ribeyes··on Cursor CLI
i'm betting on cursor being the long-term best toolset.

1. with tight integration between cli, background agent, ide, github apps (e.g. bugbot), cursor will accommodate the end-to-end developer experience.

2. as frontier models internalize task routing, there won't be much that feels special about claude code anymore.

3. we should always promote low switching costs between model providers (by supporting independent companies), keeping incentives toward improving the models not ui/data/network lock-in.

i guess it's somewhat ambiguous here, but "next-best" would be second-best, while "next best" means "future best"

ribeyes··on Apple to wind down electric car effort after decadelong odyssey
I made it up. But it's totally plausible that embodied AI / robotics is in scope here and not "generative AI" as the title suggests.

typical privileged western "humanist" demanding people die to save the climate. never a thought about second-order effects, only emotional appeals to boogeymen.

ribeyes··on Megatron-LM: Nvidia's 8.3B Parameter GPT-2 Transformer
Sounds compelling. Where can we try it out? We need to compare the results with GPT-2 to see how it performs.
ribeyes··on 8chan goes dark after hardware provider discontinues service
This is more an argument about the hearts and minds of the public on free speech. If people don't bring outrage to advertisers, corporations will remain neutral by default.
ribeyes··on 8chan goes dark after hardware provider discontinues service
Making sound and rational judgments requires diverse ideas being available. When large platforms censor free speech, it gets relegated to uncensored platforms which will necessarily comprise the groups eliminated from discourse.

Censorship is driven by pressure from the public against advertisers. If the public accepted free speech, platforms wouldn't censor, echo chambers would choke out, and the best ideas shine.

Bad ideas can only be challenged by tyranny and free discourse. Which would you rather have?

ribeyes··on Adblocking: How about Nah?
Adguard on desktop and Android. Globally blocks all ads across browsers and apps (except embedded ads like IG and Twitter). Truly magical and worth every penny.
