As long as we can never fully understand when or how it will turn red, and sometimes when you wrap it in towels it stops being red, I’m all for it.

I know someone personally who can finish multiple thousand-page books in a single day, I’ve always been jealous. They are now a librarian, and I’ve asked them many of the same questions you’re asking.

I recommend getting:

  • the Libby app (and several library cards)
  • a Kindle (or similar device)
  • purchase fresh paperbacks

Figure out which format works best for you.

For me, as I’ve gotten older I’ve found that audiobooks allow me to be the most productive, while consuming books. I still have books I will read on paperbacks, but they allow me to take risks on books I wouldn’t want to dedicate as much time and effort toward.

For me the GOAT is https://around.co

I haven’t used anything but Around (internally) for the last 5 years, and then someone external sends me a google meet invite or a zoom and I cringe.

So OpenVibe but it isn’t free and doesn’t support Nostr?

I have nothing productive to add to your shower thought, so here is evidence of Trump in the ring shaving middle class heads. https://youtu.be/5NsrwH9I9vE

I use Arch for personal and gaming, Debian for self hosting and hacking, Alpine for containerized cloud deployments.

He was doing this way before 2015. Look at the long list of people and businesses he has screwed over since the 80s by not paying his bills.

To be fair to all those people that misunderstand it, they are marketing it as Artificial Intelligence, which it isn’t. So one could argue it is in fact a lie, as most marketing seems to be these days. It’s difficult for us humans to see the difference between intelligence and an “alright prediction of what might come next”. Such as when we struggle to tell the difference between the truth and a lie someone told us. It can be deceiving.

Since marketers have bastardized the term, and we’ve begun using AGI in place of the old meaning, confusion is only going to get worse until existing LLMs become somewhat boring, and marketing latches onto some other trend.

With that said, I find the utility of this thing we now call AI to be pretty useful for my own needs, but that’s not stopping people from trying to fit this square shaped solution into circle shaped holes.

Similar question was recently asked here

Generally what I’ve seen work well in my career and is consistent across thousands of devs I’ve worked with: ~/[whateverFolderNameYouWillRemember]/[organization]/[project]

I recommend when it comes to finding things to just use a fuzzy finder, such as fzf.
