Show HN: Continual Learning with .md
I have a proposal that addresses long-term memory problems for LLMs
when new data arrives continuously (cheaply!). The program involves
no code, but two Markdown files. For retrieval, there is a
semantic filesystem that makes it easy for LLMs to search using
shell commands. It is currently a scrappy v1, but it works better
than anything I have tried. Curious for any feedback!
