I expect a lot of business disruption because of AI. Agree it's not the same as employee replacement, but it adds to the sort of fog of war around what effect AI is really having.

In my experience GPT-5 is also much more effective in the Cursor context than the Codex context. Cursor deserves props for doing something right under the hood.

Yeah sounds unhealthy, at least self-aware?

These numbers don't pass sanity check for me. With 4x300W cards you can get a 1K token DeepSeek R1 output in about 10 seconds. That's just 3.3Wh right? And that's before you even consider batching.

Hmm so I can't really tell if this falls under "Ahead of the game" or "AI psychosis". The latter is usually accompanied by impact to quality of life, with hints of that where he talks about coding on his phone aroun

You get points for suggesting edits and badges for completing review activities (votes to close, triage, etc). I thought you got points for the latter as well but looks like that's not the case.

I'm kind of confused too. I spend way more time testing and reviewing code than I could possibly keep up with 4 agents

And half the garbage is from people "moderating"! You are literally rewarded points for doing moderating activities, so of course every post is flooded with BS edits, votes to close, etc.. Cobra effect and whatnot.

Oh absolutely - when it becomes clear you have high engagement somewhere, adapt that feature to facilitate the engagement! They could have made comments threaded or embedded ways to expand it into the right forum, but instead they literally

Big fan of Linux. Use various distros daily. That said, tech folk routinely underestimate how much they rely on their own technical skill. Try using Linux for a week without ever opening a terminal. Terminal is a "f this I'm going

Which, IMO, is better than having swarms of cheap bombs flying around. Taken to the extreme, I also prefer the current status quo vs. everyone having a nuclear-tipped ICBM, and would welcome a countermeasure if cheap ICBMs became a thing.

Browsing OpenAI's careers page, I'm seeing at most $275k for most positions, so I'm assuming the median is much lower than an average being pulled up by a few rockstar positions.

A lot of comments decrying new weapons tech, but I think drone defense tech is particularly critical right now and going to save a lot of lives. Put another way, I don't think we would be against new clothing that made bullets less eff

Not sure how to address this without just restating TFA. Not all change builds on existing knowledge, and sometimes it is so rapid that keeping up is difficult.

If anything I'd expect all these tools to be easier for new engineers to adopt, unburdened by how things were before.

I can sympathize with what the author is saying but I agree that "LLMs are not fun" is a pretty coarse statement that invites disagreement.

Yeah for anyone else (especially Mac and Linux users) who recently had this frustration thrust upon you: Go into VSCode settings and search for terminal integration > uncheck.

It would be justified if AI were actually the cause, but this article does nothing to prove that. The only "tech jobs" that can even demonstrate direct replacement are call-center type roles. Everything else is just loosely blamed

by causal 10mo ago
No it's not. There is no shortage of tech problems to solve and there are no tech jobs that AI can do alone. AI is sucking up investment and AI hype is making executives stupid. Hundreds of billions of dollars that used to go towards h

I love the idea of educating students on the math behind AI to demystify them. But I think it's a little weird to assert "AI is not magic and AI systems do not think. It’s just maths." Equivalent statements could be made abou

That ARC AGI score is a little suspicious. That's a really tough for AI benchmark. Curious if there were improvements to the test harness because that's a wild jump in general problem solving ability for an incremental update.

Well yeah? It's not about the font, it's about the pettiness of the declared reasons for the reversal

Yeah I mean... I take a lot of joy in the random yet specific faces in those places I visited long ago. It's an important part of the memory for me.

Okay maybe this one isn't an exaggeration when they say leap forward

IMO Google struggles to productize things, so they sit on great ideas a while or do the wrong thing with them, but OpenAI really showed the way and Google can probably take it from here.

So this has to be a meaningful PR for the open source repository? You can't just invent arbitrary coding challenges? This seems like trying to get free code contributions with a weird sort of gambling mechanic attached.

It's not, just try it. You'll likely be underwhelmed because Cursor has more features, really.

Yeah I kind of agree. I think there's demand for an connector ecosystem because it's something we can understand and market, but I think it's the wrong paradigm

Booking.com is also just a terrible service. Their search is one of the better hotel search tools, but I stopped using them after they "lost" a booking but continued to charge me for it anyway. They denied it existed when I finall
