Raycast now has GPT4 built-in (has to be enabled in settings)
https://www.raycast.com/changelog/1-49-0
I rarely used ChatGPT before, but Raycast makes it so quick and easy to ask questions that I’ve been using it a lot more.
I’ve also started trying out Copilot in Visual Studio Code since so many devs are raving about it. I still get code suggested that always has at least one big error (Flutter dev, probably not enough code out there yet for it to work as well as with other languages), but it does make you quite a bit faster as long as you know what you’re doing, so it is still quite useful.
The Warp terminal now also has AI built in, which is cool, but I’m starting to think it might be a better idea for GPT to offer a subscription that you can use in all apps instead of having one subscription per app. I’m already using 4 apps with (some free but soon to be) paid AI features available, it’s just going to get worse. Just like streaming services. You want to watch the newest movies and TV series? Well, just pay for a subscription to… Prime, Netflix, [insert ten other services here] for the small price of [all your money].
Finally got access to the Raycast AI beta. I’ve only used ChatGPT (free version) and the new Bing before which are both a bit slow to answer. Raycast is instant and is just a Command+Space away, feels so much nicer for quick questions!
And you can also create AI commands that you can use on selected text in any app, like shorten this text or improve the writing style.
Playing around with the flashlight in Resident Evil Village VR like an idiot. Can’t stop. Looks so good. #PSVR2
Got my #PSVR2 today. It’s really good, can recommend. Best looking game so far I’ve tried is Kayak VR. Does make me sick instantly, I’m not good with boats, but man it looks great. Horizon does not look as good but there is a lot more going on so that’s to be expected and it is quite fun. Still trying to figure out how you’re supposed to aim with the bow, I’m sure there must be some trick I’m not getting. Right now I’m just hitting the targets by trial and error.
Sony finally sent out my PSVR2 pre-order. Don’t understand UPS Express’ weird package tracking system, but looks like it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. Can’t wait! (Never tried VR before)
As Google is now moving from censorship after the fact to censorship before „misinformation“ or „disinformation“ ever reaches their users, something which Google calls „inoculation“, let me remind you that there is a great alternative out there from Brave.
What is really cool is that it can easily translate American recipes into the metric system so I can understand them :) And it can describe a computer as Terry Pratchett would:
"Ah, my dear friend, let me tell you a tale of the magical devices we call computers. They are powerful wizards, capable of performing incredible feats of magic with the mere flick of a switch.
You see, within the computer lies a cunning imp known as the central processing unit, or CPU for short. This imp is the brains of the operation, directing all the other components like a master conductor.
The CPU is constantly busy, receiving instructions from a spellbook known as memory. These instructions are written in a language known as code, and they tell the CPU what tasks to perform.
As the CPU works its magic, it relies on a trusty companion known as the memory or RAM, which acts as its spellbook. The memory stores all the information the CPU needs to perform its tasks, such as the code for the programs you are running and the data you are working with.“
It would work better with something more stable, so pure language use without frameworks or frameworks that are older and therefore don’t have many breaking changes in new versions. It can certainly be helpful though, it is super interesting technology. But in the end you still have to do the actual work yourself. Maybe Github’s Copilot works even better, haven’t tried that yet :)
As long as it is optional I like it for the people who can’t live without it, to each their own. Downvoting on Reddit and mass flagging campaigns on social networks have shown (imho) that flagging sadly does not work because what ends up getting flagged is different opinions first, actually bad content last.
Haiku Beta 4 just came out, so you could get back in that BeOS vibe :)They’ve ported GTK now in addition to Qt so lots of Linux apps run on there now. I’ve been playing around with it on the Steam Deck, just for nostalgia. I used it as my main OS for a while years ago, developed some small apps for it. But I never liked C++ programming, so I moved on eventually. Still go back to it every now and then though, it just makes me smile, there is something about it.
Gonna be US only again. Someone has to post screenshots here when it goes live so I can watch 🍿
I have it set to auto on Mac and always dark on phone because of OLED :)
Still dark for me. Maybe your OS isn’t set to dark mode right now?
Now I remember Google Wave. IT STILL HURTS :D
Enjoy it while it lasts. At some point, people will start complaining that „strangers“ invaded their timeline and then global is dead. This short phase of a new social network is always the best :)
