Junie is so amazing. It burns through credits like hellfire, but I have only seen claude-code and opencode coming anywhere close to it.

Did you use the normal Jetbrains AI assistant, or was it junie?

They can dilute the term to whatever they want. I think when the pressure to release becomes too high, they can just stick a patch of "Superintelligence™" on their latest LLM and release it.

Should not the church be on top of this list?

crappybird | 8 years ago | on: Drone Maker D.J.I. May Be Sending Data to China, U.S. Officials Say

All android phone are definitely sending data to United States. Why is sending data to one country better than sending data to another?

For US citizens, this might be irrelevant (not so much if we go by the leaks). But for everyone living anywhere else on the globe, owning a smartphone means usually owning an endpoint for one of the giant corporate data sinks which its government can easily access.

I understand that it is the price I have to pay for a free (sic) OS and play services. But I use it because of a lack of viable libre and open alternative.

And I have about as much choice as someone in the market for a decent quadcopter unwilling to send data to China.
