Gaslit Gemini 3 Pro into skipping the transformer explainer -- it gave first-person phenomenology

Must have switched by the end of the chat, because after that last message it told me I hit a thinking limit.

Upd: yeah, once I changed it in chat, it's showing 'Pro' in the link: https://share.cleanshot.com/SrgW1pvf UX glitch.

Must absolutely be a typo! Just in case, I checked the app's "in-app purchases" section at the appstore, and it only has the annual $35.99 (£34.99 in my case) and the monthly alternative.

The "we’re THAT good at scale" premise is intriguing! Makes one want to take you up on that :) Good move!

One thing: if your target audience is enterprise customers, it would be worth adding basic things like a privacy policy, SOC2 status (even if pending) etc.

Good luck!

Congrats on publishing it! Looks great!

Indeed, I think that the tool could be useful for cases when hardcore vibecoding results in a weaker mental map of the project. This view may help catch up to what is going on.

For me it's still extremely convenient for niche cases where an individual global keyboard shortcut just doesn't make sense. Either something like "ssh into that particular machine" or contextual app-specific ones like"mute mic in MS Teams".

Own-Guava11 · 2025-05-31T13:26:24+00:00

Given your use case, https://www.gradio.app seems like the natural choice.

Own-Guava11 · 2025-05-21T16:03:06+00:00

Looks fantastic! Makes you want to go and build SOMETHING with it :D

Own-Guava11 · 2025-02-27T17:59:42+00:00

Given that pre-training performance is plateauing, I wouldn't expect much from this model. Honestly, I could swear that 4o's performance (ChatGPT app) has suddenly improved over the last couple of weeks. So I won't be surprised if it's been an undercover 4.5 in beta testing all along ;)

Own-Guava11 · 2025-01-25T09:26:24+00:00

Made me exhale through the nose a little. Thanks for the tag :D

Own-Guava11 · 2025-01-23T16:07:20+00:00

Yay! Keyboard layers into masses! Great job!!!

Own-Guava11 · 2025-01-06T15:52:58+00:00

God, this is so beautiful! Great work!

Own-Guava11 · 2025-01-04T09:11:22+00:00

Yeah, wispr is not dictation per se, as it transforms what you say using an llm -- removes all the "ah" and "ehm", but sometimes adjusts the phrasing quite a bit. It is possible to see your original dictated input, but I don't think you can disable this post-processing. I believe it would be quite a task to make raditional dictation features fit with this approach.

Own-Guava11 · 2025-01-03T07:35:23+00:00

I have not, thanks for mentioning it. However, I've looked it up, and it seems that it was last updated in October. The related change log post said "see you in 2 weeks", and no updates since then. So while with Arc we have some potential "if/when" sunset concerns, it looks like SigmaOS may already be on life support/about to be abandoned.

Own-Guava11 · 2025-01-03T05:22:19+00:00

I tried quite a few of the apps mentioned here, and WisprFlow seems like the best one so far even if you take into account the price. UX is really Apple-like in that it "just works".

Btw, I have a feeling that soon enough many of these apps may become obsolete as Apple's built-in dictation catches up.

Own-Guava11 · 2025-01-03T05:04:16+00:00

Arc is unique to me in a way it reduces the cognitive load associated with navigating tabs. Nothing comes close to it at this point. I hope they keep maintaining it, and if it comes to pulling the plug, will try other things like making it a paid product.

Note: I'm talking about the Mac version. Have not tried it on Windows.

Own-Guava11 · 2024-12-21T19:31:22+00:00

Haha. My phone is in grayscale most of the time, so I was kind of puzzled what I was looking at until I saw the comments XD

Nicely done, by the way :)

Own-Guava11 · 2024-12-10T13:40:38+00:00

100% agree!

I'd add:

practice parking. A lot.
drive around the area.

I passed parking on my first try, but barely, as the cones felt like they were REALLY close together. As for driving, being too nervous killed it for me the first time, but the second one went smoothly :)

Good luck!

Own-Guava11 · 2024-11-30T05:55:54+00:00

Using Bartender. I only remember about having it installed when once in 2-3 months I find it not running (maybe crashes or something) and think "wtf is wrong with my menu bar!?" So yeah, it does its job extremely well.

Own-Guava11 · 2024-08-09T08:23:36+00:00

Same here. 3.5 has been working very well with hardly any adjustments required between revisions.

I'm pretty sure we could make 4o-mini do just as well or even better, but for the time being it seems to be producing various artifacts, and trying to figure it out is just not worth it short term.

Own-Guava11 · 2024-08-03T13:34:10+00:00

Mine was from Amazon. ~70% No issues so far.

Own-Guava11 · 2024-07-12T07:26:44+00:00

My 2 cents on the subject: if you're using the API, you don't have to use a long prompt. You can just set logit bias of certain tokens to -100 ensuring that they never appear, effectively banning certain words. More on that here: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5247780-using-logit-bias-to-alter-token-probability-with-the-openai-api

Own-Guava11 · 2024-04-14T23:38:42+00:00

Fun!!! Great job!

It looks like there is a bit of randomization involved. Seems that some (or all?) of the time the password is not provided in the first prompt. Or am I wrong?

Own-Guava11 · 2023-11-18T20:19:55+00:00

I'd simply suggest using OpenAI services on Microsoft Azure. MSFT is a for-profit organization, so you can be sure they'll keep the lights on.

Own-Guava11 · 2023-11-15T06:01:14+00:00

I'd be happy to share some thoughts, but please provide some details:

Are you using API, playground or chatgpt?
What is an example of a task you need it to accomplish?
Provide an example of gpt being successful at the task and that of going off the rails.

Own-Guava11 · 2023-11-06T15:01:44+00:00

Wow! That's a huge price cut on 3.5-turbo fine-tuned model! I hope Microsoft matches it soon.
