People use agents to deploy sites all the time. Buying a domain is part of that if you want to build a site that's beyond a toy. Allowing agents to do a task isn't just for things you do every day – it's also for things you d

I'm not sure the fact that somebody is already rich rich would make them less likely to perform ethically dubious practices to juice their own compensation. In fact I'd say the opposite is more likely.

No, they've clearly put a lot of work into alignment. It's just that they've been trying to align it with Elon Musk rather than Amanda Askell. Unfortunately the more anti-woke they try to make it, the worse it seems to perfor

Git itself is already federated. Every clone is a repo. That's not the bit that needs fixing.

Maybe the play here is a way to sneak sneak Grok into enterprise by calling it Cursor. Or they'll just give up on it and run Cursor's fine-tuned Kimi on Colossus.

Turns out that benchmaxxing doesn't help if it's not very good when people actually try it.

What services could SpaceX possibly be buying from Cursor that would cost $8bn?

I find Mermaid diagram rendering is quite ugly by default. I've gotten much better-looking results by asking it to just generate SVGs. As a bonus it can do animations too. e.g. see slide 3 here, which I first tried with Mermaid and the

I haven't seen them do this at all. They've said that they use AI tools when writing code, because most devs do, and they've previewed Attie, their codegen for custom feeds thing, which is a separate tool. None of that is att

The interesting part is that you can use the same API with Workers AI models (hosted at the edge) and proxied models (OpenRouter-style). Disclaimer: I work at Cloudflare, but not on this.

When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s we'd go on holiday in mid Wales, and I remember it being a big thing that it was the home of some of the last few red kites in the UK. Now I see dozens of them most times I drive around the south of

You may joke, but this is a genuine issue in certain screening tests. e.g. most cancerous cells found in PSA prostate screening are so slow growing that they never cause any symptoms during a person's lifetime, so the treatment is almo

It's more like finding a way to shut down the engine but only if there was a movie in the entertainment system than was longer than 5 hours. You can't exploit it now, and probably never will, but it's a risk that's sitti

Why hasn't it then? The Linux kernel must be asking the most heavily-audited pieces of software in existence, and yet these bugs were still there.

It runs each sandboxed plugin inside its own dynamic worker, with a separate bridge worker to enforce permissions. The worker only has access to its permitted APIs.

I'm the main engineer on this. I've also been on the Astro core team for two years, so I do think I understand real open source software and community. As the post implies, I did use a lot of agent time on this, but this isn'

Not for alcohol measures. Beer and cider have to be sold in pints, and there is a list of allowed sizes used for other drinks. Also the size of the standard measure used for spirits needs to be displayed on a sign at the bar.

Beer and cider are the only drinks that are legally not sold by metric volume in the UK. They have to be served by the pint, 2/3, 1/2 or 1/3. Every other drink has to use metric.

That's like asking "why would you use Swing when you can use Graphics2D". Sometimes you want something higher level. The DOM is great and very powerful, but when you're building a highly interactive web app you don'

Maybe in the US, but not elsewhere. EVs are still very much in the ascendant in the rest of the world.

More importantly it's one of the richest countries in the world, and has high taxes but big tax breaks for EVs.
