It's ebonics, a slang or dialect version of using "are."

Ebonics, from the root ebony, meaning black-speak? I can't believe that's still acceptable.

a) This was probably just a typo for "being". b) Hey but at least you can learn something today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitual_be

Thank you.

When notebookLM was new, it was interesting to listen to the podcasts. Then the novelty wore off, and I wanted something where I can interact with the podcasters but it was janky as hell. My current “audio-learning” hack is ChatGPT Live which has become shockingly good after being awful compared to Claude Voice (Let’s not even talk about Gemini voice which is still bad). I go on a walk and dump a paper or article lin…

There is actually an interrupt mode in NotebookLM now. Overall I've found it the best AI product Google have. Only complaint I have about it is the hyper positive US corporate accents get pretty annoying pretty quickly. The realtime voice in ChatGPT is excellent, the newer model is a big step up too.

The new ChatGPT voice has a MASSIVE vocal fry, like to ridiculous levels.

It did tone it down when I asked though, but a crazy default.

Gaming’s home deserves to be on Linux. I know GabeN agrees with me, and he’s worked hard to make it happen.

It basically already is if you're not playing live service. Unfortunately I can't see MS ever making their catalogue of games workable with Proton, Riot won't as well since they won't budge on kernel level anti-cheat, and for God knows what reason Epic won't do so either (even though they're always pushing for open platforms???)

there’s a simple answer to all of these things that will cause the market to take care of it: simply increase the Linux gaming market size

and given how shitty Microsoft is treating everything lately, it won’t even be hard

I wondered when the name change was coming because this is Google: products be endlessly repackaged and renamed, some only to be killed later.

Isn't it just slang? Foobar be like ...

Guys google, I know enough people in the company to know how this decision was made, but I must say as a user if you rename or kill another thing I will stop using any Google service I still use. This might be the one time I might forgive it but guys please don't it's annoying.

You have an 100% chance joining r/degoogled then lol

I'm still annoyed the UX hasn't improved since launch. Its so much work to go and make yourself a podcast every day. This is why I built the ClawCast to ingest my newsletters, substacks, new sources etc. and send a podcast to my apple podcasts every morning.
