I just realized my article was shared on HN (wasn't aware of the visite spike until 7 days later).

Will work on the writing, I truly agree that my writing isn't the best. Thanks for pointing it out.

I don’t think the comparison is fair. Some of the products presented here are named copilot themselves, or at least for some, copilot + the domain of the base product. It’s not just a functionality like saving.

Which can get even messier in people’s head, since they will usually reference any product they use as to copilote, when they may be talking about different ones sometimes.

For instance, my friends who uses teams or the 365 suit refer to copilot as the integrated AI tool within these softwares. When, as a SWE, where I hear about copilot, it usually refers to the coding assistant/AI code completion/agent tools for me.

Just deployed a little gimmicky website to evaluate anything on a left-wing/right-wing gauge: https://leftorrightwing.com/
Too scared to ask, but isn't it still the cloud ? The OP is just not using managed services anymore, which is obviously less expensive.

I always thought that all kind of servers in datacenters could be defined as cloud server.

Ask HN: Best resources to learn about Search and Information retrieval

Hello,At work I operate a search platform, which led me to learn about search engines in general and how they works.The deeper I dive in the rabbit hole of information retrieval technologies, the wider it seems to me.I want to proactively learn about it, which I plan to do with the following books:- Relevant Search- AI-Powered SearchShould these be enough to acquire a deep understanding of the...

Can't this be qualified more simply as the Parkinson's law in action ?

They do yes. But it seems pretty rare. The most recurrent case I've seen, is for remixes of popular song. Probably that labels can signal these.
Re:Building a Blog in Django on Wednesday September 13, 2023 @03:41AM (#37493442)
In my blog, comments are not supported, and it would be easy to add if I developed my own blog with Django. But I feel that this single feature does not overweight the simplicity and velocity I have with such setup.

If you really need comments in your blog when using Hugo, you can still integrate them with Disqus https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/

In regards to the requirement to know Git: It is just necessary in the setup phase, the blog posts creation and edition are controlled through Netlify CMS for me.

This doesn't provide a counterpoint to the original comment's point.

IMHO, it's true that a static site generator should be the way to go in 2023, instead of using a web framework with a db.

I am personally running a hugo blog, on netlify, with netlify CMS. I have 0 costs, great performances, everything needed out of the box. What else to ask for ?

Great work! This will actually be something very helpful to a lot of people!

I am curious how you gathered so much user input in the short time this project has been alive ? Where did you prospect for more users to input ? and especially, how do you validate that the inputs are valid and not fake inputs and/or spams ?

I will look into it when I will be granted access to the GPT4. But yeah, I plan to the make accessible the switch between GPT 3.5 and GPT 4 right into telegram.
Recently did the same in a lightweight alternative with python: https://github.com/clemsau/telegram-gpt

Looking to make it accessible, cheap and as lean as possible. I'd love to hear potential features ideas.
