@mobbin looks like you have a bug with MCP auth in Claude Clode (Mac terminal): when OAuth in the link errors out. It looks like your MCP is registering OAuth clients dynamically with Supabase, but Supabase isn't recognizing the format.

this convinced me my .md agent context files are way too long. maybe it will convince you too? https://t.co/6JcVoSEkjZ

@tankots @WisprFlow Wispr Flow makes a lot of mistakes for me, particularly at the end of sentences, adding phantom words I didn't say. It feels like it's getting worse over time.

@AdamSinger @garrytan No it's not... few big companies, no matter how forward thinking, make bespoke roles for 22 year-olds. Founders & some new grads see the world in explore mode, asking "what if?". Big companies are in exploit mode.

I wish Figma had the product walkthrough feature that InVision used to have. It was so useful for remote feedback!

Pumped for GPT-4o! It's exactly what I want as a builder working on conversational AI experiences. Audio orchestration companies: how are you gonna survive? Retell, Vapi, Hume: thoughts and prayers. Yeesh!

@DeepgramAI @OpenAI Whisper responses:
Median: 0.615s
Mean: 0.645s
Standard deviation: 0.143s

Nova 2 responses:
Median: 0.977s
Mean: 1.804s
Standard deviation: 2.682s

[bmac @heybmac]

Comparing the latency of @DeepgramAI's Nova 2 to @OpenAI's Whisper. I sent the same ~5s audio clip to each API 100x and measured the response time in seconds.

tl;dr: Whisper is 2x faster than Nova 2 (mean vs mean).

[bmac @heybmac]

@DeepgramAI @OpenAI More detail:

Nova had all the fastest (<400ms) & slowest (>2s) times, but on average 2x slower.

Whisper is consistent but never extraordinary.
Nova is all over the place: sometimes fast, sometimes glacial.

#3 That thing you keep coming back to, just go do it

I played corporate for so long. I had a side hustle every year for 10 YEARS while in big finance. Why? The work never fulfilled me but I was scared.

Just do it.

A reminder that victory would be George Floyd being alive. Every day Black Americans worry if they will be next is another day without justice.

[bmac @heybmac]

Now to build a system where justice arrives in Black people’s lives, not only after their death.
