Maybe this is the "Westminster Bubble" the journo's keep talking about. Whatever it is, MP's seem very reluctant to interact with their constituents unless they're campaigning for re-election. At that point they'll turn up on your door step in the middle of the day, expecting a half hour conversation.
How is a citizen meant to adovcate and voice their opinions when their representivies, and every candidate looking to replace them, refuses to engage?
This isn't really a specific question, or a critism on your point. It's just venting on my experience in recent years. Maybe someone else has had a more positive experience they'd be interested in sharing?
I switched to Firefox again back in 2017, I have 0 issues with it. If anything it's faster and less resources hungry than chrome in my usage. The extension ecosystem is now arguably better with MV3 being rolled out to chrome.
Probably the only annoying thing was learning where the buttons are in the devtools. They're all still there, just laid out differently. It took about a week to get to grips with that.
What exactly makes you say it's an awful browser?
Unrelated to the project itself, the animating background on the blog made reading the article really difficult. I ended up deleting it in the HTML just to be able to focus on the content.
Edit: This comment was made when the post pointed to an audio form of the main article. I'll leave it here none the less as feedback to the audio sites maker.
Before this I did a small project and I hit the 50 free tier limit through Zed by the time I was about 90% done. It was a small file drop app where internal users could create upload links, share them with people who could use them to upload a file. The internal user could then download that file. So it was very basic, but it churned out a reasonable UI and all the S3 compatible integration, etc.
I had to intervene a bit and obviously was reviewing everything and tweaking where needed. But I was surprised at how far I got on the 50 free prompts.
It's hard to know what you really get for that prompt limit though as I probably had a much higher number of actual prompts than they were registering. It's obviously using some token calculation under the hood and it's not clear what that is. All in all I probably had about 60-70 actual prompts I ran through it.
My gut says 500/mo would feel limited if I was going full "vibe" and having the LLM do basically everything for me every day. That said, this is the first LLM product I'm considering personally paying for. The integration with Zed is what wins for me over Claude, where you'd have to pay for API credits or use Claude Code. The way they highlight code changes and stuff really is nice.
Bit of a brain dump, sorry about that!
Is this because data is going through a tidewave server or something, or is it just a way to create a bit of a free trial vs "now you need to pay us"?
