angston Reverse Engineering Cursor's LLM Client

Indeed.

Mail to <hi@cursor.com> is replied by “Sam from Cursor” which is “Cursor's AI Support Assistant” and after few back and forth it tells “I'm connecting you with a teammate who can better investigate”. Guess what? It’s been a month and no further communication whatsoever.

I don’t have high hopes for its customer services.

i suppose i can live with this as long as the browser will explicitly ask me to enable that permission they are talking about adding and not just silently deny it...

angston Gemma 3n preview: Mobile-first AI

tried out google/gemma-3n-E4B-it-litert-preview on galaxy s25 ultra

loads pretty fast. starts to reply near-instant (text chat mode).

doesn't answer questions like "when is your cutoff date"

apparently answers "may 15 2024" as today date so probably explains why it answered joe biden as answer to who is US president

angston Hacking GitHub's Auth with Unicode's Turkish Dotless 'I'

  >'ß'.toLowerCase() // 'ss'
  "ß"
  >'ß'.toLowerCase() === 'SS'.toLowerCase() // true
  false
  >// Note the Turkish dotless i
  >'John@Gıthub.com'.toUpperCase() === 
  'John@Github.com'.toUpperCase()
  true

Chrome 79.0.3945.79 (Windows, 64bit) seems to differ from the proposed results for the first two statements. If the proposed results are what should indeed happen by unicode standard then I wonder chrome is not fully implementing them?

angston Programming Fonts – Test Drive

Fira Mono link seems to be no longer served(redirects to general style guides page). Maybe you could link https://github.com/mozilla/Fira instead?

angston Warp – self-contained, single binary applications

I hope it can use downloaded executable for warp-runner. Downloading executable from windows console doesn't work too well in my corporate environment. Currently placing windows-x64.warp-runner.exe to same directory as warp-packer doesn't help. I really like the idea though. Simplest 3rd party solution I've encountered so far for the purpose.
