Other files types supported include Word, Excel, CSV, Markdown, XML, Text and ZIP files. We can also index entire codebases and GitHub repositories as agent context.

That's a great question. Indexing time directly depends on the number of pages in the PDF, for a 5000 page PDF it roughly takes around 30 minutes to index.

Tangential: Here in India we have security guards with hand-held metal detectors in malls, railway stations, and urban transit rails (metro) stations.

The first time I visited a different country I was surprised to see my friend accompany me to the check-in counter and even further to drop me off. In India they wouldn't let you enter the airport if your flight doesn't depart soon enough.

This is very useful! I frequently copy the response of one model and ask another to review it and I have seen really good results with that approach.

Can you also include Cursor CLI for the brainstorming? This would allow someone to unlock brainstorming with just one CLI since it allows to use multiple models.

This is surprising. I generally notice that I have more eye fatigue when working in a dark room compared to when I keep the room bright.

And honestly it seems ironic that a lot of people on HN want Firefox to be used by everyone but don't want Mozilla to add features that the "normies" want.

Why would the military keep a "compliant native" under house arrest though? Wouldn't it be better for them to get her killed?

Calling Nehru "installed" by Mountbatten misses the crucial context of the time. Nehru was the undisputed leader of the Indian National Congress, which had been the primary force behind the independence movement for decades and had overwhelming popular support. Mountbatten's appointment was more of a constitutional formality in the transfer of power, not an act of kingmaking. It's like saying the Chief Justice "installs" a newly elected president.

The same goes for the Aung San Suu Kyi connection. Labeling her a "compliant native" seems to ignore the 15 years she spent under house arrest actively fighting against a military junta. That's a pretty high price to pay for being a supposed puppet.
