In Spain most people I talk to want permanent summertime because they like having sun late at the evening during summer, and they can't stand it when in winter the sun sets at 17:00. I think the issue is that a lot of offices work from 9:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 19:00. I remember when working on an office in Barcelona and having to drive 1 hour. I would leave home in darkness and drive back home in darkness.

I also don't get the need for all these imperfections. In some examples it sounds like "she" is half asleep or even tipsy. If I want to talk to an all powered machine that knows my codebase inside out, or that can discuss about technical topics like the universe, science, or a specific technical book, etc... I expect it to be an eloquent speaker, capable of a good cadence, and that's easy to understand. I don't need it to mimic all the imperfections, I want it to be like when I'm talking to a really smart person that keeps me engaged and makes me feel smart.

Especially when you keep in mind that not everyone knows english as their first language. I know he's a bit controversial sometimes but Neil deGrasse Tyson is easy to understand and explained interesting topics in his podcast (I could still understand most of it when I was still getting used to listening to english 15+ years ago).

If conversation is the new interface then we will need UX designers to take care of this.

I've been doing classes for more than a year with an online teacher and it's been amazing and when watching the demo I saw so many of the mistakes I've done in the past and yet the app keeps saying to the singer GREAT and PERFECT but the coordination is all over the place, not to mention an octave lower and in a very monotone way (lack of prosody or emotions).

And it makes sense, you can't add emotions until you cover some of the basics.

This app can work really well once you have breath and placement nailed down and you just want to focus on pitch, but it feels like it can me misleading to people to think they sing good.

I have PTSD from trying to navigate some of these menus, not just because of the UI itself but the bad remote control button qualities paired with a really slow DVD reader that took 2 seconds to register every time you push a button.

So on one hand, yeah I see some of these and I get some kind of nostalgia, but as it happens with nostalgia, it's wasn't all that good haha

I have a similar experience using Gemini for quick Catalan translations for iOS apps given enough context.

I once asked it to summarize The Hobbit in Catalan to explain it to my daughter before sleep. I was expecting a lot of mistakes as I see regularly if I ask anything in my native language when using GPT or Claude, but it was surprisingly good. I was going just to kind of skim ahead and retell it my own way, but ended up almost saying it verbatim because it was good already.

She loves Zelda so I asked it to explain the story of Breath of The Wild keeping the original names, and to make it fun, etc.. I was surprised again. I did retell some bits in my own style and taste but it is very convincing.

I haven't tried Catalan on newer models like GTP-6 Astra or Fable tho. We have all these benchmarks based on software development, and AGI, etc.. but it would be cool to have some language benchmarks for different communities.

As I work in english and use them in english, I wonder if using LLMs in a different language to code renders a different result as well. Like, if some of these benchmarks were made in other languages, would the result be similar.

As others already commented a lot of content creators are getting copyright claims for just 5 seconds humming of a song and this allows them to edit that part and change it. It’s funny how people want to edit their tweets when they misstype something but don’t want others to do so. In a video of 10min there are a lot of mistakes to be made and things that can be changed.

I moved to the UK but I still know many friends from Spain that work from 9am-1pm -> lunch break -> 3pm-7pm. Which means that in reality they can end up leaving the office at 7:30pm. By the other hand I worked for the Catalan TV for many years and they had very flexible hours and I could leave by 5pm, but it's not that usual in my experience (and that was 12 years ago).

Thanks! Not very intuitive. I thought that was making reference to your browser once installed, not as a "show me more" button.

I was also thinking about creating a stock screener but don't know where to get market data. Where do you get yours? Thank you!

I think your app could be better with some UX/UI re-thinking.

They can pull an app out from the App Store but they never, ever had the ability to remove it from your phone.
