bloop VS ios-mail

https://github.com/BloopAI/bloop Is fully open source and has full text + regex search built on tantivy fyi

Thanks! Bloop really helped with the documentation! they index your code base and uses RAG locally to talk against it. It works shockingly well.

In this blog post, I’ll be comparing 3 distinct AI-first code search tools I recently came across: Cody (developed by late-stage startup, Sourcegraph), SeaGOAT (an open-source project that was trending on HN last week), and Bloop (an early-stage YC startup). I’ll be evaluating them along the dimensions of user-friendliness as well as their accuracy.

If you're confused about any of the code snippets above, you can check out bloop.ai and phind.com (along with its VSCode extension) to answer any of your questions about the repository, noting that both have free plans.

bloop (YC S21) | Rust AI Engineer | Onsite | London, UK

We're a YC + tier-1 VC backed startup, working on a AI chat assistant for software developers that can answer questions about any large codebase.

About you: you hack around with GPT on the weekend, maybe you even fine-tune some of these new open source models. But you're also a solid programmer, capable of not just prototyping a nice demo but also shipping performant code that can scale. You're probably quite good at what you do, maybe you were top of your class, or maybe you rose the ranks to your comfortable management role, but yearn for the days of writing code, redbull and deploying on a Friday.

We're a small team, looking for one individual to join us in London, in-person at least 3 days per week.

Please reach out to me at join [at] bloop [dot] ai with "HN AI Engineer" in the subject line and a note about why this is exciting and a link to your portfolio or linkedin/resume.

P.S. Our stack is Rust, so it's likely the role will go to a candidate with Rust experience but if you think you have something to offer that compensates for lack of Rust we should chat anyway!

Bro let me turn your life inside out: https://bloop.ai

Another example is Bloop, it is a code search engine built on top of tantivy and qdrant.

I see that Proton (https://proton.me/) offers a fuller suite of tools these days beyond just mail: calendar/password manager/cloud storage/vpn

The pricing looks pretty good too at $9.99/month for everything

Has anyone migrated everything to them? How is it if so?

I currently pay for a Google Workspace on my own domain and iCloud for storage, which already amounts to more than Proton are charging (and Proton allows 3 custom domains for email vs Googles 1)

I've been running my own email server for the last 10 years or so using iRedMail / CentOS on a cheap VM. It requires very little maintenance and I never have problems with delivery (just make sure you have DMARC, DKIM, SPF, all setup).

Occasionally I consider moving to service provider but I don't really trust any of them with something so important. Especially Google, as there are so many cases of people getting locked out of their account with virtually no support available to them.

If I were going to switch to a provider, it would likely be Proton. They are based out of Switzerland and as far as I know have an outstanding reputation.

If you have Proton VPN installed on an iOS, MacOS, or Android device, could you please try switching to the Stealth protocol (https://protonvpn.com/blog/stealth-vpn-protocol/) to see if you will be able to successfully connect afterwards. If you do manage to connect to a VPN server with the Stealth protocol, please try accessing proton.me afterwards and let us know how it goes.

Just for science, you should try a different VPN. You can get Proton for free if you sign up for Proton email at Proton.me. It’s at least another data point.

Meanwhile, you could try accessing proton.me from another web browser, disable any browser extensions on your current web browser, and make sure you can access any other websites on the same setup.

So two days ago I signed up with a fresh account with Brave, a VPN, and a fresh proton.me email. Went thru fine-- no problems, and used the site since. I used the site on my phone with the Brave browser, and fine again.

Proton AG is a privately-owned company and does not publish financial information, which makes assessing their future success or failure, or product strategy, difficult to predict. Any voluntarily released information is available through their website under Who We Are and Resources & Support, much of which is summarized on Wikipedia). I doubt that an officer or employee of Proton will provide insider information on Reddit that isn't already on the Proton website. Someone else here, who might be closer to the company, might be able to share better insights, but I see no reports of financial distress. I judge the financial and organizational stability of Proton to be at least equal to any of its competitors, and better than most. But these are my opinions and I have little concrete evidence to support them.

Proton is a decent alternative for email and calendar among others if you value privacy
