AI won't replace Ann Wroe at The Economist. It is difficult to appreciate until you've read a few, but Ann Wroe's approach transformed The Economist's obituary section into one of the most widely read features in interna

I do this too. I use Claude. I picked a voice I like. I go on a three mile walk. I will ask it questions about a topic that I want to learn about. If it starts telling me more than I want to hear right then, I will say "stop". It

On my iPhone, when I press Audition, it looks like it is playing something, but I do not hear anything coming through the speaker.

I see your point. The others are self-hosted, and you bring your own key. Personally, I like the convenience Eve's online account provides. It's dead simple to be up and off to the races, getting useful work done with little effor

I fed Claude the WSJ article, and asked it to come up with a summary I could post here. It sounded too much like AI wrote it. So I asked it to summarize again but sounding more like my voice and not an AI voice. It still failed, but I thoug

As a student I worked at a lab, and had a PDP-11/10 all to myself. But of course I desired more. I heard such wonderful things about the 11/34. Six years later I worked for a small company that was able to purchase a PDP-11/7

Love the Mitch Hedberg reference! Thank you! Always good to get a little Mitch! ‘I don’t have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who’d be mad at me for saying that.’ ‘I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.’ ‘I haven’t slep

Are you kidding me? Is there any one person giving better AI updates nowadays than Simonw? Back in the day, there used to be these EF Hutton commercials. There'd be some scene of a bunch of people. One person would say something like,

This link is fascinating. I had no idea that the U.S. government definition of small business was so elaborate. I asked ChatGPT, and it turns out there are 978 industries, covered by 102 different size standards! Why did they come up with t

We're a 33-year-old small company, with thirty employees. I started the company in 1992 to do custom programming (VB and MS Access) and network support (Novell NetWare). I slowly grew to five employees. In 2000 I did not enjoy billing

Thank you for turning me on to Atlas Obscura! I downloaded the app, and have already marked several places I want to visit, and others that I've been to. Looking forward to working with it more! I happened to have been in Thailand rece

When on the "My Designs" list, if you choose the vertical three dots way on the right, Delete is spelled Detele. Other than that, well even with that, you've come up with an amazing app!!
