I gave this a go and it's a really nice way of generating context-aware SQL without having to upload your entire dataset or even just your data model to an LLM.

Gives you a conversational interface for your SQL data, alongside a more traditional SQL GUI.

A note on liquid versus powder detergents. In the UK, at least, my understanding is that liquid detergents do not contain bleaching agents, whereas powders do. That is, unless you buy a colour-safe powder.

If you're pouring bleach into your machine, it can erode the rubber seals. I use Dettol instead (I think it's called Lysol in the States), which seems to do the job.

A bit of bleach once and awhile is ok. There is even a spot for it to be put in on the detergent tray. I do not use it all the time. I stick to the powder and a cup or so of bleach every now and then on a clean cycle (once or twice a year). Pretty sure it is a color safe powder I am using.

Isn’t this more like Teams vs Slack or Zoom?

Consumer brand recognition isn’t the issue. Bundling with Workspace might be.

Important to note that the migration works well one way only. If you later want to migrate out it'll be more painful.

Yeah, there are no export tools, but technically it would be up to the other party (like Google or MS) to make those right? When you want to go Proton -> Google ;)

I guess with the bridge you can move your mail uit via imap, the Drive you can just download it all. Calendar will be annoying I think because there are no open protocols like caldav (by design, and I do miss that!!!).

I'll give a different point of view.

I switched my personal email from Google Workspace to Proton. My use case wasn't privacy (especially when 99% of my email is sent to and received from people using Gmail, Office 365, etc.) I was interested in trying Proton more to support a plurality of service providers.

As such, I'm probably not Proton's target customer. That means the compromises Proton makes to enable E2E are not worth it to me.

Some examples:

* Search is like going back 20 years.

* The lack of automatic filtering (e.g. Gmail's automatically applied Promotions, Updates, etc labels) has made the signal to noise ratio in my personal inbox so low that I'm considering just taking the app off my phone or suppressing notifications, at least. I don't have the time to set up manual filters for everything that comes in.

* The lack of automatic filtering and decent search means that my personal email is now pretty much useless.

Similarly, it's pretty hard to migrate away from because you can't just use IMAP to shift your email history to another provider.

This isn't a negative review of Proton. This is just to say that choosing Proton Mail means living with the compromises necessary to enable their main feature (privacy) and I don't care enough about that one feature to make those compromises worthwhile (because my email is going through so many non-private services anyway).

Yeah this is why I chose Fastmail when migrating off Gmail - I needed something more usable, not private

Great to see a push towards standardisation in this space.

To be fair, most of the science fiction is about it being horribly broken or, at least, functioning in ways its human stewards did not intend.

yeah besides the first and last chapters, this is pretty much I, Robot in a nutshell

I heard someone say that they wished it had been called High Capacity 2, rather than High Speed 2.

What we need is more rail capacity, while people opposed to this project latched onto the idea that no one really wanted to get from London to Birmingham (a somewhat unlovely city that is the first major stop on the line) faster.

Roughly translating the Japanese "Shinkansen" as "New trunk line" or "New main line" would have worked fine. Or "West coast relief line".

Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK. I think people know that, even if they make fun of it.

It's a surprising black hole on the map, seen from London. In 20 years in the country, it has never come into any conversation I've had except for "have you ever been to Birmingham? No, me neither." For a major city so accessible from London, it's very odd.

You need a "product", not hourly billing. Defined outcome and a price per engagement, rather than charging for your time.

Did we learn nothing from Sim City?
