    I built my "NAS", which is just a normal computer with no GPU but 3 hard-drives in RAID 5, for $400 + storage cost. It is much more powerful that any NAS, even thousands of dollars…

    That's fine, lies are more harmful than anecdotes are beneficial. There's no forum to discuss the best IDE and people still manage, in reality there's no need for a forum around AI…

    I know, and I'm saying that 2x claims should be interpreted as an actual 20% increase, and 10x claims as an actual 100% increase. People are just bad at estimating their own produc…

    Not as much as LLMs are poisonous to the scientific literature (or, really, any literature).

    The thing is that maybe your comment is sarcasm, but half of HN commenters would make the same comment 100% seriously.

    I'll be more blunt than other commenters: this is useless. Obsidian and plenty of other note taking apps already do the same and more. Add to that the fact that it's likely entirel…
