I’m glad it got reposted because I just tried it out. What a smooth experience! I managed to get an old desktop - with no wifi and far from n ethernet port - connected by this gadget! Great job in getting this to work, creating a nice user interface and releasing it!

“ChatGPT launched in November, 2022. Opus in December last year.”

You seem to be implying that there was nothing before. Obviously not true.

“AI may be a tool and add 50 IQ points to a 100 IQ person today but what happens when its adding 10000 IQ points.”

What is even IQ? What if it adds 50 now, 25 next month, 12.5 the month after, etc. You should check out Zeno.

I’d rather someone say “we architected this poorly and are working to fix the design” than “things slip through sometimes, report them when you find them.” The former is honest AND shows they understand the problem. The latter treats a design flaw as an acceptable steady state.

Being honest about shipping bugs is good. Being honest that you’ve designed a system where the same category of bug will keep happening? That deserves criticism, not praise for honesty.

VS Code is a flagship product from Microsoft. Relying on “we try our best to push fixes as soon as possible” for a global opt-out setting feels below the engineering standards we’d expect. This should be fail-safe by design, not best-effort.

I have a suspicion that someone holds worldwide patents on multi timers with repetitions and notifications (audio and vibration).

Thats the only explanation I have to explain the dire state of the built in timers on iphones and the free apps available on the app store. And no, I’m not going to pay $$$ per month for the premium apps.

And don’t even get me started on the PITA it is to make a web app to do the same (useful for runners) - you would think it would be a simple thing todo? Have a go and let me know if it doesn't break your balls.

Viewing the page source, I love the way many inline css widths have values such as 83.33333333333334% or 66.66666666666666% !
