I have been using VoiceFlow. It works incredibly well and uses Groq to transcribe using the Whisper V3 Turbo model. You can also use it in an offline scenario with an on-device mod…

I tried this prompt with all the major AI models that I know and have installed, and only GLM from Z.ai and Gemini 3 Flash could answer it. Even in that case, Gemini 3 Flash gave a…

I really think Mathacademy has kinda cracked the pedagogy problem in the math space. I've been following Justin Skycak on X and love how they approach the perennial problem of lear…

Can we please have a discussion based solely on the content of the article? I know we all hate Microsoft's business practices, but let's try to limit our tendency to turn the discu…

I'm aware of adding domains one by one, but I want to add some lists like Hagezi Threat Intelligence Feed which is not available in the blocklists, and these blocklists have >500k …

my biggest gripe with NextDNS is not having an ability to add custom blocklists. I'd gladly pay for it even if there was a paid tier with this feature.

Parental controls on Android are a bit more complicated and require another Google account. I'll take the latter route. I'll just install something like Firefox Focus, which clears…

This stopped for me ever since I disabled uBlock Origin after buying YouTube Premium. So maybe they are intentionally or unintentionally sabotaging video playback with adblockers.

This looks really interesting. I am not in North American region and hence this would be slow from my region. But nonetheless interesting project. Have you documented the entire se…

I often use it for self controlling my Hacker News and Reddit addiction.

If you're going to pay for YouTube, then at least VPN to a 3rd world country for cheaper YT Premium subscription.

Change VPN to India and signup YT Premium individual for less than $2/month, or share Family plan with 5 people for less than $1/month. I'm sure even VPN + YT Premium would be chea…
