You generally don't even have to convince it, or at least I don't. I just paste the error into the prompt window, and say "you got blocked, try again", and it'll just say, "Oh, that's because ...", t

I guess we might actually have similar feelings, except, you say "only speed", and "only economics". Only time and only money. As if those aren't two of the most valuable currencies on earth.

> You are pretty fast at jumping at conclusions. Yeah, because I can see some of my own thoughts and experience from a long time ago in your words, and my experience tells me loud and clear that they're outdated and wrong.

OpenAI is what I use most. Sol 5.6 still rejects a few requests a day when I'm working on web apps, but, overall, it's not too bad. I wish it'd auto-resume and try again, instead of waiting for me to intervene, but it'

Web apps are where I have this trouble. Making a web app secure is literally just finding and patching vulnerabilities, instead of finding and exploiting them. You could have the AI "try to make this app secure", find what it pat

Nobody convinced me AI was useful. At this point, nobody could convince me it wasn't - it's like going from whittling stuff out of wood to having a kitted-out fully-manned machine shop. It's clear from your words you lack ex

Or just sounds of nature. I'm out hiking to enjoy this place and experience. It's like I'm enjoying a meal, and some jackass coming along throwing random seasonings on it - fuck off with it.

Sometimes the upside is just being different. I heard about a group of cattle, and one of them was ill, while the others feasted. The feed was tainted, and so only the sick one survived. Though, with ADHD, I think it's definitely mor

High trust doesn't mean you can trust that the people are angels. It means you can trust that they will behave as such. The threat of force is only there for those who otherwise wouldn't. So, either citizens bear force, or they

Clean room might get you past copyrighted code, but surely it won't get you past trademarks or copyrighted artistic work?

Yeah, private practice.

It's really not, for common/minor issues. I use a little cash-pay clinic in a MCOL area and mostly spend <$100, never over $200, per visit. Also, my wife recently had some major dental work done, and it was about $350. All o

In other words, it's not democracy, it's a democratic republic. The democracy is constrained by the constitution.

It's not abysmal. It's generous, compared to other $20/mo plans (besides Cursor) - especially when you count the storage, etc., that they give.

It's beyond common for a model to find holes in its own work, as well. I have an iterative review as the part of all agentic work, and it always finds something to fix, and will sometimes spend hours fixing its own work.

How well does Cursor work with heavily agentic workflows? I usually keep 4+ agents churning, many of them on tasks that take hours or day. I only played with Cursor a bit, but it seemed to want input from me every 10 minutes or so.

I more have an agent that I drive to create features, and then a fleet of agents that turn those ad-hoc implementations into refined, integrated code.

Nope, doesn't work. Doesn't stop you from making it a PWA, though.

How often is it accurate in believing the task is impossible? How many breakthroughs have been prompted with "keep going", "believe in yourself"?

And they invariably should not. Or, should, but, should leave it out until it sucks far less. That's been my experience, anyway. Memories from 100 prompts ago tainting what I'm trying to do right now.

I switched when 4.7 dropped, after over a year on the service. It was an immediate improvement - not even 1 hour before Codex was giving me better results with less effort.

It literally can't be "much worse" than Reddit. Reddit is like 98% unusable without logging in. It can, at worst, be 2% worse than Reddit.
