Ah sorry! I'm going to downweight this thread now.

There's so much demand around this, people are just super eager to get the information. I can understand why, because it was my favorite talk as well :)

The video is now up and on the front page of HN:

How soon? I am contemplating whether to read this errorful transcript or wait for the video

anything you'd want fixed immediately? happy to do so – or even take this down if you wish. it's your talk.

Is this because it was recorded with AI tooling rather than a traditional note taker?

it was an audio recording, transcribed with speech to text models. there's definitely some errors and words lost. I also tried to emphasize this

Thanks for the clarification. Bit ironic given the talk’s subject. It is quite a bit of effort, but there’s something to say for going through and manually writing up the transcript like a journalist. Sometimes you can’t beat human effort ;)

What about a middle ground? Speech-to-text AI with manual corrections?

That’s a great approach! That’s what I meant to convey if I had been a bit more articulate. I assume journalists do exactly that. Takes away some laborious work while retaining accuracy.
