This site is great, and fantastic timing. We're in a tiny town in the middle of Saskatchewan for the next month. Sadly the air quality from all the forest fires means we can hardly see the stars, but... now we know when to look for the

Last night, I was using voice for the first time in a few weeks, and it interrupted me and said, a bit aggressively... "I'm going to stop you right there. Let's keep the conversation focused on the topic we were covering or a

I put a day of careful thought into writing a cover letter for a job a few weeks ago. Knowing there is there was the potential of AI screening, I checked if it would get flagged. Every detection program I tried said the letter that I person

Freemium definition: A type of business model that offers basic features of a product or service to users at no cost and charges a premium for supplemental or advanced features. Yes, you can add on additional AI if you want it. But, the pro

I am a daily user of Affinity Publisher and regular user of Affinity Photo. I bought version 1 when it came out, upgraded to version 2, and upgraded this morning to the new, free version. This is NOT FREEMIUM as I understand the model, as i

Here's something that talks about it. I can't speak for the legitimacy, but I'm not pulling it out of my ass. They may be pulling it out of theirs. :-) https://lifearchitect.ai/gpt-6/

I've listened to so many interviews that I couldn't tell you who said what at this point, but that is what I understood from somewhere. So, sure, take it as speculation.

What I understand is that it's GPT 6 that just went into training, and that GPT 5 is complete and being delayed until after the U.S. election.

I imagine training people, and having everything I say be available in any language, matching my tonality, and being able to reach a global audience. I'm very much looking forward to this.

I agree. That's the sad part. I want super-intelligence to sound intelligent and not artificially brought down to our level. :-)

Someone, please ask OpenAI to stop artificially dumbing down ChatGPT by adding "um" to the audio output. I get that it is supposed to make it more human-like or something, but every time I hear it do that, I cringe and feel sad fo

I took a summer job as a painter and did some other contracting stuff in my 30s after being in tech my whole life. I went from setting my hours to getting up at 5 am to be picked up to go to a job site, working hard all day, coming home, an

Great! I look forward to it. The key for me is that it's a widget on the watch face. Glance at watch and with one click and I'm recording. If I have to fumble around with my phone or whatever to find and open an app, click a butto

Hi. I basically bought an Apple Watch for one app, Just Press Record. I'd love to see that kind of functionality added to your app, so I can always record my random thoughts, and it ends up summarized on my computer.

When this is an app I can use like Siri or Okay Google with an ElevenLab or equivalent voice, I will subscribe. Looking forward to this!

After building a few startups and working at a few, I spent a lot of years advising people who wanted to start a startup, and 99% of the time I told them not to waste their time and money. They massively underestimate how hard and expensive

Because I can do VR anywhere with multiple screens and bigger screens. I also have a large 4k curved monitor on a high quality arm on my standing desk, but I prefer working in VR from my couch. :-)

by gotrythis 4y ago
I like it. I setup a login just for working in VR. I get MUCH more done as I'm totally distraction-free, and it's much better for my neck, as I'm looking at the screens in front of me, instead of down at my laptop. Looking do

ManyCam got acquired last week or so. The new owners immediately changed lifetime to two years on the checkout page. Are you saying that previous lifetime owners only get two years now? By pure luck, I purchased ManyCam the day before the p

Also, I had no trouble with pairing the 85h with a MacBook, until I did. For example, it doesn't work with Zoom, but works for other things. And, it kept making my MacBook forget it has internal speakers. I documented and submitted abo

Thanks. Unfortunately, that's $94 CAD on Amazon, and more money to Jabra to get these headsets to work as advertised. I'm going to save my pennies and get the new Sony WH-1000XM5.

I have the Elite 85h, and it has the same problem, as well as about a dozen other problems when you connect it to a computer. Same response. But the sales letter for the product makes it clear that they do support computers. My last email t

I am currently alternate day fasting (ADF), which I'm finding very easy to do. Apparently the most popular form of ADF is a modified version where you can eat up to 500 calories on fasting days. I'm juicing on fasting days, which
