wow, great partnership for Work Louder but man, I have a micropad from work louder, it's basically just a weird layout for a macropad.

yeah, any of the AI bots are bad at helping me find clothes b/c they don't even consider my size, gender, or anything when suggesting things after like 3 back and forth messages (this is both ChatGPT and Claude).

I went to the apple.com homepage, literally zero mentions of Apple Intelligence, just a dropdown option under iPhone's menu items.

Chromebook, Pixelbook, Googlebook.

Google loves to just remake the same-ish thing again in hopes of adoption.

every once in awhile I'm reading a Pulitzer winner (esp. fiction) and at the beginning I'm thinking "how did this win that year?" and then by the end of the book I think "wow, I've never read anything like this before"

:D that's like my Claude where it loves to point out that I have an ADU in the backyard in unrelated situations.

I've stopped trusting these "trust me bro" benchmarks and just started going to LM Arena and looking for the actual benchmark comparisons.

it seems like Slate might be trying that but there's no real cars from them yet so they're just renders at this point. but yes, same concept but printers is my wish.

does anyone have recommendations on replacing CC with something else for around $20-30 / month?

I left cursor and went back to VS Code b/c the editing experience is basically the same and cursor was adding more and more agentic features which don't appeal to me. I'm a happy Claude Code user and having my code separate from the planning/brainstorming part of the task makes implementing its own step with me driving/writing the code.

but you'd wait only long enough for a version that's good enough, not forever.

because they're brand fonts, none of them feel great to write more than a headline with

Is your phone connected to the router through a cable or wirelessly?

I want something like this for Plex, where I can just turn it on and have some of my favorite shows play random episodes, and I wish Plex made that easy to do.

I was using Wisper Flow and had a pretty bad experience with their support related to billing and so I started building my own version of a speech to text app, it's very doable with Parakeet and Whisper models available now. I've got the app working on mac and it's been so much easier to make progress on it with AI available now.

I'm not sure I'll be putting it out there because it feels like there's already 100s of these apps out there so I don't feel strongly about it.

interestingly, Claude has been doing this for me a lot but most often just saying this like "Looks like your coworker was misunderstanding this feature..." not really shifting blame but more like pointing out things

yeah, ~1B active users + when non-tech people think of AI, they think of "ChatGPT" not many of the competitors.

Wait till you move over to something like Kagi. It's really like an elevated experience when it comes to search. At first it's just less ads and none of that Google BS, but then eventually you start to use their other features. You realize, search could have moved in this direction a long time ago if Google wasn't motivated by ads.

I'm color blind, and those colors look very similar to me. I could not tell if it was green or red or something else. Please use something like blue and red.

and no ai fluff to start or end the answer, just facts straight to the point.

A few thoughts about Block as I've worked there before:

- the company thrives on long term projects that seem to fizzle out as engineers get frustrated and leave

- there are way too many MBAs and finance people now compared to the early years where building was prioritized.

- jack is only doing part time at Block, early days he was around to chat and work with varying levels of hands on

- they've overhired and over-committed to losing projects, worst of all they've de-prioritized projects that were pretty innovative because traction wasn't there quick enough for them to justify them, e.g. terminal, POS specifically for restaurants, localization for EU

- they operate on docs and in the time of AI, the workforce is inundated with slop

- also, I hate that jack can't be bothered to capitalize anything like it's cool. come on man, you're firing 4000 people, not tweeting memes

Yeah, I have a Facebook that's about 2-3 years old now, and I use it mainly from Marketplace. But man, if I just accidentally go to the feed, it's just a bunch of spam and some sort of bait, whether it's rage bait or thirst traps or anything like that. Facebook is maybe trying to see if I'll engage with it, but mainly because I use the app for Marketplace, it just continues to recommend garbage.

please add in the keyboard shortcuts to navigate, that's one of my favorite things about native desktop apps

I love TUIs and I love the way this looks and the concept behind it, but often I'm doing household stuff on my phone because I'm walking around checking on things or just taking photos of things.

I remember this was back in 2023, when ChatGPT had first launched, and I had a manager whose English was not very good. He started sending emails that felt like they were written by a copywriter. And the messaging was so hard to parse through because there's so much ChatGPT fluff around it. Very quickly we realized that what he was saying was usually in the middle somewhere, but we'd have to read through the intro and the ending of the emails just so that we couldn't miss anything. It felt like wasting 2-3 extra minutes per team member.

man, I want to support something like Zulip, I would even want to work on a product like this but one thing I'd say is you have to go back and study why Slack beat Hipchat and others. It's so simple in hindsight but it was the marketing and the UI/UX of Slack that made it so much easier to use. If you'd like, I have a ton of ideas and experience building UIs and would love to give you some of my input. Too much typing for a comment at the moment.

does anyone know if there's any desktop tools I can use this transcription model with? e.g. something where like Wisper Flow/WillowVoice but with custom model selection

I want a bright lamp like this but not for $1200...any suggestions?

links are broken to cloudflare and vercel. who's writing these...

I'm seeing the image on zen which is a firefox fork but not on firefox itself :/

even with `image.jxl.enabled` I don't see it on firefox

I'm going to start doing this with Rufus too
