Omar Antolín<p>On the <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> subreddit someone asked: "What exactly is the advantage of having a LISP machine at my fingertips?". I gave an example, which I reproduce here:</p><p>One time I organized a conference session. I had to select among submitted talks and schedule them. The conference had a website I could log into to see all the submitted abstracts, so I wrote some elisp code to download all the abstracts and create a nicely formatted <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OrgMode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OrgMode</span></a> file with all the information —Emacs comes with functions to make HTTP requests and with a full HTML parser!</p><p>Once I chose the talks to accept (which I tagged in the Org mode file), I wrote a quick bit of elisp to write emails to all the talk applicants notifying them of their acceptance or rejection. This code used Org's parsing functions to go through the talks, get the applicant information and to pick either the acceptance or rejection template as appropriate. The code didn't actually send the emails, it just created and pre-populated message-mode buffers so I could review and customize the messages before sending.</p><p>1/2</p>

Charles Choi 최 민수<p>Hi folks - I've made a macOS utility (pre-release) named Scrim to support org-protocol:// with Emacs and I'm looking for BETA testers. Read more about it in the link.

Wilko<p>the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/hledger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hledger</span></a> timedot format works way better with my mental mode of <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/timetracking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>timetracking</span></a> than the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/orgmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orgmode</span></a> clocking commands do.

Phil<p><span>So... I strongly disagree with LLMs (mostly with the marketing and the training data issue), but I found a use-case for myself that they may actually be 'alright' at.<br><br>I organize my life in </span><a href="https://fed.bajsicki.com/tags/Emacs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> <a href="https://fed.bajsicki.com/tags/orgmode" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orgmode</a><span> It's great.<br><br>But over the years, my notes and journals and everything have become so large, that I don't really have a grasp of all the bits and pieces that I have logged.<br><br>So I started using org-ql recently, which works great for a lot of cases, but not all.<br><br>Naturally, I wanted more consolidation between the results, and better filtering, as well as a more general, broad view of the topics I wanted to look up in my notes.<br><br>So I started writing some tooling for </span><a href="https://fed.bajsicki.com/tags/gptel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gptel</a><span>, to allow LLMs to call tools within Emacs, and leverage existing packages to do just that. <br><br>It's in its inception, and works only 20-25% of the time (because the LLM needs to write the queries in the first place), but it works reasonably well even with smaller models (Mistral Small 24B seems to do alright with 16k context, using llama.cpp).<br><br>In general:<br>- It kinda works, when it wants to.<br>- The main failure point at the moment is that the LLM isn't able to consistently produce proper syntax for org-ql queries.<br>- The context window sucks, because I have years of journals and some queries unexpectedly explode, leading to the model going stupid.<br><br>So far it's been able to: <br>- retrieve journal entries<br>- summarize them<br>- provide insights on habits (e.g. exercise, sleep quality, eating times)<br>- track specific people across my journal and summarize interactions, sentiment, important events<br><br>It doesn't sound like a lot, but these are things which would take me more time to do in the next year than I already spent on setting this up.<br><br>And I don't need to do anything to my existing notes. It just reads from them as they are, no RAG, no preprocessing, no fuss.<br><br>At the same time, this is only part of my plan. Next:<br><br>1. Add proper org-agenda searches (such that the LLM can access information about tasks done/ planned)<br>2. Add e-mail access (via mu4e, so it can find all my emails from people/ businesses and add them as context to my questions)<br>3. Add org-roam searches (to add more specific context to questions - currently I'm basing this entire project around my journal, which isn't ideal)<br>4. Build tooling for updating information about people in my people.org file (currently I do this manually and while there's a bunch of stuff, I would </span><i>love</i><span> if it was more up to date with my journal, as an additional context resource)<br><br>For now, this is </span><i>neat</i><span>, and I think there's potential in this as a private, self-hosted personal assistant. Not ideal, not smart by any means (god it's really really not smart), but with sufficient guardrails, it can speed some of my daily/ weekly tasks up. Considerably.<br><br>So yeah. I'm </span><i>actually</i><span> pretty happy with this, so far. <br><br>PS. </span><a href="https://fed.bajsicki.com/tags/orgql" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orgql</a> because org-ql doesn't show as an existing tag.</p>
