I wondered when the name change was coming as NotebookLM felt a bit out of place brand-wise. Still would have been killer if they called it "Bard Notebook"
I wondered when the name change was coming because this is Google: products be endlessly repackaged and renamed, some only to be killed later.

What file type do you need?
python (.py) JavaScript are main but ideally all file types so I can just drop a folder into the notebook and Gemini can go explore.
NotebookLM got moved one step closer to the abattoir.
When notebookLM was new, it was interesting to listen to the podcasts. Then the novelty wore off, and I wanted something where I can interact with the podcasters but it was janky as hell. My current “audio-learning” hack is ChatGPT Live which has become shockingly good after being awful compared to Claude Voice (Let’s not even talk about Gemini voice which is still bad). I go on a walk and dump a paper or article lin…
It seems Google is repeating it's mistakes of chat apps (they had gazillions of those at some point) with AI. There are just way too many tools that they are pushing. And none of them address the glaring issue that most of their users end up using Codex or Claude Cowork instead. Google is failing hard at convincing their own users that they are as good. They seem to have a lot of fragmented efforts that don't really…
It’s just a product of how Google is organized, it’s very distributed with less top down product management than other organizations.
It’s interesting that they still haven’t seen reason enough to fix this, I can only assume it works well for them in other ways.
“Google is failing hard at convincing their own users that they are as good.”
It’s interesting as they very quickly caught up after their own “code red” a few years back, and ever since seem to be going full Google and fragmenting themselves into irrelevance.
They do have their tensor processors, though, so they have a huge advantage there.

Me: Ok so I'm going on a walk. I'll dump a link to a Hacker News discussion about an article. You have to read the article and the discussion and walk me thru all the interesting details, nugget by nugget, and move on when I'm ready for the next piece. ChatGPT Live: ok, Great show me the link, I'm waiting. (I paste the link) Me: Ok I pasted it. Now go. ==== For the Socratic quiz I say: I want to understand this more…
To each their own, but for me - that'd be a heavy cognitive load. I ask Claude or ChatGPT to summarize HN comments and the article and provide any takeaways or wisdom nuggets. That's it.

notebook LM is still much much better at not hallucinating compared to claude and chatgpt.

Moving mind in a moving body. Maybe the future of coding really is a philosophical debate with a dhjinn.. i like this a lot. bravo. I actually can see this as advertisement USP. Some lone hiker going up a mountain through nature to a peak, while the city in the valley below far away becomes functional again because of what is said in that debate about .. walking for ideas - hunted down savanna mode similar to Darwin…

lets expand on this idea.. augment reality overlay showing the resulting code in what you are looking at.. persistence is the ground.. model + business logic is the surroundings.. API is in the clouds..
