Wonderful Python3 Library for working with webpages’ semantic content

You can’t. The later values depend on the earlier ones, so changing the early tokens invalidates your whole cache.

This is also probably why leading with a question works better in the first place. All later processing conditions on the question in this way.

BTW, in my very limited testing, GPT4 doesn’t care about the order.

org-mode has some spaced repetitions tools (e.g., org-drill). I personally don't recommend SR by flashcards too much. It's better to do it more naturally. For example, read books regularly to learn a language; common words will repeat themselves enough times that they'll effectively be a form of SR.

It should be Free. People are okay with literally stealing money from corporations in the name of “tax,” yet they balk at making SDKs Free? Platforms should capture some of the economic returns to have good incentives to improve, but the majority should go to users and third-party developers. It should also be possible to release GPL software on any platform. That’s the minimum bar for not screwing over users.

This is not true. The probability of ending up with nothing is only one in the limit. The probability for any finite tries is close to one, but not one. The EV keeps growing exponentially, as the rewards are growing even faster than the probability of ruin.

It is extremely risky and ill-advised, but as SBF said, it’s possible to end up in a very (very!) good position. The crux is that infinity doesn’t exist. You will place the bet at most a finite number of times.

Even without publisher/legal issues it's clear that preservation of digital media for even the next 10 years, and especially for the next 100 or 1000, is at risk.

This is pure hyperbole. The one and only challenge is rent-seeking. There already are lots of ebooks from decades before in PDF.

You can use the TTY emacs over SSH (or MOSH) without TRAMP. It only transmits the terminal display so it’s fast regardless of third-party extensions. VS Code remote is actually a negative for me, as it needs fast, stable connections and consumes a lot of RAM on the remote machine.

Obsidian is good, but emacs UX and power are on a whole other level if you invest in it. I recently integrated and extended a presentation mode for my org files. It allowed me to reuse all my emacs goodies when creating slides, and all the content is easily searchable and linkable. It is even a great UX when presenting; I could very easily jump between slides to show the relevant slides when questions came up. It’s exportable to beautiful HTML, too.
