talk about 30 seconds to wow. great app, UX and demo. would love to use this. kudos.

I find we're all missing the forest for the trees. We're using AI in spots.

AI requires a holistic revision. When the OS's catch up, we'll have some real fun.

The author is good to call out the differences in UX. Sad that design has always been given less attention.

When I first saw the title, my initial thought was this may relate to AX, which I think compliments the topic very well: https://x.com/gregisenberg/status/1947693459147526179

This article is spot on.

I had stumbled upon Kidlin’s Law—“If you can write down the problem clearly, you’re halfway to solving it”.

This is a powerful guiding principle in today’s AI-driven world. As natural language becomes our primary interface with technology, clearly articulating challenges not only enhances our communication but also maximizes the potential of AI.

The async approach to coding has been most fascinating, too.

I will add, I've been using Repl.it *a lot*, and it takes everything to another level. Getting to focus on problem solving, and less futzing with hosting (granted it is easy in the early journey of a product) - is an absolute game changer. Sparking joy.

I personally use the analogy of mario kart mushroom or star; that's how I feel using these tools. It's funny though, because when it goes off the rails, it really goes off the rails lol. It's also sometimes necessary to intercept decisions it will take.. babysitting can take a toll (because of the speed of execution). Having to deal with 1 stack was something.. now we're dealing with potential infinite stacks.

While true... real world wins?

[*] limited bandwidth (8 kHz), providing a valuable opportunity to enhance and specialize models for telephony applications, ensuring better performance and user experience even with low-fidelity audio inputs.

Agreed on the broader use of data. That said, it’s not just about phoneme collection—different channels and UX modalities reach different audiences and contexts. Each channel ultimately delivers unique inputs, fueling more specialized and robust models tailored to those specific use cases.

Great idea and wishing you the best of luck!

Something to consider!

Re: taking issue with my statement on privilege -- I'm thoroughly confused by your comment "privilege .. [is] something one is given and gives." Male privilege is an inherent trait. It is up to us to become aware of it and not perpetuate it's consequences in our industry.

Not sure what you mean by "we've all already come to the conclusion that equality of opportunity is a privilege we all would benefit from".. equal opportunity is not a privilege - it's a baseline.

How can you genuinely say that everyone is "in some way privileged"? The whole idea of privilege is that only few have it, especially in the context we're talking about. I can think of so many marginalized groups in society that enjoy no privilege whatsoever.

Lastly, re: "we would simply be repeating history", please shed light on this, I don't really get it.

"because of something they can't control" is a dangerous point to me; while I may not be able to change or "control" the fact that I am male, I can certainly gain awareness of my male privilege and behave in a way that does not perpetuate it.

So going to back to the original poster, had he been aware of this privilege he would not make statements about reverse discrimination or some injustice being perpetuated against him or other men due to policies that support women's equal participation in our industry.

I didn't say that semantics were unimportant overall, I'm implying that its erroneous to assert that there's discrimination at play against men in this context because to imply so, supports the stale argument that policies favoring equal gender representation discriminate against men.

It's bizarre that from my response you had to get into semantics, which completely misses the point.

It's not about dictionary definitions of words, it's about how discrimination manifests (or how it cannot in the hands of those who don't hold power). Surely we can debate what discrimination means, but there's a plethora of sociological literature on the intersection of that dictionary definition (that you referenced) and how it comes to fruition in the hands of dominant groups. This is obviously central to this discussion as it was implied that there was somehow reverse discrimination against men.

Please share what you think about that, genuinely curious.

Pretty sure you are.

Do you have no understanding of what discrimination is? Discrimination is perpetuated by those who hold power - it is completely and directly proportional to dominance - those who do not hold power cannot discriminate.

You know why? Because if you don't have power, your ideas do not come into implementation (you don't have resources!).

Therefore, a dominant group i.e. men or white people, cannot be discriminated against because they are the centre of power - they are the arbiters.

This BS of reverse sexism that you are perpetuating is complete nonsense with absolutely zero sociological backing. Therefore, the men you reference were not "discriminated" against.

In fact, your reference to "normal people" shows how un-nuanced you are in your understanding of discrimination and society in general.

Also, the fact that you expect a diversity of ideas from a homogenous group of people is absurd - unique ideas come through because people have unique backgrounds and experiences - as these in turn act as frameworks for their intellectual products.

Has it ever occurred to you that having people with "diverse" "skin" and "sexual orientation" could actually contribute to your goal of having diverse ideas?

Don't cite one conference as proof for why men are discriminated against. Do you know who was part of the blind review process? and more importantly, does that selection reflect on the quality of scholarship put forth by female candidates or is it the product of the experiences of the people sitting on the panel?

I won't comment on the "best" here as they all have their respective differences, but consider signing up for the Nuance Mix developer platform Beta: https://developer.nuance.com/mix ; we're offering full control custom ASR+NLU.

Totally fair, and agreed on the value of such a discussion; Same deal - seen/lived both. It requires fundamental cultural change (PM plays a big part). When the discussion starts with teams engaging in poorly defined scrum, I usually reference: https://www.scrum.org/ScrumBut.

The rate this post is getting upvotes suggests that agile (and particularly scrum) are indeed misunderstood. Eesh :/

the screenshot they put on the homepage suggests that it does interface with iMessage?

I can't seem to validate '100$/month'. Do I have to sign up in order to see that info?

@moskie - it is indeed amazing, and it's part of their engine that makes them truly unique (that it has been this way for so long, and continues to be just as talked about).

@k-mcgrady: true, but if you look at what percentage of their cash they spent on it, it's not as significant as acquisitions from other, similarly sized companies.. but your point remains: it is out of the ordinary for $aapl.

"Plus, job market you know, fuck motherfucking H1Bs." ?

"Maybe he was too ambitious in asking for 10,000 startup visas per year." hmm, lowering expectations a couple of orders of magnitude for a highly selective group? i'm a fan of YC and all, and agree that it'll probably end up being the cream of the crop thus a great likelihood to succeed, but i really do wish this issue was tackled properly - its so painful. I'd personally love to build something here (happily even with my own capital) but can't. I appreciate the call for action, though, but man - trying to immigrate here is rough.. when the conversation becomes 'let us just prove it with 100', while time keeps ticking on.. i wonder if anything will really happen.

Woah. I guess I could have seen this coming..?

I utilized their API for just under two years (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.asot) and several months back they just pulled access from everyone without any insight. It took months of complaints before they started tending to developers (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/beatport-api) and so I removed the integration from my app. What a shame.

The best list I've seen to date: http://trendblog.net/list-of-google-now-voice-commands-infog...

Out of everything in that survey the gender gap (page 6) strikes me the most. It's sad that it even exists, honestly. To see the continual increase in male salaries, and that fairly stagnant top end for females.. seriously!? For an industry that is trying to employ more female engineers, the trend sucks.

As articulated in the synopsis at the bottom, 'This disgraceful disparity lays bare the false — but cherished — belief that our profession is at its core a meritocracy.'

Yea that article caused a lot of confusion amongst folks.

Personally, I don't think that the $650m has to apply for the one contract (healthcare.gov) for the general act to be quested like the post above ('and we get THIS')?

As for your math - sounds reasonable, but wow my expectations of what $55m can yield are vastly different than how you rationalized it.

I'm a big fan of Prezi, and think that impress.js is pretty sweet, but I have to admit, every time I try to dive in and use either tool to build a presentation, I realize how much planning is required to execute one effectively.

I'm still a huge fan of reveal.js[1] and love the fact that I can get a rich presentation, with all the functionality I need in an easy-to-use, extensible framework. Ever since discovering it, I haven't been able to present well with anything else...
