Social media addiction didn't come around until about 2008 - and even then it took a few years to become widespread. Trump being elected twice isn't the cause of the decline, it's a symptom of it. The GWOT is one cause among

Are you talking about Medusa Halo? It's going to support up to 256GB unified memory (up from 128GB for Strix Halo and 192GB for Gorgon Halo). That might just be barely enough to run a 2-bit quant GLM-5.2. It will expand memory bus to

If we didn't have a RAM/GPU shortage right now they would be more nervous than they are. But as it is very few people are going to be able to afford a rig that can run this model effectively. That's probably not going to chan

> so the theory is Cursor wins that as the "model agnostic" But there are many model agnostic harnesses out there: OpenCode, Roo, Cline, and many others. And even Claude Code can be setup to use non-Anthropic models.

But what's the $60B differentiator here? There are so many similar tools out there. I generally use Opencode, but also Claude code, antigravity and sometimes Kilo code on VS Studio. How can cursor be worth even 10% of 60B?

I mean, I guess SpaceX has a lot of money to throw around. I just don't see how Cursor is worth even 10% of this number. There are so many similar tools out there - many plugins to VS Code (Kilo, Cline, Roo, etc), many CLI tools (claud

I'm going to guess they'll go after sites like Huggingface that host downloads. I suspect we'll be torrenting Chinese models in the not-too-distant future. Or we'll have to geo-spoof with VPN to download from other count

After this action, I have no doubt that this administration will try to ban Chinese models. Of course, doing so will be futile, we'll figure out ways to get around it, but now I'm pretty sure they're going to try.

I unleashed it on a compiler codebase that I've been developing for several months now using Claude Sonnet 4.5/6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Pro(recent), and a bit of Qwen3.6-27B. Right away Fable found several longstanding bugs
