Buy "Cursor", not "Cursor's IP". This means brand, users, and a shitton of data. And if you combine a shitton of data with a lot of compute, large userbase and good engineers, you have a pretty good chance of doing

This only means the frontier is growing faster than the price is decreasing. It's just the sum of two separate tendencies, and has little predictive value. TBH, I'm ok with this tradeoff - higher capability at slightly higher cost

Max x20 usage is so cheap, that it's pretty obviously subsidized. And the non-interactive usage is the easiest to explode. They could play games with "reasonable use" and whack a mole accounts that are obviously farming it, b

I still don't get how this works. My world image must be pretty off at this point if this kind of thing is possible. A tanker is big, expensive, and not exactly easy to misplace. And for a nation to be able to send this kind of expedit

The advantage of a laptop is exactly that you can easily host it at home, and own everything. I have one - with an UPS also holding the router and fiber optic and an external HDD. I'm actually working right now to version 2.0 which is

It's 100b just to begin - the full bill would be multiples of that. And there are options now.

This is kindof the opposite? Man + AI > either man or AI. I'd say "learn to work with Claude" is the better lesson here.

Poe's law? Can't really tell, with the internet these days. Things are so polarized that people talk from and to their tribe and the message is often understood to be obvious. Anyways, in case you're serious: there is a famou

Yep. And they should also raise their expectations and work on delivering better vibecoded apps. Likely also with automation.

People are very pessimistic here in the comments, but I see no fundamental, long term reason why AI generated code can't be refactored, maintained and tested by AI just as well (or better) than average-quality human generated code. Esp

I don't like using these terms without qualifications, just like socialism means three different things in three different contexts. But saying the Democratic party, with AOC, Bernie Sanders and two decades of progressism is "righ

Which is why you don't do it nilly willy. There are plenty of hard decision in the real world, with real consequences when you guess wrong. But as far as my personal opinion goes, I'd prefer a bit more intervention in the world. W

It's probably just the disconnect between the two sides of american politics. On the right it's justified enough, on the left it doesn't matter what Trump says, the reaction is going to be exactly the same. For example I&#x27

That's... pretty awesome? And I'm pretty sure she did it just for laughs. I also built a listening device to hear what my mom was saying when I wasn't there. But it was too boring to me to actually listen to the conversations

I'm not sure there are many countries that actually have free childcare and free buses. Talk about it, yes. Subsidized to a degree, yes. But pretty much every municipal transport is already heavily subsidized.

It's... a bad article? It takes as given that the tech is here, and it's economically feasible, but it's not giving any arguments. Just blames the people. It's also not exactly defining the problem space. Is it talking a

Yeah, happened to me too. Brief but intense. Strangely, only the first time. When I got out I told the technician (I though I had a panic attack, and was puzzled that it happened at the end of the session), and she said "oh, it was pro

So that's an European thing? huh. We have this in Romania - a couple years back when the war in Ukraine started just as the green deal took effect, the gov started spending like crazy on subsidizing energy. But they did it in a convolu

Considering AI-pornbots are increasing the derivate of the function, they might actually be the right move.

I'm not sure what your "obviously correct choice" here is, given the musk hate, but to me: Option one basically lights a huge pile of money on fire, for a vanity goal. Option two uses a much smaller pile of money to do someth

I wonder: - what's the actual oxygen carrying capacity? If they're up to human trials then I imagine they've already validated this step in animals - can it also scrub CO2? Without doing more research, I'm putting most o

That's an ECMO machine, and it works. It's also cumbersome and expensive. This kind of thing might easily become a standard resuscitation step in first responders.

The security implication here was writing a blog post. You're allowed to use a cheap box cutter even if you work at NASA, as long as you use it to open mail. That's what satisficing means.

Except it kinda was stellar? When the test pad blew up I was absolutely sure we won't be seeing a V3 this year, but they recovered amazingly, with the last V2 test checking pretty much every goal they set for it.
