#Weeknote

Intro

I’ve started trying to take up this week notes habit for a while anyway. Inspired by Simon Willison’s now defunct habit, I’m going to try keep this up for a while. I’ll try out a few different ways of doing it but for now the main will be to take what I’ve read in Readwise Reader, highlighted in Readwise, and noted down in Obsidian and try collate them all to one post. Rough and ready is what they’ll be until I can figure out what I’m doing.

Other than that I’ve read lots of the roundup posts this week which cover a lot of AI stuff. I don’t understand a lot of the technical details of it all but going forward I’m going to rely more on Anki to help get an understanding of some of these technical topics so I can maybe start understanding and be able to read the more technical ones. Of course understanding is nothing without using so more doing things is on the cards. I see a few using tools repos where they’ve created repos with loads of random tools for random things and that is probably one of the best ways of using AI. Get it to do what it is good at which is a small defined tool and scale linearly rather than a monolith that grows over and over. I want to think more about that though
