Reminds me of Zed's setting { "disable_ai": true } [1] Glad it's an option be it for regulatory compliance, security, privacy, or any combination of the three.

Glad it's an option be it for regulatory compliance, security, privacy, or any combination of the three.

- giancarlostoro 5mo agoZed is one of the best editors I've ever seen, I always worried the mention of AI would put off people who are missing out on a truly amazing editor.
- ModernMech 5mo agoThe thing that really puts people off about Zed is "VC-funded"

- nathanmills 5mo agoHacker News is not for you then.
- boringg 5mo agoThere is a healthy dose of VC skepticism here. HN is here for that.
- dmoy 5mo agoI think they meant that ycombinator is literally a VC shop So if being VC funded puts you off an editor, being VC funded may also put you off ycombinator.com
- ModernMech 5mo agoYes, indeed it does. I didn't feel this way until I worked for a YC-backed startup tho. I mean, YC is the first to admit that not everything needs to be VC funded and some things just aren't good fit for that funding model. I think a code editor is one of them.
- dlenski 5mo ago> Yes, indeed it does. I didn't feel this way until I worked for a YC-backed startup tho. Same, same. Nothing made me skeptical about the tech industry like working for a VC-backed startup. Ugh.
- giancarlostoro 5mo ago> I mean, YC is the first to admit that not everything needs to be VC funded and some things just aren't good fit for that funding model. I think a code editor is one of them. Fully agree. I also feel like a lot of companies do not need to be on the stock market, especially if they're reasonably profitable, feels like the stock market is where you go to let go of more of your company just to get rid of the VCs whom you owe a lot of money to.
- ModernMech 5mo agoI remember when I was learning about entrepreneurship in college I was baffled by their insistence of an “exit strategy”. The idea just seemed so foreign to me. See I naively thought the point of starting a business was to do the business, not to not do it and sit next to a pile of money instead. Silly me.
- esseph 5mo agoIt's rare to find so many grazing in their natural habit, so it's a great place for vc-watching.
- z3c0 5mo agoIt did, verifiably here. Based on their own marketing, I thought it an alternative to Codex, not Codium. Knowledge of this setting has shifted my perspective considerably. edit: not enough to ditch Sublime, however.
- giancarlostoro 5mo agoI have not tried it, but there is "GRAM" as well. Which is a fork of Zed without any AI stuff. Not sure what's missing for you from ST but for me, I don't really see myself ever upgrading to ST4 or any future version, unless they come out with something worthwhile for ST5. https://gram.liten.app/ https://gram.liten.app/
- Latty 5mo agoFirefox also has a setting like this, although I think it's even nicer in that it makes everything (current and future) AI default to opt-out, but still lets you opt in to specific use cases if you want.
- troad 5mo agoFirefox took an awfully long time to get that global setting. It was clear that Mozilla Corp hoped they might be able to push AI services as a revenue generator, before the AI pushback.
- SamuelAdams 5mo agoVSCode has this too: chat.disableAIFeatures Sources: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46501220 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46501220 https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_104#_hide-and-disable-github-copilot-ai-features https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_104#_hide-and-disab...
