David SmithI'm working on reviving my old podcast searching system using OpenAI's Whisper engine (https://github.com/openai/whisper).
The results so far are amazing. I can run the transcription right on my Mac at roughly 5X realtime, and the accuracy is super impressive. It even gets brand names and weird words right nearly every time.
For example, this segment from The Talk Show where @marcoarment and @gruber argue about how to pronounce databases was perfectly transcribed, down the even the mispronunciations. 🤯
Becky HansmeyerTHIS.👇🏻 Every single time my kids ask me if I can download a game for them, all I want to do is see what kind of in-app purchases it has. That information needs to be better organized and more prominently displayed.

Christian SeligIt never ceases to amaze me that you can be stuck on a problem for 2 days, say “screw it I’m going for a walk around town” and then solve it fifteen minutes into the walk.
mccThe great thing about vector math programming is you can have off-by-one errors in multiple dimensions simultaneously
Adam ConoverEveryone is asking "What's the next Twitter going to be" and bemoaning the fact that the userbase is splintering. But splintering is a GOOD thing. The internet would be a lot healthier, more diverse, in instead of 3 or 4 dominant platforms, we had dozens or even hundreds of upstarts. Yes, centralization is convenient, but as we're seeing, it's also dangerous. If the result of the Twitter turmoil is to drive people to a more diverse, less convenient, less centralized web, I say AWESOME.
Marco ArmentJust verified with a Twitter test account:
Twitter is now blocking all links to well-known Mastodon instances (including mastodon.social and hachyderm.io) from being tweeted or added to profiles.
Best-case, a heuristic is broken, and it probably has no staff to run it anymore. That's my most optimistic theory, and even I'm not naive enough to believe it at this point.
“Free speech", my ass.
Freedom doesn't hide alternatives from you or try to prevent you from leaving.
Wow, this would be a huge shift if it pans out. The nature of the App Store has been one of Apple’s biggest vulnerabilities and the point of a lot of criticism from developers. Opening to third parties would change the entire landscape. (And, honestly, I think for the better.) https://sixcolors.com/link/2022/12/bloomberg-apple-planning-to-change-course-allow-third-party-app-stores-and-more/
