The prompt on that unhinged AI starter pack is a clever way to bypass the 'helpful assistant' paralysis

I use improvmx.com for my microSaaS. With a free account you can forward 6000 mails per month from a *@yourdomain.com to a self-hosted server (or gmail in my case). Paying you can customize the routing and increase the quota.

Pretty cool, it'd be interesting to try other things like running a C++ daemon and letting it run, or adding something to cron.

I've tried Cursor a couple of times but my complain is always the same: why forking VS Code when all this functionality could just be an extension, same as Copilot does?

Some VSCode extensions don't work, you need to redo all your configuration, add all your workspaces... and the gain vs Copilot is not that high

I'm Spanish and I've seen many friends dismiss Tesla because of this notion of their cars being cheaply made and because most people here live in flats, and the shared garages don't have sockets for charging them. Many people are leaning towards hybrid vehicles with autonomous features like Hyundai. The suscription model for a car also plays a big role.

That's really great news. I always wondered why text rendering in Chrome looked so much worse than Firefox.

I wonder if there’s a market for a microwave with an IR camera and AI to estimate food weight and thermal conductivity.

With accurate heat tracking, it’d only need a button to open the door and no knobs.

At some point it will be much more economic to dig our junkyards to recover metals we casually tosssed than mining.

On Windows XP, there was this assistant that suggested removing shortcuts from the desktop when they weren't used for a while. Maybe the last usage or last modified data could enrich this.

I like the idea, it has great potential. Although the pricing model is a big barrier, I can hardly think people would pay for this before testing it first.
