Do you transfer the files to your computer? Do you ever/often listen on the VoiceTracker? How do others respond to you making recordings? Do you organise the recording files into folders? Use filesystem tags (KDE Dolphin, etc) or symlinks? Ever have files on the computer that you needed when you're out (with the phone)?
How well do Otter and Whisper transcribe? Do you edit the transcriptions? How do you store the transcriptions? Do you ever search them? Do you store additional notes alongside the transcriptions and audio files?
Do you ever bookmark specific files? Specific timestamps in files? How long is your typical voice recording? How long are the 98th percentile long ones? How many recordings do you produce on average (per day, week, month)? Do you ever erase recordings?
What type of recordings? Reminders of things that are time sensitive (e.g. appointment dates)? Things for long-term archival (e.g. records of automotive maintenance)? Use it to assist in habit changing (recording diet) or mental health?
Yes, I intend to place the project on GitHub, probably GPL. Though I might consider MIT, I would actually love if somebody took off with it and made a business. I'd be a customer!
Truth is orthogonal to effort. Alice crafted a message. She distilled years of experience into a pithy tweet. Bob crafted a message to round out his brand.
I want to hear what others truly believe.

Where can I learn more about this? (serious)

Is the incentive to work different? I thought it worked like this:
Under UBI if you earn $1 you are always $1 richer. Under negative income tax, if you earn under some threshold, when you earn $1 you are < $1 richer because the govt will hand you less.
> Demo-2 is the final major test for SpaceX’s human spaceflight system to be certified by NASA for operational crew missions to and from the International Space Station.
The two astronauts along with the Falcon 9 will be docking with the ISS and then returning home. No crew swap is happening, which seems like a waste of energy. I get that SpaceX isn't "operationally certified", but is a crew swap inherently more risky?
They will stay for 1 to 4 months. Its apparently partially dependent on whether they are prepared to launch the first actual crew mission on Aug 30.
A crew swap would require astronauts that are on station to return on the dragon, something they may not have trained for. So to do a swap, you'd probably have to take more than just the two test pilots up since they are likely required to pilot the capsule back down. Taking additional crew on the test flight would certainly be more risky to those additional lives.
The mission was initially intended to be a short, crewed test flight, lasting only a week and a half but the spacecraft that was planned to be used for this was lost in a test accident.
Now they are flying on its successor capsule which is rated for much longer (iirc up to 110 days of) space operations. This allows NASA to extend the mission and lets the astronauts Hurley and Behnken help out on the ISS which are currently short on people iirc. They received training for this extended mission in the last few month.
> The two astronauts along with the Falcon 9 will be docking with the ISS and then returning home
Just to be clear, the Falcon 9 is the booster that never gets to orbit. It's not going to the ISS- not moving fast enough to achieve orbit. Just the little Dragon spaceship on the nose of the rocket will get to the ISS.
> No crew swap is happening, which seems like a waste of energy. I get that SpaceX isn't "operationally certified", but is a crew swap inherently more risky?
Believe it or not, they've sent this 7-seat spacecraft to the ISS already (well, the same model) just to verify it could do it. It arrived empty, it went home empty (except for a plushy that stayed behind). The point is that SpaceX is going to be doing this maybe hundreds of times in the future, but the first time, they want to minimize the number of people that could die if something goes wrong.
Remember, this whole test would have been done 6 months ago except that the sister to this spaceship unexpected exploded during a simple ground test. This stuff is dangerous.
I also deleted my account and encouraged others to do so. I'd love to see their account metrics and to know whether the reason for the decision reversal was primarily driven by individual email responses, HN/reddit outrage, or mass account deletion.
> No human should be made to do such mindless work.
In the US, nobody is _made_ to do such work. However, until it is automated there will always be a price for it in the labor market.
> And for $13.75 an hour, it definitely isn't worth it.
Presumably the mindless nature of the work increases the wages. Do you recall the minimum wage in that region at the time?
I’m trying to arrive at is a logical sequence of steps like: the less desireable work is, the higher it’s price in the labor market. It’s more profitable to automate more expensive labor. Thus, by quitting you shortened the time-to-automate.
Parent had said that only the presidential elections need to be single-winner.
In Australia the head of government is the Prime Minister - curiously the specifics of that role are absent from our constitution, as it was evidently assumed to be a given. Head of State remains the reigning monarch of the Commonwealth, but that's a slight aside.
Prime Minister is not elected by the gen pop, despite many citizens of AU believing it to be the case. The 150 elected representatives in the parliament actually choose amongst them who the Prime Minister shall be -- a potentially very civilised approach to leadership elections.
Anyway, I'm not sure that I can defend myself against your claims about my personal observations.
Perhaps you could give it a go, and see if you get the same trends of responses that I described.
On occasion I've used Otter or Whisper with some success.
Please let me know if you open source any of your work.
