I would argue that recording a five minute message is discourteous to the recipient" With Pop, you get to have it both ways! Voice messages as long as you like and as courteous as any text. How? @pop_voicemsg provides *actually correct transcripts* and Magic Edit to summarise and edit those transcripts. You can even delete your mistakes in the audio and carry on recording. On Pop sending voice messages as clear and courteous as any text message is the norm. Link in bio!

@DuncanAdley We just launched our app today that hopes to fix that by giving you a great transcript, editing of voice messages & more.

It's launch day for the future of voice messaging! Everyday messaging but with voice notes as first class. Great transcripts, edit your recording before you send & more. Link in bio, available now on iOS & Android

The surest way to conceal information from me is to put it in a voicenote

@caincurrency It’s mostly voice to text based, voice messaging. No text to speech yet (although it’s an obvious addition that we should get to).
English
@J_L_Colvin learning that sometimes you're not going to figure out what's working and what's not until you launch. also, just checked out what you're building. is it a text to voice tool? Because I'm looking for one that's better than the open AI tts one.
English
Hard to explain how scary it is to say to the world: “here, this is what I have done”.
There’s always one more fix, one more feature, one more thing to decide. But at a certain point you just have to press “go”.
Probably should have been pressing go every week tbf!
English
Being able to just tell the app to summarise & clean up the text of your ramblings is a game changer for not pissing people off with your voice notes.
Pop@pop_voicemsg
Change the text by magic, just say what you want to change.
English
It's been a long time coming..
Very excited to show everyone what @JoeDLColvin & I have been working on for what feels like forever!
We believe in messaging, voice & the machine that understands you, that's the future of computing. Pop is our first step in to that future.

@BarneyFlames This is very easy to test personally. You can, for example, go sit under a tree. You could even take a thermometer if you like.

More 70 IQ content, apparently Trees can defeat the laws of thermodynamics
Rishabh Shrivastava@Writer_Rishabh
We did this simple experiment last year. As the temperature spikes across the country, one straightforward and effective solution is protecting and planting trees. Period. But guess what? We love complicating things. So we will keep talking about heat action plans, notifications, AI-based solutions, cooling, and keep cutting trees in the name of development. Welcome to hell! Climate change is real!

@grok @typesfast @CJHandmer @grok comparing only between planes currently commonly used for commercial passenger transport in the US, are the newer ones commonly flown slower?
English
Yes, newer commercial jets generally cruise slightly slower than older ones from the 1960s-80s for fuel efficiency.
Ex: Boeing 707 ~600 mph (Mach ~0.82-0.85).
Modern 787/777 ~560 mph (Mach 0.85 typical, but optimized lower).
Lower speed cuts drag & burn, which also helps emissions—newer planes win there via engines & design, not top speed.
English
The lowest emissions planes are the newest / nicest ones
Vic 🌮@VicVijayakumar
literally no one buys their flight based on emissions, this is useless information

@ChefReactions While I do agree that London isn’t scary at all, “every city has bad parts and crime” is a bit of a cop-out, some cities are very much more dangerous & some are quite a lot safer, crime-level is not just some unavoidable constant of urbanisation. The level matters a lot!
English
@dshensmith @OliLondonTV Honestly, nabbing some already-provided wine to take away is one of the more likeable behaviours you’ll see in a room like that.
English
@OliLondonTV Hm.. Stealing or just taking as the table was likely paid for? and only stealing if it was dishonest, which we can't infer from this video done in full public view.

@usr_bin_roygbiv @typesfast I don’t think you know what planes are what
English
@typesfast I would far rather they just put the model so I could avoid the old ass a350/380s and take all the 787 flights with good air pressure

my brain has a whole region dedicated to rebasing
Podcast Notes 🗒️@podcastnotes
Your brain has a region that only grows when you do things you don't want to do. It's called the anterior mid-cingulate cortex. It's also the same region associated with the will to live. Watch David Goggins' face when Huberman tells him this for the first time.

Just saw a well dressed woman in her 40s who thought that “tap to pay” meant “do a big exaggerated ‘tap’ motion”.
It didn’t work (phone wanted biometrics), she just went for a more dramatic tap.
Probably she is competent in other ways, but… yeah. Lots of variety in this world.

@deadalnix @questionableway The giant blender reinterpretation definitely makes it feel different. “If enough of us climb in to the giant blender, maybe it won’t be strong enough to start blending people” ok but like… how about we all just don’t get in to the blender?
English
@questionableway Immagine yourself in a group of people you know are likely to vote red. What would you vote?
Red is not necesserly selfish, but it's low trust indeed.
English
red is an unbelievably phenomenally disgustingly selfish decision and i do not have theory of mind for anyone who would choose it
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@krxsctr Both round down to free unless you’re trying to help a blue whale OD. And both are available even cheaper than that in both countries.

on the other hand this is how much a generic paracetamol costs in the US Vs UK
Arb@ArbResearch
You can't buy melatonin in the UK. But in the US, it's hard to avoid: it's an ingredient in gas station soft drinks. How general is this kind of thing? Our new beige site looks at every case where medical regulators disagree about whether to approve a medicine (+ does much more)
