It's also a desktop app, integrated into the mobile app, and it has cloud hosted session capabilities too. Plugs into Slack and Github, maybe others. So definitely there's backend stuff as well, beyond the inference.

They never actually made the change. Using -p with a subscription has worked all along.

Definitely raised an eyebrow at this one :D

I picked up a couple of foot pedals built to control manual transcription software from thrift stores. That was years ago and I hacked them to control music software instead. Then one day I got Nvidia's Parakeet model running locally and was sold on automatic transcription in an instant. So in an ironic twist, I started using one of my spare transcription pedals to do transcription by wiring it up to a harness for Parakeet. It's great and the setup is basically trivial to create these days on Linux with a bit of help from an agent.

The next generation of models are currently being withheld from general release. Beyond that, there's still a lot of room to compete on price and also independence from the US labs.

Sure!

Did you mean Sonnet and Opus?

Back then they were both written in Go too. OpenCode was rewritten in TypeScript after Crush got the rename.

Community and listener supported radio stations can be a great resource. I discover a lot of music via a local station I discovered by surfing on the FM dial. Most stations offer online streams these days and some even produce video content too (Live at KEXP is one favorite, and NPR's Tiny Desk is in a similar vein). Non corporate coffee shops are usually playing some music selected by the baristas and I found some favorites that way too.

When I find something new, I like to look up live performances from that artist on YouTube. Sometimes people in the comments mention other similar artists or the source that led them to the video. YouTube's algorithm is a bit of a dark and dangerous thing overall, but I do sometimes follow a suggestion for music that I end up loving.

Refusing future applications to adjust status would be one thing (still wrong, in my opinion). The fact that they are canceling pending applications is simply evil. There will be so much unnecessary anguish and expense. I really feel for anybody who is now learning they will have to leave and wait years to come live in the US with their spouse, due to overstayed visas which were supposed to be forgiven under the status quo.

It's just too bad Emacs doesn't also include a decent text editor, right?

New Nvidia Parakeet release does both offline and streaming. English only and outperforms v2 error rate in offline mode while being very competitive with v2 in high latency streaming mode.

Aider isn't abandoned, but it feels like it's basically in maintenance mode at this point. Updates over the last year were limited to small improvements and fixes. There are some forks aimed at making it more "agentic" (more like Claude Code, etc). I haven't tried them personally.
