That monitor sounds interesting; I manually set something up in Keyboard Maestro to notify me that something quit and potentially re-launch it.

Have a look at this issue, and the picture i posted. Their is an explanation on how to test it out locally if you wish too

One of the most responsive developers I’ve ever seen, kudos

Many of my use cases are similar to those of: Robert J. P. Oberg - (GitHub) ognistik

Perhaps his YouTube channel is worth a watch. This video from four months ago compares various STT tools: https://youtu.be/pKU9CABtnOw

Speaking of apps that would, if I had to guess, love to integrate you:

FluidVoice is incredible and developing quickly. Handy is really hot right now. Also have VoiceInk out there, solid iOS option.

Thank you for this link.

got it, this helps a lot. thanks!

Hey Rohan, love to contribute feedback.

Huge fan of Ava multilingual and hopefully there are many other others with similar taste, so my feedback might shape things towards a halfway decent direction at least for some.

btw, use case is most often to listen to news/articles.


got it, this is very useful. thanks a lot.

Yes, for the time being the final report should probably come from us (but endless opportunity along the way to clarify thinking and understand industry standard terms).

Was I a sucker for believing that Kalshi was going to [e.g.] help farmers hedge against drought years or is the problem just morally bankrupt selection of events?

If they said that and you believed it kinda. There are already markets and insurance schemes to allow farmers to do that though through crop insurance, it's a very old and even government subsidized to keep the prices down in many countries. Farmers in need of that can already insure their crops to make $XXX amount of money to make sure they break even on the crop for the year for example there's no real need to bet on the amount of rain to reach that same goal.

We already have an extremely complicated system of farm insurance and commodity futures for that.

Yep Kalshi is at best only shrinking the scale of things a farmer could bet on instead of getting proper old style crop insurance (either yield or revenue). It's just cloaking a weather slot machine in "we're helping farmers" language. Agri-washing their betting market if you will.

I came to the comments dissatisfied with the writing.

Or maybe more specifically the structure, idk not much of a writer, but many of the sentences are solid journalist quality yet the right background is not being set nor the right transitions being given etc.

My dissatisfaction mode used to be boring high school newspaper sentences but the kids still seem to _assemble_ the details a tiny bit better.


Age verification kind of disgusts me and your kid will probably be fine

Isis did manage to recruit young men in the UK via telegram (OK, you just said “in all likelihood“, maybe I’m tossing you the exception that proves the rule)


To be clear, I'm against age verification. Teenagers should just have access to all of the internet, like we did when we were teenagers.

> Isis did manage to recruit young men in the UK via telegram

Not sure why this is an age problem, and why it's ok for 18 year olds to be recruited to terrorist organisations but not 17 year olds...


>I'm in so deep that Claude Code can predict the stock market.

“What?”, more polite than “yeah right” :)

(oh I guess obviously it would have a chance at nailing it for weeks in a row, and have more good years than bad—since actively managed funds can pull that off until, universally, they can’t [beat the market])


>If you press play on the music player on your phone, do you expect it to “try something different?”

I expect it to make a playlist containing the opposite of my taste, like I asked! :)

(YMMV on how good it is at this)
