Doesn’t seem extensive enough I’d rather have the AI check just to be sure


Missing the forest for the trees.


Are there any good libraries for the opposite, going from markdown to pdf or docx? Pandoc gets most of the way there but struggles with certain things like tables.


Working on this over at https://beta.flexibly.ai


Do you have a mockup video or docs or something that would help me get a better sense of what this hopes to be? I'm not able to find much info on the linked page or on X about it.


By this logic there shouldn’t be regulation on anything, because the bad guys will have it any way.

While you can’t make it go away, you can disincentivize propagation and use which can be the difference between thousands of cases of scams/extortions and millions. Until there’s a stronger argument for voice cloning models (talking to a dead loved one is creepy and not a positive argument) then we shouldn’t encourage tools with overwhelmingly nefarious utility.


That's correct, I believe it shouldn't be illegal to know anything. Nor do I think science needs any kind of regulation.

Hurting people, lying, that's already illegal.

I think Maybe you misunderstood my argument. My argument isn't that good guy with a voice cloaner is the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a voice cloaner. That's, as you pointed out, stupid. My argument is that no one benefits if how easy it is to make one remains a secret to everyone but the bad guys.


There may be some places that are easier than others, but in my experience it's the consistency of knowing you'll have access to good wifi, outlets, bathrooms, and a desk which provide a moat. Otherwise it's a gamble whether the coffee-shop you stop at will have those.

Local co-working office spaces are options of course, but with WeWork's brand you already know what to expect rather than gambling on something new.


I really think there should be an app like this, but it also needs to have full context awareness for the rest of your life as well (to-dos, calendar, preferences etc.) in order to accurately make those bookings or orders and to be truly useful. It's possible, just a challenging problem to accomplish at a reasonable price to be a consumer app.

Currently in the early stages of building something like that (https://www.flexibly.ai)
