I just got an email stating that "Chat and Work are coming together in one experience". Then, half way through it's the real headline: "A shared allowance for ChatGPT and Codex". Figured it was coming at some point...

Sorry, you're right; I was referring tpnthe Greens of England and Wales, under Polanski.

The Greens, under Polanski, have never been less "niche".

Kinda reminds me of SimFarm, from back in the early 90's! Anyone else have fond memories of SimFarm?

Not worthless for the anti-cannabis lobby, I suppose.

Without accounting for route of administration, this paper seems pretty worthless... almost deliberately so?

I found it to be an excellent, easy-to-read summary.

I still mainly use Windows and Android, so if cross-platform is the only real reason to switch, I think I'll stick. I have it syncing over SFTP, works great.

Any good reason to use keepassxc rather than regular KeePass?

Even then... is "baby carrier" an American term? Are we talking about slings or car seats or something else?

Ah. I don't rate how JetBrains have gone about it. It feels like things have moved around a lot, and it seems too complicated, with too many AI "thingies" sprinkled around without much explanation. And the inline, auto-suggested change can vary from "useful, please do that", to "will you stop flashing up all this shit everywhere I look!".

For a while I used Junie for small refactorings, and it generally does a good job, quite quickly. A couple of times I tried asking it for more complex things, and it didn't do well. I do find the UI to be a bit tricky, so it's quite possible I did something wrong or didn't add something to the context I was supposed to. Hopefully they sort out the "AI Chat" panel soon.

But now I use Codex/ChatGPT... and what it can do is frankly incredible. And it might just be me, but I do like having my AI chat UI completely separate from my IDE.

I like a completely separate tool for managing databases.
