This phase that all these companies went through doesn’t seem that bad. Before these places had a big problem where all their employees didn’t understand how to us ai for their work. Now they’ve overspent and tokenmaxxed and haven’t seen much from it. The next phase is to set the goalpost lower and set quotas based on who uses ai more effectively. Eventually the folks that use it well and are productive will bring in roi. Then you can fire all the folks that aren’t using it effectively and replace them with people that know how to use it. We’re already starting to see this.

I haven’t done any coding or anything that would use a lot of tokens and somehow I’ve already hit my session limit with my $20 plan. I’m just using it to ask basic questions most of the time and occasionally I have it write code but I haven’t done anything like that since the new model rolled out. It looks like some sort of issue where they’re incorrectly capping things for people?

You can get around context in large codebases by solving the memory problem. Also works better if you can break up larger projects into smaller sub components with adequate documentation.

No, pre silicon unfortunately. But this was a couple years ago, so who knows what the market is now.

Texas is a quasi fascist state at this point. I wouldn’t hold your breath about Greg Abbott coming to the rescue. This type of interaction with their constituents is common now.

You can still get old Mac minis for less than that, which have more memory and can run Debian. Probably best performance per dollar hardware available on the used market

You seem to fall into the same set of criticisms as everyone who’s bearish about ai. It’s somehow so powerful that we can’t handle the ramifications. Meanwhile, it’s a waste of money and doesn’t do anything. You have to pick a criticism and stick with it. Otherwise, it’s just angst-driven noise.

By that logic, you should blame the people that use meta’s products.

sbochins — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:48:32 +0000

All these bills about age verification have nothing to do with protecting kids. This is just an easier pill for folks that aren’t privacy minded to follow. In the end, all your online activity and offline activity (flock cameras) will be tracked, because it gives our politicians and national security apparatus the type of power they crave.

This like many other attempts at this type of thing don’t understand the in distribution vs out of distribution aspect of ml models. Using something the model has the most training on will have the best outcomes. A new handcrafted programming language will perform significantly worse than a poorly thought out programming language that is widely used. Everything is going to revert to the mean as llms continue to progress.

sbochins — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:38:05 +0000

Not clear to me how cursor can remain relevant in the era of agent coding. The main things I care about now are navigation and quick editing. Vanilla VS Code or vim with some extensions does the job for me now.

Does this matter? I think every other agent cli is open source. I don’t even know why Anthropic insist upon having theirs be closed source.

You’re absolutely right. The labor market is still quite strong. All the doom and gloom from places like HN is coming from the many layoff announcements and fear of AI.

At the end of the day, he built something people want. That’s what really matters. OpenAI and Anthropic could not build it because of the security issues you point out. But people are using it and there is a need for it. Good on him for recognizing this and giving people what they want. We’re all adults and the users will be responsible for whatever issues they run into because of the lack of security around this project.

I think in the end he’ll mostly be remembered for his support of trump and his abhorrent political views. He had a great comic strip that reasonated with people. He also wrote some interesting books. It’s a good reminder that your accomplishments can easily be wiped out by bad choices.

I feel like cli agents are the main benefit of going back to Linux. It’s such a joy to have all the solutions to customizations and fixes I want completely automated, using an agent that can control anything I permit and understands my OS completely.
