Kudos! Minor detail: the code could use a border or bg color different than the text, so that they’re more distinct.

For the ones who tried this out but want to uninstall and remove the downloaded model, because it's an iPad app it's located here: /Users/username/Library/Containers/Ensu

As a Mac user, am I missing something? macOS has Dictation built-in, when you short press F5 it should start transcribing your spoken words into text in real time. It even does non-English languages.

If you have ever been to a city that has banned fossil fuels then you can absolutely tell the difference, to most of the overpopulated European cities that I have visited. It’s astonishing how peaceful and comfortable it is to run or even stroll when every breath is just 100% refreshing; you feel 10 pounds lighter. Meanwhile the blackened filter of our home HVAC needs replacement again… and allergies.

While I agree there’s a lack of attention for the impact of software engineers on near-term industry growth — rather the opposite with layoffs and agentic automation (attempts) et cetera; the mentioned Scott Gray is working at OpenAI now, so the human capital angle is I guess just flying under the mainstream radar.

OTOH garage-startup acquisitions are acquihires.

Reads as RIP Metaverse to me.

Any time a CEO publishes such empty, wordy essays, it's probably earnings reporting time. I can't shake the feeling it's a public subreply at one of or a cluster of doubting investors, who started to doubt the CEOs vision for the company, or find the lack of one on a certain topic concerning.

Hooks turn out to be a leaky and contagious abstraction.

Thanks for sharing. I always viewed DP as finding partials to cache. Something not done a lot in day to day algos. Did not appreciate the name as being related to execution order optimization.

The way looking up words in your vocabulary works kind of like a vector db search. Then sometimes I think of something and the query result returns only the thing in language 3.

If you're into handheld console emulation then definitely check out https://gbadev.org as well. I remember their forums were epically filled with reverse engineering knowledge.

Thanks Sebastiaan for exploring this, great demonstration and insights. Can’t wait to see what the actual redesign is going to look like.

TTFB optimization to the extreme? Cheaper to transfer than downloading an entire font first.

Feeling valued is the key here. If you need external validation then by all means, work smarter towards it. Become a manager. Become a company influencer. Build a brand, and sell it hard.

At some point later in life, I hope you’ll figure out your own sense of value, true to your being, and decoupled from what others may grant. Your raison d'être.

Can someone explain why they didn’t go with (anonymous) class destructors? Or something other than a Symbol as special object key. Especially when there are two Symbols (different one for asynchronous) which makes it a leaky abstraction, no?

The so-called Founder mode is basically necessary when a CEO shows signs they're unable to effectively manage their suite of chiefs and directors to steer the company stably into better times. The founder (often CEO themselves) feels immense board pressure and blames reorganizations (they chose for themselves) for this and goes all-in on another reorganization after firing executives and publicly sharing their epic shareholder letter, while quoting Steve Jobs and other greats.

Absolutely not saying MBA CEOs like Tim Cook are superior (in fact I personally believe the opposite), but for a founder to go into "Panic mode" is an act of childish, unstable behavior. When you stop and think about it from 5000 feet, maybe the founder is the one that should be replaced. It wouldn't be so bad in case of AirBnB.
