Are there any local models that provide only very limited knowledge, e.g. autocomplete and chat for single programming language? Or is my thinking, that such limited model would be smaller and work faster even on CPU, is incorrect?

I just downloaded Cursor yesterday. I was wondering if you have used Copilot Edits and can compare it to Cursor Composer? Is Cursor much more superior when it comes to multi-file edits? Do you also have tips for how to give Cursor some documentation, is there a way to make it RAG on a folder of markdown documentation files?
The actual killer feature for me is the much superior autocompletion, Cursor always suggests an edit inline once I stopped typing, without having me to type a prompt to ask it to do stuff. And it feels faster than GH Copilot, too. For us who prefer coding ourselves (instead of telling LLMs to do stuff and review the result) it is much much better.

#94I'd prefer something where I can bring my own model and pay the API costs directly, rather than yet another $20+/m/dev fee The free plan is not going to work for professional coding
FYI, you can do that with Cody + Ollama. A good portion of our user community does exactly that: https://sourcegraph.com/blog/local-code-completion-with-olla...
What I would like is a deep integration with VS Code using my preferred foundational model
I see Cursor has their own model and support for 2 foundational models, but not my preferred model and they charge a monthly fee.
Supposedly: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/g...
but do I still have to pay microsoft $20+ per month? what I really want is pay-per-usage, not pay-for-access+usage

This is the main sticking point for me, I'm not leaving JetBrains anytime soon. GitHub Copilot + Aider handle my needs beautifully and while I wish Aider had deep IDE integration I can work around that (Yes, I know about the "AI!" command thing, it's a cool idea but sucks in practice). Aider in browser mode has pretty much replaced my back and forth to ChatGPT/Claude's web UI to the point that I'm considering going A…

1. I believe AI is detrimental. It makes us go too fast. It's all about production now, pure efficiency over individuals. 2. AI is too dangerous. Whatever innovations used for benign applications will be eventually used for more dangerous applications such as advanced genetic engineering and the military. 3. AI uses too much energy. It's disrespectful to the resources that we have. 4. AI is an apex technology amongst…
There are a couple of sentences in "Dune" about this: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." Granted, most of us are not choosing this.

#97Has anyone compared the updated Copilot with Cursor? The main updates I am wondering about are model selection and multi-file edits. I used copilot before these features, changed to Cursor and now I am wondering how much Copilot has closed the gap.

All of the above. It is even worse than crypto. The AI proponents that support this have no serious solution to the mass displacement of jobs thanks to AI. They actually don't mention any alternative solutions and instead scream about nonsense such as UBI which has never worked at a large sustainable scale. > Society needs to slow down and find alternative, more sustainable solutions. AI is aligned with short-term ec…
