And besides, because transferring a folder with a bazillion small files (e.g., a git repo) can also be very slow even with a good connection, so you can first package it into a single file, and then use above-mentioned trick:

tar -czvf folder.tar.gz folder
split -n 10
...

Want to upload a 5 GB file, but the Internet connection is slow, so it takes hours? Why not split the file, transfer it in multiple chunks in parallel and assemble it on the target machine?

split -n 10 file file.split # creates 10 files named xaa, xab, ... inside the folder file.split
rclone -P --transfers 32 --checkers 64 file.split :sftp,host=example.com,user=myuser:/path/to/dest/

On the target machine when completed:

cd /path/to/dest
cat file.split/x* > file

#bash #linux #rclone #network

Well-done #generative #AI can be a powerful data processing engine for natural #language, having such capabilities inside your #web #browser would be a real win.
The current use-case for #AI integration in #web #browsers is #website summarization. But I find this use-case a little weak. Most web page content is already quite short and I can usually fly over it in a few seconds to get a rough sense of its value - not much longer than the #chatbot needs. However, where AI starts to get useful is when you can query the website. For example, you have a page with a large table and you want to extract the first and fourth column. How much time would it save?
I actually think the #AI #chatbot integration in #internet #browser|s like #Mozilla #Firefox can be a very useful #productivity feature. However, after having tried the current chatbot integration of a few browsers now, I really feel like they are utterly useless: the bot cannot directly access my currently open website, so there's really no need for this "integration". Instead, I could just open the prompt window elsewhere and would have an equivalent experience.

Don't fall into the anti-AI hype - <antirez>

My #employer now encourages everyone to use as much #AI #coding assistance as possible. I'm using this as an opportunity to see how much more #productive I can get. Interesting: AI coding assistants are great for low-risk throw-away scripts and #debugging supporting #code. For example, I created 3 Firefox plugins and 2 Python scripts in just an hour that gather and visualize #debug information in a single click. Before, the #work wouldn't really have been worth it.
