MangoCoffee··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
It’s the best exit for Cursor. There’s not much of a path for Cursor besides getting acquired. Cursor is a fork of VSCode. How much improvement can you really make? Cursor’s own model is based on a Chinese model. OpenAI and Claude are SOTA for coding. The only selling point for Cursor’s model is that it’s cheap.

This is the best outcome for Cursor.

MangoCoffee··on MiMo Code is now released and open-source
cheap token for the win.

Microsoft github copilot recently changed their billing. i'm on the yearly subscription. GPT-5.4 is now 6x and even previously free model like GPT-5 mini now cost .33x. its only June 11 and my usage is now at 50%.

MangoCoffee··on MiMo-v2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed: 1T model with 1000 tokens per second
Chinese model is good enough and cheap.

i've a Github copilot yearly subscription. Microsoft recently changed their billing to based on token. i'm still getting billed per premium request but GPT 5.4 is now 6x compare to 1x before.

MangoCoffee··on Roughly a quarter of American professionals hit a wall in their careers
two weeks notice when you leave but where's the two weeks notice when they fired you.
MangoCoffee··on OpenRouter raises $113M Series B
middle man? Model providers/hyperscalers -> OpenRouter -> consumers?

coffee farmers -> middle man -> you

MangoCoffee··on Claude Opus 4.8
ChatGPT came out in 2022. Back then it was just a chatbot. Now we have AI agents. What matters is how we use them and how the agents get better. That’s what will move AI forward.
MangoCoffee··on Omarchy Is Not A Distro
by author's logic, is Ubuntu not a distro since its based on Debian? i don't understand what author is trying to say here.
MangoCoffee··on I’ve joined Anthropic
good name recognition for Anthropic mega IPO. everything Anthropic does now is all gear toward its IPO from buying Bun, Stainless, getting big name AI guy to join...etc.
MangoCoffee··on Anthropic acquires Stainless
Frontier AI labs is pivoting to something that can justified their IPO. just like OpenAI shut down other services and pivot more into coding. They want to show profitability before their mega IPO.
MangoCoffee··on Does internet advertising work? (2020)
Why internet advertising won't work? Google and Meta got big based on selling ad online and they have been doing it for 10+ years.
MangoCoffee··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
This is a classic Elon move. He bundled up his company that is, shall we say, crap, into his most valuable company, then tried to hype it up as much as he could. Like when he promised Tesla cars would self drive in X years but it never happened, then pivoted to AI/robots, then re-routed Tesla’s GPUs to xAI, etc.

Cursor might not be the new hotness, but if we believe that agentic coding is the next wave and we’ve gone from asking chatbots to actually using agents for coding, then yes, this move makes sense for Elon to hype up a SpaceX IPO.

MangoCoffee··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
I've subscribed to Jetbrains all product for years. If the agent coding is going to be the next wave. Jetbrains is really behind. Even Microsoft offer better agent coding with VScode and Github copilot cli.
MangoCoffee··on Netflix Prices Went Up Again – I Bought a DVD Player Instead
DVD discs is not good for long term storage. it can get scratch and became unusable. you want a NAS/PC then rip the dvd and use plex or Jellyfin to watch your collection.
MangoCoffee··on Delve removed from Y Combinator
fake it until you make it? at some point this attitudes of Silicon Valley start up will back fire.
MangoCoffee··on Cursor 3
every AI lab have cli for agent coding. you don't need VS Code. if you want coding agent to write code for you just use cli then use any IDE, text editor or whatever you prefer to review, edit or write code.
MangoCoffee··on BYD is seeing a flood of new EV buyers
you got the smartest man on Earth, Mr. Orange telling American to drill drill drill while American is losing its edge on EV.
MangoCoffee··on Cursor Composer 2 is just Kimi K2.5 with RL
cursor copy open source software repack it as closed source and made massive money. i don't want to hear anything on how Chinese is stealing and copying when the west is doing it themselves.
MangoCoffee··on Cursor Composer 2 is just Kimi K2.5 with RL
yup. fully agree. American cry and bitch about Chinese copy and steal their tech then an American company (Cursor) use/steal open source tech from China and everyone is silence.
MangoCoffee··on Astral to Join OpenAI
isn't that's the point of open source software? like when Oracle bought Sun. someone forked mysql and created mariadb.
MangoCoffee··on Meta acquires Moltbook
so much negative comments. it's not your money, why do you care or are people just jealous.
MangoCoffee··on Open source calculator firmware DB48X forbids CA/CO use due to age verification
what a stupid law
MangoCoffee··on A new California law says all operating systems need to have age verification
It's funny that more and more Chinese style laws are being passed in the West.

What's next? Chinese style social credit? You’ll need 800 points to run a sudo command?

Free society? Mass surveillance. The West is becoming more of a nanny state like China every year.

MangoCoffee··on A new California law says all operating systems need to have age verification
How is this good at all for a free society? You are basically making a "what about the children?" argument. its the parent job to protect their children. why should anyone suffer this b.s.?
MangoCoffee··on I’m joining OpenAI
Peter is not a vibe coder. He build/code and sold a company way before LLMs. a lot of comments here seem to so fix on him being a "vibe coder"
MangoCoffee··on I’m joining OpenAI
Openclaw is an open source project. that's the beauty of the Open source. the community can take over and people can fork it. there already many clone of openclaw.
MangoCoffee··on Apple is fighting for TSMC capacity as Nvidia takes center stage
If Apple cares about their chip IPs, it will be very hard to trust Intel given Intel's past behavior with others like AMD.
MangoCoffee··on Apple is fighting for TSMC capacity as Nvidia takes center stage
Does Apple spend R&D on iPhone screens like they do Apple Silicon? What's that got to do with what we're talking about regarding iPhone's core IP (Apple's own chip, the most important IP from Apple)?

MangoCoffee··on Apple is fighting for TSMC capacity as Nvidia takes center stage
Trust comes first. That's why TSMC is a pure play fab. Unless there's something that can 100% guarantee protection for fabless players like Apple, no one will trust Samsung or Intel.

Fabless players' IPs are their entire business.

It'll be hard to trust Intel given Intel's past behavior, especially against AMD.

yield is more important than leading node.
