I always wanted to sort/filter goodreads like this. I don't know how you scraped the site, but the Kaggle datasets I've seen are always deficient in one way or another: either too small (less than 10k), or books are scraped r

It is getting somewhat better recently, but a phone like the Samsung A15 is still an exception : for under $170, you get 4+1 years of support, which is good enough I guess (less than $3/month).

What I would improve is the discoverability of improvements that already exist, if that makes sense : So many scripts, extensions, and UIs are out there. Maybe someday I will organize it together and feed it as RAG to a custom GPT. And spea

Hmm... I've always wanted something like this. Good execution. Good use of (Andy Matuschak?) Sliding Panes. However, my opinion is that this is going to work well only in very specific situations: small teams and discussions with a hig

Most data accumulates gradually (e.g., one email at a time, one line of text at a time across various documents). Is this huge 10M scale of context window relevant to a gradual, yet constant, influx of data (like a prompt over a whole googl

Some suggestions : - Create multiple independent "vaults" (like obsidian). - Append links to related notes, so you can use (Obsidian's) graph view to map the AI connections. - "Minimize" the UI to just the chat win

Outline [1] is not OSS (its source is just available). Docusaurus [2] is not a "wiki" (it generates static sites from Markdown). But both are popular and self hostable. [1] https://github.com/outline/outline

The article mentions that the project has over 600K monthly users, which is a significant number for a side project. However, in comparison to Spotify's user base of 1000 times more, it now seems insignificant. This reminds me of how c

AI/LLM winter sets in; GPT-6.5 is no AGI, but the wide-ranging societal effects of AI systems are visible at all levels. VR/AR Spring finally arrives; Apple Vision 6 SE is a satisfying mass product for under $600.

I have an observation on the original use of OPML, i.e., for outliners (the one I utilize frequently) : Many recent outliners (logseq, roam) added custom properties/fields (for DB-like block-level queries), but they don't seem to

I agree. The original reason [1] for the gemini name seems artificial for a generic chatbot. It is OK for the model, and I'm sure a lot of "work" was put into "validating" it for the assistant, or... was it? [1] ht

I'm confused: Is this GPT-4 or GPT-3.5? The last reasonable answer I found (I forgot where) mentioned that they only downgrade it to v3.5 during peak hours. Still, even if it is v4, it seems to behave differently. The copilot should so
