It's absolutely possible, but on an M4 mac the largest / slowest model I could feasibly run was very inferior, compared to the default paid Cursor experience. I tested with Kilo Code: https://kilocode.ai/ -- it&#x

> Hamas, Hezbolla or Houthis are hardly Russian allies I beg to differ. * Russia sent missiles to Houthis just this year. Also assists with intelligence for attacks, at least according to https://www.fdd.org/analysis/

Point taken, thanks! Re: Russia deliberately targets civilians, but being totally inept, misses and hits different civilians. -- Yep, absolutely, but this is unfalsifiable I guess. I mean, maybe they're targeting hostile aliens from sp

This poses a fun dilemma: the belief that Russia deliberately targets civilians (which is likely correct) almost requires us to also believe that the Russian army fields precision weaponry allowing deliberately targeting things (of which th

Taping a grenade to it (instead of the lightning guidance thing) will be probably as efficient or more, as a weapon. If they could weaponize earthquakes instead, now that'd be brilliant.

Paid YouTube still shows some ads, so no, it's just a way to give Google some money.

Where it says "you just have to get lucky", there's clearly a typo. The correct text reads, "you just have to get good."

Yep, and certainly there are a lot more errors like these (giving enormous benefit of the doubt here, as the document seems to always err on the side of "other library bad")

In some countries (e.g. Singapore, China, Israel), when you buy a house, on paper you get something like a 99-year renewable lease on land — different from a domain name in scale, but not so much in substance. So I guess the aptness of the

Yep, I was a Linux user for the longest time, so naturally used compose for em dashes (compose key + triple hyphen IIRC). I was later thrilled to learn that on macOS (which was called Mac OS X back then) it's even faster to type with o

This can be a forward compatibility concern: imagine we run a company, and our product is a GUI app written in C or C++. If we also believe that the desktop GUI apps are a thing of the past, and in the future everyone wants only web apps, w

Does it really not support this though? I imagine this could be made to work in a WebWorker for example, where you can run the busy loop, and actively let it ingest new messages each iteration.

Absolutely, when stuff runs fast it's better UX compared to when the stuff runs slow. I think what parent comments suggest is, the speed of applying a diff is not the major bottleneck in LLM-assisted coding, and improvements in other a

In a sense, it has been for a long time. With Linux, there's often a good clean way to do a thing, and then there are weird hacks. On Windows, it often starts with weird hacks, as Microsoft is further enclosing its ecosystem. (I use
