Don’t. Life’s too short.

If you’re enjoying it but it’s a hard read take a break and try again. If you’re just not enjoying it sack it.

I can only help with the last part as I use audible. Have you tried Voice? https://droidify.eu.org/app/?id=de.ph1b.audiobook&repo_address=https://f-droid.org/repo

The links to Wikipedia are actual citations to real sources

I read an interesting article a few years ago about the Wikipedia source problem. It did a dive into how sources that seem legitimate on Wikipedia can and up citing sources that are less so. They were able to trace back the citations to Wikipedia itself. So no, they’re not always real sources.

LLMs basically just generate something that looks like the link to a credible source which might support what it’s said. It doesn’t care if its “source” actually supports what it says.

Which is why you read the page it has linked for you as a source. Unless you’re trying to say it full on generates a page for you.

What I mean is I use it to get the links to those sources. Like when you use Wikipedia as a jumping off point. I don’t think we’re at the point yet where we have the problem Wikipedia sometimes has that the sources used sometimes themselves just cite Wikipedia.

I’ve found bing ai is quite good if you ask for the source after anything it spits out.

We did the work so you don’t have to. 😝

Expensive toy = zero interest

Though Lidl value beans are no where near as good as their standard ones.

He’s such a good character in the show. Such a rubbish character in the books.

Couple of stand alone books:

Couple of series:

Final Architecture

Soulseek is my past, present and future.

It can be a more general term for sex offender. But yeah, primarily it’s a pedo.

Any Kobo ereader

Much better for loading your own content than kindle as it supports more formats natively. You can also load alternative ereader applications to it via niclemenu opening it up further.

They also natively support borrowing books from your library through overdrive.

Wait until you try french butter.

I have no idea what you’re doing wrong. All the led bulbs I’ve got are coming up on ten years old and working fine.

Look at my watch and wonder when it’s socially acceptable to leave.

A lot of Indian cooking is vegetarian, not vegan. Ghee is very often used.
