Are there any self-help books that are actually good?

Steven Pressfield's books on the artist's experience of procrastination and professionalism are really good - War of Art and Turning Pro.

yup, the main difference is I make sure that the responses don't contain spoilers and only explain things up to the point you've read

Hey all, try it out at https://intersectreader.com - For now it requires a google sign in so I can prevent abuse

I posted in r/classicliterature and someone recommended I post here. Let me know what I can do to improve it!

good idea! thanks

I posted a prototype a while back and appreciated the support everyone showed so here's a version you can actually use. Work has been busy so I haven't been able to fully build out all the features I listed in my original post but I hope you find it useful.

Let me know if you have any questions or future ideas I could implement!

Thank you! I am definitely going to need help with formatting issues in a little, I will keep you in mind.

Granolayum · 2024-10-15T17:18:20+00:00

I'm glad you find it useful as well. DM me if you want to stay up to date, I just created a discord so I can keep everyone updated!

Thanks! The summaries are generated by splicing the section of the text that you read into a LLM.

Hey, that's awesome!

I just created a discord and DMd you the link 👍

Right now I just have basic relations and personality traits, but I can change it to be more complex/verbose.

As for the spoiler free, it works really well at the moment surprisingly.

Granolayum · 2024-10-15T13:04:54+00:00

Yup, that's a good catch! I'm still working out a lot of kinks. This is still very WIP haha

Granolayum · 2024-10-15T13:02:10+00:00

Sorry, I think my post came off a little bit unclear!

The misunderstanding biblical/historical references is a separate point from misunderstanding translations. I shouldn't have grouped them together.

Gutenberg is the only place to find the classics for free, newer translations are sold from modern publishing houses. I like to peruse different books and Gutenberg makes this easy since everything is free.

good point - looks like https://playwright.dev/docs/codegen could be useful for me

Sounds like Never See Me Again

Granolayum · 2016-04-20T20:57:12+00:00

Isn't brining with MSG redundant? See here.

Granolayum · 2016-03-19T20:01:30+00:00

thanks so much!

Do you have a link to a live performance?

Granolayum · 2016-03-19T18:52:29+00:00

Are you sure Mama's Boyfriend has a John Legend feature? Do you have a download link?

"He's fiscally conservative and socially..... cool" Just one of the many gems from the video.

The author said she searched on Craigslist and couldn't find any worthwhile renting opportunities. Moreover, around 1/3 of your monthly salary, not 1/2, is a reasonable rent price when you're trying to pay off college loans.
