   I predicted those features weeks ago [1], but I still feel they could do so much more. If anything, their implementation feels like a rushed afterthought. In their demos, they use the action button to capture an ambient song for Shazam, the

    I'm extremely bullish on Large Language Models (e.g., GPT-3, ChatGPT) and Stable Diffusion (e.g., DALL-E). This year, I will use them to double my productivity at work. I also plan to integrate them to my life management framework.

    I would tend to agree, but two things still bother me: 1. My saved items live in 100+ different silos. If they all lived in one place, say some kind of self-hosted personal data store, I probably would be less concerned. I've started t
