Requiring microphone access is a dealbreaker. I transcribe audio files I’ve recorded on other equipment. You don’t need my mic for that. I clicked hoping it would leverage whisper’s translation capabilities as well, since MacWhisper does no

I’m sorry but in the context of a 50 year old technology like email, 2008 was yesterday. Gmail is in the wrong, you don’t get to just update the standard for email like it’s TikTok content or a Roblox update or whatever. Email was here long

Completely separate decision with a higher legal bar for doing that. It's one thing to allow police to search a phone. Another to compel someone to unlock the device. We live in a world of grays and nuance and an "all or nothing&q

Update - just tonight got a letter from a company called Conduent disclosing my medical billing records were compromised more than a year ago. Offering me “free” credit monitoring.

So you’re from a different country from the author and don’t know how systems work here but you’re going to judge them for having their identity stolen? Maybe if you actually had any first hand experience you’d be able to muster some empath

You’re using “spare” incorrectly. It means to avoid. “Spare the expense” means to avoid having to pay for the license. Which seems to be the opposite of what you are saying. “Spare the money” is probably what you mean. That is to part with

It’s great yes, but if we in the US weren’t proving so untrustworthy, EU startups and tech giants could focus on building things that actually might out innovate us and everyone else. Which would be a win-win. Instead they will spend a lot

No it's a very similar idea, just on workstations instead of servers. Qubes is built around "do everything in VMs" as SmartOS is "do everything in zones." It's just a usage detail that Qubes may have a slightly

I use it for a home server. Zones provides a secure way to have (on one physical machine with one physical network interface) some stuff you can only get to on the local network and some things you can get to over the public internet and so

Unpopular opinion: this should be done with xml, not json. XML can have types, be self describing, and be extended (the X in XML). That said it’s a very elegant way to describe AT protocol.

The act of writing something like this can be a way of helping yourself do it. I'm not sure that's his intent, or not, but I like the idea of writing at an intermediate stage. Should he wait until his behavior is perfect before sh

Has Orion gotten significantly more stable in the last year? The last time I tried it, on iOS, it crashed a lot.

On the one hand it’s great Bose is doing this — on the other it sucks that this is so remarkable. Having stuff you bought that does not actually need the cloud continue to work should be the default.

“Much worse” is what you say when you know little to nothing about what Mao and Stalin did to say nothing of Xi. Completely horrifying repression, mass murder, famine, and death. You can pick a “worse” but to act like it’s an easy call is j

I’ll also note that the publisher was right to bring up AI, even if they did not do it in an artful way. He himself comes to doubt the need for his book in the era of LLMs and he says that is part of why he cancelled. To his publisher’s cre
