🎥 "Her"#
- Last Saturday, I spent some time revisiting Her. In this era of ChatGPT, it is amazing to see that people had such beautiful visions of AI ten years ago. I highly recommend it to friends who haven't seen it. Unlike other dystopian sci-fi films, this film is very beautiful and light-hearted in Spike Jonze's hands. After watching it, I took the time to recreate one of the AI character's small animations, which I found interesting.
📒 Heptabase#
- On Sunday, I couldn't resist subscribing to Heptabase. I tried using it for a week and it feels really good. I spent a few hours organizing a book I finished reading last week on it, and it really guided me in thinking about the relationships between each card, allowing me to have a more systematic understanding of a topic.
🗒️ AI Diary#
- Inspired by @MoneyXYZ this week, I also started trying to write a diary using ChatGPT. Compared to simply writing a diary on paper, this process is much better because you don't need to try to summarize every thing you did that day afterwards, how to connect them, and so on. This was a painful process at the beginning, but with the help of AI, you only need to chat with GPT after doing something you think is worth recording. At the end of each day, it will help you summarize the day and give you an evaluation or some suggestions. Of course, how you play with it depends on your prompt. The digitalization also has the advantage that you can combine it with various automation tools, such as automatically putting the to-do items you say every day into the corresponding to-do list software, or automatically putting the articles you see into your bookmarks, and so on. Of course, this idea is not limited to the form of chatting with GPT. I also thought of a new idea, which is to record daily trivial matters on a Notion page, or automatically get the tasks you completed daily from your todoist, and then use n8n's automated workflow to organize them into a diary every day. If I have any new ideas later, I might talk about them separately.
🖥️ English by default#
- I officially started gradually practicing "English by default", and the first step was to change the language of some commonly used electronic devices around me to English.
🐟 Slacking off#
- On Friday afternoon, I didn't feel like fixing bugs in the business, so I fixed a bug in GitHubPoster and made a PR for fun. 😁
🤖 Engineering ChatGPT#
- Another interesting point is that more and more companies are starting to engineer ChatGPT to assist engineers in their daily development. Prompts have become company-owned assets, and their value is even equivalent to code.
