You know about the copilot plugin for obsidian?

Yes I've started using it but it feels significantly underdevoloped compared to GH Copilot or Cursor. I've considered opening the vault in VSC actually.

Yeah, I know what you mean, the RAG retrieval is a bit hit and miss for me. It's better if you tag in the notes you want to refer to. But I doubt it has a team behind it like Cursor. Depending on how many notes you have, given it's markdown you could just upload them to a Project in Claude.

Have you seen https://www.codebuff.com ?

Nice! It seems very very similar. I open sourced the code to MyCoder here: https://github.com/drivecore/mycoder I'll compare them. Off hand I think both CodeBuff and Claude Coder are missing the web debugging tools I added to MyCoder.

What do you do to build context?

This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engineers lose their high price tags. I guess the next wave of knowledge workers will move in and take their place?

My guess is that, yes, the software development job market is being massively disrupted, but there are things you can do to come out on top: * Learn more of the entire stack, especially the backend, and devops. * Embrace the increased productivity on offer to ship more products, solo projects, etc * Be highly selective as far as possible in how you spend your productive time: being uber-effective can mean thinking an…

We have thousand of old systems to maintain. Not sure everything could be rewritten or maintained with only LLM. If an LLM builds a whole system on its own and is able to maintain and fix it then it’s not just us software developper who will suffer, it means nothing to sale or market, people will just ask an LLM to do something. No sure this is possible. ChatGPT gave me a list of commands for my ec2 instance and one of them when executed made me loose access to ssh. It didn’t warn me. So « blindly » following an LLM lead on a cascade of instructions on a massive scale and on a long period could also lead to massive bugs or corruption of datas. Who did not ask an LLM for some code, that contained mistakes and we had to point the mistakes to it. I doubt system will stay robust with full autonomy without any human supervision. But it’s a great tool to iterate and throw away code after testing ideas

"port sed to java with all options and capabilities"

Still is very underwhelming. I like this because it isn't a difficult problem, it should be up the alley of a "language model" to translate computer languages, but it is a fairly complex problem with lots of options and parse annoyances. Addresses can be pretty complex with regex in line selections/subsetting. Scripts are supported. Probably turing complete considering the pattern space as storage and looping/jump constructs.

In an experience reminescent of "can I have L2 support please" most AIs give a kind of milquetoast slightly above average IQ responses to various questions. I wonder if there should be standard "please give me more complicated/erudite/involved explanations/documents/code from the get-go to not bother with the boring prompts.

Finally got access to the preview just now.

Let's fire it up.

"Type /init to set up your repository"

OK, /init

"OK, I created CLAUDE.md, session cost so far is $0.1764"

QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT

Seventeen cents just to initialize yourself, Claude. No.

I feel like I touched a live wire.

It's about 2 orders of magnitude (100x) too expensive.

Anthropic doubling down on code makes sense, that has been their strong suit compared to all other models Curious how their Devin competitor will pan out given Devin's challenges

It's their strong suit no doubt, but sometimes I wish the chat would not be so eager to code. It often throws code at me when I just want a conceptual or high level answer. So often that I routinely tell it not to.

Just explicitly tell it not to write code? I do that all the time when I do not want code and it's never an issue.

Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

A bit off topic but I wanted to let you know that anthropic is currently in violation of EU Directive 98/6/EC:

> The selling price and the unit price must be indicated in an unambiguous, easily identifiable and clearly legible manner for all products offered by traders to consumers (i.e. the final price should include value added tax and all other taxes).

I wanted to see what the annual plan would cost as it was just displaying €170+VAT, and when I clicked the upgrade button to find out (I checked everywhere on the page) then I was automatically subscribed without any confirmation and without ever seeing the final price before the transaction was completed.

The bottle caps are a joke, but how can anyone in their right mind be against transparent pricing?

You think it's acceptable that a company say the price is €170+vat and then after the transaction is complete they inform you that the actual price was €206.50?

No, not OK. In this case, the recourse in the US is simple- contact the company, and when refused a refund, cancel the charge in your credit card wit a couple of simple clicks in the app.
