For context, Andrej Karpathy created a UI for YT over the weekend: https://x.com/karpathy/status/2116957135661945283
Tested it on 100k notes, the fast find plugin works quite well. a bit slower, instead of a 3ms search result on a 10k vault, it takes up to 300ms in some cases. Indexing was fine, but Obsidian's own index took forever to finalize, and the whole Obsidian app was not really made for such big vaults. But my plugin seems to be fine :)
yeah good point, I will add more docs and try that, and I doubt it will have any problems.
The "exact" tests were made with 12k notes in my test vault and 10k in my personal vault. I haven't tested for 100k, but it would be interesting, do you have a vault or example of such a vault?
it should be doing fine on any size, but I noticed OmniSearch hits limits around 10k notes for me, you could also use it way before and way over. But I guess if you have fewer than 4k, you might not need sophisticated search, except if you enjoy the added features such as preview and searching by title, headers, and semantics.

i love triggers, started with them, and they are still a good toolset to have if CDC is not an option by the source database we need to pull from

Back to the fundamentals! Triggers it is, indeed.

good point, thanks for the honesty. I will change that, I think the color inside pop up make sense (red removed, green added words), but the green dot does not add value.
This page has been live long before AI appeared, I used Quartz [1] v3, now at v5. But added some features I like with AI, yes, but still keeping my beloved color theme and web style as I had it for a long, long time. The whole code for the second brain (ssp.sh/brain/*) is on GitHub, in case you want to check it [2], but you can also see the "Changelog" in the footer to see recent visual changes. But I'd be curious what makes you think it's AI-generated?

I've noticed a similar phenomenon: getting tired of networks and algorithms. I wrote a short essay with my thoughts on "Well Being in Times of Algorithms" [1].

They have one of the best articles out there, and now the page is great too. Fun and innovative. My favorite article, in case you haven't read it already, is local-first [1], or I recently read the embark, dynamic documents for making plans. These always give me so much inspiration.

TLDR:

1. If consumed by a human, it should also be written by one

2. It's hard to finish an idea that's not yours

3. If you start writing today, there's no way to know if you can write without AI

4. AI won't replace human writing (as writing is thinking)
