You've mistaken the subject for the target. The subject of the derision is advanced technology, the target is Tesla promising what they're incapable of delivering.
Yeah everyone knows we're in a class war, you're not profound. This administration is still unique in it's levels of corruption and reality distortion.
The baseline, out-of-the-box basic tool level will lift, but so will the more obscure esoteric high-level tools that the better programmers will learn to control, further separating themselves in ability from the people who wait for the lowest common denominator to do their job for them.
Feel free to waste your time sifting through a dozen wrong answers. Meanwhile the rest of us can get the answers, absorb the right information quickly then move on to solving more problems.
There's a balance to be calculated each time you're presented with the option. It's difficult to predict how much iteration the agent is going to require, how frustrating it might end up being, all the while you lose grip on the code being your own and your head-model of it, vs just going in and doing it and knowing exactly what's going on and simply asking it questions if any unknowns arise. Sometimes it's easier to just not even make the decision, so you disregard firing up the agent in a blink.
The first use case I found relevant and useful was the Supabase MCP server, allowing Cursor's agent to query my Supabase project. It meant no longer describing my database to Cursor, it could simply go and get the information it needed, as needed.
Building immunity via vaccines rather than naturally deprives the living virus a potential host to evolve in. It also means you don't have to contract the virus in order to build immunity, meaning the first time you get the virus, a vaccinated person's body would be more prepared, which means more people could more contract the disease at once, without collapsing the health system - allowing it to be safer at the community level to free up movement. I just think you misunderstood the reasoning, you weren't being "lied to".
I agree about one person or organisation too much power, and fear the potential for abuse, but the problem in the Iran example are the theocratic laws, not really the tools that help enforce them. Good behaviour is already defined by each nation's legislation.
Yes, his decision making is sound, and comes with a huge weight of experience and understanding of how the world works. His ability to communicate effectively has diminished, but not his ability to assess facts and make effective determinations.
I'll enjoy that a hell of a lot more than I'll enjoy doing the same thing on bullshit vanilla code I scratched together myself under the pressure of a deadline, lol.
No one is afraid of writing code, we're afraid of maintaining code, and solving tedious and repetitive problems that already have solutions. Frameworks abstract complexity, which in practical terms decreases the complexity I personally have to deal with, and shifts the complexity to the minds of a team of open-source developers who support the framework or library in parallel. Abstraction is exactly how we push the industry forward, not by building less, more basic, and shittier applications in a some faux-noble quest to use inline event handlers.
It takes more hubris to believe, as cosmic blips, that we have no responsibility to mitigate our outsized effect on the long-term direction on the ecology of the planet.
What makes you say "isn't working"? VR and the Metaverse are long term bets, they're not meant to be working yet. Far too early to write off as failures.
