rerecord lets you work with docs screenshots as editable text

OK I checked and it is available in the Plugin version of Air, but not in its own IDE. Which is okay.

Any ETA on the mobile app?

I mean the OpenAI API integration but on a different hostname, like another URL that is OpenAI compatible, not with another ACP following agent framework.

Try this in Zed:

Open settings > AI > LLM Providers [Configure] >

there is OpenAI and OpenAI subscription - ignore those two.

On top-right, there is "Add Provider" with two options:

1. Compatible APIs (OpenAI)

2. Compatible APIs (Anthropic)

When I choose "Compatible APIs (OpenAI)", I can input a custom API URL.

That's unfortunate. I hope you guys are able to crack a deal.

Also, is it possible to use JetBrains Air with OpenAI-compatible APIs/proxies?

I think this is the future of code editors.

Two things that fell short for me:

1. No support for my Claude subscription

2. The git interface lags behind other JetBrains IDEs

Are no-reply emails associated with the accounts if the username is changed? That's one reason why I switched back to my personal email.

Has there been research on using this to make models smaller? If models converge on similar representations, we should be able to build more efficient architectures around those core features.

This only works when different sources share similar feature distributions and semantic relationships.

The M or B game breaks down when you play with someone who knows obscure people you've never heard of. Either you can't recognize their references, or your sense of "semantic distance" differs from theirs. The solution is to match knowledge levels: experts play with experts, generalists with generalists.

The same applies to decoding ancient texts, if ancient civilizations focused on completely different concepts than we do today, our modern semantic models won't help us understand their writing.

domain name maybe

I see a lot of people mentioning how easy it is to add a timestamp using a shortcut or git blame, but that overhead could kills note-taking. Both writing and lookup/review should be extremely fast.

I've dedicated Sublime Text specifically for my development notes. I use a single folder in my home directory for all these notes. Every new tab gets a timestamped name and this directory assigned (Yes, my sublime's default behaviour is now this), so if I save it, it goes there.

I also have a shortcut to save all files at once, which is great because I end up with a lot open by the end of the day.

It helps keeping track of info I might need later, like backups, text transformations, optimizing DB queries, curl calls, less important passwords, refining emails with LLMs, drafting prompts, etc.

I love how fast my workflow is now: just switch to sublime, open a new tab, type away, and hit `CMD + Y` to save all at the end of the day or week.

For lookup: Mostly, I remember a few keywords and search across files. They're timestamped, so they're sorted in the sidebar (e.g., `2025-03-20_11-02-15-77dee966.txt`).

Shoutout to Odatnurd, who helped me code the plugin and live-streamed it (link in the forum): https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/how-to-auto-save-unsaved-tab....

Things I wish I had:

1. Structure (A scrollable view, with expandable notes, date range picker, better search)

3. Encrypted backups

I find that there are different kinds of ways in which I think of notes (or note types):

1. Dev notes (scratchpad)

2. Thoughts and logs (don't lose it, when did that happen)

3. Long notes we study/review (lecture notes, obsidian)

I feel Notetime is great for [2]. It's a great idea for building a similar sublime plugin.
