ABEND dump #26

Welcome to the ABEND dump #26!

Don’t know what is an “ABEND dump”?! I’m glad you asked.

You can check the previous ABEND dump here:

This is WILD! This is what I want AI for, a truly relevant use case. I feel like there’s so much potential for applications in medicine. What a time to be alive!

I know, I know. There’s plenty of reasons to be wary about AI, but let’s be positive for a moment, this is truly good and magical!

And speaking of which...

Sid Sijbrandij, former GitLab CEO, is fighting an osteosarcoma (a rare bone cancer). He’s open-sourcing his experimental treatment data to help advancing cancer research.

Sid rocks!

“When the product is free, you are the product” -- in the AI era, this sentence never made more sense than now.

This got me thinking.

I forgot to recommend this book in the previous issue.

Last year I got hooked into the Zettelkasten system to organize my thoughts in a digital world, but it was simply too complex to grasp, and what really made it work for me was following the PARA Method presented by Tiago Forte in Building a Second Brain book.

I may write more about it here, eventually.

There’s a version of this book written in portuguese too, which was the one I read.
