Yes, but it's not the fault of these frameworks. If people wanted to they could ship source maps on purpose and not just accidentally. Not exposing source code was one of the early drivers for tooling.

how are kotlin style builders or F# style computation expressions better than jsx, svelt, tsrx or any of the other sort-of-html in js/ts syntaxes?

There is a place for local models. Typing prediction, speech to text, etc. But I have yet to see uses of local LLMs that are all that compelling.

I think it's fair to say there are plenty of people in Apple's leadership that would have had the authority to tell Alan Dye "no". They didn't. I think it's fair to say that the company leadership likes liquid

The missteps of those intel MacBooks are undeniable, but I also feel like the new design feels very safe and unambitious. There is the huge notch. The 16" model is (given screen and battery size) 35% heavier than competitors and not e

Do you mean the new desktop app? The Cursor IDE/editor or whatever you want to call it is still based VSCode, right?

by YmiYugy 6mo ago
Sure, but so what? It seems that model size and RL are the determining factors these days.

by YmiYugy 6mo ago
Cursor seems to be pivoting to a Codex like desktop app. The real product though is probably their decently tuned harness and their composer models. I agree that their popularity has waned. I would attribute that mostly to customers chasing

Can they really put $10B worth of options under "investment"? If so that would seem like the most plausible take on why this is happening.

I really doubt they'll swap in Grok. Grok seems pretty dead. Probably more likely they'll reuse the hardware for composer. If value is a concern, Codex. It's pretty hard to beat those subsidies. If you really want model freed

I think composer has currently by far the best price to performance ratio for coding (not counting subsidized subscription cost by OpenAI and Anthropic). It's based on Kimi K2, but I think it's fair to say, that their RL really se

Buying the customers seems though, when it looks like they migrate to whomever offers the steepest subsidies.

by YmiYugy 6mo ago
I do think the Codex harness is a bit better than others. Doesn't make a ton of difference with OpenAI models, but with Google and Anthropic models the difference is quite noticeable I think.

I don't know of Grok but we use Cursor (2000+ people, probably like 1000 devs)

Even if it wasn't for Musk, are these relationships really worth so much? There is a certain value in being on the approved vendor list, but it seems to me that there really isn't a lot of vendor lock-in. I think most people could

In a per capita sense of course. But it does pose an interesting question. To what degree does the quality of rail scale with absolute investments vs per capita investments. On the face of it rail is almost entirely fixed cost. The capital

I don' really understand where people's enthusiasm for the hardware comes from (aside from the chips). They have corrected many of the functional compromises of the Ive era, but it seems otherwise unambitous. The recent Pro iPhone

I know that for myself exercise increases my resting heart rate in the short term. It only decreases after a day or two, sometimes more depending on how fatigued I am. I thought that was common, with recovery times obviously decreasing the

I think it's more politics and economics. Switzerland is quite a lot richer than Japan and is extremely decentralized politically. That creates strong incentives to provide good public services even to mountain villages. It also helps

yes it would, but depending on the app it could put you in a ton of hurt. - AI has gotten a lot better on less popular tech, but there is still a big capability gap between native frameworks an the blessed react + tailwind stack. - You will

This might be a "the grass is greener on the other side" situation because I do a lot more web than native dev, but in my experience native while just as quirky as web will usually give you low level APIs to work around design fla

I don't think that is true. Testing with rust 1.92 enum Tree<T> { Lead(T), Branch(Vec<Tree<T>>), } works just fine, no superfluous Box needed.

I can see it going both ways. If knowledge work continues to roughly look the way it looks then I think maintenance is going to be an issue. Both in terms of keeping the spaghetti together but also in terms of all the bad design decisions y

ASML doesn't quite do overnight orders for lithography machines. There is limited construction capacity to build new data centers. Expanding power generation and grid capacity is also a whole can of worms. My point is just that tech CE

I think if Microsoft or Google or Nvidia or Amazon went to TSMC and said hey we guarantee to buy 3 fabs worth of chips from you for the next 10 years, they'd probably find a way to make that work.

by YmiYugy 9mo ago
It seems a bit odd that data center operators aren’t willing to put their money where their mouth is. Data center operators say: expand more quickly. TSMC says: we need long term demand to justify that. And all the data center guys say is:
