I built dictation software, SpeechPulse, for Windows 10/11 and Apple silicon Macs.

SpeechPulse works completely offline, and you can use it to type into any text input field, including text editors, word processors, and web browsers. You can download it from https://speechpulse.com.

SpeechPulse supports speech recognition in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian.

SpeechPulse can also generate subtitles for your audio and video files with accurate timestamps. It also supports customizable subtitle widths.

SpeechPulse uses the Whisper speech-to-text models to provide best-in-class accuracy.

SpeechPulse comes with a 30-day free trial. It has a one-time fee if you want to purchase the product.

Let me know what you think!
Let’s say you have a rich text where you want to highlight all occurrences of some token or syntax. When you have tree data structures you cannot use regexps or a simple parsers, since the full text may be split in different nodes.

With attributes strings it’s trivial, you just need to move attributes accordingly and to normalize stuff at the end.
The koan of an open-source LLM
I tried the demo and it seems like this is built for exclusively for children, so was that some kind of hazing?
For cloud programming, I find ChromeOs linux performance to be perfectly acceptable. The price penalty on Apple products is too high.

I also HATED the fact that I has to give Apple my credit card to get it to work. Apple treats your laptop like it owns it. I was unable to delete Itunes and had to sign Terms of Service that I didn't want.
> So how did they manage to add 1,998,000 more lines of node in the next 10 years (...)

Does LinkedIn have the same features it had a decade ago?

Search is far more powerful. It also shifted to add an entirely new social media dimension to it.

God knows what features were made available to recruiters and marketers.

The hard part of a web app is not the stuff you see; it's the stuff you don't even know is there.
People who want that can get any number of Linuxes - and ChromeOS exists on new devices for cheap as almost free.

There's really no market there.

Prompt engineer was likely never a career path, I’d imagine most software devs knew this from the jump. I think any engineer can work with the modern LLM solutions available — considering software engineering was already a form of pseudo-prompt engineering, but the feedback loop was with yourself, google, and stack overflow.

The product I’m building is predicated on prompt engineering and it works really well for us — our results need to be as accurate and structured as possible so they can be re-used as software dependencies. We do this by auto-generating a context on the fly and tailoring it to your specific data sources (databases, APIs), sampling data, and so on. We do both manual and "auto" tuning of the context to provide the best results.
The history of card payments is pretty rich.

Individual shops like electronics, but before that department stores, etc offered charge cards (or charge coins) since the 1870's. Charge cards/accounts are distinct from credit cards because you settle the balance at the end of the period (month) and it's not revolving debt with an interest rate. Its more like Net 30 terms.

Diners Club card was introduced in 1950 as a multipurpose charge card, usable at a large selection of merchants.

Eventually banks got in the game in the 50's and 60's and that enabled true credit cards, which were like a charge card but you could carry revolving debt on them
This is brilliant. I hope it catches on for more than just students.
I assumed dada is using promises under the hood, just as JS is. If this is the case it could provide a static method for waiting on multiple promises, just as JS does.
Darling is the only project that I'm aware of: https://www.darlinghq.org/
That's perfectly acceptable and expected. F# supports OOP and imperative just as much as it does functional programming. In the case of such functions and expressions, the value returned is of type `unit` with a single value of `()`. In F#, expressions that return `unit` have the value explicitly ignored if they are not the last expression in a code block. Other expressions returning non-`unit` values that aren't at the end of an expression will generate a warning. In such cases, for example where a function performs a required side effect and returns a value other than `()` but you don't need that value, you can use `|> ignore` to get rid of the warning since it says you are explicitly wanting to ignore the returned value.
No. The Internet is at your fingertips.
I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but it seems to me that ChromeOS Flex ticks all your boxes.

I use it regularly, on two Fujitsu and Lenovo laptops, neither being Chromebooks (hence your last requirement - the rest are available also in ChromeOS "proper").
I'm sure that's how literally everyone wants you to view their propaganda.
Amendment: I just found out that I do have at least one use for git-stash, which is when I am stuck in the middle of a rebase somewhere and made an edit intended for another point (commit).
Apple Terminated Epic's Developer Account
Try encoding it the obvious way as text instead and view your SVG file on different renderers, and you will often find that they messed up the fonts/text layout.

This is a defensive practice to ensure that your plot will look the way you intended.
Sounds interesting, but I'm curious what you think the upside would be for Google.
That is probably because there are no products on MacOs needed on Linux.

Samsung doesn't allow security updates while roaming (requires wifi). Another artificial restriction without much consideration for longer term travelers.
I remember the first days of gopher browsing were like that. Gopher browsing to me was like swinging on vine to vine. The trick was remembering/documenting where each vine went.

This seems like a possibly huge user/browser fingerprint. Yes, CORS has been taken into account, but for massive touch surface origins (Google, Facebook, doubleclick, etc) this certainly has concerning ramifications.

It’s also insanely complicated. All this effort, so many possible tuples of (shared dictionary, requested resource), none of which make sense to compress on-the-fly per-request, mean it’s specifically for the benefit of a select few sites.

