I've used this set up for 3 or 4 years now and love it. I used to hit bottlenecks having to edit some nix files once or twice a month and forgetting the language but LLMs dramatically reduce that barrier.

> internet available from every place on the globe

I keep hearing this refrain that Starlink is going to connect everyone. LTE already covers 93% of the population globally [1]. There are obviously dead spots but I really don't see the economic case for Starlink coverage. I frequently travel with a mini and I appreciate the near certainty of connection but it seems like a luxury item. The vast majority of the time cell connection is fine. I suppose Starlink could eat all the telcos but it seems like they aren't too far behind and this connectivity will be commoditized.

Where are these open models that are as good as GPT and Claude and run locally?

To be fair, there are plenty of local models you can run. Seems surprising that in 5-10 years those models wouldn't match state of the art today.

I wouldn't call checking a bank balance and initiating transfers "serious tasks". Maybe important but they aren't complex.

Exactly. 96% of internet users use mobile phones. 62% use PCs.

Swift has builds for Linux: https://www.swift.org/install/linux/

The license is pretty much Apache 2.0

Why doesn't Facebook sue if this is the case? Get TikTok taken down and leave Instagram as the only alternative.

I looked for an explanation of what the tool does on my behalf on your site but didn't see anything.

I guess I expected on the homepage or maybe "About" but I was looking for something related to whether you open PRs on my behalf given that OAuth prompt.

I think adding that or some explanation during onboarding about the permissions might help.

The quote should be updated from "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" to "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain alive".

I've used contacts for about 20 years and I prefer them to glasses doing anything active and generally traveling. I would be very worried about navigating the world without being able to read things 3 feet away with my prescription of -4 so I always travel with a pair of glasses.
