Wow. Thanks for digging.

This one? https://www.cursor.com/ Looks like it's not open source

Interesting. I like that better developer tooling is coming out. That said, this particular tool seems like it's trying to be very hand-holdy, maybe not targeting developers? For developers Claude Dev seems like a more functional equiv

Reading the discussion, I see the developers intend to never sign their OSX package. This is a pretty big red flag for me, shows that the developer isn't really serious about supporting OSX. Too bad, I was excited by the idea, but this

+1 on Apple Silicon build being damaged. A lot of users that care about aesthetic are going to be on MBPs and they're all blocked right now.

Except even incognito persists and shares cookies across all incognito sessions for as long as at least one incognito window is open. Cookies will not be erased until you close every window.

Seems like a terrible experience, especially the "use of virtual machines" being flagged as suspicious considering what a benign and widespread tool that is. Are you based in the US or?

I think "sees the results" also embeds the idea of a mind. An LLM doesn't have a mind to see or plan or think with. An LLM in a loop creates agency much like a car rolling downhill is self driving.

Makes sense. With local models it's easy to make this happen with poorly defined stop tokens. The user's voice is vectorized somehow, and the model is predicting a series of vectors and won't have a sense of "self"
822.

I suspect that the pursuit of LLM agents is rooted in falling for the illusion of a mind which LLMs so easily weave. So much of the stuff being built on LLMs in general seems fixated on making that illusion more believable.

Another tech asymmetry that puts consumers at a disadvantage. I wonder if there exists any kind of service for similarly leveraging technology to help consumers find claims opportunities. E.g. run a drone after a hail storm to look for dama

That much seems easy to believe, I just find it hard to connect that to an obstacle for domestic chip production

Only report I saw on it was that Intel said they have tested working 18A chips.
826.
by causal 2y ago
Yeah I'm a little confused by the premise. How would reshoring chip production be easier if Apple weren't out there buying chips? I get that they are buying up all of the TSMC chips in some segments. Doesn't that just create

by causal 2y ago
The article quotes a mention of Intel getting into the foundry business - this seems like the most obvious good move to make, even if a little late, right? Being able to operate a general fab for chips seems far more important now than the

Yeah I think the HN crowd easily underestimates the amount of specialized talent and effort that goes into a good design. Much like good software, good design blends in so well that users don't realize how hard it was to make. Apple sp

Hadn't heard of Arc, went to download it just now, and...it requires an account to use? Really? Browser UIs have barely evolved in the past decade so I guess I'm excited that Firefox is trying something new.

by causal 2y ago
Might have to try this. I've been waiting for browser vendors to realize that users don't get joy from browsers themselves, they want the web-apps that browsers provide access to. If I notice my browser it's probably because

Yeah this is where most budgeting tools fail me. These tools often provide super detailed categories that the user just has to make educated guesses about- and the onus is then on the user to abide by their guesswork. Not to mention how the

Awesome. Question though: don't most VPN filters simply block a list of all known VPN endpoints? Maybe I missed something but I don't see how Proton's Stealth evades this simple filter?

Fair point, but I wasn't able to verify the claim that most Windows users are not using Edge since its release. I am curious what the actual % is for new Windows PC installs that are not governed by a corporate policy.

If it creates a monopoly then no, it's not okay, no matter how normal.

Important context is that massive sum of money Google pays for such exclusivity.
836.
by causal 2y ago
Yup. Google is king because it's the default, not because it's the best. Take away the bribed default position and suddenly better search engines stand a chance - and that's great for consumers.
837.
by causal 2y ago
Disagree. People use Google because it's the default, not because they will go out of their way to keep using it. The minute Apple changes the iPhone default, all but a few iPhone users stop using Google.

Great if renewable, but is there a hidden freshwater consumption cost here?

Yup. I remember when COVID lockdowns hit and everyone started working from home, my company suddenly had a zillion new initiatives and projects that appeared out of thin air and we were all busier than ever. Not more productive though. My t

Even as someone who holds liberal values I find these kind of studies really suspect, if not completely unethical. "X group is dumber than Y group" studies typically are. It would be incredibly easy to find ways to slant your surv
