why don't all headphones have a mute button?

I rarely go back to past chats and find that I will just ask a similar question a second time because in all likelihood the answer will be better the second time.

I'm finding that I wish conversation threads in LLM tools worked more like tabs in arc, and just auto deleted after say 3 days.

Anyone else noticing that search engine results are increasingly terrible?

Mirroring code-switching on hover.

[gndclouds 🌿🍄🌎🍵 @gndclouds]

Mirroring code-switching -- side-by-side reading was thinking more of each pair of book pages being connected. I was able to get into a good flow, but maybe the English should only be visible on highlight.

[gndclouds 🌿🍄🌎🍵 @gndclouds]

Interlinear code-switching -- more fully translation-focused, seeing both languages at the same time. When trying it, I find I need to focus more on not defaulting to the English, which feels like cheating.

[gndclouds 🌿🍄🌎🍵 @gndclouds]

Progressive code-switching -- translation progressed in complexity based on word frequency and book length. This still feels like the most appealing learning curve when trying it.

Strange Harvests has been a wild collection of rabbit holes. Would recommend.

I'm finding that "design mode" is being overused and underdelivering. Many of the tools with some design mode remove agency through the abstraction of the tool into a prompt. We still need buttons and sliders sometimes.

Stick with things even when they’re uncomfortable; steady patience turns “this kinda sucks” into real progress with habits, skills, or long-term projects.

Anyone come across research on Variation Theory for dyslexic learners?

[gndclouds 🌿🍄🌎🍵 @gndclouds]

Not a perfect 1:1 translation, but a gradual introduction of a new language through inline context. Like how friends in college would seamlessly switch between multiple languages mid-conversation.

Been thinking a lot about interfaces that promote learning in new ways what if you started reading a book in one language and finished it in another?

@kepano to me, tts makes content more accessible. I think of the voices more like typefaces sure, some are better than others, but really it's just my entry point to consuming the content. Listening while annotating and then saving removes a lot of cognitive cruft for me.

[gndclouds 🌿🍄🌎🍵 @gndclouds]

@kepano I listen to everything I read, selecting text, triggering TTS, and annotating across separate interfaces is a lot of friction. would love to open the clipper, start listening, and focus on notes + highlighting all in one UI.
