How does this compare to GitHub Copilot? I don't see that anywhere. Also it uses GPT4 by default. Seems like that could get expensive depending on how frequently it calls the API. And how much context (tokens) it sends for each prompt.

If privacy is a big concern you could try using an encrypted disk image/folder inside Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, or similar. Then put your data inside that. That is probably less overall headache than self-hosting just about anyt

Some banks are starting to offer OAuth access to accounts for use by Mint and other like tools. Bank of America and Chase are examples. That said I don’t if it’s possible to use as an individual or small developer. My guess is not really. B

My understand was geothermal installation is extremely costly due to the deep bores you need to dig. Or do you have enough land to go out instead of down? Can you or the GP share more about the economics of your installations?

I think of analog synthesis - using analog components to create audio waveforms which can be piped into an amplifier and speaker to create sound - as being different from analog computation like it’s described in the article. Maybe the best

I’ve used Fastmail for email since 2015 or so, with a custom domain, and have never had any issues with email delivery to Gmail, Office365, or any other email host. Data point of one. It’s something I occasionally worry about actually but i

Tube amps are used in both creating music (guitar amps, bass amps, etc) and listening to music (hifi preamps, power amps, etc). Tube amps used in creating music usually have a distinctive sound. Fender Twin Reverb and Ampeg SVT are but two

I wonder why they’re doing this so early. Seems like they’d be much better off not having ads for a while. Steal as much search traffic as they can from Google. Then add ads later. Maybe the compute cost is just so high they need to. Or the

What are the benefits of taking cold showers and ice baths? I don’t see anything on your site. Maybe your target audience is people who already are bought in?

Agreed. This was my first take too. Once properly configured VS Code is an excellent IDE for many languages. And for me the paid PyCharm is slightly better. And that’s before Copilot integration. Seems like a steep uphill climb. Maybe they

The redesign looks good, less cluttered. But did they really improve performance? Teams is a pig right now. Only time will tell but we can hope.

That’s a very interesting point I had not thought about. Let’s say AI tooling results in an across-the-board 2x multiplier for FOSS. Like there is twice as much FOSS. Plus the FOSS that exists today has twice the features plus overall quali

Thanks for making your app. I’ve used it more than once and it works well. Many export solutions don’t handle attachments but yours does. So kudos for that. A few years ago I tried to write my own exporter using AppleScript but got stuck by

Flash isn’t a good analogy to the current situation with AI tools. But it’s worthwhile to understand regardless. I think that AI tooling will cause demand for developers to actually go up instead of down. At least in the medium term say the
