Aider can generate sounds and notifications after it complete its output. Not that it makes me more disciplined. Still waiting for LLMs with ultra fast output.

Lets see if any of the text diffusion models ever hit prod. The Gemini Diffusion demo is impressive!

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Raycast is a desktop AI agent? I see that your extension supports specific Anki note types. I really heavily on custom note types. Is there an interface to add support for custom note types? Does it run on Linux?

Sadly no, only Mac for now but I think they’re expanding to Windows and Linux on future. > custom note types Not really sadly :/ I want to add many improvements…
Thank you, Mac launchers are always interesting. That seems to be a big field.
As soon as I find a good desktop AI agent for Linux, I think I'll take a shot a writing an Anki MCP server.

#25I have multiple things going on at once. Doing like 3-5 things at a time.

#26You're looking at it chief.

#27It really depends, sometimes I am just doing other tasks that aren't directly coding related. But often I also start with a plan of what I will prompt the LLM with, as I have a rough idea of the work that I want to get done in a few hours. So I start with the much larger tasks, and then while the LLM is thinking, I am kind of planning through my approach with the next task(s). Sometimes I am also wireframing, or drawing things which need to be improved on-top of a screenshot for the next round of UI/UX improvements.

#28Have developers forgotten what long compile times could be like?

#29I have 4 computers setup with different monitors with different projects at different states and when I need to wait for one (llm or build deployment or strategy game) I flip to the next. Each with a separate keyboard. Mouses are on different levels.. two main keyboards one above for straight setup, laptop to the right and a fourth keyboard knee level that goes into the lap.
You only get so much time in a day do everything at once.
