Isn’t it against the law in many places to charge customers without providing a breakdown of what they’re being charged with?

you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that’s “too similar” to their proprietary code.

Doubt it. The incentives don’t align. They benefit from open source much more than are threatened by it. Even that “embrace, extent, extinguish” idea comes from different times and it’s likely less profitable than the vendor lock-in and other modern practices that are actually in place today. Even the copyright argument is something that could easily backfire if they just throw it in a case, because of all this questionable AI training.

Even if you’re into AI coding, I never understood the hype around cursor. In the beginning, they were just 3 months ahead of alternatives. Today you can’t even say that anymore and they’re still “worth” billions. You can get a similar prediction quality from other editors if you know how to use them, paying a fraction of the price.

Cursor also chugs on tokens like a 1978 Lincoln Continental, that’s how they get marginally better results, so bringing your API is not even a viable option. The first time I tried it, I asked a simple 1-line edit on a markdown and it sent out 20k tokens before I could say “AGI is 6 months away”, and it still got the change wrong.

call me a racoon then

maybe he calls his net worth “cognition”

it works!!!

I miss start menu ads, intrusive bing searches, copilot upselling, MSN news, and uninstallable things I’ll never use on my PC like Xbox.

the main reason I started installing more “-bin” variants of packages

I had purchased it several years ago, but this is at least the 3rd concerning headline in the past 3 years. If you’re still on that boat, jump ship.

not making illegal and support from the national health service are vastly different things. 15% is a disastrous rate for public health.

I disagree. What I could hack over a weekend starting a project, I can do in a couple hours with AI, because starting a project is where the typing bottleneck is, due to all of the boilerplate. I can’t type faster than an LLM.

Also, because there are hundreds of similar projects out there and I won’t get to the parts that make mine unique in a weekend, that’s the perfect use case for “vibe coding”.

what are sections, chapters, indices? Who’s the librarian?

we don’t need to go all the way into a metaphor

you haven’t seen my frontend code

potentially relevant: paperless recently merged some opt-in LLM features, like chatting with documents and automated title generation based on the OCR context extracted.

A Nobel Peace Prize can also never be revoked. The decision is final and applies for all time.

yeah, it’d be hilarious if the committee decided to withdraw her prize, even if just symbolically.
