You can set up a shortcut that will record you, hit the Whisper API, then copy to your clipboard. It's not as smooth as native transcription or the SOTA on Google phones but it's pretty good.

Agreed. The rumors beforehand made it sound Apple and OpenAI would practically be merging. This felt like a fig leaf so Apple could say you can access SOTA models from you iPhone. But for me personally, the deep integration with the ecosyst

Honestly I was surprised at how limited the ChatGPT integration seems to be. It felt like they 80/20'd AI with the onboard models + semantic index, but also wanted to cover that last 20% with some kind of SOTA cloud model. But the

So tl;dr the actual practical impact is just that you see more relevant ads when you’re visiting websites.

Day to day what does "monetizing my data and removing my privacy" actually mean to you? Are advertisers following you around town? Bothering you at work? Hounding you in the loo? Personally it seems like my data has been stolen fr

For me the point of de-googling is not to literally stop using every single Google service but to disengage enough that your entire online identity isn't tied to Google such that losing your account would be catastrophic. For example,

What exactly is the argument here? That we can't pay founders too much, or else grifters/lazy people would take over to line their pockets with VC dollars? That's basically a non-sequitur. The issue at hand is that there is p

Yes of course, but what I'm saying is that's not actually an argument for any particular base salary amount. Think of it this way. We assume higher quality founders would be attracted by higher base salaries. Higher quality founde

This sounds good but the math makes no sense. The salary gap we're talking about here is minuscule compared to non-trivial amounts of equity in a successful company. $400K vs $200K per year for 5 years is $1M total. If the company is s

IMO you are entirely correct OP, and it's to everyone's detriment. A huge talent pool locked out of creating new forms of value because investors are too cheap to bump salary from what is arbitrarily considered "pretty good b

Something interesting to me is I have an 8 month old son. Everyone around me says he looks just like me. To me, he doesn't look like anyone in particular at all.

Yeah, this is my experience as well. Once I've fully fleshed out the requirements to the point that there is zero ambiguity in what I want, I've basically written a pseudocode implementation already and the AI is just saving me so

Yeah this is a similar phenomenon. AI is not so good at recognizing that you're looking for the "general" solution to the problem, one that will holistically fit in with the rest of the codebase/objective, and what has b

I've noticed the same issue with AI coding, where you start to write requirements and then realize that you yourself don't have a perfect idea of what exactly this feature should be, or how it should work. It's easy to say th
