Woke up hungry for ribs. Bae and I checked out Sunset Texas Barbecue in Kakaako. Located in one of the warehouses along Cooke Street in Kakaako neighborhood, it can easily be missed. As someone that has had ribs from travels around the US. These are really fall off the bone savory sweet ribs. However this is the first time I have had ribs served with rice. And I am not sure I am fond of the type of beans they use, but sauce was good.

AI Book Organization

If you follow me regularly, you know my irritations of not really having a serious use for ChatGPT. It does not offer anything as amazing as the hype it's given. I am sure it's a amazing tool for coders. But using it for assistance for novice writing (horrible if not dangerous since it deleted everything due to crashing.) I also find the graphics creation cringe for novice users.

But I have some learned some new ways to approach AI. The best advice was to not use it as a direct tool, use it more like a new co-worker that knows absolutely nothing. This really sums up how it functions. You explain in detail what you need done and it will do it. But you will have to continue to review everything it does until it can perform well enough on it's own. If you trust it. So if you have some sort of repetative workflow it's wonderful after you have done the work in showing it how to do it. But to actually work out your problems, your shit out of luck.

Google has some assistant tools already specficifally coded that really provide excellent use over anything else I have seen. I highly recommend signing up for a NotebookLM account. I keep telling one of my friends that is working on an additional degree to use it. It will speed run any knowledge consumption in ways likely never considered. You can even have it create a radio show that discusses the content to fall asleep to or create cards to test your knowledge.

One tip that actually worked fairly well that was useful, asking it to review a photo of books and provide a bibliographic list in APA format. It actually looked up the books and pulled in the additional information as well. But not suprising to me, the first try, it actually gave me what looked to me someone else's list. It was a completely different list of books, clearly from someone else's information. Also, it was an odd list selection as well, it was spooky. But I made a second prompt for the photo and it created the list below based on the photo provided. 

Note that it left out some books. It cannot read "ideas" title on the spine. And added a book not shown in the photo. See if you even notice it...
