Hah, I just paid for an addon to do this, Noir. Sure you could do it for free but it's a nice experience. Oh well, no harm done.

I setup 8 day age gates on everything back in May. This is inobtrusive and pretty safe.

STT is definitely better on my iPhone 15 pro which doesn’t get the large model. It’s usable now but not up to the real deal like parakeet with a LM cleaning up the output after.

Yes, that was Google’s justification for killing MV2. It isn’t wrong, of course, but I insist on defining my own security posture and I prioritize adblocking.

Brave and Vivaldi built their own blockers, they aren’t addons.

What is the purpose of this? Just a hard cutoff below the actual context window? You could set that in your harness anyway.

This was done because they were charging the 100%/50% premium for long-context over 272k to Codex users, even though they set 372k as the default. It cost people a LOT of money.

Parakeet is incredibly fast and accurate even on CPU, and it supports streaming now also in TDT3.

OK, but how does it compare against Parakeet TDT2 (english), TDT3 (many languages), and Parakeet TDT3 Streaming? And what about whisper large?

Atlassian was extremely foolish. Obviously you want to fire someone who makes unprofessional comments like that on the company Slack, but you don't explicitly fire them for that, you find some other defensible reason to do it.

If your prompt has to do with those areas, yes. I haven't seen a single refusal yet.

Reportedly the biology guiderails are particularly strict.

Must be to classify/moderate images for social media. They're pretty good at that. I can't imagine what else you'd want to use Gemini models for, certainly not coding.

All I can say is I will never vote for any politician who votes for any form of this. Even if the bill fails to pass, they will never, ever get my vote.

No actual proof of any kind. Obviously a petulant attack on Anthropic.
