Nice! I am definitely using this.
Unfortunately sourcehut has its own cultural issues.
It’s quite easy to set up cgit, laminar and gitolite to self host.
GitHub Copilot is now available for free

#132I feel like this free plan is just enough to get someone hooked and require them to upgrade to paid. Like, imagine GPS navigation wasn't widespread and there was a paid service that gave you 20 free trips. Eventually your normal navigation skills would atrophy and you'd be obliged to purchase.
Of course it is, why would they give away something without trying to capitalize on it later

#133I ditched Copilot for Cursor and never looked back. Cursor might be the only other AI product with product market fit than ChatGPT, it's that good
Automatic multiline in-line-edits blew my mind. But the AI's eagerness of wanting to edit something frustrated me enough to no longer use it.
This has been a sticking point for me since my workplace told us all to start using the new copilot licenses they bought. The ideal workflow for me is usually inline question-and-answer but it tends to insist on editing the code, often in ways that do more than I actually wanted.

#134Anyone using the Neovim plugin and suddenly starting to get rate limit errors? I'm already on pro, but it's asking me to upgrade to pro in Neovim?
This happened to me as well. Came back from several weeks off and I kept getting these rate limit windows in vim today. I was/om on the OSS pro plan so I just figured the gravy train ended and unsintalled it

Has anyone who uses an IDE (e.g., JetBrains, not a code editor) moved to Cursor? I've downloaded it a few times because everyone raves about it, but I've always come back almost immediately because editors can't reliably make changes across projects (among many other things)... What am I missing? FWIW I use GoLand w/ Supermaven, currently.
I've been using https://www.codegpt.ee with the Jetbrains IDEs (mainly PyCharm) and I'm pretty happy with it. You can also bring your own API key.

Unfortunately for me in enterprise it was impossible to convince them to allow us to use cursor since they're not well known like GitHub/Microsoft so they're afraid of what they'd do with our data. We are allowed Copilot and Chatgpt because of an enterprise contract with each. Luckily copilot has been improving but there definitely was a while where it felt way behind the jumps other products have had in the past yea…
... and they aren't concerned with what microsoft is doing with it?
Can Cursor sign a DPA in addition to an enterprise contract where they actually have to put into concise writing what they are and aren't doing with our data? Microsoft will. Amazon will. But in my experience a lot of smaller players can't or won't. That's a legal blocker.

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.
But Copilot does exactly the same? You don't need to prompt anything.
Yes, sounds like Copilot but without the benefit of using my favourite editor.

#138Any mobile devs here using Copilot, Cursor or Supermaven? I am curious if you have any recommendations.
On Mobile, my experience was really poor. It really does not perform for e.g. Flutter. Probably not too much training data on Flutter Code.

Microsoft already has access to all of your code on Github.

A software developer's time is much more precious than wasting time on sub-optimal models. Open Weights models has it's place (in training custom agents and custom services), but if you are knowledge worker, using a model even 5% less than SOTA is extremely dumb
100% disagree with this take, the flexibility in controlling the prompt leads to QwenCoder2.5-32b outperforming gpt-o1 and claude sonnet 3.5 for nearly everything that I use it for (true for Gemma-27b and llama3.3-70b, though in this context I'm almost always using the former). A specialist model that's specifically prompted to do the correct thing will outperform a SOTA generic model with a one size fits all system…
Sounds great.
Does this run with VSCode and how hard is it to set this up?
