Thanks for sharing - I took a look at my own robots.txt and realised the sitemap was broken.

On a M4 Macbook Air, there was enough lag to make it unusable for me. I hit the shortcut and start speaking but there was always a 1-2sec delay before it would actually start transcribing even if the icon was displayed.

Curious if you were using AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones for this?

If so, there should be "keep microphone on" or similar setting in the config that may help with this, alternatively, I set my microphone to my MacBook mic so that my headphones aren't involved at all and there is much less latency on activation

Airpods Max (is that the name?) - the big ones.

Makes sense. If you enable the Debug menu (Shift+CMD+D), there is an option for "Always-On Microphone". Might be worth a try to remove that latency.

Yes, I’ve got the same situation too. I kind of learned to wait for one or two seconds before talking. I am using it with the AirPods, so maybe it’s indeed the Bluetooth thing.

What microphone are you using?

Yeah like the other commenters mentioned, using Bluetooth devices does not work super well at the moment. Hopefully I’ll have a fix at some point. There’s just some time over bluetooth to negotiate the connection and everything, and the app doesn’t do a good job showing this at all right now

On a Mac I definitely recommend using the internal mic even if wearing airpods

Thank you!

As per the OPs comment - but an email doesn't inherently come with

Would tend to agree. Interesting concept but unless it's all encrypted, I wouldn't trust this at all.

Connecting your washing machine to the internet and then observing the outgoing traffic and knowing that it is obscenely high simply IS tech-savvy as compared to the average person.

On HN or similar circles, maybe not - but that isn't Newsweek's audience.

Hundreds of thousands, in fact. But I bet it’s a downward trend with no hope of a turnaround.

I am fairly indifferent to Slack - I have to use it for work.

But our experiences seem so vastly different: - UI is, with the exception of large media, snappy and pretty native feeling - no jumps (that I can recall)

The mobile app is okayish though its offline indication and notifications are a bit frustrating.

What machine are you running it on?

Not sure if it might be related to specific instances, i.e. large organizations with hundreds of channels, etc like in my case... still, my workstation is pretty beefy, threadripper pro 7985wx, 256GB RAM, RTX 4080 (and this is no software issue, as other, much more resource intensive apps run just fine)... though slack is unmistakably sluggish, to the point of me being frustrated enough with it to complain about it here :)

just hate it.

Yeah I mean - that machine isn't going to struggle with much!

I'm on an M1 Mac and it's pretty smooth. Of course, maybe I just have terribly low standards.

Made me smile - great line.

I did read that but I don't think I am/was in ketosis - I've eaten a fair amount of carbs (rice/pasta/potatoes).
