Arguments against history require more reasoning. Patterns emerge because that's how the systems work. "This time it will be different" require justification about why the system has significantly changed. The article makes a

One issue with the author's suggestion that AI makes it faster for defenders: the issue was never time to fix, but time to distribute. My employer is working on a fairly early and small AI platform. Performance issues and other bugs ar

Most of our employees don't hit their $50/month cap. Others end up into the hundreds. It depends on how you use it.

Except that coding agents will do this at times. That's half the problem. A human will forget details and exaggerate others, but LLMs fail in spectacular ways that humans rarely would, like trying to copy a document from memory rather

If they can't buy it, they will build it. Wouldn't you rather be the one selling it to them?

Not sufficient. See the GitHub thread. It is tagging things even when AI features are disabled.

I don't know for certain, but likely because they are required to. There are lots of other examples where companies will only abide by regulations in places where it's required rather than applying it generally. A common example i

Also great if you are distracted, perhaps by kids in the back or something happening on the side of the road. Mine has chirped at me a few times. It's basically the electronic version of rumble strips.

Absolutely, that's how it always goes. Then you'll see people saying, "if you don't like it, find another job" as if you can just walk up to the door of an office and order one.

Composer works great for me and it's much cheaper than Opus. Grok is the cheapest but it's obviously being subsidized heavily

Cursor isn't the hot new thing, but enterprises move slowly. Cursor is alive and well in big businesses, even if the Twittersphere isn't covering it.

As someone put in the unfortunate position of building an AI IDE in three weeks, I assure you it's much more difficult than it seems. Sure, we were able to get something working with all the features you would expect, but the performan

We just started adopting Cursor over the last six months. We have at least a hundred developers using it and several more signing up every day. I'm one of them and I'm quite happy with it.

It's exactly what Nvidia is doing with everyone these days. They invest in a company with money that is earmarked to buy Nvidia GPUs. Nvidia's books show lots of investments and lots of sales - win win! Of course, it's just b

I hope their models improve. I used Junie when it first came out and it was okay but unreliable. I use Cursor with composer right now and I never have any issues. I sure do miss using PyCharm though.

So nice of the Economist to start off by setting the stage as a free democracy versus a murderous dictatorship. The two are starting look more and more similar each day. Which one has killed more Iranian civilians recently? Trump and Hegset

I have used nothing but Sonnet and composer for a year and they work fine. LLMs were certainly not unusable before and Opus is certainly not necessary, especially considering the cost. People get excited by new records on benchmarks but for

It's all I use at work and I've yet to find anything it can't handle. Then again, I'm a principal engineer and I already have designs in mind, so I'm giving it careful instruction and checking its work every time.

Yes, regardless of why you left. If you did something wrong, obviously you won't be announcing that and admitting to it. If you did nothing wrong but were forced out, you will likely still keep quiet because complaining loudly about yo

Except that there was no link between violent video games and mass shootings. It has been shown many times. The families blamed the video games despite there being no direct evidence of it. The games did not tell them they should go on a ma

Cigarettes and asbestos are just two examples of where this absolutely did happen with plenty of public evidence, including successful legal cases.

Trump tweets insane things hourly. A reputable news organization announcing something actually happening with quotes from both sides confirming is news worthy.

Even better, running something like 'claude -p' at the command line is exactly the kind of thing a model would do. Mine loves to run python, node, and a dozen other applications.

Registration expires, someone snaps it up immediately. It happened to a customer of mine with a domain that was their name. It pointed at a page saying it was available for sale for $4000.

Not that I remember. VS Code was a surprising turnabout for a company that was both adamantly closed and threw FUD around like monkeys in a zoo.

We can have and use electricity even if that's not what you put in your tank. We can have both things. This is the US government actively trying to eliminate one of them.

Are you seriously comparing the number of people? That's silly. It's the amount paid per person. You pay so much in gas, I pay so much for my EV. For the same amount of driving, I am paying more than you do. That's the proble

That's the framing but it's also misleading. We are being charged more than a typical ICE driver would pay in gasoline tax. It's also listed as being for road maintenance, but in fact it goes into the general revenue, so it h

Several people have said that they get much more range and charge much faster. I'm quite interested to know what your situation is: what is the efficiency of your vehicle in kWh/100km or Wh/km? At what rate are you able to ch

That's not nearly the problem that people think it is. Industrial and farm operations often use that much. Upgrading is the problem though. Many of these stations were installed when 50kW was normal. With no other competition nearby th
