First, AI is garbage at best, a shield to look busy, move money, and claim benevolence at worst.

Secondly, who is funding the AI?

If I were a company that makes more money the less people cycle or work from home, I'd rename one of my departments the AI consultant department. Then I could pay myself as much as I wanted, be able to spew buzzwords at investors/governments/naysayers, generate nothing of value (as intended), then say to all the governments and cyclists: "Sorry, we spent $X and it looks like putting more gas guzzling cars on the road is still the best solution".

Better to ask a rubber duck than an LLM.

It has better results, is cheaper, and makes has a positive compounding effect on your own abilities.

This particular release didn't seem to add much to the core app in terms of features, but it's nice to see they're putting work into making the rest of the ecosystem better.

The thing I'm really hoping they fix is the Find / Select feature gap to help power users:

I made a bug for it: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/212562

Besides that, and maybe better modal support (for improved vi mode, or alternate modes like kakoune/helix), I'm not really seeing any notable feature gaps anymore, which is great!

Except that there may be better ways to treat mental health issues in the future.

If future generations can revive someone, they've probably also cured aging. So for adapting they'll have all the time in the world, potentially more.

At least it was better than the developer survey that was only about AI. That one still makes me facepalm just thinking about it.

Because: "The dose makes the poison".

In other words, any chemical—even water and oxygen—can be toxic if too much is ingested or absorbed into the body. The toxicity of a specific substance depends on a variety of factors, including how much of the substance a person is exposed to, how they are exposed, and for how long.

Asking just because I'm curious... why are you using xpath?

Also, is this for a website you control or for some else's website?

If you're rendering the page (in a browser, e2e test-runner, spider bot, etc...), have you considered running some js on the page to get the image? Something like: const imagePath = document.getElementById('exampleIdOnElement').style.backgroundImage

The reason I recommend it is because you can't rely on the CLI itself. Git commands can do weirdly counter-intuitive things depending on the version and settings of your git install. A command that works for one person may not work for another. Or worse, appear to work and fail silently. Or even worse, cause a problem that you won't find out about until later (if you can even determine the root cause at all).

That's why I recommended Fork.

Also, it's not $60, it essentially has an unlimited evaluation period (a la sublime text) so you can try it out for free for as long as you want, and pay if you want too (I have).

The linux port is in progress.

EDIT: just a sidenote, if you really want to force youself to go CLI only, you'll want to look into how git behaves differently depending on config. I recommend starting with this talk at NDC to get a good enough git config, then move onto Julia Evans blog as she's currently going on a public journey of untangling how the same commands can do different things in modern git.

You'd probably be better off switching to a more powerful git gui like fork

Shouldn't you have an adblocker to block those scripts?

Lol, well I could change it, but it was based on the gif at https://quietkit.com/box-breathing/

I think it's because you're not supposed to expand your lungs so much that they feel like they're going to burst.

But if you scroll to the bottom of the css and look at line 69, you can change transform: scale(90%); to transform: scale(100%); to see if you like it better.
