On one hand, I hardly touch a search engine any more. On the other, it's still a fairly common occurrence that I can give someone out in the world their ChatGPT experience.
I'm super curious to see how this ("the end of internet search as we know it") plays out with non-techy users. I strongly suspect that Google is "search" to many non-techy users the way that Internet Explorer was "the internet" to that same group.
Which I suppose leads to an obvious answer: device defaults will absolutely dictate what ends up being the go-to.
I think the sad thing is that you just don’t need search engines any more because there is too much conglomeration. There’s basically like three kinds of websites. Companies, Social Media, and Wikipedia.
I don't have a Remarkable so it's not clear to me how the file gets to your server. Are you sending it directly from the Remarkable or connecting a Remarkable cloud account?
This is connecting via the reMarkable cloud tool, but everything is abstracted into a `DocumentManager`, so you could also use, for example, the document manager that just drops PDFs into the filesystem [1] so that you can use whatever tool you like, including, say, iPad, writing with a wacom on your laptop, etc.
Currently hugged so I can't read the article, but I can only wonder how this compares to the batting average of any given R&D effort. 20% of projects succeeding on a cutting edge technology might be pretty good, no?
And in a hype cycle many many more projects get off the ground that normally, outside of a hype cycle, wouldn't have ever received the requisite funding.
It’s an interesting thought experiment. For some reason, phone use in the gym just doesn’t bother me as much as it does some other people.
The trouble with an anything device is that it’s often hard to tell from across the room what the device is being used for. And there are certainly legitimate use cases in a gym.
Thinking through mine, the hardest ones to give up would be:
- Workout tracking: eventually this has to happen in an app because my trainer reviews the data async. I could carry pen and paper and transfer later, but I would lose the benefit of 1) easily browsing my history and 2) having handy weight conversions of my history when I travel.
- Communicating with my trainer when one of us is late. I realize this wouldn’t be necessary in an ideal world, but in reality it’s pretty important.
> Language forgetting is like this: a very gradual process that happens over many years. Someone who isn’t using a language forgets individual words far more quickly than they forget grammar and pronunciation, and the ability to understand a language will stick around a long time even if someone loses their ability to speak it.
I speak Japanese as a second language and I've been in situations where I spoke very little English for extended periods of time. I've never worried about "forgetting" English but I've certainly lost easy mental access to certain words in English, where the Japanese comes much more readily.
It's super strange when that happens and I'm searching for a word in my own native language.
This is really cool. I didn't expect to be able to make my own note.
I wondered what your top page would be, and it seems to redirect to /about-me. Did you try any other ideas for a top page? I guess that's an interesting problem since the Notes app doesn't have a top page.
I haven't been using LLM-powered voice assistants much since I usually prefer text. One thing I noticed playing around with this demo is that the conversational uncanny valley becomes much more apparent when you're speaking with the LLM.
That's not a knock on this project, but wow it's something I want to think about more.
