This article makes no sense. First, it claims that the Strait is in Omani water, then says it's both Iran's and Oman's. (Oman has a tiny bit of coastline in the area; Iran is enormous.) But most absurd is the idea that Iran c

Yes, it's a very different environment from the state-run Yugo company that was a product of socialism and never could compete successfully in the market. That's not the situation for Mr. Bezos.

It seems unlikely they'll be like the Yugo. That car was produced in a low quality factory. This is a modern product from Jeff Bezos that has fewer parts, not just cheap, poorly made parts. Yugo was Yugoslavia's only car manufactu

As we used to say in the car business, "it comes with a heater and paint." In this case, not even paint, but you can buy decals and wraps.

Many people will be pleased to have a vehicle with no communication, sensor, or surveillance systems. It's hard to estimate how important that might be now that all other cars force them on everyone.

People in Texas have driven to El Paso to buy Chinese EVs from Juárez, México just over the border and politicians here are trying to explicitly outlaw that, too.

No cetacean should live in captivity, period. This transport "issue" just shows why we have no business transporting them in the first place. For reference, the CNN documentary Blackfish is a good place to start.

What I meant was that all political and economic decisions here go in favor of oil. The war, the proposed laws to make Chinese EVs illegal, the softening of environmental regulations, etc. Chevron and the US Government are joined at the hip

Mostly it says that the oil business runs the show here in Texas, and in Washington.

I'll take the bait. There are now three kinds of apps. The old kind, big standardized ones where the same kinds of customers buy the same kinds of app, like Spotify or Oracle. Then there are the new DIY apps made with AI. These are for

I would try it for you as I'm an avid user of Letterboxd[0], but that service has a website and also an Android app, and I'd need one of those. [0] https://letterboxd.com/garranplum/

This is an interesting take, especially in the age of AI. I'm squarely in Tribe C, the one that thinks software is interface and exists primarily to do things people want, making other considerations secondary.

Those people aren't the customer. This is a tool for professional devs who know what to expect from each model. They got their customers by being what they are. It doesn't make any sense that they would throw that all away to poin

No, because the purpose of the product is to act as an agent harness and to dispatch tasks to the correct agent at the correct time. Messing that up would make it an entirely different kind of product, and not one that people want.

Cursor is a harness for all models, and many (most?) Cursor users choose Claude models for their software engineering work.

That's why it was a warning, a warning to him to not use terms like that. It's strange you'd view that as me needing the warning, but fair enough.

This appears to be written by someone who isn't a Cursor user. That product does not silently switch models under the hood. The user is able to see and choose the model for any prompt before it is submitted. What Cursor does do under

I hear you, Dan, but it isn't a personal attack. It's illustrative of the fact that when we assign human attributes like ethnicity to an AI that the results lead to bigotry and misunderstanding. My statement was made prior to any

Don't give away all our secrets, lol! Truth be told, I bet a lot of English speakers rely on this system to deal with uncommon words all the time.

I still think apps like this undermine your goal, and I say that as both an AI booster and lover of multiculturalism. If we're going to improve humanity by being pluralistic and open to understanding other cultures, that must come

Just FYI, use Firefox Focus in privacy mode (can be made permanent) and it's not "uber" at all. You're a new visitor every time.

Cursor is a harness that can be used with all kinds of models. It's a much better harness than anyone else's and takes the company out of just playing the model game.

IPTV is amazing and this article about apps for TV boxes (from a paid service) does have some useful info, but another angle for IPTV is just watching for free directly from your browser. I built a site for that called TV Explorer which got

Overpriced tech is something I love, not complain about lol! I've managed to not buy that $600 Casio calculator made with hand-worked lacquer mostly because it's sold out, not because I didn't want one.

To my mind, that's evidence of China's long and effective history of copying innovation and scaling it up. That process is agnostic as to the source of the invention. If someone else had popularized electric cars, China would stil
