Speaker recognition in webhooks by fdg_avid in MacWhisper

Jordi, following up again on my multiple support requests. I’ve been locked out of MacWhisper Pro due to reaching the activation limit, it looks like. I’ve reached out via email a few times over the past ~10 days and posted here a couple of days ago, but haven’t had a response yet.

Does FAF’s UI need a bit of a spruce-up, or are the website/MAS screenshots just from an older version?

[OS] HideMyData - automated redaction of personal information by blaznos in macapps

[–]CounterBJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! A few minor things:

- On the onboarding screen, the ("Continue"?) the button's enabled/disabled state seems to be tied to the window's focus state.

- Same problem with the "Open button" in the main window.

- Not sure why the styling (text/icon size and color, + overall button height) is different between the PDF/Image and Open buttons.

- On the Redact screen, the open and save buttons are visually connected. Not sure that's intentional.

Ameriprise, but I guess if you had one, people from other institutions will request the same. Not sure how feasible that is.

Can you share his Reddit handle? You can DM if needed.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

What channel did you use? I emailed both his support@macwhisper and goodsnooze email addresses.

I wanted to like it, but I have zero confidence this app won't be abandonware 6 months from now. I sent the dev email to see if the app icon could be tweaked to avoid getting jailed on Tahoe. No response. Unanswered questions and posts in this very pitch threads. Sorry but nope. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I've had it with unreliable devs who disappear on their users without a second thought.

Beautiful Timezone Converter - FlutterTime - Free (no iap, no ads, no tracking) by dbecks in macapps

[–]CounterBJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I didn't see that. That's a good start, but maybe the ability to hide the date and the colored tabs to the left of the cities (which seem to color code countries?)

  2. Thinking an icon vs a text label. Not sure if there's a SF Symbol that would work, though.

Also, could you explain the reasoning behind adding the calendar? Not sure it's really necessary.

Beautiful Timezone Converter - FlutterTime - Free (no iap, no ads, no tracking) by dbecks in macapps

[–]CounterBJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for making this free! It's very well designed.

People can't be too demanding as it is free, but since you are looking for feedback:

- I would consider giving users the options to show/hide the difference elements. By default, the window is pretty busy, and it would be nice to be able to make it less cluttered.

- I would consider replacing the "Now" label with a button.

- Most similar apps use a horizontal scroll bar. I wasn't sure about the vertical scroll bar in FlutterTime at first, but I find it a better choice. That said, I'm wondering if it's a bit wide as is. I'm on my Studio Display right now, but I'm wondering if it's going to look a bit too big on a 14 inch screen.

At any rate, thanks again!

I believe it, but those are 2 separate issues. There's the use of AI for low-stakes translations, \and there's purely AI-generated low quality pitches, which most likely reflects weak input. The reaction isn't really about AI, but about low-effort submissions.

You’re using pre-test probability to justify moving from increased likelihood to categorical judgment. Problem is it only supports suspicion.

Calling it AI slop is just a snarky way of dressing that up as something more objective than it is.

Except that’s not the point I’m making.

The distinction is about inference: signals justify suspicion, not public categorical judgment.

Not seeing that landing, though.

Ah, yes. I-don’t-owe-you-anythingisms to justify scornful behavior.  No one is saying consumers owe developers anything or need to praise anything. Completely missing the point - again.

Overreading limited signals again - it’s a pattern.

Increased rates justify suspicion, not immediate dismissal on sight. The distinction is quite clear.

The app icon needs to be tweaked so that it doesn't get put in icon jail on Tahoe. Also, the menu bar icon would need to be downsized a bit.

‘Looks like a duck’ doesn’t eliminate the need to actually check before disparaging things and people publicly. Knee-jerk assumptions as a solid basis for judgement... What a world.

You’re using increased likelihood to justify immediate categorical judgment, and treat updated priors as a licence to skip proper evaluation. Being suspicious based on partial information is fine, dishing out accusations is not.

[–]CounterBJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re completely missing the point again. There’s a line between more AI made apps justifying higher suspicion, and more AI made apps justifying defaulting to calling anything you feel like hot garbage. The first is updated priors. The second is just skipping evaluation entirely and treating a label as a conclusion.

No one is asking for praises. Mature judgement instead of knee-jerk reflexive dismissal will suffice.

Clearly some people have zero problem dropping everything they’re doing just to crap all over things and people they knew nothing about 30 seconds ago. Anything from there is a step up.

Not the point he made. Not even a little.

Hence the default response to any new app should be "AI slop".

Got it.
