ibrahimsow1··on Ask HN: Cursor or Windsurf?
Windsurf. The context awareness is superior compared to cursor. It falls over less and is better at retrieving relevant snippets of code. The premium plan is cheaper too, which is a nice touch.

If I recall correctly, they have been trending upwards for the the past 100 years (up 30 points but I doubt the average person was clinically retarded) and only relatively recently has started to show a slight decline. IQ tests from 100 years ago are still pretty valid, they use military tests I believe. Double check that.

ibrahimsow1··on Ask HN: How are you using GPT to be productive?
Hey, is it alright if you explain this in a bit more detail. I've playing around with llama-index myself. Do you have multiple indices? Or do you run each question through and get multiple responses. Isn't that quite expensive?

How do you also deal with the formatting of the various excel files. Would love to see the source code for this if you are willing to share?

ibrahimsow1··on Almost half of local Twitter trending topics in Turkey are fake – study
Bot networks aren't really needed, they can just be real people. Young people disproportionately use social media, young women especially so. The intersection of those two groups happen to be left leaning [0], and more socially connected which I'm using as a proxy for political awareness [1].

It wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption that the primary demographic of a website are not a fan of content that challenges their world-views.
