Same. Also reminds me of similar apps I used heavily and all of it vanished with the rise of streaming platforms

Re:How Claude's text watermarking works

We should watermark everything we create, AI-generated or not. This might shield our content from being stolen moving forward

You can create those manually but if you want to enforce those then you need the subscription

Yes and they have a specific subscription for managing sandbox policies across the enterprise: Docker AI Governance
Re:Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
on Monday August 10, 2026 @02:28AM (#49239965)
The one thing I wonder about is how you enforce the usage of Docker Sandboxes vs running the agent on the host directly, apart from scanning machines for binaries

I agree with the spatial memory and the many possible and valid ways to approach reading and learning. But it's much harder to recall, connect and leverage ideas that way

Obsidian + Markdown + YAML frontmatter turns knowledge bases into operating systems.
You can really build anything on top of Obsidian. And when you combine the power of the Web platform exposed by Obsidian and its API with properties and Obsidian Bases, you can have tons of fun.
At least I'm having tons of fun.. ;-)

Re:Prompt Politeness Affects LLM Accuracy
on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @04:51AM (#48291492)
I guess it makes sense since we as humans tend to be far less inclined to help someone who is not polite/is not friendly, so that "bias" is part of the training data, thus influences how LLMs function
