Compiled resources for nerds are catnip. Hit that bookmark/upvote button to never get to it :)

If this is your website, I would recommend an actually noticeable button to go to the repo, it took me a good minute to find the little icon lol.

I use handy and it does the job very well, is there a difference with hex or any other transcription app if we are using the same underlying model? Or just UI/UX stuff?

At least Tesla is doing something right with direct sales and no suffering through a dealership just adding on cost.

A cool study actually just came out linking the rise to a common pesticide. Hope the EPA investigates asap and we get more funding for the cool methodology. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-026-04342-5

Yeah I think there will be a time in a few years (1-2?) when both Google and Apple will get to eat their cake. They aren't playing the same game of speed running unpolished product releases every month to double their valuation. They have time to think and observe and put out something really polished. At least that's the hope! :)

I'd wager it's more just more addiction/engagement since people/kids probably develop a deeper habit scrolling on a phone instead of a bigger screen.

I love and have been using handy for a while too, what we need is this for mobile apps I don't think there's any free apps and native dictation is not always fully local and not as good.

Now we need an open source self hostable Loom.

Is this pronounced keovo/keyovo? Just thoughts for a shorter name. Cool project!

Yep i have nontech friends and even the younger generation students talking about how Claude is better at certain tasks or types of homework problems lol.

If it's used as a tool not just search, then people will definitely talk about the other stuff. Students who rely on free tiers will also definitely just have everything bookmarked.

As someone who isn't old enough to have experienced this era of internet, the contrast of efficient utility for the user between this and modern news websites is really upsetting. :(

I was just looking into the custom anthropic sans and serif fonts used for the claude app, I really like those!

My mind goes to simple solutions like established communities having a $1 entry fee, for privacy use a privacy crypto maybe but that's a decent amount of friction for average folk with the current UX.

Another interesting idea that comes to mind is that every post/comment made needs the user to physically use their fingerprint scanner on their device which I assume plenty of devices have already. As long ad it can't be spoofed it works but not sure about the details about reliably securing that.

It would be some friction but I feel like it would be fine?

My friends just booked a trip to Hawaii on booking.com and they were each shown different prices for their hotels: $1300, $1500, $1700

Ridiculous.
