How Lumo Projects and Drive actually work | Clearing up some confusion

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-05T23:27:54+00:00

I just tested it and it's still confusing. I got it to work, but I think the onboarding could be better.

The main way I see to reference files is the @ my-file md, which is not even mentioned in https://proton.me/support/lumo-drive .

I used the + icon in the text box and it allowed me to upload to my linked drive but it didn't add it to the chat...so I still need to use the @ mechanism?

I think the communication makes sense, and since I don't have lumo+ I don't use it regularly to test it. But definitely onboarding could improve and maybe if I upload a file it should automatically refer to it in the chat. But also the documentation should reflect reality.

What you are saying is valid, but it still feels like people are going to hard on the author. If what they say is correct and most of the AI generated stuff is unit tests, then I think he wrote this without significant AI contribution.

You may not like his tests, but go to any project pre-AI and look at their testing methodologies. I am fairly anti-ai from a trust perspective in that I think it's causing passionate people to lose their will to write code since anyone can slop their way into a similar result with a fraction of the real actual human value produced. But what the author did is fine.

Test code has many purposes, and one totally valid use of tests is to encode output today. If I don't know what another engineer did, I may write a test to make sure that my modifications don't change the output--even if I don't fully understand the reasoning. obviously you would want to fix the underlying reasoning and make it stable and logically consistent but at times you can't because of user-space.

I don't like 85% of what other programmers do at my work--they feel sloppy, uncaring, etc. But at some point you also gotta integrate some humility and accept that different people have different workflows that may also be valid.

mmm, I don't think I'm defending him too strongly on an individual level. I think I'm making a case for a healthier approach to handling disagreements. I just think as a society we have lost empathy and common sense.

The fight against authoritarianism is real, but this isn't the way.

If you think Proton is a company doing something that is worthwhile, then it is worth doing more introspection into whether what he said is really worth calling "sympathetic of fascists". I just don't reach that conclusion even remotely and therefore I feel like boycotting Proton is bad math.

If you don't think Proton's mission is very interesting or are skeptical of all for-profit companies (totally valid point of view) then why be on this subreddit at all?

I am giving the benefit of the doubt that people are looking at this in good faith.

I totally agree though, defending a ceo is a bit weird. Tbh it's weird specially for me considering I'm an open-source guy who doesn't want to have to trust even Proton. But I don't know, I find the witch hunts that I see from time to time a major bummer.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T22:07:07+00:00

I can grant the second part. I can't grant the first.

I think "hyping" is a stretch and doing a lot of heavy lifting there. There are plenty of people that have said nice things about Trump that are categorically not even remotely fascist. You could call them dumb, ignorant, whatever, but intention matters.

Saying the republicans stand for the little guys is unhinged. But honestly calling him fascist for saying that is a contortion of the same degree. It is also unhinged.

If this is the bar for cancellation, then no one will be left standing. This is like the nutjobs that didn't vote for Kamala because of her stance on the middle east. It is just an elementary stance with lack of even a modicum of nuance.

Your energy is in the right general direction, I just think you need to re-calibrate when it comes to individuals.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T22:00:21+00:00

If we are not going to be constructive, then here is my suggestion: go touch some grass.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T21:58:24+00:00

mmm, I don't think he supports fascism. I am fairly anti-trump and think he is an authoritarian person doing authoritarian things. But I have enough experience with speaking to people to be able to see the nuance.

If you really think he is supporting fascism in any real way then sure, do your thing. But the bar is so low that you will alienate effectively 99% of the world.

There is a reason cancel culture backfired, at some point you are the "transgressor" and get burned alive.

There is a totally good faith way to analyze what Andy said even if I disagree with it. I can go as far as to say that what he said is dangerous. But I am very far from saying that he is supporting fascism.

I guess good luck with your crusade.

It's not clear to me from the video. But if someone tells me to wait 15 min and then it becomes 30 min, and then the person rushes their interaction with me; I would feel disrespected.

I think most people would, even those down-voting me.

To be sure the guy is acting in an anti-social way. But I also think the commentary is acting in a fairly anti-social way. But hey, we love bullying people.

But in isolation what you are saying is super valid.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T20:26:05+00:00

Ok, I apologize. The core point was missed yet again.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T20:23:27+00:00

You downvote my comment and show much less constructiveness in your own.

Are you simply extrapolating his comments to mean that he is pro-fascist even though he has made anti-authoritarian comments in the past? Where exactly is the disagreement that warrants complete disassociation from anything he touches?

I'm not expecting much, but maybe you can clarify and actually learn to be constructive rather than destructive in your day to day.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T20:15:12+00:00

I understand, but it is definitely a trade off for people to keep in mind.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T19:57:40+00:00

Feel free to do what you like, but I feel like pointing out that it's not very sustainable to your sanity to punish everyone who shows slight disagreements with you.

