What knowledge management tools do you use? I’ve used DevonThink and Evernote, but I am considering a move to Notion and/or Roam. What do you think?

LegoGPT, an LLM-based system that generates physically stable LEGO structures from text prompts, backed by a new 47,000+ sample dataset and physics-aware filtering during inference. → LegoGPT is trained on a custom dataset, StableText2Lego, which includes 47,000+ 3D LEGO models mapped to text, spanning 28,000+ unique objects. → The model predicts LEGO bricks sequentially like tokens, using next-token prediction in a transformer setup. → To ensure physical stability, LegoGPT integrates physics-aware rollback and validity filtering, pruning out structurally invalid brick placements. → The generated designs are aesthetically aligned with prompts, physically buildable, and tested both with human manual assembly and robotic arms. → The team also introduced a text-driven LEGO coloring/texturing pipeline, enabling more expressive and customized outputs. → The dataset, code, and models are all publicly released under an open-access license.

Again, based on population, Canada divided into 6 states would elect 12 senators and 42 house members.

Combined, Canada would represent 54 Electoral College votes. Given that the average Canadian is more progressive than the average American, how many seats would go to Democrats? We don't want it, and it's bad for you. Sorry, it won't work.
