From the article:

> Some products can reorder radiologist worklists to prioritize critical cases, suggest next steps for care teams, or generate structured draft reports that fit into hospital record systems.

I, too, had the same frustration as you - until I figured out you can hold down the circular icon while you’re speaking then let it go when you’re done and it won’t interrupt you.

Edit: it looks like they updated the Voice Mode UI since I last used it - hopefully they retained this capability.

I play a daily game called FoodGuessr, where you guess the country that some kind of food came from

Would be fun to use this with that - thanks!

There are paradoxes and chicken-and-the-egg problems throughout the article:

> For me, something shifted in my late twenties. Growing up I guess you could call it. I don’t remember the exact straw that broke the camel’s back, but a desire for change grew.

> If you identity as a failure, incapable of achievement, unfit, unlovable, destined to play a bit-part role in your own story, then by heck no matter how much willpower you put in to push that boulder up the hill, it will return to its place.

> You have to actually want it.

How do you actually want to change? That part remains largely a mystery, and appears to be the all-important ingredient everything pretty much flows from.

At the end of the day, nobody knows why they want certain things - they just do. There is a lot of magic to that part. Where does "motivation" come from?

I go back and forth on this, but I pretty much settle on that motivation is the all-important ingredient which no one actually knows much about and all the rest is just backward-rationalizing to make ourselves feel good and feel that we have more agency than we really do.

People oscillate between rational and irrational motives. I reckon that motivation springs from either depending on the circumstance and the temperament of the individual. Such is the peculiar and special nature of man.

I think we go out of our way to rationalize decisions that emanate beyond reason because the truth is a lot more stark, and usually we only try to rationalize irrational choices when they backfire and we face criticism for them.

Allahu A’alam.

+1. His cs231n class he taught at Stanford gave me a great foundation.

Sometimes I'm debugging a Python script which is processing rich text data (e.g. images) and really miss the fact that I don't have access to the capabilities in a Jupyter notebook for displaying that data. So I made a little tool that allows you to insert a breakpoint into your Python script (an IPython kernel) and explore the current state in a Jupyter notebook.

In this way, extipy can be thought of as a rich-text debugger.

Do you know you can achieve the exact same functionality with the vscode's inline code execution in python files and can create jupyter like code cells with '# %%'?

No I’ve never heard of it — will play around with it later!

Thanks for mentioning it!

Okay I tried it out... it's pretty funky. I was expecting to get a fully featured Jupyter notebook, but the Interactive tab is more like a REPL because the "cells" are immutable. You can re-run the cells, which is something. It seems like it's somewhere between a REPL and a notebook.

Though interesting, this tool is unsatisfactory for my workflow - if it was I would have just stopped at using an IPython REPL (not being able to freely edit and manipulate cells is a deal-breaker for me).

There’s a Wendy’s near me that uses AI speech to text and it seems pretty flawless.

This was delightful - thank you!

This is why I love small phones - I’m able to reach and tap with left thumb quite easily on my iPhone SE.

I just paste a screenshot into a GitHub issue and use the link it gives me.
