The only OAuth I'm comfortable with is Github.

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. Si…

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 …

I view the optimisation of GPU energy-consumption as an important state of the art problem. I think it's really interesting to look at how the GPU market is evolving. TensorPool [1…

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 …

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…

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,…

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 qu…

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…

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 Ba…

I built Athens as a decision copilot. It's pretty good for debugging. I've never come across a bug I haven't resolved yet using it. Definitely recommend it. It's currently called G…

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…

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 reco…

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 s…

I’ve been a customer of Phind for a number of months now, so I’m familiar with the capabilities of all the models they offer. I found even Phind-70B to often be preferable to Claud…

Working on a voice-interface for messaging. Type-free and voice-first with GPT-4o-mini baked in. Dolby Enhancements on the audio, too. I’m using it personally as a transcribed voic…

I’ve struggled with improving my executive functioning. I think it can be negatively affected by mental health issues and can take time to recover and get back to parity. I’ve foun…

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.

Not sure if you’ve heard of Privateer, which generates a viz. of all satellites functional or otherwise. It’s in a similar vein. https://wayfinder.privateer.com/
