I would trust a book written by a specialist over any LLM output, though

Converting PDFs into HTMLs or RFT/TXT docs witout OCR typos. Until recently, it was almost impossible to turn a scanned book from PDF into doc or TXT, because the output of copying and pasting or converting using PDF tools was illegible. AI now can do a “deep AI seek” (look it up) into the texts.

I am converting a textbook into an audiobook in HTML (paragraph highlighting with manual sync) with an integrated popup glossary into every word (with grammar and meaning) and dictionary lookup if clicked.

Besides, as an apendix to each chapter, I add all the explanations from the book.

I took the ~4 500 words of the book and asked for a grammar analysis and meaning lookup to create a glossary. The IA joyfully skipped many terms but that is something I will fix when each chapter is finished. Now I am being punished with waiting despite having paid $20.

If the EU had wanted to make a difference, they would have adopted the gold standard instead of a cheap dollar copy

I seldom take food to my workplace. I just go to a restaurant nearby. Around $18 for a three course meal (starter, main course and dessert) with 1,5 l of water and a coffee is actually a good deal after a 3-6 h working day

I miss incandescent bulbs and would install them if I had solar panels

We wouldn’t need such a battery development if we had simply invested in a standardised electrified wiring network for the motor roads. we would have lighter cars that charge their ~100 km battery while driving on the motor road so they can easily reach their destination
