I read 150 books (mostly short and accessible) in a year a while back. It was one of the happiest times of my life after a very dark period.

Thanks!

Why did you re-submit this? Was it deleted before?

I think first prompt to deploy was < 25 minutes - purely to amuse myself.

I have so many other projects that have taken days and in my eyes are way "better" but get zero attention.

Cool idea, thanks

Thanks!

Thank you!

I built it and still suck, don’t feel so bad.

Oh wow - that is very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool idea! Will try and add.

Just wrapping up the beta for iOS! Will let you know asap.

I'm* building an app currently!

Cool idea - thanks! I'm building a mobile app as we speak so I'll add it for sure.

Assuming you aren't from the UK, Peter Murrell is the husband of famous Scottish politician Nicola Sturgeon. He is currently on trial (having recently please guilty) for some very dubious spending of money that was most certainly not his to spend.

I compiled every purchase into a mock online shop.

For years I've religiously read the Guardian's Blind Date column every Saturday morning.

If you've not come across it: the paper sets up two strangers on a date at a nice restaurant, then asks them both a series of questions afterwards, culminating in a score out of ten.

As of this Saturday, there have been 877 of them. So I pulled every article and analysed the scores, sentiment, trends, and a few other things I was curious about.

The whole thing updates itself; every Saturday a new date drops into the dataset automatically.

There have been alternative (often mad) health proponents who have insisted upon only eating fruit in the morning for years - similar(ish) reasons. I think there is probably something to it.

We have a print on our wall that says "These are the good old days" - when I'm going through it with newborns, chaotic toddler tantrums and work stress...it's a good reminder that I will desperately wish to return to this stage of life one day in the future.

Yup! I am, ironically, second guessing myself when doing edits now to ensure I don't sound like an LLM...thus altering my natural writing style in places.

I recently added an AI Policy to my blog (https://rory.codes/ai-policy). The assumption now appears to be AI guilty unless proven innocent which I think is a travesty for readers and writers alike.

Thanks for reminding me of this. One of the all time greats.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing - I took a look at my own robots.txt and realised the sitemap was broken.

On a M4 Macbook Air, there was enough lag to make it unusable for me. I hit the shortcut and start speaking but there was always a 1-2sec delay before it would actually start transcribing even if the icon was displayed.

As per the OPs comment - but an email doesn't inherently come with

a name, a profile picture and a way to be linked-back to something else immediately

Would tend to agree. Interesting concept but unless it's all encrypted, I wouldn't trust this at all.

Connecting your washing machine to the internet and then observing the outgoing traffic and knowing that it is obscenely high simply IS tech-savvy as compared to the average person.

On HN or similar circles, maybe not - but that isn't Newsweek's audience.

Yeah I mean - that machine isn't going to struggle with much!

I'm on an M1 Mac and it's pretty smooth. Of course, maybe I just have terribly low standards.