When I saw the headline I thought that Chrome would ship with specific dictionaries (say one for js, one for css, etc) and advertise them and you could use the same server-side. But this is really convoluted.
Worldcoin is now banned in Spain
Sounds like the FreeType vulnerability that comex exploited for JailbreakMe. I think it was called 'Star.' Try CVE-2010-1797.
Yeah, I think at some point we all have some internal wiring that is hard to change, while other parts are flexible.

For instance, I'm fine to write C++, Javascript or Python (with types at least). Ruby or Rust for some reason do rub me the wrong way, no matter how much I try to tough it out.
I asked GPT-4 today to optimise a function for me, giving it a hint at what algorithm to use and it produced something incorrect and about 100x slower than what I was trying to optimise.
I would distinguish creator(s) from early key contributors and developers. I'm not aware of the full history of Rust but was under the understanding that Graydon Hoare is the creator of the language.
let me tell you a simple story

1. team A developed some really nice looking graphs from customer data we already collected

2. a member of team A pointed out he is colorblind and the palette did not work for him

3. product manager took the time to research this and figure out how we might make the palette configurable for those who are colorblind

4. CEO got wind of this and called everyone involved into a meeting. The decision of the CEO was no one would ever use colors for any data presentation. The only allowable color was a shade of gray

I'd like to point out that using only a shade of gray for "colors" effectively makes the entire planet colorblind
SamA is a business bro who tries to hoard investor capital. He has to say these things to collect more VCs. If you want to learn about the tech, listen to what the actual techies at openai have to say. This stuff is no secret.

So many bugs. The background will break in dark-mode, or the foreground. The bounding box will cut off the image contents. You export in SVG to get nice text rendering and everything carefully aligned, and it looks in Chromium the way it did in Inkscape... but then in Firefox everything is misaligned, defeating the point compared to if you had just used a PNG. It doesn't work as a social media thumbnail. And so on.
Thanks for the clarification. That does indeed make them closer to unions.

A quick google shows me a program called darling, which is a "macos equivalent of wine".
you use your 14.4 dial-up modem for sends. Oh, sorry, thinking about HughesNet.
Examples 9 and 14 seem pretty odd, the US and the Turkish company don’t have any presence in the EU. They can break the laws of the EU in the sense that I can break the laws of China or Saudi Arabia; I’m not going there so I don’t care what their courts think about me.

I think this is a bad way to write a law, because if no court that I care about is going to enforce it, I can violate it. So, it is misleading to the citizens of the EU to say that they are protected by these laws.
This is a great explanation of how a computation can be embodied in a physical object.
Nobody is forcing you to call it anything—you could just as easily call it "marketing" or "news". Anyway, "fact" is a convenient fantasy in most cases when you actually mean "strong belief grounded in sources you trust".

For 2023, the grain imported from Russia to Poland amounts to 1.2% of the grain imported from Ukraine. Should be 0%, but it's definitively not "much larger". How are you comforable with just making things up like that.
LinkedIn thinks so. Their tech stack is so over engineered and spaghetti that they spent a hundred million and years trying to move into Azure and were beaten by how bloated and unmovable the tech stack is.

Theyre still using python 2 and centOS in tons of systems.

They just started using github last year.

Their tech stack is easily over a decade old.
Neat. My n was on the order of thousands, so that would have taken a while, but it could have been cached.
Show HN: Share multiple screens simultaneously in Microsoft Teams
Hey, HN!

We built the ability for multiple people to share their screen at once in Microsoft Teams. Was a journey figuring out how to use and abuse Teams APIs to essentially get a Teams call embedded in a Teams call...

In the end though, it is so powerful for everyone to be able to share their screens at the same time, and not have to "wait their turn". We use it every day for all sorts of collaborating, planning, etc.

You can use MultiShare for free by installing from AppSource or by clicking the [+ Apps] icon from a Teams meeting and searching for "MultiShare". Would love to hear any questions or feedback you may have.

Didn’t realize that apps with reliable network connections would get much use, but I’m wrong when I think about it collaborative document editors.
Is there a widely accepted definition of "safe AI"?

Musk's definition is obviously very different from Google's. Are we including offensive language in general discussion of AI safety, or are we just talking about illegal activity? Because if it's the latter, then by definition we already have laws in place. Trying to make a gun that can't fire bullets will always yield a result that is not a gun.

AGI is inherently unsafe. Intelligent people will always be capable of harm. The choice needs to be made: do we want to make this thing a gun or not?
The very first project I worked on at Cloudflare but in 2012 was a delta compression-based service called Railgun. We installed software both on the customer's web server and on our end and thus were able to automatically manage shared dictionaries (in this case version of pages sent over Railgun were used as dictionaries automatically). You definitely get incredible compression results.

I've always wondered what exactly is wrong with AMD's GPUs that makes them such a terrible experience to use for GPGPU. Some have suspected that there is a deep hardware problem, but as I have learned more about hardware, most of it is actually programmable, because it turns out, simple non-x86 CPUs are so extremely area efficient that you can just sprinkle them anywhere you want. The vast majority of bugs are actually software bugs of some sort.
I don't understand the Haxe documentation but it seems to also have some kind of algebraic data type.
It's probably Mbabaram.

