The website design and content are much nicer than the "ideas" here. Just standard LLM slop once if you actually have read some of these books.

500 million users. Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean an alternative doesn't exist.


Issue is, the WPS office suite is more bloated with ads than even Microsoft's offerings are, and, overall, is quite a doozy to navigate.

If you want a true and good alternative, I'd recommend ONLYOFFICE[1].

WPS Office is Chinese. OnlyOffice is Russian.

Those really only exist because of Western tech sanctions.


OpenOffice is no longer actively developed. It was replaced by LibreOffice quite awhile ago.

I appreciate the correction; I misread that. Thanks.


It's not going to be a valid alternative in the west - certainly not something any government would even consider.


"alternative" is doing a lot of lifting here.

While more efficient in some areas, it's missing a lot of quality of life tools plus legal/compliance/security tooling.


While there does not seem to be a maintained snap or flagpole package available, the company behind WPS Office releases DEBs and RPMs it seems: https://www.tech2geek.net/how-to-install-wps-office-on-linux...


ideally you should get a deduction in later years


have you considered not all ideas are good and maybe they shouldn't see the light of day?


I often wonder whether neuroscience on LLMs is harder or humans?


This xkcd comic doesn't apply anymore due to AI making generating automation code trivial.


You're discounting the mental effort that goes into describing what you want to an LLM and then verifying the output, which is only worth it if it actually saves you time. Doing a simple search for a few DVDs does not seem worth the effort to me.


It wasn't a few. There are literally thousands of films that never made the leap from VHS to DVD. My starting list was only a few hundred, but still it saved me hours.


This is terrible

This looks amazing. I love tech in Lindy products that actually works well.


When you call yourself "Open"AI and then turn around and backstab the entire open community, its pretty hard to recover from that.


They undermined their not-for-profit mission by changing their governance structure. This changed their very DNA.


They released a near-SOTA open source model not too long ago


open weights != open source


they didn't release the source to it.
