As someone who has worked with speech to text, I can tell you from personal experience that audio seems to be broken across the ecosystem. Bluetooth as an example is very buggy. Siri, as a voice-to-voice intelligence, fails to work most of

I used to love dark mode, but in the summer months, I came to feel that it's overly depressive, possibly affecting my mood. In the winter months, it's slightly more usable because of association with lower lighting, darkness and e

Sign-up / in via the power-button in the top-right! It's a really simple game. You can use geneva:interface to play. Hopefully, it is the best chat-interface out there for winning (not just playing). State-of-the-art, voice-first

Thanks! I use Athens as a personal voice-memo copilot. It’s much harder to use it for sharing ideas with others; e.g. for presentation… It’s voice-first so you have to express what you’re trying to communicate solely via speech to text. I t

Got it — it’s interesting how a text model can generate compelling visual representations that are essentially style-matching. Matching styles using vision models is not that easy, especially if you want to capture the core subject of the p

Is it using a model to generate the ASCII art? It’s quite clever.

I know it’s an aside but I’m so impressed with the quality of this (linked) page: https://capsul.org/ The UX is exceptionally strong. It’s like you’re on a ‘real website’ — it’s quite enveloping in terms of its vibe, palett

This is a really understated point — especially for western democratic societies. I would argue that we should not be supportive of regimes (e.g. Israeli Likud) that are accused of violent hostility to war reporting and journalists. Without

Hey — working on Athens — it’s a messaging-interface primarily but it does fulfill a lot of these checkpoints — the interface is voice-first and VAD is handled pretty well! Open Banking connection is coming for advanced correlation between

I use Granola, I’m not affiliated with them. They create detailed meeting notes from whatever I type during the meeting, it uses the transcript and AI to flesh out my notes. It’s a great idea and their tiering is nice. 25 meetings free iirc

Hi HN! This is me publishing some of my recent thoughts in relation to infra (tech as well as public) and how that intersects with economics. The article (playlist) itself was recorded via the athens interface - which is something I'm

I have also used Rhodia notebooks in the past. I think they are manufactured in France. Which for me is a plus since one assumes the manufacturing process is kinder and to a high standard. Rhodia pricing is also really good!

This is a serious point. I knew dozens of high-skilled tech-based Europeans who left the UK due to Brexit and felt both hurt and offended.
