I agree, I think this is a conversation we need to be having with a focus on reallocating most of the money currently spent on police back to community infrastructure.

I know "defund the police" brings extreme ire from the neo-liberals to the conservatives in the US, but I don't know how you can look at this, and think anything else. These guys are decked out in fully blown war paraphernali

There's probably some holes in the analogy is you stretch it far enough. I'm hoping to "win" as a user by local models hitting a performance breakthrough and not needing any of these companies. I think the OP was general

I think "winning" means being able to live up to their valuations. The market is not big enough for all of these companies to be worth as much as they claim. In that sense they must "win" or experience massive downward a

That's horrific and the saddest thing I've read in a really long time. I'm glad I erased my Twitter account and I'm definitely not using this code host. Seriously, this is horrible.

> We'll see if they want Cursor Origin or the declining GitHub. I don't want either tbh. There's plenty of open source alternatives. If there's anyone I trust less than Microsoft, it's Elon Musk.

I would never host my code with Elon Musk. I've also moved on from using Cursor to Claude Code/Codex. GitHub has problems, but this is likely (and hopefully) DOA.

I’m more concerned that this will negatively impact code generation. An additional constraint completely unrelated to code quality is unacceptable as far as I’m concerned. I was an Anthropic user but now I’m looking at OpenAI or even better

GitHub is pretty tiny compared to something like YouTube and Instagram. Both of which have much better uptime.

I mean, that’s what they say but it doesn’t pass the sniff test. Which other major service struggles so much with basic scaling? They’re not serving streaming video, they’re not a real-time system. Any problems scaling should have been fixe

Services like Facebook have orders of magnitude more activity than GitHub and manage much better uptime.

Well, they’re a critical piece of infrastructure with terrible stability. I’m in the process of migrating us off GitHub now. I’m not a Meta fan but it’s interesting that they manage to keep their systems up with an order of magnitude more t

There’s homeless people everywhere in the US. They definitely have chronic hunger, extreme poverty and no support. We also have one of, if not the largest prison population in the world.

I feel very little of this prompt is going to help the model write better code and most of it will actively work against that goal. Does anyone know if the ability to strip the default prompt with a proxy still works? https://doc

It's not anti-Jewish hate, it's actually Zionist propaganda (the claim that Zionism is older than Hertzl).

Oh, it's an actual wasteland too! Again, have you ever been to the US? Outside of our few Disneyland style cities, you're going to get nothing but Applebee's, freeways and obese people hooked on fentanyl. It's truly post

I think you’re confusing geospatial happenstance with religion. No, I don’t like living in a culture that believes a guy came back from the dead. Especially when it’s enriched via colonization. I don’t “have it good”, I literally live in an

I actually don't mean to bag on the author, but I think my complaint is valid. Maybe if they had a note right next to the curl command that said "This installs a single bun bundled executable. Here's a link to the GitHub rele
