Loved the "It’s Okay to Succeed in a Boring Way" segment. Most stuff (financial/health/etc.) is made FAR more complicated to make it interesting and generate sales/publicity. However, most of the stuff is pretty basic, but as you say "boring" so it gets ignored.
I met a writer this weekend who can't type well due to tremors caused by a medication he has to take. He was expressing his frustration with speech to text options and how he's though about quitting before.
Kind of crazy that just a day later I came across your point about human dexterity...
I've been really impressed with Whisper based speed-to-text. I'm currently using SuperWhisper, and before that I used MacWhisper. I'm sure there are also versions for Windows if that's what the writer you met uses.
I'll have to find out more - thanks for the recommendations!
BTW - your perplexity rec was a really good one, it comes up with some pretty comprehensive summaries against difficult lines of questioning. Impressive platform.

I think it's partly a symptom of what people *truly* focus on.
Most people are trying to social signal and are looking for other people's approval and to impress them rather than to actually succeed.

Great edition, as always.
Thank you Tiko!

Yea, I still use it daily. I'm happy to pay for it, GPT-4 tends to give really good answers.
Dragon Prince is a wonderful series. Thanks for the recommendation. This is the nightcap TV for me and kids 😀
Glad you and the kids are enjoying it!
My youngest is going around drawing imaginary runes in the air and screaming "ASPIRO!", haha
