From time to time I find a dive into the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy useful for refreshing my memory on some ideas and concepts.

Also the MDN Learning Area is really useful for getting a handle on some web development details.

What others are you fond of, whether esoteric or exoteric*?

one of my other favorites is any sort of thesaurus that provides antonyms, 'cause some antonyms just aren't as commonly used!

🤞 this federates properly this time (sorry if the old post eventually emerges, I initially posted this shortly after the Lemmy update kinda threw a wrench in things across instances)

I like to use GPT4 as a tutor.

It needs to be told to be factual and quote its sources, but man is it awesome to have it explain complex things in ways that I can easily grasp them.

This is not to be confused with GPT3.5 which is like a toy, while GPT4 is a tool.

Microsoft Copilot now has free GPT4 (I have not tested that version all that well): copilot.microsoft.com

Its* sources.

I'd like to blame autocorrect but it was probably just me 😅 Fixed.
