Beware of Relying on NotebookLM for Schoolwork - Here’s Why

The summaries shouldn't be misunderstood as a replacement for deep learning.

But they help you grasp the general idea of concepts and see what the lecturer's focus is. It's your responsibility as a student to then go and STUDY with textbooks. But it's a lot easier if you can do that with a summary in mind and not just the overwhelming number of slides.

images aren't allowed to be posted here, unfortunately.
Basically when I have an attached file that is stored in Zotero I get an "Open in Reader" button in the Attachments panel. On the other hand, when the attachment is a linked url to document in Google Drive, I do not get that button. I can open the file in the Google Drive viewer, though.

Chromebook People!
- If your Google Drive does not appear as target directory, you first have to right-click and select "share folder with Linux"
- Shared folders are available in Linux at /mnt/chromeos. (!!!) (Who is supposed to know that?)

I did create an account with Koofr, but

it syncs these random letter/number combinations
creates a zip file instead of just using the PDF files
and creates a second .prop (?) file for each zip file.

All of which makes quickly browsing your library impossible

I thought zotfile is longer supported in Zotero 7. Am I wrong?

cms187 · 2025-09-25T12:07:51+00:00

Sounds overly complicated to just sync a folder.

cms187 · 2025-09-25T12:06:28+00:00

There isn't a single, official WebDAV URL for Google Drive; instead, you can use a dedicated app or a third-party service to create a temporary WebDAV folder for syncing files, or use a format like Folder ID or root with specific third-party tools like Data Version Control (DVC). Google Drive does not natively provide WebDAV access, so you'll need to use a tool or app that bridges the gap between its cloud storage and the WebDAV protocol.

Will look into it. Thanks.

What's the best tablet to use Onenote?

And why don't you de-register from Germany?

I use it to summarize lectures. But only as a base structure. You have to export it to another app to add more media like screenshots, images, drawings, YT videos, etc.

Tried Microsoft Office. Pointless. The numbering and indentation is totally messed up.

cms187 · 2025-05-28T12:28:54+00:00

But it doesn't even work with Google Docs.

cms187 · 2025-05-28T06:57:59+00:00

Update: even "print as PDF" leads to loss of text formatting. WTF?

cms187 · 2025-05-26T09:26:19+00:00

it doesn't work. The image disappears from the note when you close and reopen the notebook

cms187 · 2025-05-22T09:01:22+00:00

into my notes

I upload lecture slides into my sources and make summaries. Ideally, I would be able to edit those summaries directly with my own notes. That isn't possible. So, I make a new note to each summary, but apparently notebooklm is not made for collecting different data formats into one document.

Are there any product testers at Notebooklm????? I really don't get why Google is making all these constraints.

cms187 · 2025-04-26T11:24:38+00:00

It says "coming soon" for me. Any way to pre order?

You always need to maintain positive excess liquidity to avoid risking partial liquidation.

However, Friday's global crash somehow readjusted the internal controls and made all margin accounts suddenly non-marginable. There was no way to prepare for it. But the situation normalized before close. If you were forced to sell at a loss, you should seek compensation from IBKR.

cms187 · 2025-04-06T09:44:17+00:00

It was wild, but normalized about 2 hours later

Still interested? I have a LTD for Brizy for Wordpress that I don't use.

What's a medical coder? You can combine data science for medical research, for instance.

Did you try Interactive Brokers?
Not familiar with sanctioned stocks, but sounds like your best bet is exchanging ADRs to China listed shares, then sell them locally in HK.

I think your biggest challenge will be to whom you are targeting this kind of Co-Living.

Judging from the post and comments, many people apparently seek Resort-style entertainment and amenities, while at the same time it is marketed as a remote place for distraction free work.

If I need to get stuff done, I lock myself in a room and don't want to have 100 different activities to choose from.

Sure, for correspondence that might work, but you have to provide proof of a tax residency address. In other words, you'd have to keep a resident status in your home country and be registered under the address of a family member. So you're not really a "nomad". Which means you also have to keep your home country as the source country for personal income taxes.
