It is possible to use Cursor via ACP, so you can use it in any editor that supports ACP (notably the JetBrains IDEs). Our company went all in with Cursor and at the same time centrally disabled the AI functionality of JetBrains IDEs, but a

The hype already starts with the SpaceX SEC filing. According to it, its addressable market is $28.5 trillion, of which $26.5 trillion are AI. This means that every human being who owns a computer on this planet (1.75 billion) would need to

Well yeah, it looks like a Motorola, and the Motorola flip phones looked like the Star Trek TOS communicators (which they acknowledged by calling their first flip phone the "StarTAC"). And the article also references Star Trek. Su

Yeah, before we worry about a "coming intelligence explosion", we should first try to avoid a stupidity explosion...

The title sounds a bit like a catch-22: ok, rewrites are now cheap, but rewrites have to be reviewed too?

I don't get them on desktop either, but on the mobile app they're very hard to avoid. Seems like YouTube doesn't want to be YouTube anymore, it wants to morph into TikTok. We don't need more TikToks, having one TikTok is

I only saw his previous video on the Reevo that he now fixed ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPe3cY3oeu4 - just in case YouTube doesn't list it under suggested videos when you watch this one) and it was hilarious.

My first reaction to the title was "how can a mountain be controversial?!", and, even after reading the article, the title still sounds wrong to me. I mean, a mountain is a mountain, it just... exists in a very undisputable way.

Yes. What Elon did with DOGE (including but not limited to destroying USAID) may have been stupid and barely saved any money at all if you look at it as a percentage of the total budget, but it had very real consequences for real people. Bu

Or hurting Anthropic without calling it that? Knowing that Anthropic has clashed with the current administration in the past ( https://www.npr.org/2026/02/24/nx-s1-5725327/pentagon-anthro... ), and knowing

Are switching PSUs more expensive to produce than linear ones? Because, if you think about it, they took several decades to move from higher-end to lower-end products: my Atari 800XE (the third generation of the Atari 800, introduced 1985,

The catch is just that if you lack the capacity to estimate how much computing power [task in brackets] might need, and your agent can autonomously create AWS instances, that might have bad consequences for you (or your bank account).

In my experience, for every customer support agent that really wants to help people and cares about their problems, there are at least ten who don't even read what you wrote and answer with prefabricated blocks of text that have little

Part of the problem is that it wasn't possible to upload it to YouTube until recently (and someone from Germany could still demand for it to be taken down or made unavailable in Germany), while also, being almost 100 years old, it was

Animation isn't just hand-drawn animation, it's any kind of movie composed from individual still images. And stop-motion animation is a subcategory of that, no matter if you use clay/putty (like in Wallace & Gromit), Lego

> LLMs lift the barrier of entry for Rust programming I think you actually meant "lower the barrier" (which would make it easier to pass the barrier, while lifting it makes it harder)?

It's also interesting that, while the "ally" curve is going down for all included countries, in some countries the "partner" (which is a weaker form of ally) curve is going up to partly compensate for that, while in

This is taking a lot of inspiration from Doom, but the actual raycasting engine is more like Doom's predecessors, the most well-known of which is probably Wolfenstein 3D: perpendicular walls, constant floor and ceiling height. Wolf3D d

Either it's a misconfiguration, or it's intentional (only providing a "bare-bones" machine for the lowest price level, even if the underlying hardware would support more)?

Ok, then it will be an explosion of binary size, if you have several code blocks optimized for each architecture level - I'm not very familiar with the subject, but I imagine it would have to be relatively large chunks of code, otherwi

You're partly right. But OTOH, China is (pretty successfully) developing its own AI solutions, and even the (former?) US allies in Europe, America and Asia have become painfully aware that they are dependent on a hostile US administrat

Maybe because it is AI generated? Not sure if it's true, but I had the same feeling. Also, it reads like someone seeing a good old city map for the first time: "Rather than artistic relief shading seen in earlier maps, this styl
