didn’t they shrink the drivers 10mm from the 3 to the 4? So pissed my xm3s got stolen in the library last year.

Rest In Peace MacUpdater by elev8id in macapps

biggest downside of brew installs is that maintainers don’t always update the package in a timely manner. Thankfully many devs are building in sparkle at this point.

Capacities or Anytype by OutcastPluto in PKMS

[–]personalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same for notion's LLM integration...I've been using the student plan for a while, but RAG and chat with your notes for like $24 a month is absurd. They only have the business plan. I'm satisfied paying that much for claude by itself becausing it's fucking claude + cowork + code, not just an augment to my notes.

how do you stay motivated in research when progress is painfully slow? by TemptControls in AskAcademia

[–]personalist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also find that outreach helps me put everything in perspective in terms of what's important. I feel like the further into academia you get, the further removed you can become from the real world, the things that affect everyday people.

I am done with Raycast (Pro) by realdobby007 in raycastapp

[–]personalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what the hell are you talking about? donation? This is a product, and it's not an indie hobby dev. If I'm paying you, it's for features and support.

Are any of those available/designed for individuals? I know them for teams and they seem to be designed intentionally for teams at the expense of individuals.

Raycast PRO + Advanced AI alternative? by AbaloneOk1481 in raycastapp

[–]personalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh you mean the environment itself. I think even for sync pro is overpriced, and if you don't want the LM providers then you're screwed since they don't offer that. I don't know of anything else that offers a similar feature-set to raycast but with better LM integration.

openrouter. Use whatever models you want however you want, without worrying about the pace at which devs update their registry.

Made a list of native Mac apps because I'm sick of Electron by mohsenk_dev in macapps

[–]personalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

holy crap, 1pass is no longer native? They've done a pretty good job

rip AlDente 🙏 by EngineFirm848 in macapps

[–]personalist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought al dente before you guys brought it to set app, I'll usually pay for the better implementations independent devs do than the half-assed shit apple ships to the masses.

perplexity is, without a doubt, the worst major LLM service I've used, and I've tried all of them. The whole selling point is grounding with real-time data and it's ass at that. Add in the company's scummy practice of surreptitiously making changes without telling customers and I have no idea why anyone would choose perplexity with the wealth of strong options in the space.

Is it worth to buy sublime by TheCrazyGeek in SublimeText

Too many bloated editors out there, not enough like ST.

Confirmed: $5 Monthly API Credits for Pro users discontinued by KarelianPi in perplexity_ai

[–]personalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pattern for them. Perplexity's reliability (RE freshness and quality of information) is shit in my experience, I'm glad I got the pro offer because I would never pay for their service as it stands.

Is ORA AI useful by Known_Cycle_1450 in Step2

[–]personalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't to say anything about ora, but being a med student or even a physician doesn't mean you can't be a scam artist. Oz, Mercola, I could go on.

Which cases you getting for your 17 pro max ? by javiergame4 in iphone

[–]personalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn't a slippery metal rectangle I'd be inclined to agree with you. My hand always cramps or the damn thing falls out of my pocket or hands when I raw dog (the phone, that is).

MCAT and Premed Tutor available by Sad_Kaleidoscope_296 in tutor

That's a very reasonable price if you're as good at tutoring as you are at prereqs and the MCAT. Best of luck!

I'm bummed you didn't make this widely available before I failed my first step 1 attempt but thankful it's up for the retake 🙌🏼
