Moto G Stylus 5g 2023. I'm satisfied with the hardware but Android has its own issues and it only gets 1 major version update, to Android 14, which it's running now. Main new feature of the 2024 version is wireless charging.
I get the impression that recreating the Whisper training code is possibly doable, but the data is a bigger task.
This is a possible Whisper alternative with maybe similar issues: https://petewarden.com/2024/10/21/introducing-moonshine-the-new-state-of-the-art-for-speech-to-text/
Yes it's nice that the phone app is free but STT is the difficult and important part. With Moonshine it might be possible to run the transcriber completely on the phone instead of having the STT on a remote server.
It's interesting that they are able to do all that speaker distinguishing with just a single mic as found on both phones. There was a thread about phone features recently. Given this STT stuff, it could be useful to have a phone with 3 or 4 mics in the corners of the phone, like one of those tabletop conference mics, so it can figure out directionality of sound sources.
It didn't say that on the linked page. Is the AI model and training code and data also free?
Added: it looks like it uses Whisper for transcription. So the inference code is there but it's unclear about the other stuff.

Anyway, thanks for the update.
If your management can't understand "I'm not an extravert", they are the ones who lack empathy.
I've been around medical people a fair amount over the years. Nurses vary but yeah they do tend to be outgoing or at least solicitous. Doctors on the other hand are often total nerds, almost like the stereotype of programmers. Of course, being a programmer, that's the type of doctor that I like. If you want to stay in the health field, maybe consider medical school for when you can swing it.
There is such a thing as empathy training: https://kffhealthnews.org/news/efforts-to-instill-empathy-among-doctors-is-paying-dividends/

There is a specific article I remember from one of the KFF sites and those links came up while I searched for it. Unfortunately I didn't find the one I was thinking of, but maybe it will turn up later. What I liked about it was that it was aimed at nerdy doctors (it was from an internal newsletter for KFF workers, though on their public site), so it was expressed in precise terms. I learned useful things from it myself.
You can find plenty more with fairly obvious web searches.

I dunno, getting rid of the My Pillow guy might be worth it anyway.
Every company tries to get people to use personal phones. It takes some gumption to refuse.

Writing a book when you don't know the subject matter doesn't sound likely to result in a good book. Even more so for a language like Rust, which (short of Haskell) is the closest thing to a mainstream language that is informed by a lot of pointy headed PL (programming language) theory. A book about programming in Rust doesn't have to go into the theory per se, but the author should be familiar with it, just like someone who writes an introductory calculus or statistics text really needs a much deeper mathematical background than the book itself will convey.
If you want a Rust-related hobby, first of all, why not do Advent of Code in Rust, or otherwise make a study of Rust? And then if you're interested in PL theory, that's another area to study. Harper's book PFPL is a good place to start: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/pfpl/

There is already a fediverse twitalike called mastodon. I don't understand why anyone here cares about bluesky.
