You have a 20k book library? I'm assuming this is digital? Where do you get them all? Are they public domain stuff, like from gutenberg.org?

How does this work? Does it feed the PDF's text as a prompt to the LLM? How would you do this if you had, say, thousands of pages of a website? I feel like "chatbot/search engine hybrid which can consume a large website and k

How close are we to handing this thing a desktop and an internet connection with the prompt "ok now make gpt-5"? In fact, the models appear to be already kind of doing that? With the fuzzy layer of the humans still in the loop.

I was just hearing about a local who's using ChatGPT to write copy for their personal website. Then I was thinking, how long until the browser itself has a built in feature to summarize paragraphs of text (which was possibly generated

I mean you could just stand in front of a self-driving car and it'll probably stop rather than swerve around you, I imagine. There was an episode of revisionist history that discussed this a bit https://www.pushkin.fm/p

Ah, more journalist hate. Let's blame the journalist for writing a well-researched, thorough article citing multiple primary sources, because it tells us facts we don't like. It's gas lighting by the elites after all! This is

I was just thinking about how much world-class content is available between podcasts and email newsletters, and it's all free. Whereas if you wanted to say, read an article on the web from the same sources, you're looking at a hug

Personally I’d like to hover over the weather widget without seeing tabloid and politics headlines. There doesn’t seem to be any way to remove them.

HTML / CSS ended up being extremely granular and hackable while missing the big building blocks that would have readily matched the structure of the web - things like navigation menus or page outlines. We waited over a decade for the l

How am I supposed to match two entirely different words? Atomic groups with | don't seem to work. Not something I'd use regex for anyway. What am I missing here?

Wow, this is still going on? I remember it being the case for Windows laptops and pre-builts ~15-20 years ago. I've been using self-built desktop PCs and Apple laptops for so long I've become out of touch. I'm - somehow - sur

Pretty surprised they left the front camera on the side of the device. I can't figure out why they would think that makes sense after using it even once. It's so awkward trying to do a meeting and I have this weird camera angle co

It’s weird you didn’t mention the number one reason for all that. Millions of people with decent incomes and nothing to spend it on due to Covid, bored out of their minds and looking for something to do. Unfortunately for them they did some

The weirdest thing about the Advantage is the hollow echo sound it makes. I'm using a $300+ keyboard but it sounds so cheap due to the hollow sound. It seems so obvious after first typing on it. Besides that, it's an excellent key

Maybe I'm too brainwashed by git, but it seems to me one of its benefits is the way the index works. You're encouraged to be fairly explicit about what you're adding to a commit, which encourages making a nice version history

Inflation doesn't exist as a policy to stiff wage earners. Inflation exists as a reality of a growing economy (more goods and services needs more money to cover them). The alternative is deflation, which would be extremely bad. So what
