I recently attended a agentic SWE workshop and the starter project was this, whispr style, local voice dictation app. Took everybody around 30mins. tbh: i was kinda impressed.

Agree. Slept on.

Wish they would do an ios version, but the creator already kind of dismissed it.

A Claude Code plugin that automatically captures everything Claude does during your coding sessions, compresses it with AI (using Claude's agent-sdk), and injects relevant context back into future sessions.

Just tried it. Works. Very nice! Would be interesting to know what is still left that Gram removes...

Great writeup! For VAD did you use heaphone/mic combo, or an open mic? If open, how did you deal with the agent interupting itself?

Mirrors my experience as well. Especially the pro-activeness in tool calling sticks out. It goes web searching to augment knowledge gaps on its own way more often.

Dont bother, that was a borderline right-wing comment. Dont need to guess which political party the fella is voting for.

New comment by perelin in "There may not be a safe off-ramp for some taking GLP-1 drugs, study suggests"

perelin — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 16:24:41 +0000

100% agree. But that also feels like the elephant in the room somehow. Most western pension systems are stretched to (or beyond) their limits already. I expect that having GLP1-s widely available will extend the life of a LOT of people even further. And then ... what? Im really surprised that nobody talks about that.

As a GLP-1 user im really surprised that this is newsworthy. The mechanism of how these drugs lead to weight loss is appetite reduction. On GLP-1s -> less appetite, off GLPS-1s -> more appetite. Given the general health benefits that are being observed with GLP1-s the only reason to get off them is costs imo. They are absurdly expensive. Hope this will change in the next 10 years with patents running out and generics being available for cheap. The actual cost of production seem to be quite low. Gray/black market has them available for around a tenth of the otc price.

Love my Datos (also own the drum now)! My kids are jamming with them regularly. Only issue: my youngest LOVES the "Crush" button and just holds it the whole time. Not easy for noise sensitive parents :)

Tor on mobile devices (at least iOS, Android) is not recommended anyway. Guess true Linux phones might finally see their hour.
