Your sky is really well done, just enough texture.

@gdupont pointed out I could just disconnect from internet and wifi and test it again. So I did.

And it works great! It really must be doing most of the work locally, including the more fancy stuff where it goes back and fixes words as you add more context.

That makes me very happy because I like this feature.

@gdupont @canacar

“this is a test of the speech to text function to see if it’s able to work when my phone is not connected to the Internet. Given a context, such as writing about ants can it understand a word like integument the outer EXO skeleton of an ant.”

That’s not bad at all!

I think the "generative" adjective is about if one is using the training data to correctly match, or to extrapolate.

Sometimes when I do dictation there is a loud noise or I mumble: I get a bunch of nonsense. The new nonsense is much more like normal sentences. It's doing a better job guessing in that way. I said a sentence and it only has a few sounds so it gives me a sentence (the wrong one)

But this same improvement lets it get words right more often.

@MCDuncanLab

I just have seen the one video. I really like "cleaning transformations" but most of the people who do them are kind of horrible about it in some ways.

@enriquericos

I love the mood and colors of this photo.

@gdupont @canacar

I will try this and see. I'm annoyed I didn't think of it.

@MCDuncanLab

I assumed that was jokes?

hmm.

@aaron.rupar

This will lead to many other nations doing more, or restarting testing.

Maybe they want the cold war ethos of fear back for us all? I'm trying NOT to see this as an attempt to get a compelling war going ... but I'm failing.

@evan

Something very "fedi" about calling what is CLEARLY a brew house a "pub"

As if every pub makes its own beers.

@jpm

poor girl is having an extensional crisis over the implications

"the horrors have arrived ... and yet I live"

very relatable.

@semitones

Water is very sticky for small insects she may have been trying to dry off to give flying another go. I have seen them recover from falling in the pool... but sometimes they are too tired out.

Because of the large abdomen and wings it was probably a queen. If the abdomen was pointy and the head smaller it could be a male.

@swampgas

if you say so

@temporal_spider

"I need to recycle perfectly" can be an obstacle to making a place safe, clean and livable. It's easier to treat each trash item with care when you aren't overwhelmed.

And it's not ideal, but yeah.

@temporal_spider

Recycling is work.

@jannem @tsturm @canacar

It's gonna change more lives than chatbots for the better.

Think of the applications to teaching things like writing.

Think about me writing more because I get sick of typing and now I can go for a walk instead and keep going.

@mawhrin

Both of these people are artists, so it's very easy to get them to see the flaws. They have exacting outrageous standards for their work. But they still somehow have moments where they buy in "this tech can do it for me"

no it can't!
you are too powerful and good for that to be true!

@apLundell

Why isn't functional speech to text more of a big deal? Seems like a massive tech win that could change workflows all over the place.

But, I will say something like "have you tried to get it to do any moment from the script?"

And this is when they say "yeah, it was hard it couldn't get the faces right..." etc. Because that's where this stuff fails.

But then they say "soon it will be better"

It's been three years.

But also, I don't know what we are arguing about? I guess if it did work ... great. But it doesn't.

Maybe they just want me to share the sense of ... hope? It's hard. This has been such a massive mess.
