Obsidian Plugin for Print

Johannes Neubauer Leave a comment

This blog post covers my experience building an Obsidian plugin using ChatGPT – including a minimal backend. The project is open source and available on GitHub:

Why that? To solve a real limitation I’ve hit repeatedly. Obsidian on iOS doesn’t support printing or PDF export. That’s an issue, if you want to print short notes, e.g. prep lists for talks, interview questions, or quick todos. To make it even more useful (to me), I don’t print to A4 – I use a thermal receipt printer connected to a Raspberry Pi 4B. It prints on 80 mm continuous paper, ideal for portable, foldable notes that fit in a jacket pocket. Of course, a nice addition would be to support A4, too 🤓.

The resulting notes look like this:

The ChatGPT Programming Experience: A Second Attempt

Johannes Neubauer Leave a comment

Welcome back to my series on using ChatGPT for programming (written with help of ChatGPT)! In this second installment, I’ll share my experiences using ChatGPT to build a small software project.

Here you can find the chats: https://github.com/juangamnik/chatgpt-schedule/tree/main/chatgpt

I set out with the premise that I would not write more than a few lines of code, leaving most of the work to ChatGPT. Let’s dive into the numbers, the areas where ChatGPT slowed me down, and the moments where it truly shined.

Large Language Models, GPT, and I

Johannes Neubauer Leave a comment

This is the first blog post in a row that describes my first experiences with ChatGPT as a pair programmer and assistant for a developer. As you will see, these experiences had some ups and some downs, but all in all – spoiler alert – on the one hand is the advancement in A[G]I (Artificial [General] Intelligence) especially in regard of NLP (Natural Language Processing) using LLM (Large Language Models) and GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) very impressive. On the other hand I had to revise some of the observations (and criticism) I made, just weeks later, since the pace of evolution in the AI scene is so freaking high.

So these are the blog posts of this series:

  1. This post
  2. The ChatGPT Programming Experience: A Second Attempt
  3. The Evolution of Large Language Models in Programming: A Broader Perspective

But let’s start at the beginning (the following text has been created with help of GPT-4)…
