I ran a comparison using this OPF with what I have in clarity.evergreen-labs.org (it's a Tauri app with local PII redaction.)

A few things jump out:

1) Dates are aggressively redacted, creating false positives. 2) Non-English names are not working yet.

Thank you. The learning aspect of reading how AI tackles something is rewarding.

It also reduces my hesitation to get started with something I don't know the answer well enough yet. Time 'wasted' on vibe-coding felt less painful than time 'wasted' on heads-down manual coding down a rabbit hole.

Great idea. Addresses a real need. Best of luck with your launch!

Thanks for a great write-up!

Production-quality software can now be made in weeks (instead of months and quarters.) I anticipate an exciting period of fast innovation in all industries, supported by lots of good product-engineers with different levels of experience. The areas I am the most excited about is healthcare (as we live longer) and sustainability. It will be fun to be a part of.

We learned computer languages so we can ask computers to do work for us. It was out of necessity because there are no other ways.

If we can instruct computers with natural language 50% of the time, that's 50% less translation work for our human brains. I have no problem with not needing to write instructions in computer languages (no regex, no sed/awk, no python even) for day-to-day stuff.

Critical thinking, reasoning are another story. We can't let those skills atropied.

I wonder how best we can measure the usefulness of models going forward.

Thumbs up or down? (could be useful for trends) Usage growth from the same user over time? (as an approximation) Tone of user responses? (Don't do this... this is the wrong path... etc.)
