I’m temporarily β€˜carless’. Sold yesterday and not getting new one until tomorrow. Odd feeling. (AI pic is not me!)

I got Codex CLI to help me modify the Transformers.js Llama 3.2 chat demo to enable loading that 1.2GB model from a local folder instead of fetching it from a URL

This is how using Comet feels at the moment. I don't really trust it to update things as it often gets them wrong. So if you are watching it so closely is it really saving time ...

A calm sunrise scene at Lake Wenatchee, Washington in 2023. The glassy surface of the lake creates a perfect mirror reflection of the mountain ridge, pink and gold clouds, and surrounding tree line. The foreground reveals the rocky lake bottom beneath the clear water, while the horizon glows with soft pastel hues of dawn. The stillness of the water makes the sky and mountain appear seamlessly doubled, producing a striking symmetrical composition.

The logic started that I wasn’t using the professional features enough to justify the cost. Then I thought I’d try other IDEs.

Becareful cutting and pasting in another window when Comet is posting stuff for you in another window, shared clipboard and all that. Lesson learned!

Yes, I've played about with Zed a bit.

After years and years of paying for PyCharm Professional for personal projects I've decided to let the sub lapse. I've been using Cursor and VSCode more recently and can't justify the cost any more. It is like giving up old slippers though!

It is amazing how much faster it seems chatting with models locally with LM Studo than the normal suspects online.

Another killer use case for @PerplexityComet is posting the same thing in multiple places.

I am starting to think the argument about which coding assistant is better is the wrong one.

Use them to check each others work!

A useful use case I've found for Perplexity Comet is getting the address from estate agent listing and popping open a google map (or at least linking it). You can also get it to work out how close to transport links properties are.

There are some really interesting use cases for it I think.

I really like the new @OpenAICodexCli extension for @cursor_ai but the user permission prompts really don't stand-out enough. Everytime I think it is a bit slow it's because it's waiting for me to confirm.

I'm not sure the hype around the Nano Banana is deserved. I asked it to edit a raw image. The original image was a watch and what came back was the RAF roundels. Well the image extension was .RAF ... sometimes AI just makes me laugh.

Come on OpenAI headless auth for Codex is such an obvious use case. I know, I know I can copy the files from another machine.
