Microsoft is not alone in this. Apple does the same thing!

There is Siri on iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, Apple TV, and CarPlay and are all different different incarnation of Siri (with different capabilities). Then there is everything else like the Siri Remote, Siri Suggestions (and all their types: Siri apps suggestions, Maps, keyboard, Share Sheet, etc), Siri Shortcuts, and Siri Knowledge (WolframAlpha + Wikipedia + other databases?).

I'm sure 75% of these will be rebranded "Apple Intelligence" by the end of the year...

> Iron Dome relied on these radars — all blind now.

Iron Dome’s primary fire-control radar is the Israeli EL/M-2084 Multi-Mission Radar, not the USA’s AN/FPS-132

Typo from speech to text, corrected: “I guess Anthropic’s system prompt didn't work. If folks are having to add it manually into their own Claude.md files...”

I guess our system prompt didn't work. If folks are having to add it manually into their own Claude.md files...

Composite video out like an early Raspberry Pi

I just remembered that it came with a Yo-Yo charger! Fun times!

Ha! That 800x600 screen was the first thing I remembered about it, that the composite (or s-video) out…

Oh memories! The iBook SE was the first Mac I had.

This was pre-Mac OS X. The thing had a terrible 800x600px screen but still it was my gateway to decades of Macs.

The switch to Unix in MacOS X cemented their place in my life.

I will totally deny that the Macs in Independence Day and Mission Impossible were major influences on my juvenile mind to switch to the Mac.

Please rethink the “edited” bit on accessibility grounds.

I have a kid with severe written language issues, and the utilisation of speech to text with a LLM-powered edit has unlocked a whole world that was previously inaccessible.

I would hate to see a culture that discourages AI assistance.

Speech to text

Title literally says “AI-edited comments”.

I have a kid with severe written language issues, and the utilisation of STT w/ a LLM-powered edit has unlocked a whole world that was previously inaccessible.

What is amazing is it would have remained so just a couple of years ago!

I’m sure a key KPI is engagement.

Depends on the context ;-)

I wonder what the breakdown is between AI-generated comments and AI-assisted comments. If I write anything substantial, I run it through the following prompt: "Please rewrite the following message for clarity, spelling, and grammar, but only return the revised text without any additional commentary."

100%! I thought it was going to be way shittier. Suspect a budget > $1M was spent.

Microcenter is good if you are in a pinch and want to quickly grab a Raspberry Pi. +1 for Robotshop too! Pololu is way underrated and has the fastest shipping I’ve ever seen.

+1 Sparkfun which used to carry Actobitics (another US company), also high up is Pololu for anything motor driver / power conversion related.

The only way to not go bankrupt is to use a Claude Code Max subscription…

I'm 100% for this, but I think you can go even more granular than "gives agents their own inboxes".

Thanks to Action Mailbox in Rails[1], I give all my records email addresses. Eg let ecommerce "order" records accept forwarded emails that are pinned as comments. It opens you up for doing things like forwarding a purchase order and having the PO number pulled out and attached to an order, or forwarding tracking information from a supplier and having it attached to a "supplier order" etc.

In my personal life I have individual email addresses for all my utilities and emails automatically get filed away.

If this idea tickles your fancy, I opensourced Emitt[2], an inbound email processing server with LLM-powered automation.

Deepgram is really good for diorization. And speech to text, but they're not as good as the others for text to speech.

ElevenLabs is awesome for speech generation (nothing beats it), but their speech to text is terrible especially for voice activity detection.

Nope, but Apple released the python lib "coremltools"[1] and it can do the conversion. It supports the conversion of PyTorch, TF/TF Lite, ONNX etc...

@dang the founder/op’s responses seem to be getting flagged erroneously

Paul and Robin were awesome to work with and it was disappointing to see them stop handling their own distribution, but I totally understand the desire to move away from even just the mental overhead involved.

I've just started blogging about the random work I do over there. As a rule of thumb, I’m aiming to provide one artifact (eg open-source code) or some tangible value that readers can take away from each post.

This is better than what I've thrown together, 100% recommend, would have used it if I'd known about it!

100% inspired by Monodraw.

1. It just removes the char

2. CC + minor tweaks by hand.

3. Yup, go nuts, view source and pull it apart.
