The actual significance of this article is that, finally, the establishment is beginning to accept that the US may be in big trouble because of this war.

Why is US tech giant Palantir suing a small Swiss magazine?

Well, i feel a bit reluctant about sharing this, because it is so sad, but the following was recorded not long ago ... wouldn't be surprised if they took it down

Sure, but all the same, given what you've said, isn't it a bit weird that Kramnik himself has rushed to raise drug taking suspicions? Is he trying to divert attention? Regardless of whether he has anything to do with this, it would have been classy of him to stay quiet for a while about this

Indeed, he also quit commenting, which he was really good at and seemed to enjoy doing in the past

I think that Cursor is doing the same. A couple of weeks ago they removed the 500 prime model requests limit per month in the $20 plan, it seemed like this was going to be good for users, in fact it's worse, my impression is that now the limit is effectively much lower, and you can't check anymore in your account's dashboard how many of these requests you've made over the last month.

Thank you, I will certainly check this out because this is something I've been sort of doing, manually, but I am still struggling to get the right workflow.

This recent OpenAI presentation might resonate too then:

Prompt Engineering is dead (everything is a spec)

In an era where AI transforms software development, the most valuable skill isn't writing code - it's communicating intent with precision. This talk reveals how specifications, not prompts or code, are becoming the fundamental unit of programming, and why spec-writing is the new superpower.

Drawing from production experience, we demonstrate how rigorous, versioned specifications serve as the source of truth that compiles to documentation, evaluations, model behaviors, and maybe even code.

Just as the US Constitution acts as a versioned spec with judicial review as its grader, AI systems need executable specifications that align both human teams and machine intelligence. We'll look at OpenAI's Model Spec as a real-world example.

Is it something similar to Harper Reed's "My LLM codegen workflow atm"?

In stackoverflow's survey [1] it ranks below the 40th position in popularity, near the bottom and below the likes of Prolog, Apex, MicroPython, and just above Cobol.

If that isn't obscure, nevermind building all your tech around it like the article says, then I guess that nothing is.

Where does Linux rank in OSs?

They want to destroy the so called "dark state" by scaring and scarring officials out of their wits to do their biding, "the art of the deal", trimming the budget is the excuse.

The moka is pretty good though (and much more expensive)

Very interesting. And there is still ethnic tension in that area to this day.
