NotebookLM isn’t just for students. Here are 4 ways I use it in my daily life

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-14 01:00:43

Andy Walker / Android Authority I consider myself a generative AI skeptic, with my initial interest in the technology turning into frustration and distrust. But there’s one tool that has genuinely impressed me over the past few months: NotebookLM. Its power lies in the ability for you to set custom sources that the service’s chatbot draws information from — leading to better quality responses compared with many of the other tools I’ve experimented with.

RSS Beat Microsoft

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 01:50:01

People like to tell the story of how VHS beat Betamax because adult film studios backed VHS. It’s a clutch-your-pearls story that says nothing about why these multi-million-dollar businesses picked one format over the other. The real story is that while Betamax tapes had better resolution and fidelity, VHS was cheaper, offered longer recordings, and, most importantly, was the more open format. Not many people talk about how or why RSS won the content syndication war because few people are aware

Formatting code should be unnecessary

Formatting code should be unnecessary and we knew this back in the 80s I had a (maybe slightly overqualified) computer science teacher back in highschool, Mr. Paige. He worked on the Ada compiler and has been programming since the early 80s. One day I complained about linter tooling that was driving me nuts. I said something to the effect of, "it's 2016, how are we still dealing with this sort of thing?" Turns out, that problem was solved four decades ago (well, three at that point). Back wh

Requiem for an Exit

Between 1994 and 2004, Frode Oldereid and Thomas Kvam created a series of robotic installations exploring the intersections between technology, ideology, and collective memory. These robots evoked the aesthetics of political mass movements, echoing the fractured language of 20th-century totalitarianisms and its countercultures. Two decades later, the artists revisit these themes in Requiem for an Exit. At the center of the installation stands a towering robotic figure, four meters tall—a skelet
