@fredy_pferdi I found their tool call capabilities to also be lacking. It works way faster than dense models but I think the percentage of bullshit it adds to the context makes it moot relative to tighter contexts with smarter models. 🤷

@roknrol Engineering sounds generally useful. Hope it's fun and scifi!

OMG yeah smoking is a rough one. What's your strat for it? gum or cold turkey?

Agreed re small changes. My mantra has been "something is better than nothing" for years and it helps get through the big daunting tasks. 🫂

I hear running regularly can help with habit dropping too? Hard to make a schedule sometimes though. I just take the stairs (~10 floors) and it's already helped a ton.

@sirlan whoaa. Is that samsung dex or sonething? Or is it raw linux for arm?

@TheQuinbox epic. Yeah I need to find some time to dig into it 🥳

@TheQuinbox That makes sense. I usually navigate by chapters then skim through paragraph by paragraph until I get where I want. It'd be neat if indexes in books referenced line numbers or paragraph numbers for extra quick nav. IIRC Philosophical Investigations by Ludwig Wittgenstein had markers like this for easy referencing when I read it.

Ty for the info! 🙇

@TheQuinbox Have you considered getting rid of the concept of pages entirely? I find they tend to be more annoying than helpful, especially with PDFs enforcing their own constraints on what a page is outside of the raw contents I actually care to listen to.

@TheQuinbox Cool so you have the usual tree nav + app specific shortcuts? I ask cause I've been thinking about the UX for the reader I plan to make. I was thinking more along the lines of having "fuzzy search" over the tree and having it be global to the entire desktop so I can hop around quicker. Or adding "navigational bookmarks" to hop back to. Kinda like jumping around the filesystem using zoxide which is my main way to navigate my pooter right now. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

@TheQuinbox Cool will do! I don't use flatpak much so I'll probs start by just compiling it 😸

Do you navigate the app primarily with the screen reader accessibility tree?
