I think it’s a lot less exhausting now that the IDE part is mostly decoupled. I can’t imagine cursor continuing to compete when really all they’re doing is selling tokens either a markup, and hence crushing your context on every call. Sorry

Sorry to be that guy, but think there's a decent chance that the people who make possibly the most complicated technology in human history save for the LHC or LIGO _might_ have done some thinking we can't wrap our heads around.

EDIT: I think the below is correct, but I’ve just seen in the main product landing page that for a certain benchmark it’s an order of magnitude cheaper AND faster than AWS glue, so that’s the target market by the looks of things. —— I don’t

I usually agree with this, but I make an exception for Pudding because they consistently do this and it’s kind of their brand to have really immersive JS art/media. But I have the benefit of having read and enjoyed their stuff before.

Google basically invented modern AI (the 'T' in ChatGPT stands for Transformer), then took a very broad view of how to apply broadly neural AI - AlphaGo, AlphaGenome being the kind of non-LLM stuff they've done). A better way

This is a great resource. I just think the term “landlord” is a misnomer here. It implies you’ll be making income off the rent of your new self-administered infra, and as has been pointed out already - mostly this site pertains to stuff bui

I would have liked to have seen the underlying token count, and the full responses as an optional filter. My understanding is that under the hood the GPT-5 response (as well as omitted O model responses) would end with the presented outpu

I think it’s fundamentally about context management and business model. Claude Code is expensive because it will happily put very large volumes into context because Anthropic are paid by the token. Cursor makes the bet that it can pay less

Love this! I think SVG is super underrated, particularly in the age of diffusion based image generation. I’ve written briefly about it here: https://rorads.github.io/technical/quick-ai-reflection-on-sv...

I appreciate the dedication to minimal performant code. For me a standard Jekyll setup with a theme and github pages is absolutely fine. It's slow and a bit annoying sometimes but it's very straightforward markdown to html and com

I genuinely feel that these two books, and the audiobooks even more so, are full blown genius. The character has been steeping in his own mythology and metatext for decades, and these books use that to such a wonderful effect. I think they

They've absolutely blown Meta out of the water on their value proposition. They've started with: here's how you would use this device to round off all the rough edges of work / travel / productivity etc. Whereas Met

Looks good! I’ll certainly give it a try. Just FYI, the layout in the “deployment” box near the bottom of the splash page is very shrunken on iPhone - so narrow that there’s basically one character width.

Good retrospective on the inflection point for this cohort of digital media in the generally excellent Odd Lots podcast recently (Search “End of an Era for Digital Media). Their conclusion on Vice was that it was never in the same league as
