Pretty sure you totally misinterpreted their intent, mate.

Just like paying for no ads on prime video? I'd rather donate to one or more independent plugin developers.

I'd be interested in what restrictions are between those two companies, because it seems to me like there'd be a lot of money in making Chrome what Google wants it to be.

I'm already out. Linux desktop, Firefox browser. It's enough for me. Fuck MS, fuck Google, fuck Apple.

I had no idea notepad + AI was a thing. It sounds farcical, so I assumed wrongly it was a reference to NotebookLLM. My mistake. I shouldn't have assumed OP was just being dismissive.

Isn't that a state's rights matter? A state should be able to name its own landmarks.


I checked. It seems ultimate authority rests with the US Board on Geographical Names, which is under the authority of the executive branch. He would be breaking lots of norms to just decree it so, but I think Trump has no fear is breaking norms.

I guess I'd rather he worry about stuff like this that could ultimately be corrected in the future with the stroke of the pen than the stuff he wants that will be genuinely ruinous.

Well as he was separated and not living with his wife and kids, I suspect he likely wasn't a great partner/father either.

Not that I don't get where you're coming from, but taken in isolation that quote is obscenely ironic.

I feel like, if nothing else, Luigi chose his target extraordinarily well. Other than being a father, which just about anyone with testicles can do, Thompson doesn't seem to have done one redeeming thing.

Well an example of something I think it could solve would be: "I'm trying to set this application up to run locally. I'm getting this error message. Here's my configuration files. What is not set up correctly, or if that's not clear, what steps can I take to provide more helpful information?"

ChatGPT is always okay at that as long as you have everything set up according to the most common scenarios, but it tells you a lot of things that don't apply or are wrong in the specific case. I would like to get answers that are informed by our specific setup instructions, security policies, design standards, etc. I don't want to have to repeat "this is a Java spring boot application running on GCP integrating with redis on docker.... blah blah blah".

I can't say whether it's worth it yet, but I'm hopeful. I might do the same with ChatGPT and custom GPTs, but since I use my personal account for that, it's on very shaky ground to upload company files to something like that, and I couldn't share with the team anyway. It's great to ask questions that don't require specific knowledge, but I think I'd be violating company policy to upload anything.

We are encouraged to use NotebookLLM, however.

I stand corrected. Thank you. I hadn't heard about that. Notepad has always been no frills, and I can't see integrating AI with that over just using AI, but they are and it seems silly, I agree.

Totally agree. It comes down to how often is this thing efficient for me if I pay the true cost. At work, yes it would save over $50/mo if it works well. At home it would be difficult to justify that cost, but I'd also use it less so the cost could be lower. I currently pay $50/mo between ChatGPT and NovelAI (and the latter doen't operate at a loss) so it's worth a bit to me just to nerd out over it. It certainly doesn't save me money except in the sense that it's time and money I don't spend on some other endeavor.

My old video card is painfully slow for local LLM, but I dream of spending for a big card that runs closer to cloud speeds even if the quality is lower, for easier tasks.

I don't think anyone is putting AI into Notepad. It reads to me like a response to NotebookLLM but maybe I was wrong.

I did at least explain what my vision is and why I wanted it which.... doesn't sound anything like Notepad, I think.
