Agree, I recently started using Zed as my primary IDE, with Cursor as my secondary when I need an llm to write a lot code. I really prefer the less hard in approach of Zed so far. I’ve intentionally not enabled any of the Ai add-on / free trial Claude stuff to keep Zed less intrusive.

Btw - I try to always check in and have a clean slate before I get Cursor involved, that way if it goes nuts rewriting stuff or flat out fails at the task I can easily discard the change.

Maybe so, but we’re teaching it these kinds of lines of thinking. And whether or not it creates these thoughts independently and creatively on its own, over the long lifetime of the systems we are the ones introducing dangerous data sets that could eventually cause us as a species harm. Again, I understand that fiction is just fiction, but if that’s the model that these are being trained off of intentionally or otherwise, then that is the model that they will pursue in the future.

None of this fits losing a lifelong friend that lives in another state now, which is what happened to me after having kids recently.

I suspect in my scenario it was his lack of having kids and the ability to do so (they are not able to have kids). Best I can tell is it was painful for him to see / hear about my life with kids now.

Because our relationship had become long distance it mostly centered around long phone calls or gaming / vr sessions together ever month or so. I basically stopped trying to schedule these interactions because it became clear it was having such a negative impact on his emotions. I initially tried to avoid talking at all about kids and all that but it didn’t seem to help the situation.

Anyway that’s what I just went through and at this point I don’t know if we’ll ever connect again, it’s been 6 months since we exchanged emails, which used to be daily / multiple exchanges a week.

If I move off Cursor, it's def not going to be to another vs-code derivative. Zed has it right - build it from the ground up, otherwise, MS is going to kneecap you at some point.

Thx for posting this I never ran across it before. I too played the original when it came out and actually wrote to Atari after I found the invisible dot and the hidden room / Easter egg. They wrote me back and told me I was one of the first people to find / report it to them which was kind of an honor for my eight-year-old self. I wish I kept that letter lol

Kevin O’Leary, Aka Mr Wonderful, has appeared on CNN a number of times defending tariffs.

Maybe they need to evoke a sort of sleep so they can clear these out while dreaming, sorta like if humans don’t sleep enough hallucination start penetrating waking life…

Very similar to my favorite trip toy of the 90s… rock ‘star’ Todd Rundgren’s Flowfazer. Quite mesmerizing for toddlers, too.

That’s exactly what Zen Browser is - Arc but off a fork of FF.

Has anyone tried limiting Cursor or Cline, etc, to a higher level role such as analysis and outlining proposed changes, and then coding those changes yourself with minimal LLM interaction? Aka, ask to define / outline only a high level set of changes, but do no actual changes to any file; then proceed through the outlined work, limiting Cursor to roughing out the work and hand writing the actual critical bits? That’s the approach I’ve been taking, a sort of best of both worlds that greatly speeds me up without taking the hands 100% off the wheel.

I wonder what these comments would look like if this deal happened 2-3 years ago by Joe Biden.

Oh, how dare you praise Musk indirectly! Haven't you heard, that's forbidden on HN now.

Has anyone actually watched the entire conversation and not just the clip near the end?

I encourage everyone to do so:

Fill video is worth watching:

How are Arc and / or Brave not truly independent? I’d really like to know, TY.

Cronenberg’s best film after Videodrome is Existenz; it’s not as we’ll know as The Fly which has always puzzled me.

I wish I was that talented, esp musically.

These comments are embarrassing. It’s a landmark album and being recognized as such by critics and us lifelong hardcore music fans. You see it’s not for any of you, or rather very few. It’s a sort of love letter to me and my ilk, aka those of us that started collecting records when we were teens and went on to own indie record stores in the 80/90s and early 2000 before most of them were shuttered. There are hints of Spacemen 3, Velvet Underground, hell even some more obscure nods to forgotten bands like Boo Radley, Crime and The City Solution and many many more. If you are not steeped in musical experience this record will not land with you. But for me and about 6 of my oldest collector friends (all in our 50s now) this is a towering achievement by a single person that wrote nearly every note on the record. On top of all that there is the utterly brilliant GeoCities website with its decidedly Twin Peaks vibe and oh so much fun to blade runner zoom around. Brilliance like this shines only a few times in life and us ex NeptureRecords and Play It Again forgotten staff and friends of those great record stores are having the time of our lives listening to the entries 2+ hours daily.

Have you looked into this and the facts around everything you just mentioned or are you going with the headlines you’ve read and other online talking points?

Each there own, comes down to believing he’s not a lying POS like virtually all other politicians. Listening to him, yeah hard to not hear how driven he is for real change. My 2 cents anyway but I respect your opinion even if I don’t agree with it.

