This is great. I love the idea of measuring performance differences in “years of Moore’s law.”
Twenty years puts the delta in an easy to understand framework.
The tires start moving immediately, so it looks more like a limit in how quickly they change direction. It appears laggy because they don’t finish the movement when he does. They do respond right away when he shifts his arms a little in the middle of the video.
I am constantly shocked by how many people put up with such a painful workflow. OP is clearly an experienced engineer, not a novice using GPT to code above their knowledge. I assume OP usually cares about ergonomics and efficiency in their coding workflow and tools. But so many folks put up with cutting and pasting code back and forth between GPT and their local files.
This frustrating workflow was what initially led me to create aider. It lets you share your local git repo with GPT, so that new code and edits are applied directly into your files. Aider also shares related code context with GPT, so that it can write code that is integrated with your project. This lets GPT make more sophisticated contributions, not just isolated code that is easy to copy & paste.
The result is a seamless “pair programming” workflow, where you and GPT are editing the files together as you chat.
I think you've done a fantastic job of covering chat and confirmation use cases with the current features. Comments on here may not reflect the high satisfaction levels of most of your software users :)
Aider helps put into practice the use cases that antirez refers to in their article. Especially as someone get's better at "asking LLMs the right questions" as antirez refers to it.
You can turn it on and off. Not necessary to turn it on when editing confidential documents.
You never enable screen-sharing in videoconferencing software?
Besides, the parent program uses the API, which allows opting out of training or retaining that data.
Thanks for explaining the reasoning behind implementing your own version instead of using Al Dente. The straightforward UI is really appealing.
I paid for an Al Dente license long ago and have been very happy with it, sail mode and temperature sensitive charging are great features (although I’m not sure how big of an impact sail mode makes).
It’s great to see alternatives available though. Having command line access is really cool.
