Exactly this - and how chatGPT behaves too. After a few conversations with search enabled you figure this out, but they really ought to make the distinction clearer.


Still no way to sync the "favorites" album between the default Android Photos app and Google Photos, yet they're busy building this slop.

Not to mention the dark patterns that attempt to trick you into backing up your entire photo library, over and over again.

Or the inability to exclude folders from the backup process.

Maybe get the basic expectations of a Photo app right before adding features nobody asked for.


For low cost, there's also Cloudflare Vectorize ($0.05 per 100 million stored vectors), which nobody seems to know exists: https://www.cloudflare.com/developer-platform/products/vecto...


I follow a bunch of YC founders on X. Lots of behavior that could be construed as 'growth hacking - or 'deceptive' depending on your bent: promoting open source libraries that don't work, rewriting tweets from smaller accounts, coordinated replies from mutuals and so on.

I guess that's the game, but they do seem a lot more cavalier about it of late. Increasingly resembles the crypto 'community' (derogatory).


> Almost every place I've been people absolutely detest black people.

Not an experience I can relate with, and I'm pretty well traveled. A cynic might say that you're projecting a personal view here.


What economic classes of people are you interacting with when you travel? A lot of people don't leave a certain bubble, even when abroad.


Crazy that devs choose supabase and vercel when Google Cloud is right there.

Google were late to the game but they've built perhaps one of the easiest cloud platforms to work with.


Do you use firebase?


Too bad they removed the ability to use Chat (rebranded as Ask) with your own API keys in version 0.47. Now every feature requires a subscription.

Natural for Cursor to nudge users towards their paid plans, but why provide the ability to use your own API keys in the first place if you're going to make them useless later?


Oh no didn't realise that. I had a high opinion of this team but it starts changing now...


Reluctant VScode user here. Sublime's speed make it the best editor to work with by far, but its package manager is in a sorry state. A good 70%+ of packages are outdated or don't work.

Fix this and I'd be back in a flash.


The clue is the name of the tools: "co-pilot".

Assistants that work best in the hands of someone who already knows what they're doing, removing tedium and providing an additional layer of quality assurance.

Pilot's still needed to get the plane in the air.

But even if the output from these tools is perfect, coding isn't only (or even mainly) about writing code, it's about building complex systems and finding workable solutions through problems that sometimes look like cul de sacs.

Once your codebase reaches a few thousand lines, LLMs struggle seeing the big picture and begin introducing one new problem for every one that they solve.


It does have a tendacy to meander or spend too time reflecting on a topic instead of distilling the details. However the new ability to add a prompt improves this greatly.

Some instructions that worked for me:

- Specifics instead of high level

- Approach from non-critical perspective

- Dont be philosophical

- Use direct quotes often

- Focus on the details. Provide a lesson, not reflections

- Provide a 'sparknotes' style thorough understanding of the subject


Oh, when was this added? I'll have to check it out.
