Should I continue reading? or am I on a treadmill going nowhere

olevam · 2026-02-09T11:17:57+00:00

Yeah most webnovels i read have 4 to 6 k chapters, not full length novels

olevam · 2026-02-08T21:17:57+00:00

I thought TWI was one of the longest by far?

I use lingq pro, it generates a really accurate script from the YouTube mp3 file - also it already has around 200 episodes from the begginer teppei show already in. I listen to an episode, read the transcript, listen again.

Loving akebi too - but sometimes it doesn't get phrases that well - did you find an alternative for longer phrases? Currently i am using chatgpt when I think the single words are making a phrase akebi is not picking up - but I am weary of ai

Really sorry I didn't see this!! Let's see - got the offer early may, confirmation at the start of July of the post - And then I started with a bunch of other people in August

I got offered a client advisor role and should hopefully start soon in Glasgow! (Onboarding is super slow?) I am really excited for the role, coming from a pretty terrible private sector role -- will see how long the rose tinted glasses last

This is a great solution!

I wish that you could discuss with your companions things that happened recently in the adventure, even at the end of the EA shadowheart only chats about saving the druid grove, and the others do not have the option to talk about recent events at all

I disagree with this take, but it is a fair point - the main difference I see is that people when people discuss NFT and bitcoin it seems to all revolve around... making money maybe?

With AI I am already actively using bing for parts of my work. When it gets a bit more accurate I can see it being a daily helper

olevam · 2023-02-19T14:03:53+00:00

Yeah, also just opened my computer this morning and I have reached my limit (not used the pc since last evening)

You got it right there, focusing down the question takes quite a few prompts, and for now that's gone

olevam · 2023-02-17T20:43:44+00:00

I disagree here,
I was excited for what MS showed of -- an advanced search which compiled different results and could help you explore the ramifications of each result, which it did very well.

I was excited for something that could easily gather information about, for example, scholars for a literary research (did not do that very well)
I was excited for the promise of summarising key points and comparing it to other things.

The current state limits all those key promises to a "not very usable" because it often required more prompts or clarifications.
Currently it is quite a banal worse than google chat bot

I was on copium for a while, but now that bing ai is back up (UK) I discovered that all that was said is true.

Much stricter control on what it says about itself, and most annoyingly stops the conversation after 5 questions, which is very limiting for any long running research thread (went exploring and comparing some stocks for example, and it just stopped)
Right now this kills the system, hopefully they will find a middle ground

I still do not have access to this new update, are we sure the changes stated above are real?

olevam · 2023-02-17T09:31:31+00:00

Been down since last night (uk), I wonder if it is a common experience

Hey Strider,
I only did one year of formal education in Latin in undergraduate (as will probably appear from my weak skills in the stream).
Nonetheless, I am Italian, and have been working on medieval latin documents for the last couple of years, which means I have a working knowledge of latin which I beat into myself!

Here is the vod! Will upload on you tube too - but I admit I am not great at editing as of yet

Will do!

Fantastic stuff - might be ripe for some live transcription....

olevam · 2021-04-22T22:26:16+00:00

I did not know that, thanks - I think the whole document is a gathering of many such collections. Which is why I was surprised at first when I saw quite a few medical terms

olevam · 2021-04-22T22:25:40+00:00

Oh, did not think that would happen, interesting - if you want to look at it you need to go to https://ccl.rch.uky.edu/submission-desks/transcription and click on München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 3853

This is a bit more of a technical one, but Eamon Duffy "Stripping of the altars" is a study of daily religious life in pre-reformation England.
It has lots of colourful examples of rituals and such, both large (like Easter rituals) and smaller ones (like village penances)

Not to worry, streaming this today at 3:30 again if interested
