Trying to decide: Obsidian.md or Logseq — which one is the ultimate tool for knowledge management and note-taking?

Both have their strengths, but I’m curious:
Which do you use and why?
Pros, cons, hidden features — let’s discuss!

Many of us have been on this quest for years now. #toolsforthought have to be multi-player to support the networked orgs that exist throughout our family, personal, and professional lives.

I wrote recently about #AI for IA (intelligence augmentation) and it looks like Stanford is paying attention. ;-)

"We encourage the university to view goals in this space in line with the philosophy of Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) to make sure that the use of AI is centered on improving the human condition. Thus, we prefer to focus on “augmenting human capabilities” versus “replacing humans.”"

I asked STORM for an article on #Augmentation of Human Intellect and Tools for the Extended Mind.

I first heard of "the extended mind" via cognitive philosopher Andy Clark. I interviewed him in 2011:

Logan, Alison Gopnik in mind, describe in detail how large language models can be used as tools for thought.

“We apply theories of human cognitive capabilities and limitations to understand how computers can best provide such cognitive support. The interdisciplinary nature of this work is reflected in the term cognitive engineering.”

Writing some "integration" or "system" tests for my [WikidProject](https://one.mikro2nd.net/pages/wikid-intro/), wherein one wiki instance copies/syncs tagged pages to a designated server. (No code, yet, just sketching out tests, because tdd...)

Design is such that I have a WikiEngine that does all the real work, and a thin HTTP wrapper around that to provide the transport.

So which should I test with? The Engine or the HTTP server (along with all the URL/string wrangling implied).
