This has to result in jail time for multiple people… right?

Sorry but this is so off topic. Does not belong here.

Can you elaborate please? Very curious to hear non-employee perspective

Th CEO is an attention seeking moron who used to spam HackerNews with job posts for his previous company (Skio) which got preferential treatment as a YC company. I wouldn’t pay any attention to this company.

Their original schtick was charging $10k to get on their waitlist, which clearly failed as now you can “get started for $0” per their website.

Wait - this is the same Denise Dresser that led led some uber-high-pressure Salesforce enterprise sales teams in 2010s? Something tells me you aren’t really sorry

I’m sorry but do people upvote things just because they’re Launch HN? The demo is meaningless, I looked through the docs and it doesn’t tell me anything about what kind of use cases or user journeys this product enables. I am so confused

My tinfoil hat theory is that Cursor deploys a lot of “guerilla marketing” with influencers on Twitter/LinkedIn etc. When I tried it, the product was not good (maybe on par with Copilot) but you have people on social media swearing by it. Maybe it just works well for specific types of web development, but I came away thoroughly unimpressed and suspicious that some of the “word of mouth” stuff on them is actually funded by them.

I don’t think we should be encouraging tourism to an apartheid state like SL

nirushiv — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 00:47:07 +0000

I haven’t read through the code in detail but I can tell you “sub-nanosecond overhead” is misleading and marketing fluff. On first look, the measure seems to be some convoluted “time per thing” where the number of threads is far far smaller than the number of “thing”s

Sorry for the naive question - but what is an example of “send a message to another CPU”? In high level programming languages, isn’t this usually over shared memory as well? Are there constructs to directly “message” a CPU? When might one use it?

This is just typical replit marketing. They have a long list of shady practices

Can second this. Tried them out at our startup, came away unimpressed. Their good engineering blog is great marketing though, although this particular post is lacklustre. What about permissions, indirections, versioning or otherwise encapsulating breaking changes?

Precisely. Especially in India - which is almost as large a time zone offset as you can have. Furthermore, India pays competitively enough that you’re not saving that much money for top talent as compared to e.g Eastern Europe. When I ran engineering teams, the language/dialect barrier between our US mothership and India was much much wider than South American and European devs, even though India is technically the largest English-speaking country in the world.
