AI writes daily research notes: how to select chunks 2023-08-11 There are a number of options for how to select chunks

  • A: Random
  • B: Recently updated chunks
  • C: Chunk of recently created new pages
  • D: The older the update date/time, the lower the probability
  • E: Vector search on previous note I think A or D would be appropriate under the condition that it be done automatically once a day.
  • In B and C, we see things from the same perspective as humans.
    • The need for “AI to see and develop what humans are seeing now.”
    • If that’s what you’re looking for, don’t wait for a once-a-day opportunity to make an explicit request to the AI.
  • E is “AI reads and thinks about Scrapbox in its own interest, independent of humans”.
    • This is not a bad streak.
    • The problem is that naive implementation is where you read the same thing over and over again.
    • Need an implementation that remembers “what you’ve read in the past” and leaves it out.
    • On the other hand, “Do I really have to read something once and never again?” I mean, well, that’s not true.
      • Well, maybe the last 100 or so.

      • You could decide based on the amount of notes you had last time.
      • 0 means random
      • If there are a lot of them, it’s unlikely that they are derived from a single existing chunk, so using the results of a vector search won’t result in “all the same ones”.
      • If the previous note has N tokens, there will be zero additional chunks to begin with.
      • I’d love to put one in at random.

      • It never happened.
  • A is the easiest to implement, so I experimented with this implementation.
    • As a result, Hatena Diary became a hit, which worked rather well for me!
    • It’s imported because it’s worth zero if it’s not a search hit.
    • but there are no Scrapbox-like links, so there are no Scrapbox-like suggestions.
    • This has resulted in a situation in which the product is contained but underutilized.
    • I don’t want to parse Hatena notation and change it to Scrapbox notation because it’s too much trouble.
    • AI will interpret this in natural language and make summary notes, a good “dig back”.
