Is that even true though? As per another comment Gemini CLI and OpenAI Codex have more stars, and they're both much larger companies. Then Replit, V0, Lovable are all extremely popular. I don't have a horse in this race just find

Ask HN: Why do Cursor, Windsurf and Claude Code dominate the conversation?

Realistically - LLMs don't "delete the database". I find it quite unlikely that it proposed drop all out of nowhere. I wonder if what actually happened was a schema migration with an ORM? Prisma is still a pretty common choic

Analogy: wow this Tesla full self driving mode is legit, the car really can drive itself! I'm all in, I've fired my driver and deleted Uber. OK the car scraped my other car. I made it apologize and PROMISE not to do it again. OH N

I'd guess it's something like Operator which works on your PC not a remote virtual one.

Is this that machines rising up thing I've heard so much about? (Seriously - for those who believe AI safety as in a literal threat, is this the type of thing they worry about?)

People with no product, no specific insight, and no published plan raising $$ trillions, due to elite background. (Sure -- that background is somewhat self earned.)

This is so weird to me. Yes, she was there at OpenAI and by all accounts a super respected non researcher . Clearly she's incredible, her reputation proceeds her etc. but is operational strength (being a good exec) really what gets to

As someone who stuck with it - it's good. And it's not actually just a thin wrapper. Their tab model is really, really good now (I think that was Cursor's big advantage for a long time). And they also price very fairly (read:

Reading this made me wish I hadn't named my son Windsurf

It's weird being a Windsurf fan on HN. You get the feeling that you're in the minority or doing it wrong because the dialog is dominated by Cursor and (more recently) Claude Code. It's also been a lot of random stuff recently

As an actual user of Windsurf model, I don't think "tried" is fair. I sometimes use it. It's not as smart as Gemini but it iterates quicker and is very well aligned with their tool calls

It's a staggeringly bad deal. It's a hugely expensive task where unless you are the literal best in the world, you would never even see any usage. And even for those who are BOTH best and well known they have to be willing to lose

Windsurf has developed their own fron tier model. It's pretty good. It's not sota but it's very well aligned with their tool call formatting etc.

isn't using software like this deeply illegal? or is that a legislative blind-spot? seems like this database should be sent to the FBI and someone can make a career out of prosecuting

Interestingly I think I would over-think this. The interviewer is assuming a single server, running in a VPS type environment. There's also no notion of state persistence/timeout/recovery etc. I think I'd immediately hav

I can top this. The Erudite zone was literally built around a massive chasm. Early on in the game I unlocked "levitate" - and naturally levitated down into the big chasm. A little way down a loading screen hits for a zone called &

I don't think this is a security flaw. That's like saying it's a security flaw in the Chrome store that you could enable dev mode, copy the malware and run it that way.

I read through the pricing page and it's super confusing. Like I can understand it but it just seems very awkward. I much prefer the price, and pricing model, of Windsurf (although Claude 4 not being an option is odd)

This is impressive. But it just strikes me as optimizing the wrong thing. A CTF shouldn't be about submission ops. Surely it would be better for everyone if all teams who send the flag within a submission window share the prize

I can't say I've ever wanted to transcribe code from an image. That seems super niche. Perhaps the specific idea is to harvest coding textbooks as training data for LLMs?

Two takes here. Cynical and optimistic. Cynical take: describing yourself as a full stack AI IDE company sounds very invest-able in a "what if they're right" kind of way. They could plausibly ask for higher valuations, etc. O

I don't like or agree with this take. You're basically saying - "something good exists, so why try to improve upon it". Their stated goal is to improve on the frontier models. It's ambitious, but on the other hand t

Interesting choice to have your only demo video be testing a CLI. Unless that's literally the use-case it's for?

I like deno's security model where you have to enable things. But I think it made a HUGE mistake to the point of being useless. Realistically, we need to grant access to env variables, network, etc. So those flags are functionally usel

Couple things: First, perf you mention is from fundamentally CPU intensive workloads, not a sparse async environment like a typical server. Second (far more important) the reason we do this is type safety. We don't want types to break
