Imagine all the flack the Chinese would take if it was one of their labs instead of OpenAI found doing abusing internet resources like tbis. Politicians would be talking about sanctions and new laws to protect America!

Some banks. And requesting a French marriage certificate from abroad. A few years ago I could have done it all on a Linux PC.

Thanks your your feedback. I just retried Zed and yeah, it's much much better than last time I gave it a shot!!! I turned on the review stuff, and yeah I can do more or less what I could in Cursor. Check something. Do a quick inline pr

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. It’s sort of what I do too when I use codex/claude/t3 code, but usually via GUI. The in-editor context review is something that does not seem long for first world. Sadly. Maybe I’ll be forc

Oh. Really? I guess that was not such an advantage after all… still cursor fast models are so much faster than what you get in Claude/codex.

I don’t see how opencode 2 (or 1) addresses any of my concerns. I thought it might avoid rg/grep the code base on every prompt but does not even seem to be the case.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve been trying to cancel my cursor subscription but I always come back. ;)

In the case of TUIs I’m going to assume you review the code externally in neovim or lazy git or something like that? I don’t like relying on GIT for that and making things as good/done as I go. But with these agentic tools that’s what

Will give it a try. Thanks!

Interesting. Will check. Thanks!

I use codex all the time. It’s inferior to cursor for the two reasons mentioned. It rediscovers the world with rg (no indexing). Wall of diff at the end. The GUI slightly better than Claude. And it’s a million times cheaper than Claude.

I do like Zed as an editor and I keep trying it out but the the review what the AI did by jumping directly into the file with accept/reject/go next/next file with the ability to edit in place was nowhere near as good in zed v

Is there some kind of alternative to Cursor in these terms - fast because the code is already indexed no need to start every prompt rediscovering the world with rg - in editor/vscode review much better than relying on git diff at the v

If cars were just invented the EU would pass a mandate to ensure cars can’t have accidents.

The Snapdragon X2 Elite / Extreme are a thing but they lag a bit on the GPU side compared to to Apple. But it’s not setting the PC laptop market on fire, and I’m quite surprised as well… I guess Lunar lake and the few ARM compatibility

Indeed. Matt Pococks skills formalizes this process… (even though it can be excessive)

There’s a world of difference between using AI as an editor vs letting it write a whole essay for you. AI;DR is about the latter.

So a fake ID but using your face? How would they know? Does the US government expose their database to private businesses? I always wondered how these things work. I normally run away from these ID checks. It’s just a matter of time until l

Well Anthropic did not ask for permission before they distilled copyrighted material. At least the Chinese have the decency of giving back the model weights and not put BS censorship because “it’s too dangerous”.

That’s the most puzzling part to me. What’s the point of the PIN then? I was assuming it was mixed with the TPM secret somehow but if it can be bypassed then it shows it just an IF statement somewhere. Dang… God I hate this stupid design of

They are? Nobody writes JavaScript anymore. Everything is Typescript. Even PHP and Python have sort of back ported type annotations. What major language is still purely dynamic these days? I know the whole dynamic vs static typing is an age

Too easy to dunk on the EU. The UK, USA and Australia seem to have reached the same conclusions. In UK all young males now have a VPN rather than do whatever you’re supposed to do to see porn. VPNs went from “nerd talk” to “vpn=porn” in th

Isn’t this “high level rust” idea similar to swift? Everything is ARC. Clones are cheap. But you still have a reasonable sound type system and no garbage collection. I get it. Tooling on swift is meh the further you are from Apple, so I’m n

I think this was explained before. But basically the processing takes so long (over a year) that you are guaranteed to overstay most visas and leaving the US is considered as abandoning your petition for a green card. So you are in this lim
