stevenhubertron··on Dictation and Meeting App Sends to Apple Notes – Free and Local Models
Repo here: https://github.com/drkpxl/better-voice I cleaned it up a bunch as I did like 30 iterations of this before I was happy with it.
stevenhubertron··on Dictation and Meeting App Sends to Apple Notes – Free and Local Models
Hi I built this things for myself because I didn't want to have both a dictation app and a meeting app I had to pay for. After sharing it with some friends they said I should put it out there since it's free and solves problem lotsa paid apps do. There are certainly some rough edges but would love your thoughts.
stevenhubertron··on I used to love Claude, but the latest models are slowly ruining it
Same, I was just fighting it as it accused me over and over again of Ctrl+Cing a process that clearly errored out. 3 turns for it to find why the shell script actually crashed.
stevenhubertron··on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release
Wait till you hear about about CMS migrations I did before AI existed.
stevenhubertron··on Long Island's decommissioned nuclear power plant
I grew up there. I was maybe 14 so I have some memory of how worked up the community was. I remember people talking about building a bridge to CT since there would be no other way to get people off the island. It was such a fierce time then, nothing compared to nowadays about seemingly anything though.
stevenhubertron··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
Can you say a bit more about this? The bad tool calling has made me give up on using Gemma for my Hermes and a personal recipe site. I have only downloaded from Ollama.
stevenhubertron··on GLM 5.2 vs. Opus
No one has really talked about hybrid and using Opus to plan and orchestrate GLMs work both through initial build and code reviews. That’s a true best of both worlds and there doesn’t need to be a winner.
stevenhubertron··on MiniMax M3 vs. GLM 5.2: Codegen comparison across autonomous coding tasks
There are some out there I couldn’t find one quickly, but deep seek reasons way too much
stevenhubertron··on MiniMax M3 vs. GLM 5.2: Codegen comparison across autonomous coding tasks
This has been my experience as well to the letter.
stevenhubertron··on GPT-5.5 hallucinates 3x more than MIT-licensed GLM-5.2
The more I have been using 5.2 the more I have been impressed with it. And I’ve just been using the usually neutered ollama version.
stevenhubertron··on What the Fuck Happened to Nerds
I think it started with “developers developers developers” and kids went to colleges for CS degrees to get rich not to solve problems or geek out on hard problems but to get wealthy. That dropped in a lot of new personalities some of which were highly narcissistic.
stevenhubertron··on Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to ALPRs
Seems like a great use for Fable ;)
stevenhubertron··on WWDC 2026: Apple is Folding
For me at least the screen size isn’t the limiting factor the lack of a keyboard is. I don’t know why I’d choose this device over a Neo or Air + non-folding phone.
stevenhubertron··on Gemma 4 12B: A unified, encoder-free multimodal model
My guess is testing for Apple’s Siri replacement and partnership but that’s a total SWAG
stevenhubertron··on Creatine raises brain energy levels and slows cognitive decline: study
Headline stronger then the evidence.
stevenhubertron··on Incident with Actions and Pages
This is great because I finally set up Actions yesterday for a new project of mine and of course it’s failing today and thinking I screwed up the yaml.
stevenhubertron··on OpenTrafficMap
It's a Mapbox theme
stevenhubertron··on HERMES.md in commit messages causes requests to route to extra usage billing
The comment stream seems to point out they ARE getting refunded and its not refused.
stevenhubertron··on Finnish sauna heat exposure induces stronger immune cell than cytokine responses
Sample size is tiny fwiw.

Queue-It protected pages catch it as well and prevent crawling.
stevenhubertron··on Microsoft Copilot Update Hijacks Default Browser Links
I like how clicking through this article hijacked my browser and gave me a full screen add to sign up for this website.
stevenhubertron··on MacBook Neo
No. 8gb is fine for normal use.
stevenhubertron··on MacBook Neo
My M2 8gb ram is plenty for the use case the Neo fills. This is such a bad take.
stevenhubertron··on Ask HN: Share your productive usage of OpenClaw
Are we just allowing AI replies to a post about AI now?
stevenhubertron··on Long Range E-Bike (2021)
It does feel like this is such an untapped market. Think commuters, credit cart tourers, tourism around a spread out city. Something that is safer than a motorcycle and faster than a bike.
stevenhubertron··on Toyota’s hydrogen-powered Mirai has experienced rapid depreciation
Cars are not investments.
stevenhubertron··on Dune II written in HTML5/JS
this is such an unhelpful and unproductive comment.

This is a great port, and seeing the game and graphics brings back memories. Thank you for doing the port.

We would have been good friends then. My and my friend group watched it so many times.
