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?
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.

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 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.
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. :(
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?
