Good news is that HTML in canvas might bring back these cool days :)

Yes it's still bad there's no viable headless UI in browser one can really style and it has all the a11y etc. but need extra library for selects that work etc. Invented work for no good reason. The real complexity is in diversity of devices though nowadays in the frontend.

At current rates you are losing when renting (excluding possible appreciation), that's why it's hard to sell and easy to rent. Due to low rates before homes went big in value cause you were earning even not counting appreciation, so whoever had credit was maxing it to full for easy money but now situation starts to stabilise / reverse?

The thing with home is that it's leveraged investment for normal people. You can pay 10% of value and resell later. Buying home for cash is less optimal but for credit it makes sense usually due to leverage and little downside risk. Plus usually every now and then you get money printing and you 2x your leveraged money or more rarely get hyperinflation and home for free. This was mostly issue of too low interest rates but that's how I see it from the past 10 years (non US resident)

Tested and it's good. Fast version is bad though. I like planning model in Cursor that it works more like human written design doc instead of too detailed AI plan. Seems like this is more responsible for results that model but still on fast it failed but on normal got good results.

The practical case is less time spend on rebasing/formatting code - IMO formatting standard is very helpful as then it's the same as storing AST. There's also better preserving of git blame and that's likely why they have done it as single operation as otherwise you would have everybody messing with that part and now you know there's single commit that touched everything and if blame is on it then you check previous edit.

They would compete with Meta then which already does something like this but has mature AD tech

Rookie mistake, you just conflating concepts pretending things don't exist. Good API is one that is minimal, explicit and acomplishes the job without conflating with somethings else. Congrats now I don't know if this variable is designed for rendering of state managements and when I will hit some perf issues will have no idea what causes this, same with some unintended state update or something like this. If you can do everything using same concept it's obviously harder to read as you need to simulate compiler in your head which is bad design.

I personally go 3x for gym classes like "healthy spine", "mobility", "core" etc. and then 2-3x hard training. But I would say I am very active recently.

Do I feel better? Yes. Was it hard first 2 weeks? Yes, I had even to resort to painkillers.

I think the best for people who sit a lot are core, mobility and back exercises. Huge motivation for me when I finally started prioritizing back on machines and progressed on all other things and finally look like I go to gym :)

5.2 and 5.3 are strong/best for coding, 5.0 and 5.1 were garbage

We need that for this chinese 3B model that think 45s for hello world but also solves math.

A lot of NLP tasks could benefit from this

No it's not because cost is much lower. They do some kind of speculative decoding in monte-carlo way If I had to guess as humans do it this way is my hunch. What I mean it's kinda the way you describe but much more efficient.

Windows Phone was actually good. I would even say that my Lumia something was one of best experiences ever on mobile. G+ was also good. Efficient markets mean that you can "extract" rent, via selling data or attention etc. not realy what is good

Claude: you get rate-limited with one prompt so hard to validate 4.6

Codex: better with rate-limits, 5.2 strong with logic problems

Cursor: cursor auto - a bit dumb still but I use the most for writing not really thinking, it's also good at searching through codebase and doing summaries etc.

Claude / Codex still miss tons of scaffolding for sane development or it's due to sandboxes or sth. Like for example you ask in /plan mode to check think with link to github and it does navigate github via curl, hitting rate limits etc. instead of just git clone, repomix etc. so scaffolding still matters a lot. Like it still lacks a tons of common sense

I think this will work but requires quality data pipelines and scaffolding same as coding
