“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” - Jefferson, 1816.
They really didn't do well with AI integration the past few years. When Cursor was all the rage, JetBrains was pushing their own service whose pricing wasn't transparent and just didn't hold up to SotA. I'd still agree that using Codex or Claude from CLI is a better user experience.
Yet, looks like their revenue is up. Wonder where they're investing.
Tomorrow's FTC perhaps.
When you need to work with the government, the last thing you want is a program limited by a specific set of rules and interfaces. You want a person who understands your (sometimes unique) issue, who knows how things actually work, and can work around the restrictions imposed upon programs. Someone who can pick up a phone, help you out of bureaucratic corners.
For coding specifically, I've found 5.6-Sol > 6.0 Sol > Astra.
For modeling and artwork, Astra has been great routinely outperforming Kimi.
This is reminiscent to me of what Anthropic pulled back in February with their adaptive thinking rollout.
I can't wait for technology to catch up to a point where we can rid ourselves of this oligopoly.
Got it, calendar updated: switch back to Claude on the 29th.
I realize this may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel the FTC should start looking at things like this. If a well funded company can bait the market long enough to drown most everyone else out then double their price overnight (ok, 30 days..) doesn't competition just become a matter of who has the deepest pockets?
re.sub(r'(?is)\b(?:honest|caveat|absolutely right)\b.*', '', text)Besides its following, does Cursor have any sort of moat? It's VS Code with a harness right?
On par with this administration- Goons pulled back because they're murdering innocent civilians at car stops? Chief goon steps up and says "put them back!"
Then he takes to the waves to instill fear and uncertainty in our election process.
Americans are being boiled alive, nice and slow- and a third of them love it!
> My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although the CCP is clearly the most capable threat—
Isn't this article an argument in favor of authoritarianism? Plus a tad hypocritical no? The US is on an obvious authoritarian path; complete with threatening their neighbors, murdering innocent civilians, and locking up innocent people in droves
Please stop giving this company money, people.
And now a regime best known for lying to their own people is the one trying to convince me?
Go, China!
No. They're not the 'correct agency' for anything.
This is about instilling fear, uncertainty and doubt.
A common hiring anecdote we share with people outside tech is literally: “A CS degree doesn’t teach you how to code.”
For me, ~25 years ago in the UC system, it was all math/science/theory-oriented. Some C++/Java that was introduced to get you through all that theory. Learning how to code/actual software engineering comes with practical experience.
"This information is too dangerous for you, so we'll just hold on to it.."
Thanks big brother, super anthropic of you!
The internet of '95 is looking back at us, with tears in its eyes.
I don't expect the damage to be undone within my lifetime.
Can someone please merge crypto with llm training/inference somehow?
The man is _acing_ the multitude of cognitive tests that doctors keep giving him.
I'd lean more towards education than fornication.
No judgement.
Facts cease to exist because you ignore them. I think Huxley wrote that.
Within six months of starting development I had my first customer- who hated my product's bugs, but helped me find and offered ideas for improvements. A year later I was at $30k ARR. That doubled year after year for some time before leveling out. It was enough to live comfortably for ~15 years, but nobody mistook me for wealthy.
No exit opportunities.
I didn't start by dwelling on ideas. Some parity has to come first, then add value. I looked at companies building things of interest to me that I knew to be attainable wrt time and money. I emulated in my own style what they did best, I avoided or improved upon what they did poorly and I shouldered my way into the market. Above all, I listened to my customers and followed their lead.
