Hello HN,

This is a simple web app to test the Microsoft AI 2 transcription model.

It is quite interesting because it is both fast and highly accurate.

Hello HN,

This is a macOS app for offline transcribing.

You can use the new Apple Speech APIs or Whisper.

It has a batch queue interface, so you can watch many input sources, including external drives.

It is completely sandboxed in the App Store, so it is isolated from your system and can only read the files you explicitly give it access to.

It stores its transcription data in plain files, so they can be read without the app on any machine.

Hope you find it useful. Thanks, Enzo.

Hello HN.

This is an experiment of creating a simple progressive web app (can be installed as a mobile app) to test Microsoft's new MAI 1.5 transcription model.

The standout features of the MAI model are accuracy and speed.

The app converts your speech into plain text lists.

No sign up required.

I like the technical design of WASM, but I feel that better OS sandboxes for regular native code will be the common approach to running untrusted code.

As soon as you compile to WASM you no longer have the C FFI and the ability to call the OS systems interfaces for files, network and others.

It is extra work to move something to WASM vs just compiling it and running it in a sandbox.

I think this comes down to higher competition and practice in Europe.

A football is the default “toy” given to young lads, and you can play anywhere with anyone.

So much so there are custom “no ball games” signs in many neighbourhoods due to noise averse residents getting annoyed.

There are also many supporting elders who try to improve and guide skill development.

Thanks.

It is using Gemini Flash 3 at the moment.

There is a lot to learn in nutrition. The glycemic load metric is quite revealing for pizza vs pasta (slow digesting carbs are supposed to be better). Al-dente cooked pasta is also slower digesting than well cooked pasta.

Another interesting thing is how each plant food has unique molecules that can be health promoting in humans. That was one aspect I wanted to reveal/compare for the foods I ate.

Dr Weil / Perfect Health Diet / Marks Daily Apple are three sources I like to check for information on nutrition.
