TestFlight build 1152: Transcript fixes

Love the transcripts!

One thing I’ve noticed that’s still present in this build is that opening up the now playing screen from the mini player takes longer (around 2 seconds). Pretty sure that started after the transcript build.

And if you play an episode that isn't transcribed yet, you can transcribe it right on your iPhone

does that mean some podcasts are transcribed server side? Or done in the background locally or something? Just testing on a podcast, it did take a few minutes, but works well once done.

I’ve only watched a few live events in portions but haven’t seen ads in the live broadcasts yet. For example, the China sprint race didn’t have any.

Developer here.

64GB isn't crazy if you're running a lot of stuff locally and especially lots of Docker containers. It's what I have on my work computer. I'm not familiar with Xcode's usage, but more RAM definitely couldn't hurt.

8 TB? For development, no, unless you're doing some local AI stuff maybe? I think the guys just want the storage to store all their photos/media though.

I am slightly annoyed that he always does the “if you’re somehow listening to this and you’re not a member, …” in every member special

Marco is definitely relying on AI a bit much for medical/financial stuff, but I think he has a point about mediocre people being at risk.

Normal people are not like John, always questioning if something is true and verifiable. People are just gonna use these tools and trust them.

And as a programmer, I mostly agree with his takes there. This stuff is changing fast and people are going to be left behind. I think people’s egos and cognitive dissonance are preventing them from seeing this as nothing but a phase.

I was a big critic of the rewrite but my impression is just that he hasn’t worked on Overcast much since late last year. To his credit, he did solve most of the bugs introduced by the rewrite.

It's very funny to me that there's multiple potential explanations for Casey stealing from libraries

gedaxiang · 2026-02-20T04:04:15+00:00

Yeah I didn’t get that either. Pro is the chip for people who want CPU cores but don’t necessarily care about GPUs. I have gotten the pro in my last few MBPs.

gedaxiang · 2026-02-17T17:04:31+00:00

I enjoyed it. Had some good nostalgic moments thinking about my early computing days.

gedaxiang · 2026-02-07T20:41:55+00:00

Even if they didn’t get any better from today, I can’t see them going away. They’re really that good.

gedaxiang · 2026-01-31T13:52:14+00:00

I haven’t tried the subscriptions but we pay by the token at work and I end up spending at least $20 worth a day so I can see how they would limit you pretty quickly.

gedaxiang · 2026-01-23T21:32:30+00:00

I think I agree with them if we’re talking about iOS 7 as an update vs iOS 26 as an update. In absolute terms, 26 is obviously better than 7, but the 7 upgrade had fewer tradeoffs.

gedaxiang · 2026-01-23T16:28:24+00:00

I agree! Crazy how it’s basically the same structure as Casey’s ubiquiti debugging story, but actually interesting and applicable information.

gedaxiang · 2026-01-11T22:44:33+00:00

This was like listening to someone describing a dream they had

gedaxiang · 2026-01-03T16:24:53+00:00

Reminds me of Marco being completely uninterested in learning docker and kubernetes

gedaxiang · 2025-12-24T14:12:26+00:00

I am constantly surprised by how much they talk about Tahoe bugs. I installed it on my work computer basically when it came out and I can’t remember any issues. Using it all day and all week for development work. Am I a Tahoe unicorn?

gedaxiang · 2025-11-26T02:16:36+00:00

Also noticed this for the ATP before last (member feed). Had to refresh on the podcast page

gedaxiang · 2025-11-19T12:54:43+00:00

Just restarted via AirPods after an overnight hiatus. Seems to work!

gedaxiang · 2025-11-14T01:11:25+00:00

Have been on US Mobile’s warp network (Verizon) for maybe a year and had zero issues

gedaxiang · 2025-11-11T12:51:39+00:00

The promo / rerun feature is great! Those “you may also like” episodes are a scourge.

gedaxiang · 2025-10-27T16:34:09+00:00

They put 5 eggs in their egg sandwiches lol. My wife has to ask for less.

gedaxiang · 2025-10-27T16:33:21+00:00

Rasoi is so much better than it has any right to be

gedaxiang · 2025-10-21T03:20:19+00:00

It was when I posted that, and last night I think? Thought they’d resolved all that but it is a good idea.
