one of my favorite ways to read slowly as of late has been to read only until I find something to think about it takes a lot less time to get something out of what you read. higher utility density per word, and you can make sure you don't miss anything

seems like snowflake is on there now! but I have no idea how to read these results though. do either of you know if there's any way to know what EC2 instances snowflake is actually running behind the scenes? seems like cost is the only way to make a real comparison here

I nearly switched to iphone this year, but the one thing keeping me: Gemini + Kindle is an exceptional user experience. It has fundamentally changed how I read, particularly for esoterica Tap hold bottom bar -> select confusing section -> get answer from Gemini

Also very easy to just add it as a plugin. I actually use avante daily -- installation is just a matter of copying their code into a plugins directory.
