Trying to practice my Spanish, I repeat phrases like “con leche de almendra” in my head as I walk to the coffee shop… But then they speak in English anyway. One of these days I will learn the language for real. Need to ramp up my Duolingo time.

Catching up on this news from Mark Gurman about the upcoming Siri redesign, with a dedicated app and more conversational interface:

The app’s main interface will display prior conversations in either a list or a grid of rounded rectangles with text previews. Users can pin favorite chats, save older conversations, search across interactions and start new chats via a prominent plus button.

This all sounds pretty reasonable.

Hello from Spain! Just arrived and found a nice little coffee shop in Cádiz. How did I get here…? I recorded a new episode of Timetable to share the first part of my trip. 🇪🇸

A narrow, cobblestone alley is bordered by colorful, traditional European buildings with balconies on either side, leading into the distance under a clear blue sky.

Compared the transcript from Apple Podcasts with the transcript we generate in Micro.blog using GPT. They’re both good, but ours is nearly flawless, while Apple Podcasts has a few minor mistakes.

It’s great that apps have transcripts. I still want to control this and have my own (editable) copy.

This looks like a great update to the Post Stats plug-in. Thanks @amit!

If your blog is on Micro.blog and you’ve been blogging for a while, try the new setting on the Design page to upgrade to Hugo 0.158. For my blog — almost 10k posts — the new version makes a huge difference in speed. We’re now using Hugo’s new renderSegments feature to optimize publishing.