No problem here you go, an entire book - backed by facts - that all but prove his case:

https://www.amazon.com/JFK-Unspeakable-Why-Died-Matters/dp/1...

Right and he wrote a whole book on it and cited facts with multiple papers backing up his claims.

And ask yourself this - how is it that that book is still sold if it’s all bullshit?

That was one of the many things bouncing around the back of my head as I smugly dismissed him until I watched the Lex Fridman podcast.

Look, I used to think exactly like everybody on hacker news, until I actually listen to the man. Do I agree with everything he says, no, but pretty close… And if you take the time to actually listen to him, you’ll find that he’s pretty reasonable on every single topic. And he’s willing to change his position if anybody can refute and/or provide actual evidence to do so. No one has.

This is why no one will debate him either by the way, isn’t that a little curious? A.k.a. nobody from the virology community. Because they simply can’t refute him based on actual science and facts.

Seriously go listen to rfk on Lex Fridman, if you don’t, then you will never really know the truth will you? And I personally prefer the Lex Fridman podcast but he’s been on Joe Rogan and numerous other podcasts over the last few weeks and truthfully they’re all excellent.

Right and if you actually listen to what he says, and understand history, we promised Russia we would never move an inch closer to them, and we have repeatedly sone so since making that promise in the early 90s.

We also place aegis missile systems near their border, which allows us to strike at the heart of Russia within 12 minutes.

This is nearly identical to what Russia pulled on us in the Cuban missile crisis, we would not of tolerated that, nor should we and that’s why we nearly invaded Cuba.

We did the same thing to them in the Ukraine, and if you don’t think that provoke them to react, then you simply don’t know history.

Watch the Lex Fridman podcast on July 4th, 2023. 2+ hours of thoughtful dialog.

You’ll learn everything he believes from his own words which is something very many people prefer we don’t do.

Simply not true, feel free to back up your baseless claim with a link to him speaking gibberish. You won’t find one even going back 15 years or more.

You’re either misinformed or willfully lying.

Ask yourself a simple question - do you really know what RFK Jr stands for, or are you basing your comment on the headlines designed to silence him?

Here are just a few facts about his platform and what he believes that blew me away.

- Will pardon Assange day 1

- Will pardon Snowden day 1

- End the war in Ukraine by brokering a peace deal ASAP, and prevent the 'forever war' from continuing (there or elsewhere).

- Create an executive order to roll back Citizen United, as soon as possible (the ruling that made it so corporations are ‘people’ and that opened up unlimited donations).

- Create an executive order to roll back the pharmaceutical act from 1997 which destroyed our free press.

- RFK Jr is fully vaccinated excluding COVID, as are all 7 of his children some of which chose to get the COVID vaccine, which he left to each to decide); his stance is simply to test vaccines the same way non-vaccine medicines are tested.

- Clean house at the CIA, FBI, NIH, FDA, and virtually all federal branches that are no longer serving us, but the companies that donate massive sums of money to them.

- Decrim both weed and hallucinogens

- Stop further infringement on our 1st Amendment rights (worth watching, last week's subcommittee meeting 'Weaponizing the Government' censorship hearing in which they tried to censor RFK from speaking at all, and then during his own party members tried to censor him by calling for an Executive Meeting, which would have made the hearing private and televised).

Lastly, he has sued Monsanto multiple times and won.

'History has shown us that the people censoring are never the good guys' - RFK Jr.

I still think Baldur’s Gate:Dark Alliance is the best of those old dungeon crawlers, way more replayable.

The legalization of pharmaceutical advertisement in 1997 was the start of the corruption of our news. If you pay attention to virtually any of the news orgs, such as CNN, or MSNBC, etc, you'll see pharma ads and / or sponsorship logos during the broadcast. In many cases, the pharma company account for 70% or more of their advertising revenue. They can effectively crush any story they don't want making the mainstream, while also pushing whatever health narrative they desire to drive profits. It's truly disgusting.

I've pretty much started watching Glen Greenwald's online newscasts, he is one of the few remaining true investigative journalists out there.

Smearing is the new mainstream way of silencing open discussions.

You can always tell something is up when the use of certain words / phrases are used to discredit the other person, always without supporting data.

This is a form of censorship and it's growing more frequent.

History has shown us that the ones doing the censoring are always the bad guys.

Even the laziest manager is 10 times more useful and effective than a scrum master.

They are the biggest BS jobs in the tech industry by a mile.

Perhaps you should ask ChatGPT to explain the code you are not clear on. It's a great opportunity to learn, and honestly that's part of the 'fun' of using CoPilot, I've learned some new things that I wasn't aware of. Mostly they're just newer syntactic sugar, but it's still good to keep up on a language's latest syntax / features.
