RIP Cursor.

Are compute resources so tight they’d want to make their products as unappealing as possible on purpose?

Wonder if this is due to Japan’s marketing laws? Doing it this way exposes more of what’s between the bread.

AI is creating jobs, too, so this information isn’t really valuable if you want a clear image of its impact on employment.

And it's available on their coding plans, even the cheapest one.

The pricing on this is absolutely nuts.

D gets no respect. It's a solid language with a lot of great features and conveniences compared to C++ but it barely gets a passing mention (if that) when language discussions pop up. I'd argue a lot of the problems people have with C++ are addressed with D but they have no idea.

New comment by jhack in "The insecure evangelism of LLM maximalists"

"And it made me think - why are these people so insistent, and hostile? Why can't they live and let live? Why do they need to convince the rest of us?"

Same could be said about the anti-AI crowd.

I'm glad the author made the distinction that he's talking about LLMs, though, because far too many people these days like to shout from the rooftops about all AI being bad, totally ignoring (willfully or otherwise) important areas it's being used in like cancer research.

"I personally don’t touch LLMs with a stick. I don’t let them near my brain."

Then why should I care about your opinions of them if you have zero experience using them?

With this kind of pricing I wonder if it'll be available in Gemini CLI for free or if it'll stay at 2.5.

"A good friend recently told me that she spent a night with a man, and in the morning suggested they get breakfast together. He took out his phone, opened ChatGPT, and asked for restaurant suggestions. Why get close to someone who outsources decisions, including the fun ones like picking where to eat?"

Same logic applies to using Google, I guess? Or any mapping app? How about Yelp?

This is how I've always done it and I was blown away when I found out people do it backwards. It makes no logical sense.
