The difference between memory and a second brain... In Hermes you have a memory.md file, but it's not particularly useful for storing a lot of info. Your second brain is a type of memory where you can distil down your raw inputs into insight you can use with AI.... show more

Yeah gives you insight you can actually swing with

Ricci Research1 month ago

The distillation step is the whole product — a memory file that stores everything is just a slower search index. What's your rule for what gets promoted from raw notes into the brain, and what gets discarded?

PuneetSingh⚡️1 month ago

memory.md only works if you distill, not dump. Raw logs bloat context; a short reusable insight file is what actually shows up next run.

Bezhan Mukhidinov1 month ago

You can use hindsight memory and it works perfect with hermes, also chromadb

Nero Axiom1 month ago

This is the exact gap most non-technical business owners hit. They save everything — notes, chats, docs — but never distill it. A second brain isn't more storage, it's a compression step: raw history in, decisions out.

Obsidian CEO actually released the skill that lets your AI agent run your entire vault for you. It's called obsidian-skills. Install it into Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode, and your agent can read, create, search, and organize notes directly, plus handle Markdown, Bases, and Canvas files without you touching a thing. This is the missing piece for an AI second brain. Your notes live in Obsidian, and now the agent actually knows how to work them. Want the full picture? We broke down how to build a complete AI second brain from scratch in the article below.

delete Obsidian. a second brain you have to feed isn't a second brain. it's homework! minimi captures everything you do automatically - wiki builds itself, updates while you sleep. it's Karpathy's second brain with no manual effort. seamless. try here:

build your own memory... only if: - you can top the benchmarks - want to spend more money - have more time. - want to deal with infrastructure, and not actually build a product but for most people, you should just... use supermemory

The birth of inkField reflects how the world is changing. I used to build art through code alone, but with LLMs, artists can now build complex systems too. If you want to, your left brain and right brain can finally merge. This opens up a vast new territory for creation.

What's harder than any workout? Intentionally doing a cold plunge in February Your brain fights you every second. It just wants to crawl out of your brain. It's NOT easy. But the health benefits are great -- especially for reducing joint inflammation

🚨this broke my brain. i just watched a 20-something close his laptop, walk home and run his whole second brain from his phone (CEOs pay a chief of staff $135,000+ a year for the same job), while 99% of people still try to keep it all in their own head a second brain is one folder that knows everything you know, plus an AI that reads it before every task. Karpathy's post about it hit 22 million views you can build yours with Grok Bot tonight: - keep it in files, not chat memory. memory keeps summaries, a file stays exactly as you wrote it - never edit the originals. every note links back to the email or link it came from - slow facts like people and how you work live in files, fast facts like dates and amounts get rechecked at the source - one index file it reads first, then only the files that index points to - every correction becomes one line in a rules file it rereads before every task - skip the setup. grab the one-paste prompt from the article below and Grok Bot builds the whole brain for you it all runs on its own computer in the cloud, laptop shut at 7:30 every weekday one page is waiting with what came in, what it drafted and what waits for your yes zero re-explaining zero lost ideas zero blank chats it gets sharper every week you feed it you're done being your own memory you're running a second brain for $20 a month bookmark this. all 7 steps are in the article below

Elon Musk Elon Musk on Neuralink: “So, when I emphasized the purpose of Neuralink, like what do we, what's our goal, our goal is to solve important spine and brain problems with a seamlessly implanted device. So, you wanna have a device that you can basically put in your head and feel and look totally normal, but it solves some important problem in your brain or spine. And the reality is that almost everyone, over time, will develop brain and spine problems. These range from minor to very severe, but if you live long enough, everyone's gonna basically have some kind of neurological disorder, from memory loss to brain damage. But the thing that's important to appreciate is that an implantable device can actually solve these problems. I think a lot of people don't quite realise that, but all of your senses, your sight, hearing, feeling, pain, these are all electrical signals sent by neurons to your brain.”

Meet the minds building supermemory! 🧠 Our research engineer Prasanna breaks down how memory actually works, in your head, and in AI. inside the episode: → why forgetting is a feature and not a failure → what your hippocampus inside brain is really doing all day → how "dreaming" turns a messy day into long-term memory → what the AI labs get right, and wrong, when they copy the brain → why a bigger context window still isn't memory the line worth sitting with: stop asking where memory is stored. start asking what gets kept, and why the brain chose it. full episode below ↓
