Not at all, that's fair to ask!

Right now the focus is on moving to our new hardware, with some more details in the body of this post.

Once that's done we will be able to spin up additional services much more easily, and it will also change our estimated financial situation (donations vs. costs etc.)

We've also been busy the past few months with other things (especially me) and so I haven't been able to post updates as often as I would have wanted to. Thankfully I've got a lot more time in the new year so that should be different moving forward :)

Was there a certain aspect you wanted to hear back on? I can write up more details on that in the meantime

I went in with a similar thought, but the video explained it better

I was expecting them to compete against a rapper or something, but what they meant was being faster than conversational speeds

Someone who is mute explained to them about not being able to communicate at the same rate as other people during conversation, despite being able to think and absorb info at the same speed.

So they put some time into recommendations of a text-to-voice setup, demo-ed it in the video, and put the source CAD files / app open for people to use + offered to help anyone else for whom the tech might change their lives

I'm not sure if the keyboard will catch on, but I thought that attempt was cool

You don't need to register as it is a free drop-in session

This is a Drop-in session. No 'registration' required ...(BUT! Registering with Meetup will give you reminders and the ability to schedule this on your calendar.)

Do you have any thoughts or plans on open-sourcing how the calculations are done? Assuming the values used in the calculations aren't proprietary, it might be cool to do that :) That way no one can argue that the math is wrong.

You don't have to, I think it's rare for a company to do that, but it might fit with the transparency bit. Alternatively, if you list out where the numbers are coming from so that people can confirm the details manually.

Very cool regardless :)

My other suggestion would be to link information about the different types of heat pumps, or a guide on how to get the efficiency value. Similarly, if the heat pump question was at the end, in a toggle format so people can easily swap between the options and compare

That is odd, I'm on Boost as well and haven't noticed this. I'll pass it along to the team and poke around!

The outage was a hardware issue and I don't think we changed any site configuration since then. At least on our end, having the hardware replaced seemed to have fixed the occasional hiccups we were seeing.

In the meantime, could you try clearing the app's cache? Boost lets you make a backup of the settings, which can help give peace of mind before doing resets.

If anyone else has this problem, please do share!

I was going to try and edit in some more "AI"s but it's already near saturated

They even changed their name to SoundHound AI?

The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

Ok now that's cool. Since it's often all doom and gloom here, celebrating good tech is a nice change :)

I looked up "Parent AI", and was disappointed

That all sounds delicious 😊

also thank you for adding photos of the process in the comments!

Wow those are beautiful, what are the flavors?
