I cannot wait for Starship to become a real thing, but you have to admit it's way behind schedule. The engines are awesome now.

This it is very impressive. But scrolling through the preprint, I wouldn't call any of it elegant. I'm not blaming the model here, but Python is much easier to read and more univer…

I just tested it on a very difficult Raven matrix, that the old version of DeepThink, as well as GPT 5.2 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6, and pretty much every other model failed at. This ver…

I think good names and a good file structure are the most important thing to get right here.

Totally understand, thanks for being a customer. I'm sorry we weren't able to make the web version as smooth as we wanted to. We do plan to support Linux. This was probably a littl…

I think Aqua v1 had two problems: 1. The models weren't ready. 2. The interactions were often strained. Not every edit/change is easy to articulate with your voice. If 1 had been o…

you've got nothing to worry about here. if firebase studio can make a todo app, i'd be surprised. this is the worst "vibe coding" tool i've ever used.

We can do that, with some help from the community.

thanks! I share the same sentiment. I remember thinking in college how annoying it was that I was reading low-resolution, marked-up, skewed, b&w scans of a book using Adobe Acrobat…

Aqua is in another league when it comes to accuracy. I just ran them side by side on a simple q to ChatGPT and here were the results... Aqua Voice What is the first recorded eclips…

thanks! We're working on iOS, but it's tough to get the ergos right given all of Apple's restrictions and neglected APIs.

I was excited to try this out because I've had a lot of trouble getting the Supabase integrations to work on Lovable and Bolt.new. Sorry to say that Firebase Studio did an awful jo…

We're building something different, but there is some overlap. Aqua is built for max speed, while keeping accuracy high. To achieve that, inference runs in a datacenter (for now). …

Thanks! We're faster, more accurate, and have a streaming option. Aqua can go from key-up to paste in as little as 450ms. Flow was closer to 1000 in our tests. Overall, you'll noti…

We're more accurate and much faster than Mac Whisper, even their strongest model (Whisper Cpp Large V3). For that benchmarking table, you can use Whisper Large V3 as a stand-in for…

Shoot, might be due to AirPods mic init latency. AirPods work well on Desktop (though their mic quality isn't the best).

Hey HN - It’s Finn and Jack from Aqua Voice ( https://withaqua.com ). Aqua is fast AI dictation for your desktop and our attempt to make voice a first-class input method. Video: ht…

This is well written. I appreciated the line, "startups are a race to learn stuff."

Files-to-prompt has been a surprisingly useful tool for this kind of workflow. https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt
