Just looked through the entire website to answer this question. Seems like they only accept english books :( "Types of ebooks we don’t accept: - Non-English-language books. Translations to English are, of course, OK." ( https:&#x2

Bigme Hibreak Pro is currently the better option imo. Especially for those who want it to be even more phone-like

It would be imo worse if the information just gets lost once 23andMe shuts down. Make genome and health information open access.

If it feels hard to reason on, it might be a hint... Sales people provide value. Maybe a sales person would have told this project to focus on being an alternative to Notion or Google Docs, as they are different apps/use cases. The onl

Obsidian is on a fundamental level a very different app to Notion (you already mentioned the web app, databases, ...). It is also not even close to being "hackable to the core", it is not open source. That title belongs to Emacs.

Several companies have tried to "reproduce" Notion and have failed. I don't like or use Notion but that is just extremely ignorant of the USP behind it. Dunning–Kruger much?

This is my main problem with Ecosia as well. I don't believe planting trees is really a good option to help the climate and I have zero trust in tracking progress of those projects in a lot of countries. I would much rather them e.g.

... because AI Chats are consuming more energy than search? This is a flawed argument. Internet search also started out using more energy than looking up things in your local library, so maybe we should go back to that? There is no way arou

With Ecosia I always have to think about the actual impact of planting trees. Imo there are better options to help the climate. And I have zero trust that tracking progress in some countries is really possible. But better than nothing.

Some comments below someone claimed the opposite... do you have any studies?

Well, the author did not reference any actual studies. But some people here have shared an effect on their general impulse control. Do you have any pointers to good studies about this effect?

Is GLP-1 really changing general impulse control? But I do buy the argument. If impulse controlling drugs are going to be effective, the economic impact is basically not quantifiable... not only the economic impact but it would change soci

Looks like I might be the minority, but I disagree with this prediction. Better models will also be better at abstracting and we have seen several examples (e.g. the paper LIMO: Less is More for Reasoning) that with a small amount of train
