My highly respected PhD promotor was recently diagnosed with a type of cancer. He just told me that, apart from the doctors, there is a technical support team of 140 people supporting the entire diagnostic and treatment process.

不知为不知 一个人到了一定年纪、有了一定地位之后,往往更难坦然承认自己不知道。可你是不是知道、是不是在胡扯,别人其实很容易听出来。与其用所谓的“大的图景”掩饰自己的局限,不如卸下伪装,对自己诚实,对他人诚实。 halfatree.page/articles/kno...

The funny part is, when I first used Typeless, I thought: “Wow, my English is getting so good—even AI can recognize everything I’m saying!” Then I tried other software. Turns out, it’s Typeless that’s good, not my English. 😂 #Typeless #VoiceToText #AITools

Shenglai @shenglai.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
And even after setting up SuperWhisper, I still find it less accurate at capturing what I’m actually saying. So I circled back to Typeless. I think it’s still the best one out there for me: fast and surprisingly accurate.

Shenglai @shenglai.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
I used Typeless for a while and liked it, but it sometimes changes my original wording too much. So I tried a bunch of alternatives. SuperWhisper is fine, but customizing it and choosing the right models for personal needs is complicated.

《台湾漫游录》书评 这本小说很有野心,在这么短的篇幅里塞进了三个非常明显的标签:食物与旅行、女女情爱、以及后殖民反思。总的来说,它是一部非常精巧的文学艺术品,但我觉得还不够好。 halfatree.page/articles/tai...

I've found that sometimes even established professors can confuse hypothesis development with speculation. And the best part is when they're really confident about their speculated hypothesis, it is just so funny 😂 #science #research #academia
