However, it quickly transformed into my main project.It's a free macOS app written in Swift that allows you to type with your voice. It supports local models and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) with a bunch of providers.You can assign different models and post-processing steps to polish the text. For example, I have a setup for…

I’m grateful to Olena of Clario for informing me that there’s a new campaign in progress to deliver AMOS (alias SOMA) stealers to Macs. You can read Vladyslav Kolchin’s account of this in his blog post. Vladyslav has discovered these in forged Apple-like sites linked from docs.google.com and business.google.com, as well as in articles posted on Medium. I had success…

I saw some interesting posts I wanted to call attention to: First, Simon Wardley on building things without understanding how they work: Here’s Adam Jacob in response: And here’s Bruce Perens, whose post is very much in conversation with them, even though he’s not explicitly responding to either of them. Finally, here’s the MIT engineering professor Louis Bucciarelli from his book…

Think about the galleries of ant colonies, the absurdly perfect hexagons of honeycombs, or the veins on a leaf. No architect, no blueprint. Just simple rules stacking on each other that result in beautiful patterns. I can’t explain why, but seeing those structures always felt good. Humans do this too. And for me, one of the most fascinating patterns we’ve come up…

The joys of working on an internal tool where you only need to worry about latest Chrome, and playing with anchor positioning in a production app while it’s still experimental!…

mattst88’s blog – Reverse Engineering the PROM for the SGI O2

💥 Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Reverse Engineering the PROM for the SGI O2 Since the early 2000s, the potential for upgrading the CPU in the Silicon Graphics O2 with a 900 MHz RM7900 has been blocked by the inability to modify the PROM firmware. To that end, I built ip32prom-decompiler, a program that decompiles the PROM into sources that can be reassembled into a bit-identical image. The decompiler goes to great lengths to produce assembly that is understandable and modifiable by replacing known constants, recognizing and replacing memory addresses with…

AI Makes the Easy Part Easier and the Hard Part Harder for Developers

✨ Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: A friend of mine recently attended an open forum panel about how engineering orgs can better support their engineers. The themes that came up were not surprising: Sacrificing quality makes it hard to feel proud of the work. No acknowledgement of current velocity. If we sprint to deliver, the expectation becomes to keep sprinting, forever. I've been hearing variations of this for a while now, but now I'm also hearing and agreeing with "AI doesn't always speed us up". "AI did it for me"…

Here at Toma (YC W24), we are bridging this gap by providing a customer-centric platform to deploy and monitor…
