Horrors beyond comprehension.

I wonder if there’s a devbox-as-a-service tool out there. I use a MacBook Air for most of my work and on occasion would be benefited by using a beefier machine in the cloud. I just don’t want to set up a machine, set up sync etc.

It’s definitely a bit pricier than some other TTS providers. In practice, I’ve found that in-browser TTS simply doesn’t cut it for me, quality wise. I tried running modern TTS models in browser using WASM but even the smaller models take wa

This has not really been my experience in my information bubble. But I admit I haven't kept up too well with the latest models and their failure modes. Can you have provide any examples of the scenario you described?

I'm not sure if you're referring to us or any other projects but in case you're referring to us, I'm sorry to hear that you came away with that impression. Not sure what more we could have said to make it absolutely clea

Hey Mike, just filed a github issue for this: https://github.com/pretzelai/pretzelai/issues/111 If you wouldn't mind, can you please comment on this issue so we can ask a few follow-up questions to help

Hey, we've actually mentioned jupyter-ai in the original post above. In my experience, the UX we've created is much better than jupyter-ai and AFAICT jupyter-ai doesn't have an inline code completion replacement like GitHub C

Thank you for the links! We'll take a look. At the moment, the system prompt is hardcoded in code. I don't think it should bias analyses because our goal is usually returning code that does something specific (for eg "calcula

That's a fair concern and one I've been through myself. I think what we've tried to do is a little bit the opposite honestly - hundreds of thousands of people already use Jupyter for data work and we started with the idea to

Ah sorry about this. This Show HN was targeted towards folks who have a passing familiarity with Jupyter Notebooks but I should have explained a bit more. Jupyter is a web application that lets a user execute python code in either a local o

Hey Mathias! Was fun chatting about Livebook the other day and yes, I'm definitely looking at it for inspiration! Alas it's an Elixir only notebook and so far as I know, there's very few data folks using Elixir so might be a

It's true - VSC family of editors (VSCode, Codeium and Cursor) all let you use AI autocomplete, question answering etc with your notebook code through various extensions. However, lots of Data Scientists and Analysts prefer using Jupyt

Thanks Marc! We'll check them out. So far, with our limited experience with local models, we'd simply been thinking to use Ollama so thanks for the heads up!

You're right, that's not how it would work! If you look at our license - all the Jupyter code stays BSD3. If we modify any BSD3 code, the modified code stays BSD3. All the new code we write - in separate files - is AGPLv3 howeve

Interesting! We have a inline autocomplete as well (that's the one that uses Codestral). So in your example, you'd see a autocompletion prompt after you type pd.read and hitting tab will autocomplete the line (or many lines if the

Oh cool! I'll definitely try to make it in one of the meetings :)

by prasoonds 2y ago
So, we were tipped off to Codestral being really good because of continue.dev - for reference, that's a VSCode extension that gives you similar features to Cursor. After we trialled it out head-to-head against GPT-4o for fill-in-the-mi

Yeah PyCharm and VSCode are definitely great options (though PyCharm is paid and VSCode AI extensions aren't notebook tailored). If you ever get a chance, I'd love to get your feedback on Pretzel - I think Codestral is a better an

by prasoonds 2y ago
That's a cool blogpost! I'm mostly using Cursor now (just waiting until someone makes a kick-ass Emacs package so I can switch back!) so I can definitely see your perspective. I'd be curious to hear a bit more about the kind

Agree with Daksh in the sibling comment. I think it's like you said - different people have different workflows and some might prefer using VSCode. IME though, most data scientists (and all data analysts) I worked with preferred using

That's fair, I was mostly responding to "but it's similar to what you're concerned about" because I didn't think the concerns are the same (but I can see your perspective on it too! While we are "giving aw

This is true. All new added code is licensed under AGPLv3. But I fail to see how it's the same thing as modifying and open-source tool and re-selling it as a closed source tool. This is what AGPL gives us - anyone can use Pretzel howev

by prasoonds 2y ago
Thanks for the kind words. Keeping Pretzel open-source was important to us - partly for trust reasons. When most people use Jupyter, they do so with sensitive data. Making a closed source tool simply wouldn't work. I wouldn't ha

It's as others say - in VSCode there support for Copilot but most Data Scientists and specially analysts who don't spend most of their day in a text editor still use Jupyter Lab (or Notebook - I mean the software, not the file for

Yeah, this is definitely a good way to access AI code completion (inline or otherwise) in Jupyter notebooks. In fact, I know some data folks who've been using Jupyter from day 1 switching to VSCode simply because their company buys a c

So we discuss this briefly on our FAQ but let me try to expand on it. Our goal is to make a modern literate programming tool. On a surface level, a tool like that would end up looking very similar to Jupyter, though with better features. We
