Duuuude! Give me this. Please. We have these mosquito bats/racquets that I've to use every day in a futile attempt to keep my family safe. I need something like what you're building. I looked up even laser mosquito killers.

Yes, this is a concern. When I built something similar (gencmd.com), I avoided the auto-run option even though it was easy to implement. imho, it's better to have a human in the loop for these.

I would like to throw in a tool that I built into the ring: gencmd - https://gencmd.com/. There is a web version and also a CLI version.

If the CLI is installed, you can do: gencmd -c ffmpeg extract first 1 minute of video

Or you can just search for the same in the browser page.

https://gencmd.com

Generate cmd line options on the cmd line. The web interface is a quick trial ground, but the real productivity boost is with the cli with integration in-place at the prompt.

As of now, it's very basic and working directly of the PaLM Text Bison model, but I'm adding more features and fine tuning. Also, trying to make it usable by enterprises.

E.g.

   $ gencmd find txt files that contain the text hello
   find . -type f -name "*.txt" | xargs grep -i hello
   find . -type f -name "*.txt" -exec grep -i "hello" {} \;
   find . -type f -name "*.txt" -exec grep -i hello {} \;

   $ gencmd -c grep find txt files that contain the text hello
   grep -r hello *.txt
   grep -r "hello" \*.txt

If you want to know more about how I went about building it, I've written about it here: https://medium.com/@sathishvj/gencmd-generate-commands-with-...

The chat button for Teams on my macbook pro does not show up. On another older macbook pro, it works. I've seen this random issue showing up on forums, and there's never any working solution. It's just so weird, and I can't participate in any chat conversations. :shrug:

Wouldn't "open ." work just the same?

I'm making YouTube content to help people learn Google Cloud and also prepare for the GCP certifications: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIGDDqu5DzlaaC4XzXj_4-A

There is an unlisted sample video in there that I've put out for feedback, and I'm making changes based on that. Will also be putting together related content around GCP.

p.s. do subscribe to the channel.

I think this rating does not take into consideration local culture. For example, I don't think India has a culture that makes you introspect whether one is 'happy'. How about asking whether one is unhappy? My suspicion is that India will score low (as in, not unhappy) on that also.

One of the most interesting parts for me was the time taken - 601 hours for about 50k loc. That could be a starting point estimate for other projects.

What happens if somebody has taken a remote master's course from a US university? Is there a note on that?

p.s. it does not apply to me anyways, but just want to know.
