I have observed this in myself when I began to over-leverage AI in my workflows. I've since become more deliberate with what kinds of tasks I will use it for, although I still slip up. With writing: Things like brainstorming a plot lin

I'm not sure what the take-home of this message is since you can replace "AI" with just about anything... "If you use a keyboard to do your work, you can be replaced by someone else using a keyboard to do your work.&quot

Great idea, done. I fixed the second one normally because that's just embarrassing. I guess at least we know it was really written by a human? ;)

Hahaha I missed that completely, sorry. ...Now I kind of don't want to fix it :D

For me the small screen is fine as long as I can maintain the mindset of this being a _drafting_ tool, not an editing or structuring tool. I generally don't need to see more than a couple of sentences at a time, and my drafting process

I use the Onyx Boox Palma for a portable eink drafting setup. It's worked pretty well. I wrote about it here: https://liza.io/portable-writing-setup-with-onyx-boox-palma/

I post a lot of notes on my personal blog. From lectures and such. I use AI to proofread the notes I took during the lecture. Other than that it outputs them in exactly the same lecture-dump format that I take them in, and then I edit them

My team was recently laid off, myself included. Before formal termination my employer had to negotiate with my union and run everything past them - from a potential exit deal (which I opted not to take) to the whole layoff procedure and new

That seems like a really tenuous connection for him to make if that's what he's doing. I find it difficult to believe that ambitious people outside of a certain niche would refuse to come to the US because of perceived lack of AI

Not about sleep learning but lucid dreaming in general: I have long been puzzled and disappointed that we are not pouring more research, interest, and funding into controlling the induction of lucid dreams. There are ways to learn to do it

I wonder if you would ask the same thing about any number of apps - like fitness trackers, mood trackers, supplement trackers, online diary apps, task trackers, etc? You don't even need a notes app - you could just carry a notebook aro

Half asleep definitely doesn't sound like good quality, restorative sleep.

I have been thinking about this kind of thing recently. I've got a hobby project that generates some AI content for the user and trying to figure out the most fair way to deal with the output being just plain bad. I haven't run in

I think it is already pretty widely recognized that caffeine can disrupt sleep taken even as early as 6 or 7 hours before bed. I usually don't drink coffee or caffeinated tea after 12 for this reason. Caffeine also has many other known

I think I got a really cool wallet and notebook from Hand & Sew through Massdrop many years ago. The wallet is long gone but the notebook is still around with a wonderful patina. It used to be a really cool site for unique items. I stop

Reminds me of a talk I went to in 2018 about rebel agents, in which the speakers talked about some ongoing work in this area and gave some good examples of physical systems that we might _want_ agent rebellion (e.g., a delivery drone is ins

It makes me so happy every time I think about that - how my cats have never had to know anything other than utter love and safety. In actuality he's been through some really rough times at vet hospitals as a kitten (and that's why

I'm still reading, but as I go through the sight vs sound section I am reminded of how weird my cats seem to be (especially the male). He seems to have none of these risk assessment/survival instincts at all unless we are at the v

People like me: who prefer not to kill animals to live but enjoy the taste of some type of meat in moderation. I am absolutely happy to pay for a premium meat alternative for the occasional visit to a burger joint. There are lots of them wh

Most 19 year olds probably wouldn't opt into injecting themselves twice a day for weeks and dealing with the side effects of the injections, then the subsequent extraction procedures (likely for multiple rounds) even if it was paid for

I enjoy being alone (emphasis: alone, not lonely), but I don't think it's good to try to force yourself to just cope with it somehow if it isn't your thing. But then, you seem to not want to do anything that would help you no

Anecdotally, not with depressive symptoms but anxiety, I find that use of ChatGPT/Claude for 'brainstorming' personal situations was definitely a gateway to further rumination for me. As someone who works on AI agents I thoug

I _loved_ Language Transfer when learning Greek. I haven't used it in many years, but at the time remember that I went from just being able to say "Hi" and "How are you" and "Good" to speaking full sentenc

I've found the opposite when using Anki myself. The process of developing the deck is a critical part of learning the material for me. I consume my target language, see something I don't understand, figure out what it means, then

I've been using Anki for a few years and have never experienced it as neglected. There are regular updates and a big community contributing knowledge, add-ins, etc.

Just for myself. Helps me consolidate my own thoughts and learnings. Sometimes I google something and my own blog comes up. That gives me a bit of a laugh (and is sometimes useful).

This doesn't really seem like a competitor to OP? I think it might solve different needs. One looks like a straightforward tracking app and yours looks like some kind of training/lifestyle program.

I really like the initiative. I've been using a free app on Android for many many years. My favorite things about it are that it's simple, no social media integration that I know of, nothing fancy or trying to suggest a routine -
