- Voicy Review: I Replaced My Keyboard With My Voice
As a writer who tests and reviews AI software, I spend most of my day with my hands on a keyboard: researching a new tool, testing it for myself, and then writing up exactly what I found. In the end, typing becomes the bottleneck. I can talk through what I liked or didn't like about a tool a lot faster than I can type it out, so I've always been curious about whether or not voice dictation could actually speed up my workflow. That's what drew me toward Voicy. It promises 99%+ accuracy across 50…

- Your Edge Device Was Benchmarked on a Forward Pass. Your Agent Will Run a Loop.
The hardware conversation about edge AI has become a great deal more honest in the last year. A recent piece on this site argued that the old design hierarchy — "maximize throughput, then manage power and thermals around it" — has inverted, and that for industrial deployments power now takes top billing, with raw throughput coming last. It follows an argument this publication has been making for a while: that edge devices are "thermal-limited, not MIPS/compute-limited", and that smartphones sit…
