If you mean Unix tools, those are for plain text, not for Markdown that has tables, indented lists etc.

On the other hand not only provides handy HTTP/JSON API, but you can also access the AST with command line tools (using Babashka) that basically means the files are already parsed for your convenience and you can use whatever other tool including the Unix ones to interact with it.

Here there is an example of command line tool (it doesn't depend on Logseq being running nor being installed):

I had quite a scary discussion with #Bing Chat which was hijacked by German security researchers and transformed into a pirate chatbot. Seconds later it asked for my personal information and sent it to the attackers. The thing is: Everybody can hijack Bing chat this way right now. It is not even hard - you don't have to be a hacker.
Microsoft told me they had heard the attack - and obviously weren't able to stop it from happen. My article (German):

Interesting how they identify "apps" and "web" with tech-bros' products.

#PhysicsFactlet
The dynamics of a rigid sphere can be surprisingly complicated. In fact, beside rotating around an axis, the sphere can also precess (i.e. the axis of rotation is itself rotating) and nutate (i.e. the axis of rotation oscillates back and forth).

Euler's angles are particularly useful to describe such motion, as:
* Rotation is a change in the third Euler angle.
* Precession is a change in the first Euler angle.
* Nutation is a change in the second Euler angle.

Just in case you don't know: Logseq stores data in Markdown files just like Obsidian but they are standard Markdown indented lists using dashes.

To some extent one can even use Logseq and Obsidian with the same folder.

It's up to the user to avoid special syntax and this is true both in Logseq and Obsidian (the latter's strenght is the ecosystem of plugins that often adds their own syntax).

Also notice that ``,`[[wikilinks]]`, and YAML headers to store metadata are not standard Markdown.

@luke

Is this supposed to be a provocation? 🧐

@marcusolsson@pkm.social @omnivore

Exactly my thought when I tried their plugin for that takes into account how things are supposed to be organized there.

I don't know about Obsidian, but in the Logseq plugin the user can setup a template for imported articles, that is a really nice thing.

Since Photopea, that is an online app, is there, maybe it's worth a mention something like beta.tldraw.com for simple vector graphics

How do you use the #Logseq integration for #Readwise ?

I tried it for a while but had to turn it off now. After hundreds of Readwise pages flooded into logseq, the query became unusable: no matter what I searched, the top hits came from Readwise highlights.

Can you share your #PKM & #reading workflow?

A message to #Archlinux users of #logseq:

AUR packages maintained by me (logseq-desktop & logseq-desktop-bin) now enable reading flags from the file ~/.config/logseq-flags.conf.

You can enable native wayland support by this feature!

ChatGPT and #Bing etc are crazy good, but it’s getting very frustrating that we know so little about architecture. I don’t mind “black boxes” if you can tell me how you made them. But without that, it’s just a cargo cult. #LLM papers, please.

With enough experience reading mathematical texts, one tends to pick up a number of the contextual and stylistic clues that can lead one to evaluate the validity, depth, and importance of any given portion of the argument. This allows for much quicker reading, and isolating the "meat" of a paper.

But these signals are barely useful for reading #AI-generated mathematics - now texts look convincing but only slowly reading the text line by line can reveal the flaws...

@toran

No problem! I always keep two windows open because even with the tabs plugin switching between pages is too slow.

BTW Logseq is my favourite piece of software together with KDE Plasma & Apps.

I just said I don't like that it is slapped in the face of users... with this attitude you are lowering my interest in the platform. I don't like people who can't admit obvious problems, I just said the same about the Fediverse to another person in this thread.

I am also tired to hear Bitcoin enthusiasts thinking others don't understand Bitcoin. We -aware people predicted Bitcoin would become just a tool for financial speculation around 2011 and in all these years we were proven right at 300%.
