  • Finally an option that is not just a dumb keyboard, this one has some local llms and local speech to text, so that’s pretty cool. Currently there’s no multilingual mode and I can’t find a way to adjust the height, but once these features are there I’ll happily switch.




  • I think the same, I often find that people overestimate their ability to write self documenting code and with the added mess of automatic formatters it often becomes hard to read and understand. In my department I am one of the few who actually writes comments and readmes that explains the reason behind some decisions. I am very junior, less than a year of experience, so maybe I will be able to better understand code that other people write in the future. But for the time being I write my documentation and my comments in a way that someone who doesn’t know anything about the project can understand, because I hate having to call coworkers because I can’t figure out how the project handles x and y (bear in mind that is also caused by Java “best practices” with 45 abstraction layers)

    Since the first second their video released I thought to myself “what a bunch of delusional apple wannabes”. From the way their marketing videos are shot, to the way the product looks, it just screams “WE WANT TO BE APPLE”. Except their idea was shit from the beginning and they had probably gotten VCs to give them money so they couldn’t just can it. It’s literally a 700$ microphone with a useless projector, and a 24$ a month openai subscription. I see a lot of people saying “this could have been an app” and I have never seen something more true. This is literally peak silicon valley bullshit.
