If I stop responding to your comments it's usually because you aren't worth responding, not because I don't have a counterargument.
Time is precious.
I can't say anything about Windsurf (as I haven't tried yet) but I can confidently say Cursor is great.
Though I agree most workflows aren't remotely capable software-wise compared to Mac counterparts.
Information/access to data/works should be totally free and there should be other ways to support the creators.
For example I could easily download MP3s of music and MP4s of series/movies but I don't: simply because of two reasons:
- I want to support the artist (to an extent as possible) - Using Spotify/Apple Music/Netflix is much more convenient with a totally acceptable monthly fee.
I know the article is not about entertainment but a library, same rules should apply.
And if one wants to train an LLM, let them: at its essence it's just a person who has read all the books (and access to information should be free), just the person is a machine instead of a biological human being.
My impressions are the exact opposite: it perfectly summarizes everything to the point like 98% of the time at least.
Other than that I respect all of them.
The app and the site looks really cool. A very very small issue on website. In the FAQ section it says "Every files gets processed on your device only" I think "files" should be "file" there. Nothing really important, just my perfectionism :)
Keep up the good work!
All my other devices, including a MacBook and iPad connected to the same network work fine. My previous iPhone also worked just fine, it's just the new phone.
I know how annoying these can become, and glad to hear that you could pinpoint it down.
When I ran the app some parts seemed broken as expected everything was otherwise normal. He then asked me that whether I'm running in a VM or not and some features wouldn't work in a VM and I should have ran on my actual computer. It was an immediate red flag (why would a React app need that?). I checked running processes on the VM and saw a Python instance. When I examined the opened files it pointed to a suspicious file, and it was a fresh VM and nothing in the project setup needs Python for anything. Then I zipped the project, sent it to ChatGPT and asked about malware, and it found a totally obfuscated dev-targetting malware-downloading script disguised as error handler middleware. If I ran it on my machine, it could have stolen at least a thousand bucks from my local crypto wallets: I checked the payload code via HTTP interception and realized that the script sends any private keys for crypto wallets to its own server, and I'd never be sure of my system again anyway.
I've warned the hosting company (though it seemed like a very cheap and sketchy one anyway), and I found out that the person on LinkedIn has blocked me in the meantime.
These are very real threats, be careful.
The reason that I'd never use YT Music is that I never trust anything from Google: their interfaces are ugly, everything's user-unfriendly, and they have the habit of discontinuing a service at any time. Also it has the impression of not really being well-thought as a product: why name a music service after a video service? I know it's not the case but it always reminds me of those low quality music playlists where people collected low quality unofficial music videos back then in YT just for the music: simply not the right tool for the job.
Never, ever, no matter the circumstances, store private keys (or seed phrases) on photos. Especially if those photos are synchronized to the cloud.
Hand-write them, store them in a safe and secure PHYSICAL location.
Of course we're humans, we make mistakes, and we usually start with small amounts of money that we can lose where it would be unnecessary to take all these precautions, but we still need to regularly remind ourselves to avoid disasters like this in the self-custody world.
Keep up the good work!
The website is horrible on resources.
What I'd really love to have is Siri superpowered with contextual natural language capabilities and multi-commands in a natural sentence. It _is_ getting there: Siri is better than it used to be and has somewhat of a contextual knowledge so far (compared to zero, before the update) but it's not there yet. It sometimes fails miserably. It should get to LLM-level contextual "memory" to be acceptable IMO.
At least, Bitcoin can't be printed and not centralized like a government-controlled money.
Bitcoin is not perfect, also not fully decentralized either, but still much better than more-centralized fiat which are government-controlled and are still used for all the harmful purposes already.
I wish I could use it though.
Otherwise, lovely.
