this idea that government regulation is the problem and the companies need economic incentives to self regulate is a religion around here, and after incredible amounts of evidence that is untrue, like all religions, it’s practitioners have made zero changes to their opinion.
There is exactly zero evidence that any religion isn’t true. How could there be? Evolution can’t disprove the existence of God.

More proof that software engineering isn't real engineering. If a civil engineer made a mistake that bad in my country, he'd likely lose his engineering licence.
Software lost that status in the vibe coding era. It's an art form now, not necessarily something worse or easier, just different than engineering. But probably not the career path anymore for those who prefered math over philosophy in college.

I'm definitely biased as the developer, but maybe try https://whistle-enterprise.com and see how it works for you. It's a hard problem I've been working away on for a while now. It's far from perfect but every step brings it a bit closer.
Seems interesting. What would you say are the biggest missing points currently or things you want to get working/improved but couldn't yet?
Two more improvements, audio quality improvements which is currently in the works and close to release and a new document generation model. I'm currently using a custom fine tuned Phi-4 (released December 2024!) model, that's _so old_ in the grand scheme of LLMs, I just haven't had time to benchmark and properly test some new models whilst this currently does a good job as it is. There has to be some gains here, but who knows!
It's hilarious how these companies handle security breaches. I once reported superadmin user/pass committed to github at a major YC backed background check company I worked at and everyone tried to make it seem like it was my fault . I had just started working there and found it in the first week. Anyway, had to show that it was committed by their main Staff engineer 2 years before I even worked there. For 2 years ev…

> He responded within minutes: "thank you! can you report it to our CTO and we will look at it immediately?" Why could he not speak to HIS ceo himself instead of asking Bob to
OK, the issue sucks. That said, the post was written by an LLM and It's not pleasant to read. If I didn’t work with Claude every day, I might feel differently, but because I do, this reads like slop.
