Probably worth trying one of the many dictation apps out there based on whisper. They can get most coding terms(lib names, tech stack names) accurately and its one of those things you have to really try for a week before dismissing fully. 1

There are direct prompt tests and then there are tests with tooling. If for example you use controlnets you can pretty much get very close to a style composition that you need with an open model like Flux that will be far better. Flux has a

For a lot of basic applications that do not need a lot of the extended browser APIs, Tauri is an amazing option. Consistency isn't really required in a lot of use cases. You just want things to work, you have a small team and Tauri wor

Just came here to say, the demo video was awesome! Refreshing to neither see a loom recording or a high budget video set in a Japandi architecture style office designed to go viral.

Great coverage. I was first hesitant to watch the 1hr45min long video. But well worth it!

Wondering how useful this would be for the agentic workflows that need browsing. The open deep research tread from yesterday mentioned using a pure text based browser sort of thing to quickly get info.

Side project not a business. I have a tiny dictation app for Mac on the app store. One time payment since it runs whisper locally. Autoupdates through the app store, and I have a lot of folks emailing me positive, negative and improvement f

AI engineering is more applied than research and in that regard this list is great. swyx and teams podcast, newsletter and discord has been the highest signal to noise ratio for keeping up and learning.

A lot of folks use it for this. But its not very straightforward like the tools that join calls and listen in. It only transcribes what it can listen to. So if you are on a zoom call on your computer it can listen to both the audio from the

Ive worked on some enterprise NER systems (specifically privacy/redaction), and in almost all cases the cost of missing out masking was significantly higher than latency (ofc in an ideal world youd have both). And in all the research w

Wouldnt it be better to run normal Whisper and NER on top of the transcription before streaming a response or writing anything to disk? What advantage does this offer?

After a lot of experimentation, the only thing that worked in a chat style application is to pass maybe the last 4-5 messages (ideally the entire conversation history) and ask an LLM to summarize the question in the context of the conversat

How does it compare with something like Bloop, which also uses a combination of a syntax tree, Embeddings, FTS and LLMs?
