I wanted to write an app like this. Here's what I think would be useful for some people to compare: more checkboxes that represent typical daily activities like "how much energy does driving to the grocery store (x miles away) use" or "how much energy does idling in my car for 30 mins use", "how much energy does riding the bus/trolly/etc use", "how much energy does keeping my place warm vs kind of chilly", and also "how much energy does a cargo ship use to cross the pacific" or "how much energy does it take to source, manufacture, package, transport, and stock a pack of bubblegum". I think that would help people realize the largest components of their footprint and also how it relates globally.

It's also slow for bulk operations like "mv somefolder/ ..." - it processes each file one at a time rather than a batch operation (I tried it out recently and this was one thing that stuck out).

I'm not sure if this first premise is right. Optimizing later on makes sense to me and isn't that expensive IMO (this can vary though)

I was using Python's Pelican static site generator for some time until I wanted to further customize the template fragments of a theme. Started running into issues and even helped fix a bug with the build command. Eventually I couldn't be bothered and wrote my own static site, except with Nextjs instead of plain HTML. Didn't take long and I don't have to mess around with awkward jinja templates anymore.

I wanted to apply OCR to my company's invoicing since they basically did purchasing for a bunch of other large companies, but the variability in the conversion was not tolerable. Even rounding something differently could catch an accountant's eye, let alone detecting a "8" as a "0" or worse.

When I first started using Cursor the default behavior was for Claude to make a suggestion in the chat, and if the user agreed with it, they could click apply or cut and paste the part of it they wanted to use in their larger project. Now it seems the default behavior is for Claude to start writing files to the current working directory without regard for app structure or context (e.g., config files that are defined elsewhere claude likes to create another copy of). Why change the default to this? I could be wrong but I would guess most devs would want to review changes to their repo first.

One of my best contributions was a 1 line fix in one of Microsoft's repos. It took me a day or two to understand the code and what it was doing but it was well worth it.

Whatever the motive, it's probably a smart move

But did they consider a giant spider web?

I think Claude trades quality for speed. From what I've seen it starts generating almost immediately even with a large token window. For smaller changes it is usually good enough, but larger changes are where I bump into issues as well. I'll stick to using change [somefunction] rather than change entire file.

This does not bode well for my hopes of LibreOffice getting my favorite features from Excel.

Thanks! Create a channel and/or post sometime!

Yeah I just launched it and didn't want it to be a blank page when people looked. Try adding a post!

Just visit bleuit.io/c/somechannel or bleuit.io/c/cats/gifs and if it doesn't exist it will show a form to create it. There should be a welcome modal explaining it
