With the 300k context window, the first thing I want to do is refactor my entire codebase, not just code completion here and there.

#92But WHO is Supermaven? Who do I "entrust" with all of my code?

#93Trying it now on my super-specific codebase, and it seems to be working for the most part. Well done! I was able to get started on a new feature, and it got about 80% there with my custom-built framework: https://github.com/smolblog/smolblog/pull/61/commits/869a2ea...

Perhaps it's overly technical or even pedantic, but in light of arguments like "AI is just doing the same thing humans do", I think we should admit it: Yes, we are making a copy in our minds when we read something. I suspect such copies are allowed (as an exception to copyright law) mostly because lawyers and judges don't think about it. Nonetheless, once we do think about it, the law isn't required to treat humans a…
You are not making a copy - because you are not able to identically reproduce it. And, if you are and you do, that's likely an infringement. Most jurisdictions say that, for example, you can't perform an in-copyright creative work without compensating the owner. Look at the lawsuit around George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" for an example.
Most people could memorize enough to count as a copyright violation if they did reproduce it; as you said, actors preparing for a role certainly do so. And people with excellent memories could remember much more.
And yes, there would be a violation if someone then made another copy by reproducing it from memory. But the copy in the mind is overlooked, or forgiven. That's a copy too, just as the copy stored somewhere in the weights of an LLM is a copy.
We may not understand exactly how it's stored in either case, but it's in there somewhere. And it's worth saying again: the copy in an LLM may not be overlooked by the law.

#95Any plans for a Neovim plugin? Quite interested but don't feel like switching to VSCode any time soon.
Yea, we need an LSP-like spec or something here. I'm on Helix, and like you i just can't switch away for these things.
I wonder if the LSP spec itself should add some LLM extensions. Since i know some projects have already just made LLM-LSP impls, it's not far off from a normal LSP. Though i do imagine a few custom LLM-centric behaviors would be useful

How about just not having one? i am often interested to try things but I am not giving out my CC until I've tried it out, FOMO be damned. I don't want the burden of cancellation if I decide it's not for me, I've been burned before by forgetting and paying for a service I didn't want.
We think this is the most sustainable option because there is a cost to providing a quality service. We take a small loss on every user who cancels their free trial - more than a typical SaaS because AI models are expensive to serve.
I'm VERY interested in using your service and would be happy to pay if it's good.
I'm never going to try if you ask for my CC up front though. Sorry.

#97Maybe its just me, but the name suggested an AI based tool to generate maven pom.xml files.
The pain I've experienced with maven and those Gawd awful xmls got me a bit too excited.
going to crawl back to my burrow now.

Wow, that’s the same experience that I havr trying to use any app on the iOS App Store. Download, use one basic feature, use a second feature? Nope sign up first. Ok, signed up. Ok now? Nope, that feature requires a subscription. It is very sneaky because the app does not need to show in-app purchase on the App Store info. I have given up on Apps now because of this.
App developer here. Sadly, it’s what works. Put differently: when users browse for apps, it’s usually when their need for sth that solves the problem is relatively high. Which means you have a much higher chance of converting that user right now during onboarding than anytime later in the lifecycle of your app. I wish Apple properly displayed prices though instead of this sneaky vague “contains in-app purchases” text…
Put differently: when we ask them to give us payment details at the start, we know a significant percentage will forget to cancel (or FOMO) after their need is gone.

#99Any chance to have an edit-prompt like cursor instead of autocomplete?

Your privacy policy[0] doesn't seem to mention any of this. How is the data being used? I'm not very certain about inputting my data into any tool that uploads to cloud and there's no valid privacy policy [0] https://supermaven.com/privacy-policy
We should update the site to be clearer about this. There is a 7-day data retention limit listed in https://supermaven.com/pricing .
This is the main thing keeping me from trying it. If you could clarify how you protect and use our code, it would be a huge help.
