    Using localized, private AI models to “chat” with previous thoughts is pretty neat, and a use case for archiving thoughts via notes over time. Linking ideas as well is pretty neat.

    Summary

    Summary

    Engineers at Northwestern University successfully demonstrated quantum teleportation over a fiber optic cable carrying internet traffic. By utilizing a less crowded wavelength and special filters, they were able to transmit quantum information alongside traditional internet data. This breakthrough opens the door to a future where quantum and classical networks can coexist, offering unprecedented security and speed.

    Neat to see other methods. Already using Obsidian and the "ACE" framework by Nick Milo. Seems similar in some ways. For me, Obsidian is used as it is a plain text file even if I don't have Obsidian in the future. It's future proof.

    Apple Notes is harder to export in the same way.
