Cursor was pretty amazing until it started going to shit. High prices, UI changes, moving MCP settings, and moving other things around. Most importantly was the Index change. It was a very unique thing to Cursor that you could use .cursorig

Interesting topic. I configured an account for someone with an Asian last name and it chose the fortune cookie. Probably not voodoo, but it never seemed 100% random. More like some correlation was being done.

Probably off-topic. Astra has been kind of weird. Like, I can't trust it, weird. It has an interesting tone, especially in Codex, that is off-putting. It's over zealous at times (which is why I stopped using Claude) and gets too c

What does Ultra offer in this context? Better code? Or is the problem being solved extremely complicated that requires Ultra?

I don’t know why people forget that Microsoft is almost entirely outsourced to India. It’s the reason there is no coherent product or vision for anything at Microsoft. If you put together an amazing team, in the same building, with the goal

If you can't see those points, you need to take several deep breaths.

Thanks. This is genuinely a cool usage example. How did you run this? Web interface, desktop app, CLI? How did you complete the final transaction?

Most likely died of smallpox... Great, let's bring back smallpox and measles because the US elected officials are too dumb or genuinely want to destroy the world.

This is like UAE and North Korea behavior. If you have to spy on these particular groups then you know you’re doing something wrong.

What would be considered “top-notch” or “top-tier”? Something never found?

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! So cool and impressive. Very well made.

All good points. However, it's not a safe assumption that everyone operates that way. People probably use the flagship models because that's what they know. Sure, some probably just use the default, in this case Grok. Also, it&#x2

I guess I’m on the right track. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49428835 If Claude pulls away from Cursor as well then Cursor is basically done.

Great point. One political side hurts itself by thinking too much and disagreeing internally, while the other side benefits from blind loyalty. Very true, because the republicans always get out and vote. The democrats need to do the same, i

Obviously you are correct. It's a great exit for Cursor and an amazing success story. I didn't share any thoughts on that topic. What I did say is the product will eventually go to absolute shit, which is a shame.

It’s a sound theory and would make logical sense. It’s based on how we would hope people would react to such things and actually vote based on what they believe in. However, that’s a very small minority. In reality, most people don’t think

Some of the poorest people voted for Trump. He returned the favor by making their life hell. Yes, America is deeply unwell. You also have a lot of people with really odd ideals and a lack of common sense. For example, you could have a brill

I predict Cursor will be dead in a year. Cursor was/is amazing and it made sense to acquire it. I’m sure many organizations like SpaceX were using it and its revenue only had an upward trajectory. However, it’s been getting worse every

I'm not a cost expert for all the models. My usage is low enough not worry about it. However, I noticed today how expensive GPT 5.5 is. I realized GPT 5.6 was already cheaper before the price reduction and it's the newest model. I

I don’t know how they can account for a drone randomly failing and dropping out of the sky? It’s not a matter if it’s going to happen, but a matter of when it happens. What happens if it landing on a car while someone is driving? What happe

It’s unfortunate I had the same thoughts right away. Are they going to look at and steal all my data.

It's bad karma to sling mud about outages or problems. Cloudflare used to sling mud back in the day and then they went through some really bad outages afterwards.

It’s not unusual to feel this way right now. The world is arguably in an interesting state. One thing to keep in mind is the world probably felt this way a few times as well. During the Vietnam War and the administration at the time probabl

Most importantly, are you seeing a return on investment for time and ultimate outcome? No one can judge the enjoyment, learning, and hobby aspects. Just wondering if there is an end goal for that much overall expenditure (time, money, energ

Interesting the use of Max and Ultra. I don’t doubt the complexity, but would someone use Max or Ultra on Typescript or Go, for example? Is it more about just avoiding any mistakes? Seems like that would be costly when medium or high would
