So typing isn’t fast enough to burn all the daily tokens?
if you talk AND type you can burn twice the tokens and get the same result! it’s a win win win
Have you seen people type? Toich-typing is a lost artform.
They don’t even have to do that. Just don’t pack them in like sardines.
in this one picture, I see generations of so many individual great ideas coalescing into one fantastically bad idea (and stupidly comical consequence) that is so… bizarre that I can both simultaneously understand why nobody really saw it coming, and am in low-key disbelief that this is even real…
I mean, that’s a steno mask, and anyone who’s had issues with hand pain but wants to communicate via text has probably wished for something resembling this. The problem is that they’re obnoxiously expensive. (And they look ridiculous, but that’s its own issue.)
When I’m in public, I wish people had these. I neither need nor want to listen to your phone conversations.
Their price is so dumb, that thing shouldn’t cost that much
Just like those accessibility tools that let you use control the mouse pointer using only your mouth etc etc, they have stupid prices when some aren’t even that complex
They’re a niche product that has a very solid use case (court transcripts). They require far less training than a stenotype, but because they’re so niche, the people who do make them can more-or-less charge what they want. If we’re being less skeptical, the low demand means the manufacturers can’t take advantage of the efficiencies of scale, so the price remains high.
I just cannot tell if this is satire or not
Welcome to clown world!
Mate they could just type out the prompt instead of dictating with the vader mask.
Isn’t it cheaper and quieter to just type out your prompts?
This is akin to people who have conversations on speakerphone in public places.
AI needs to measure the level of confidence in your voice, to calibrate its bullshit accordingly
I wonder if anyone owns a patent on this idea.
you assume that vibe-coders can actually touch type. or type at all.
Or be capable of critical thinking.
Speaking is faster than typing, I guess?
Maybe for Eminem.
Older people such as myself tend to hate voice-to-text I think because it was so awful in the past. And if you screwed up with it in the past it was a less understandable excuse that “I was using voice-to-text.” And because we were all forced in some way to learn to type well.
Voice to text works a little bit better now. And I think younger people know everyone else uses it and to forgive when it screws up.
I hate it because it’s generally intensely US-centric. Not understanding non-US accents or terms.
Voice to text is better for you now than it was in the past? I remember in 2014 voice to text worked great for me. Now it hardly ever works.
Maybe this was designed for illiterate coders.
Did the CEOs unplug their keyboards? Wtf even is this?
Why stop at feeding? Where’s the penis and vagina tubes? We might as well be jorkin’ it too if all the rich and powerful are.
It does mention “all the other tubes”. I wonder if it will be THX 1138 style.
I hope its like a Geigeresque device that makes us sit shrimp style and cups backwards from our gooches to our mouths.
Pleasure? I think not.
Or, listen me out, they could work from home.
Working from home doesn’t appeal to the emotional needs of fragile managers.
It doesn’t appeal to the emotional needs of a bunch of my colleagues who are in the office every day voluntarily either.
Yeah, I have colleagues who choose to work in the office when work from home is available because they like the separation of work from home, don’t have a good spot to work from home, are aware they would be distracted at home, prefer to see other people in person, and a bunch of other reasons. At least they get a choice!
Every day I’m a little surprised there’s no news story of some workers beating their “no, you have to come into the office” manager to death. They’ve got means, motive, and opportunity, and it’s extra funny because if they’d been allowed to work at home they wouldn’t have at least two of those.
But really we’re ruled by the worst of us. Cowards and fools.
Maybe unionizing is safer than hitting the decision makers with an office chair while screaming “you made this possible” until they can’t even cry anymore.
Well what I’m trying to tell you is that there are probably more people than you realise who want to be in the office. My partner, and a bunch of my coworkers, hated being forced to work from home during the pandemic. So maybe that’s part of the reason.
Oh, I read your thing backwards then.
I can’t imagine wanting to go into the office on the regular. The commute. The lost time (can math out to like a 20% pay cut, if you spend two hours a day traveling + getting ready). The sickness. The lack of control over environment (temperature, sound).
Can’t relate to it. And I’m a very social person that likes interacting with people.
Hook it up to a bong and you’ve suddenly made work a hell of a lot more interesting.
The real vibe coding
Anyone needs handmade wooden furniture?
Because that’s what i’m going to be switching careers to if that trend comes to my place.
Woodworking is surprisingly popular among tech folk. It seems some hobbies just click better for techies. Bouldering is another example.
Never hesitate to rescue wooden pallets, but don’t waste gas on retrieving them either. You can use an iron railroad tie as a chisel for dismantling them

how does a headset isolate their voice

I’m not talking about the people on the other end of the call, I’m talking about the jackass eight feet away dictating things to his imaginary friend while I’m trying to have a conversation with somebody

I imagine it’s like the Active Noise Canceling (ANC) mode of headphones which will monitor background noise and then calculate the inverse sound wave and play that sound to you which in effect mostly cancels out the background noise (works better for certain frequencies than others). For a microphone they could do the same but instead of playing you the inverse sound, they could play it through the microphone for whomever is listening.
This is such a Kafkaesque cyberpunk dystopian problem. This is needed because owners and managers want open offices for surveillance and coat cutting. They are also aware that only about half of workers thrive in those environments while the other have drops in productivity. Solution a cheap muzzle so that the workers who aren’t as productive in noisy environments aren’t disturbed.
Meanwhile could you imagine the smell of those things. You’d have to wash them everyday or have some kind of cover for them not to just have a permanent funk.
Back in the day there used to be specialized equipment for this purpose called an office, of which you had your own and could close the door to
That’s for management though, the lackeys are kept in cubicles, or the isocubes if they misbehave.
Now is oriffice 😔
This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository…
You win best comment award on this thread. 🏆
If you’re brave enough, anything can become a suppository.
Started hating working in tech a year ago and got out.
What’d you move to?
Retired and living from investments. I’m 51 so was working in tech for a long time.
Start investing if you aren’t.
I have been, but I sure wasn’t in tech… never made even $75k any year in my whole life. Maybe I could harness AI to change that…