> When Dixon finally managed to meet Bennett, he began his study of the language by eliciting a few basic nouns; among the first of these was the word for "dog". Bennett supplied the Mbabaram translation, dog. Dixon suspected that Bennett had not understood the question, or that Bennett's knowledge of Mbabaram had been tainted by decades of using English. But it turned out that the Mbabaram word for "dog" was in fact dúg,[2] pronounced almost identically to the Australian English word (compare true cognates such as Yidiny gudaga, Dyirbal guda, Djabugay gurraa and Guugu Yimidhirr gudaa, for example[3]). The similarity is a complete coincidence [...].

The Anglophone world is "our" and "us". Since our enemies "used" that word, you are only one if you also live in the past tense.
It's not clear that "culture of outrage" is even a thing to begin with when, again, the alternative is to not place value on how society works to begin with.

I mean, you could be entirely satisfied with how society works, but that also strikes me as irrational.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has an active campaign to battle disinformation, especially from foreign sources. They even used Soviet propaganda-style ads on Twitter to convey their message. (1)

Of course, the Twitter comments below the ads are full of people/bots/agents claiming that CSIS is in the pocket of Trudeau, legacy media, the WEF, etc.

Ethernet PHY is way more complicated & costly than a small handful of TTL GPIOs...
That's cool! I googled around and found that this must be the Mbabaram language, an extinct language once spoken in East Australia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbabaram_language#Word_for_%22...

> The similarity is a complete coincidence: the English and Mbabaram languages developed on opposite sides of the planet over the course of tens of thousands of years. This and other false cognates have been cited by typological linguist Bernard Comrie as a caution against deciding that languages are related based on a small number of lexical comparisons.
But you start the construction with the line already drawn. Then you have to place the arms of the compass on the points, so you have error on both ends.
I want to believe that.
This seems to say otherwise (specifically the "but not running" part):

Dada, like JavaScript, is based exclusively on async-await. This means that operations that perform I/O, like print, don't execute immediately. Instead, they return a thunk, which is basically "code waiting to run" (but not running yet). The thunk doesn't execute until you await it by using the .await operation.

Do you have any examples where this actually happened and the fine was paid?
I don't see how that is relevant. If I want a refrigerant, I go buy it. If I need a license, so be it. This isn't like getting a CDL. You take a course on proper handling & disposal and agree you'll follow it.

Since you brought up refrigerant I'll go ahead and point out almost anyone can buy propane anywhere, including kids. It's a great refrigerant, it just can't have any trademark or patent protection.

To compare this to the DRM placed on tech products, I'd need to have a cryptographically signed refrigerant bottle to recharge my AC.

Playing politics is hard. It’s literally the job of business management and the only way they get a paycheck. So they’re well practiced and beating them at that game is difficult.

If you’re technical, you can get a paycheck just by doing the work. Sure, you can play politics and tech, but is it worth it? Unless you are rewarded as a stakeholder, I’d say it’s not worth it.
I wonder if this could be related to M1/2/3 Macs being worse for x86 system software development than the old Intel Macs. I work on ROS[1] which runs on x86 Linux platforms, but usually develop on a Mac. I may have to move to a Linux laptop soon because there's not an easy path (that I'm aware of) to running x86 ROS code on an M3: compiling the entire system for arm would be a huge headache while running x86 code in a Linux VM under Rosetta has a lot of unknowns.

Obviously my case is a bit of an outlier, but once you add up enough outliers you might see a real impact.

Edit: I'm really going to miss the Mac. As much as I love the Linux CLI, Linux GUIs are a huge mess. A simple example: on MacOS you can use Emacs style keyboard shortcuts (^A, ^E, ^K, etc) to manipulate text in just about any text field in any app. AFAIK no such thing exist in Linux, which generally uses Windows style shortcuts (Home, End) that a much more limited. Another example is the ever-present "Help" menu in Mac apps that can be used to find/run other menu items.
How often do you code in pico lisp? I think it's a neat project, but haven't really found a use yet.
Just because "we" are from English-speaking countries doesn't mean "we" have the same "enemies", and the idea that people are assigned a list of enemies based on where they're born is insane. Being born on the same patch of dirt doesn't mean I have anything to do with you.
Thanks for your kind words. I have a feature onnthe roadmap which is very close to delivery that will allow you to load a big log file and browse it through the UI. As long as you can load the content from disk or remotely, Logdy will be able to handle that. The aim isnto provide DataDog like experience but in a portable and temporary way, that allows you to set it up quickly, check what you need, tear down and move on. All without much hassle or costs for sending the logs to a remote service.
I don't think OpenAI has to worry about much at all, he can't bleed them dry via a lawsuit when they have one of the largest corporations on Earth bankrolling them. I'm not sure what he's trying to accomplish other than making dubious lawsuits like Trump does.
