... noticed a change in the language AI was using. I don't know the exact technical cause, but these experiences made me think differently about communication with AI. When we're deep in a project, we naturally develop shorthand and assume that the meaning behind our words is understood. But commanding language, abstract concepts, and even something like "continuity" can carry implications we haven't considered. And when AI-generated interpretations become part of persistent project context, those interpretations ...

... courses to understand a language however some people genuinely want to learn new Languages. Comment from Yash Panpaliya(@yashpanpaliya): @narcismirandes  Your Catalan example makes this very concrete. English can carry the information; Catalan carries the memories and emotional shorthand behind it. Comment from Yash Panpaliya(@yashpanpaliya): @the_nimesh  That function versus

... correct a suggested time once and it remembers for that kind of task, so if your gym is an evening thing, "gym at 6" starts meaning 6 pm for you .. weekdays and weekends stay separate it picks up your shorthand and your usual typos too, and a name it doesn't recognise gets left exactly as you typed it all of that follows you between iphone, ipad and mac through your own icloud a speed pass, so the suggestion card ...

... extra key, and the reader gets English or any of 32 languages that Lispr translates to. I taught it the words that matter to us. Every project has terms no transcription model knows: client names, service names, internal shorthand. I added ours to the vocabulary list once, and they come out spelled correctly now. The app looks at recent dictations and adds new ones it has seen me fix. People keep asking us for this, so it is worth saying ...

... median points needed to break the top 5 and top 10 on each day. Check the full report here: https://app.databox.com/shared/a... The short version: Saturday is the easiest day. Only 266 median points to crack top 5, vs 360 on Wednesday. That's a 35% harder climb on the worst day vs

... original post and moving on. Comment from Gal Dayan(@galdayan): my graveyard entry is Things 3, not because it lacked features but because opening it felt like starting a mini project just to write "buy milk". the capture-vs-organize framing is right. genuinely curious about the "your input never reaches me, all on-device" line though. natural language date/time parsing with all the shorthand

... that quick in daily use? Comment from Sze Ching Voon(@sze_ching_voon): Capture before you lose it is the whole game. What's worked for me: I keep one plain-text file open and type the thought in shorthand, like "call sam 3pm 30m," and it parses into a scheduled task with no modal. The part that mattered most wasn't the parsing, it was killing the form. If there's a date picker between the thought ...

... Comment from Jim Jeffers(@jim_jeffers): The wall I see most often is not capability, it s hidden vocabulary. The demo uses clean nouns: customer, account, renewal, approved vendor. Production uses internal shorthand, old spreadsheet names, half-deprecated fields, and exceptions everyone just knows. The agent can reason fine and still pick the wrong thing because the organization never wrote down what those words mean in the real workflow. The partial fix is boring but useful: before rollout, make ... ... makes the mess visible enough to design around. Comment from Nolan Vu(@nolan_vu): @jim_jeffers  The wall I see most often isn t capability it s hidden vocabulary. Demos use clean, standard terms. Production runs on internal shorthand

... something people are grateful they used, even if they move on. Comment from Mona Truong(@monatruong_murror): @riya_pariyar  You're right, and I think "intentional usage" is actually the better framing. We've been saying "less" as shorthand, but what we really mean is: the product should serve you when you need it and get out of the way when you don't. The users who come back three times a year during real moments those ... ... already understood wellness or mental health they got it immediately. But for generalist investors, we had to reframe. Instead of saying "our power users barely use us," we'd say: "Our users reach meaningful outcomes faster than any competitor

... from Siena Wigley(@sienawigley): @busmark_w_nika  Great question, Nika! Asexual people are absolutely welcome in Figs. The way I usually describe it is that Figs is for queer women, trans and non-binary people - but that s shorthand, not a limit. Our community is for anyone who feels at home in queer spaces and aligns with the values of respect, inclusivity, and connection. Comment from Siena Wigley(@sienawigley): @busmark_w_nika  Yes it's good thanks! There ...
