Not so long ago I wrote a guide on how to get GitHub Copilot running with a local model in Visual Studio Code. Since then Copilot subscriptions have got much more expensive, local models have got much more powerful and getting local Copilot up and running has got much easier. So I wrote an updated guide.

Thank you for submitting this post, and telling me about Lemonade. I was surprised at how easy it was to install on my Ubuntu host! I think I'll have fun playing around with it.

Wow, it's actually real:

Thanks - we'll put that link in the toptext.

And the site even has a French translation.

If you're on an AMD platform Lemonade (https://lemonade-server.ai/) added image generation in version 9.2 (https://github.com/lemonade-sdk/lemonade/releases/tag/v9.2.0).

WSL doesn't have a virtualization layer, WSL1 did have but it wasn't a feasible approach so WSL2 is basically running VMs with the Hyper-V hypervisor.

Apple looks like it's skipped the failed WSL1 and gone straight for the more successful WSL2 approach.

A direct link to the LinkedIn post instead: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7160295...

I know LinkedIn is bad but a link to Twitter that links to LinkedIn is worse.

I posted the LN link an hour ago but it didn't allow comments, not sure what happened:

Ok, we'll merge the comments thither, since you had the original source, in keeping with the site guidelines:

Submitters: "Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Somebody flagged it, which turned off the ability to comment. (I didn't know comments could be turned off on articles directly.)

I just "vouched" for it and the comment ability came back.

dang: Seems like this post should point to candiddevmike's.

No one flagged it; rather linkedin.com is banned on HN because it has been the source of too many low-quality posts and too much promotional behavior.

Oh wow, TIL. Thanks, dang.

(I’ve emailed a link to this thread of comments to the HN mods, using the footer contact link, so that they see and respond to this discussion.)

Fixed now. Thanks!

That’s 25 hours a month which is going to be plenty to get new developers hooked on this.

How does this compare to PowerToys Run[0] which is what I use instead of the current awful start menu and search in windows.

PowerToys Run has search built in and can search pretty much everything in windows including files, folders, windows, the registry, settings and more.

Last I checked, there was no easy way to opt out of telemetry in PowerToys. I uninstalled it.

If you disable telemetry in the windows setting it also disables telemetry for PowerToys [0], I agree it's not ideal it's not hard.

That's because you are in the other 1% of users, they're not saying 300 searches is the average, median or mean across all users.

Yes, it works well but there is a limit of 16k words. See this reddit comment thread [0] for more details, but if your documents are anywhere near that big then I'd say Postgres is definitely not the right tool for you.

I often see complicated search solutions implemented when PostgreSQL is just sitting there with its incredible FTS powers being ignored. To help some of the teams I'm working with get an idea of the power available to them I wrote up this two part article with a github repo for spinning up a db to follow along.