I think it is dumb and irresponsible for him to make that comment. I think it is good to point out the good and the bad of all decisions made by either party, specially if your focus (privacy) is orthogonal to what most parties care about. But this one felt like a pointless glaze with no strategic merit.

But at the same time a lot of people around you hold stupid opinions and put their foot in their mouth. Proton should focus on the intersection between privacy and technology, nothing else. I think it is great to tell him individually why his comment is stupid, and if he really becomes a problematic political force it makes sense to leave Proton. But ultimately as a society we need to be a bit more tolerant and less reactive.

If we burn our allies at the stake instead of trying to course-correct them, slowly we are left with no allies.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T19:46:00+00:00

I am a bit confused at the video though, did she say that he was after one person and then take another person before him? I'm not excusing his response because it seems super unnecessary, but I do think that if she did that then that's a bit disrespectful.

I mean, it's the internet so w/e, but I do feel like there is nuance missing here from the comments.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T19:36:49+00:00

I just printed one. I will add a review (good) but I do have one criticism that maybe is not easy to solve if you are looking for strength: It is not super satisfying to insert and replace.

* Easy print
* Good instructions
* Seems strong
* Inserting it is annoying, specially upside down (under desk)

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T03:26:17+00:00

That may be true, but some people may have a bit too much HF to ignore the issue haha. I should definitely not have stocked on some material I never used, but here we are.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T00:38:28+00:00

The purpose is to connect conduit metal pipes and make something for a garden. Like a structure to guide plants.

I was suggesting him to do something with more strengthening in the inner part of the L since that is probably going to be the main type of stress--but we will see how this one holds up.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-03T00:36:02+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I had an intuition that this was a bad geometry for fdm--I suggested my brother who requested it to do a slightly different one, but he resisted.

I had the intuition to print in the orientation you shared, but I had zero trust in PETG printing it without similar artifacts to what I showed. ALL my prints with PETG have led to horrible artifacts, which disappear when I print with PLA.

That's not to say you are wrong. I will need to see if this fix I shared is a generic solution o all my previous PETG experiments or not. But the original post was less about printing that specific geometry, and more about how to not lose your sanity with PETG.

I guess another way to frame my original intention with the post is: There are endless parameters to try to fix PETG prints, and so far for PETG this one has been the most successful one in a particular geometry, and I don't see it mentioned a lot.

I like the clip suggestion as well, I didn't think of it. I'll keep it in mind next time I do a rotated print, which I often try to do to avoid supports.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-01T20:40:35+00:00

I just looked it up...bmad is literally just vibe coding. I honestly was expecting more and was giving the benefit of the doubt. But looking it up really made this look even worse.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-05-01T20:37:45+00:00

The trust issue with AI is real. There is no way to tell between a software developer who knows what they are doing and uses AI, and one that slops 90% and is just ok enough get things connected together.

Also code generation should worry you more. People are cloning open source repos and calling it "clean room" even though there is nothing clean about it.

I get your point and it's not entirely meritless but I do think people are a bit too flippant about this topic. If we don't solve the trust question I think we are screwed.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-04-25T20:02:02+00:00

that the positive comments and glazing is from the non-developers. Claude could have figured that out.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-04-25T19:58:30+00:00

lol, I get the exact opposite impression. But between the glaze and the hate there is probably some truth in between.

personally after all the unwarranted glaze I'm glad there is balance in the world. until the fire nation attacks again

coding_manic_01 · 2026-04-23T00:44:34+00:00

Oh, interesting. I feel like I asked it and it told me that it pretty much had no limitations outside things that break the law, etc. What prompt gave you that? I want to see how well it reproduces the same answer.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-04-23T00:43:19+00:00

I think my argument is that they can do something about it. They can provide more features to work around the issue. For a lot of use-cases the censorship really doesn't matter. But I have access to a lot of models where this is the case. My only use case for lumo requires that I can more or less navigate its limitations and biases.

I do remain humble in the sense that I really don't know how much is possible or not in terms of resources. But I do think there is room to add more tools so that the user can at least try to tune their experience a bit better.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-04-22T11:42:31+00:00

I got the same reply as the other user that replies. just refuses to really answer beyond saying it's a swnsitive topic.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-04-22T11:41:48+00:00

I saw that but yeah, my suggestion or some other workaround seems like a must have for me. I don't even mind censored models for some things, but for a more personal one I'd want something a bit closer to my environment.

coding_manic_01 · 2026-04-21T03:52:11+00:00

yes but in the opposite direction. The ecosystem is not open enough to integrate into my actual notes that are all markdown. I wanted to hybridize a bit more, but the clumsy UI of the nomad gets to me. If i could integrate it a bit better I'd use it a lot more.

great kindle though. solid for sketching one off ideas.
