Thanks for saying this. Whenever Grammarly puts a red line under a slightly superflouos part of the sentence I get more and more agitated at this small nudging to robotic writing.

Grammarly thinks all writing should be bland, and that everyone needs to be a robot. Terrible product.

But it does favour _clarity_, rather than tropes.

Did they just kill Cursor?

Have you actually tried? I have not, but just look at how it still regenerates the entire code instead of producing a diff. Who iterates on software like that?

I haven't tried it, but have been considering it. I already pay for OpenAI, not sure I want to pay for another AI service.

Counterpoint: don't try to own people like farm animals. Have pride in humanity, faith in your fellow man, and resist toxic cynicism.

Don't try to own uranium, either. Or if you do, don't store it all in one place.

The Sprott Physical Uranium Trust owns 65,711,826 pounds of triuranium octoxide (U3O8) stored at uranium hexafluoride (UF6) conversion facilities in Canada, France, and the United States.

  Cameco Corporation, ConverDyn, and Orano Chimie-Enrichissement
  individually act as custodians on behalf of the Trust for the
  physical uranium owned by the Trust.

More red lines means more subscribers, right?

The issue I continue to have with many AI coding tools is they want me to use their own editor ("native", aka VSCode fork, or in the browser like this). I have zero intention of moving away from IDEA and nothing I've seen so far is good enough to make me want to switch. I really with there was more of "bringing AI into your existing tools/workflows" instead of "here is a new tool with AI baked in".

I have started using Claude Dev (an extension for VSCode - https://github.com/saoudrizwan/claude-dev), and so far my impression has been very positive. It’s a full blown code agent that looks for relevant files in the code base, can ask you to run commands and modify files etc. You use your own Anthropic API key or self hosted model.

Kind of wish there weren't a dozen different tools named Canvas

Using Canvas (OpenAI) to design graphics on the HTML5 Canvas for my project in Canvas (the Learning Management System). I’m planning to print my work via CanvasPop and advertise it using Facebook Canvas ads.

There's more to writing than clarity, though. Not all written communication needs to abide of the efficient/clear writing style of technical documentation FFS

Sounds a little like aider.chat

I’ve found Claude and ChatGPT to be the best coding tools for me. I often throw the results from one into the other and ping pong them to get a different opinion.

Ditto with Gemini and o1-preview. Ask one of them to write some code, then paste it into the other and ask it if it can find any bugs. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's proven helpful a couple of times so far.
