Cursor + Gemini is rather good.

My hypothesis is that the greenfield projects make it easier to learn AI. I find it pretty easy to get value out of Cursor on 500k LOC legacy code bases, but I've also spent a few hundred hours on green field projects.

At a tech company of >1k engineers, this gets audited regularly by a dedicated data retention team.

Cursor+Gemini MAX is pretty good these days. It seems like Claude Code and C+GM leapfrog each other every month or two. Cursor has a lot of potential leverage owning the developer and the training data streams and commoditizing the underly

Writing has made people worse at memorization. This argument has been around since Plato.

What is this 1T index technique they seem so hyped about?

Once that auto-regressive model goes deep enough (or uses "reasoning"), it actually has modeled what possibilities exist by the time it's said "There are 2 possibilities.." We're long past that point of model c

If Trump believes that, it would reflect a complete lack of self-confidence in his negotiating skills.

Maybe you've discovered that learning pays compound interest.

AIs today basically fail because they've been trained to be aggressive editors of code. This makes the first steps feel amazing, gives you the most out of your first tokens, and helps win the evals focused on coding simple-to-moderate

Hypothetically, yes. Practically, after having built ~10 small apps in a unified framework with Cursor and Claude Code, it doesn't seem true with today's AI.

AI is killing e.g. React Server Components and Svelte, but for different reasons. Vibe coding doesn't care about the implementation details, so Svelte is dead. A unified codebase might be better for humans. But a FE/BE database i

The community seems rather divided as to whether these are intrinsic, or we solve these with today's tech, and more training, heuristics and workarounds.

Are you able to add 3-5 customers per month at the 25/mo level? If so there's a chance. If that many customers are signing up with just you and minimal marketing, you could probably 10x that with channel partners, then start wor

I'd put a $1k long bet that a 3B param model, cleverly orchestrated, will achieve AGI* in the next ten years. These are the sorts of ideas that would help get us there. Any takers? *AGI defined as smarter than a FAANG staff engineer o

Nuclear materials have the advantages of being rare, dangerous to handle, and hard to copy over the internet.

What's the difference between a city park and e.g. the hundreds of miles of trails and national forest behind my house? Somehow that manages to be crime-free despite less usage. Would love a theory of how density works in your model.

A background thread long polls the CDN, updating a local hashmap on change.

by fizx 2y ago
The scale is easy in practice, cause you outsource to a CDN. But everything takes time and has opportunity cost.

If I was a bootstrapped startup, I'd do a json file and then when I've outgrown, I'd hand write something that long-polls a CDN for updates, with a tiny rails or react app behind the CDN. But these approaches are insane for c

You're not getting new high-quality textual data for pre-training from your chat service. But you are potentially getting a lot of RL feedback on ambiguous problems.

The problem isn't that criminals can use your service, its that the service provider really doesn't want to be liable for that happening, which generally only happens when you host illegal content.
