Cursor - A Better Visual Studio Code/Copilot? 

They have that as a "in the works/hopefully" feature category

​@@gamefromscratchyou can easily do it. Run something that provides openai compatible api.. and then change the hosts file to map api.openai Cursor has option to use openai api.

@@utkarshshukla there is VS extension called "Continue" that allows connecting to any LLM provider, including LM Studio or Ollama local installation that I believe are the easiest one to run (Ollama on Linux requires like 3 short commands and it can be run on Windows through WSL). If this a fork of VS Code then this extension should work there too.

@@rob679 continue does not support in code edit using ctrl+k ... It's in code edit is not as refined as native cursors edit..

@@utkarshshukla with Llama 3 out, which is the best model for coding, assuming LM Studio is used?

Nothing really... they just need to do it better and I suppose that is the core of what competition is.

I'd also argue Microsoft's history with regards to adding requested UX features is a big part of it too. When my work switched to Teams, I looked into how to have all conversations in a small side window, something I have used going all the way back to AOL Instant Messenger in the early 2000s, but all I could find was a request for the feature from a few years ago; alas, still not added to Teams.

I just don't understand how the developers working with these AI features keeps missing the mark. As long as they do, I don't think it will become mainstream. I don't want AI to write my code and then have to write unit tests to ensure it didn't f up. What I want is to write code and have AI suggest corrections and improvements, so I don't have to write unit tests.

​@@mr.mister311seems kinda backwards and, if you don't wanna write tests, it's kinda megalomaniac to assume your code will ever be perfect. If it's something even remotely complicated, it's kinda not possible. Unit tests are dumb, agreed, so just write integration tests.

Once upon a time, drills replaced a lot of the work pickaxes did in the mining industry. I feel like right now, code AI is not a drill, it is a machine that swings a pickaxe. It's often developed to solve a problem that wasn't there in the first place, and it does nothing to solve the biggest problems we have. We write unit tests to discover errors in the code we write. When errors are the problem, why not focus on creating an AI that can discover those in the first place then instead of letting it generate code that we can't trust aren't full of them?

It’s literally way better than Cody.

In free tier you have 50 gpt-4 uses and 2000 Copilot++ completions every month.

@@FightClass3 Oh come on... Everyone just want's cool software for their favorite OS. I wish Zed was available for Linux so I could try it.

Did you ever find this out? That's the issue with AI when using it to try and code complex systems.. it forgets everything and starts over.

Yes me too

Maybe not. But in my opinion, this is one place it really shines.

@@jaimimcentire99 Agree to disagree.

@@ShinSpiegel Sure. I personally like copilot because it increases my coding speed - by a rather large margin. As well (in many cases) it seems to know what I want to do before I type it, and it codes it for me, in my coding style - especially things that might be tedious. It's not a replacement for thinking - it seems to be right about 80%-90% of the time - and will even catch details that I might forget. It's not a "do my job, and remove the need for me" kind of thing. It's really like having a good pair programmer who doesn't mind doing the boring work.

@@jaimimcentire99 cool man. Good for you.

Love it or hate it, AI code assistance is the future. Adapt or die, as the saying goes.
