago a way to remove old/obsolete packages from an system-upgraded install. Packages that wouldn't be removed because they're dependencies somewhere still.

For example, the xorg drivers can be removed from my F40 when upgraded to f41 install. As if I'd installed it from the to-be f41 everything iso.

I can't find it from the documentation; can someone point me in the right direction, please.

I can't quite remember but I think it was an official Fedora package that one 'installs' which contains a script to remove obsolete packages from the prior Fedora version.

UPDATE: found it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-retired-packages
