my idem just mulled over our convos last night and proactively suggested this super useful workflow for my language learning. pretty neat!

Went down a rabbit hole on where US state names come from and ended up making a map hehe Texas is Caddo, Alaska is Aleut, New Mexico is Spanish + Nahuatl. I also included origins for every state so you can read what they mean! (link to the map below)

He hecho un mapa de las lenguas minoritarias que se hablan en España además de las más conocidas. Enlace abajo.

Hot take: paying for a workout app feels pointless now, and expensive as shit. I use my personal AI assistant, idem, to build my workouts and track my progress for free. I’m not sure what a workout app gives me that I can’t already get from idem.

Did you know Barcelona built a hotel that could hold 2,000 guests in 1888, then demolished it the next year? I built a page with idem where you can find out about that and other lost oddities below 👇

Idem proactively went back and scheduled a meeting for me after an OpenAI was having model issues that blocked it from being able to schedule. Amazing stuff!

If your personal AI agent doesn't let you download your files perhaps you need to find a new agent.

As a language learner, one of my favourite things to do is read books. I made this assisted reader for all levels for Chekhov’s The Lady with the Dog to help me read in Russian. Click words for meanings and grammar, translate passages, or listen paragraph by paragraph. You can also save vocab and export it as a CSV to import into Anki. Link below, it's completely free with no signup. If there's any feature you'd like me to add lmk!
