Leverage is great when prices are increasing, but not when prices are moving in the opposite direction. The recent 40-year trend of decreasing interest rates lulled a lot of people into the belief that real estate leverage is an unalloyed good.

I agree, absolutely love my reMarkable for those reasons, as well as not needing to manage the _annoying_ physical properties of paper (storage, organization) any more

This was my gut reaction as well as an eInk enthusiast, but I think the author is looking for something quite different. As much as the rM is a calmer, slower-paced device by design, it's still a device with a screen that doesn't have the same physical affordances and spatial flexibility as pieces of paper.

They don't have an app store but they have quietly released an SDK, so maybe that will happen at some point: https://developer.remarkable.com/documentation/sdk

RSS is actually one of my favourite uses for the tablet; I built a little service that builds a pdf "newspaper" twice daily and sends it to Google Drive. Very nice to read my feeds on the rM2 instead of a glowing screen

Hi, hyperpaper creator here– sorry it didn't work for you :(

Just curious if there were any problems specifically with the planner, or if it was just the fact that the rM really didn't work for you at all? Always looking to improve it and fill in any gaps in the product.

Also when did you try it? Because I will admit the first version was definitely clunky

It's heavily inspired by Arc

"The band released several unheralded albums in the '70s but never reached the height of 1969 again"

That's a questionable take– "There's a Riot Goin On" (1971) and Fresh (1973) are both absolute classics and highly influential

I've been using "pdfcpu optimize" as a post-processing step for dynamically generated pdfs for several years now. Simple, well-documented, and fast. I've been very happy with it

He actually addressed this recently: https://bsky.app/profile/simonwillison.net/post/3leuuhotnpk2...

I will add a +1 to your recommendation as well, his blog has been my favourite way to keep up with the AI landscape over the last 18 months. Just the right level of detail and technical depth for me

Easily one of the best sites on the internet, in my opinion

Thanks for the heads up! That page is normally very fast but I can reproduce those images loading slowly. Will investigate...
