FWIW, ChatGPT advised against LTSC or Server editions for a dev workstation and recommended Enterprise, as you do. However, I can’t find Enterprise from a reputable EU vendor. Do you know of any? Is Enterprise available to end users?

At a $1,000/month price point, wouldn't the economics start favoring buying GPUs and running local LLMs? Even if they're weaker, local models can still cover enough use cases to justify the switch.

Would you mind sharing your current workflow?

For example, do you begin with a rough design and refine it into concrete steps with the AI, or take another approach? Do you switch models based on task complexity to manage costs?

The Copilot extension in VS Code includes Opus as well. It costs three times as much as Claude, so I'd expect it to perform better or be able to handle more complex tasks, but if you're happy with Claude - I am too - more power to you.

> I use Claude and ChatGPT

Both for code? For me, it's Claude only for code. ChatGPT is for general questions.

> One day when the well runs dry, you must be able to either pay the actual cost

What multiple of the current cost do you expect? Currently, GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT for Business cost $19/month and €29/month respectively. Even a 10×–20× increase will still be economically viable in a professional setting if the tools continue to save hours of work.

Do you mean Windows 1x Pro/Enterprise?

> DuckDuckGo has also been my goto for years, but it is also getting swamped with SEO-rigged spam sites.

True, but DDG seems, at the very least, no more afflicted than other engines. If I'm supposed to pay for a search engine, I expect something better than DDG.

I evaluated Kagi a couple of months ago, but its results were swamped with AI slop, too. These days, it's mostly DuckDuckGo for me.

Do you mean that users should start a new chat for every new task, to save tokens? Thanks.

An interesting take on how to construct the most durable buildings: not with the strongest or most flexible concrete but with concrete that self-heals. I'm posting this here because perhaps such a lesson could be applied to other domains

But do you really need to keep it on 24/7? What about a wake-on-LAN solution?

> This is likely because agreeing with the user keeps them chatting longer and have positive associations with the service.

Right. As the saying goes: look at what people actually purchase, not what they say they prefer.

Yes, "Custom instructions" work for me, too; the only behavior that I haven't been able to fix is the overuse of meaningless emojis. Your instructions are way more detailed than mine; thank you for sharing.

It makes sense for a startup to launch on the most popular browser at first.

A poor diet is typically one that includes *excessive* amounts of sugar or salt. I agreed with a comment that endorsed sugary foods as occasional treats and salt as a way to enhance flavor.

Sugar and salt are inexpensive ingredients that make highly processed foods more appealing, often leading to over-consumption. This not only displaces more nutritious options but also contributes to their negative reputation and, over time, they have come to be seen as unhealthy in any amount. Sugar, in particular, is sometimes portrayed almost as a poison.

>> From an OOP perspective, lambdas are just syntactic sugar for a special form of objects.

Indeed Smalltalk - a pure OOP language - had `Block` objects fifty years ago.

>> I'm convinced that imperative programming will endure alongside functional code, because being stateful is how the real world works, and most programs have to repeatedly interact with the real world over the course of their execution.

That, and also who wants to wrestle with monad transformers to make a stateful computation work when they have to fix a bug in production ASAP?

I'm with you: salt and sugar are the scapegoats of a bad diet.

There is another one such app: https://www.skinvision.com/

I've taken a look. Interesting, but you don't specify which payment methods you accept, and your website lacks a contact form for asking that or anything else.

Because we're used to speed-reading content and that website wouldn't allow us.

>> These days, you get a medium-level description and a Linux driver of questionable quality.

Then how do devices end up up having drivers for major OSes? It's all guesswork?

Thanks, but how do you know that those are enterprise SSDs? Of the three you've mentioned, only Solidigm P44 Pro's homepage explicitly classifies it as an enterprise SSD.

> I usually buy second hand enterprise SSDs off eBay.

How do you find them, please? Do you just query for "enterprise ssd"? I've just run this search and indeed it returns lots of models from different brands. Thank you.

Could you please provide an example `index.md`? Thanks.

>> I'm curious what emacs users are doing these days.

Still using it because of the massive amount of customizations accumulated in a time span close to yours. I'm often tempted to switch, but if I look back, what other editor would have served me for ~20 years, mostly unchanged? I remember writing lots of macros for Visual Studio 6 and then Microsoft revamped the object system of their IDE with .NET. My understanding is that Visual Studio plugins may not work from an IDE version to the next. Yes, customizing Emacs requires time, but so does relearning a new environment every few years.

I do use other editors, however, for things that would require too much time to configure in Emacs, or for which I prefer a GUI interface. For example, at the moment I'm working on a C++ project in Emacs, yet for debugging and a Git GUI I have VSCode open.

>> Is neovim better in this space?

Maybe, because of the bigger use base of NeoVim/Vim.

>> Should I be learning how to debug elisp better to understand how the commands interact with my environment?

Definitely.

>> I've been using emacs keybindings (in Dvorak at that)

Hi, mate! (^_^)

>> for so long I don't know if I'd enjoy the neovim editing experience.

What? No [Neo]Vim user has ever ported Emacs keybinding to Insert Mode? O_o

You could add it to this Awesome Erlang list: https://github.com/drobakowski/awesome-erlang?tab=readme-ov-...

What variant of Uni Jetstream pens? Because here are a few: SXN-150, SXN-210, etc. Thank you.

Do you mean that one can't use AI to learn a foreign language in its everyday form?
