Good there’s other free alternatives out there. I’m in the office 97/2003 was peak ui group camp, the rest is just a more flashy UI that doesn’t really add more value.

Sounds about right, I had a positive experience when I told my local LLM to refactor a function and add a single argument.
I would not dare letting it loose on a whole source file, because it changes random things giving you more code to review.
In my view current LLM’s do a acceptable job with:
- Adding comments
- Writing docstrings
- Writing git commit messages
- Simple tasks on small pieces of code

You are right I thought GSM was 1G, instead it’s 2G-2.5G

- Comment on Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE? 4 months ago:
Back in the early 00’s everybody called and the cell network was stressed, I normally waited 15-30 minutes before calling my parents.
Nowadays the 5g network can handle that many calls and a big chunk of the people use something else than phone calls.
