This is a cool idea!

“Stillness and quiet aren’t the sexiest things, where you can make a lot of money or get a bunch of followers or viewers.”

This article reads like an A.I. wrote it…

If you just want the “how to” guide:

• Make “speeches” – Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your ‘points’ by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
• Slow it down – advocate caution, avoid haste
• Where possible refer all matters to committees (never fewer than five) for “consideration”
• Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
• Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
• Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

What if I don’t want to bring my god damn phone with me everywhere I go?

Deeply skeptical.

Weird. I already feel like my phone is out of my control & I have to wrestle control back with 3rd party OSs, open source apps, etc. Surrendering the last bit of control I still have to black box LLMs (& LAMs) seems opposite to the direction I want to go.

(The teenage engineering design is cool though)

Super cool (except the Instagram link)

Tried GPT for help with code writing. 10% of the time it was super helpful and saved me time. 90% of the time it gave garbage dressed up as good ideas (which I’d pursue awhile before I realized they were garbage).

When my workflow began to include checking GPT’s answer before continuing, I realized it was adding as much (or more) time than it was saving. So I don’t use it anymore.

Can’t speak for Google, but I have close ties to Intel where I promise they work people to the bone.

But then again, Intel makes something. So it’s probably not relevant to compare them to Google.

Who downvoted this? Please explain? Lol!

That UI is… it’s really something

This web utility seems like exactly what you’re describing. I think this was a small app someone made for themselves while developing a game for Playdate. The source might be available on their Github. If not they seem friendly, you could ask for it.

I don’t understand the question. Are you looking for a tool which converts images to 1-bit? With dithering to simulate greys?

This art is super cool, btw! Where can I find more?

Thoreau describes the cabin as a single 10 x 15’ room with very few possessions, so there wouldn’t be much to clean. And he spent a significant amount of the book describing cleaning routines. So yeah, I expected no housekeeper for sure.

What’s your source for the housekeeper claim? I tried some internet searching but couldn’t find anything mentioning a housekeeper.

He had a housekeeper?
