<p>> It’s clearly being ran by someone who comes from a social app or sales app growth hacking background.<p>I fixed that by using cursor the agent but not the UI.<p>I'm just running cursor in GNU Emacs via agent-shell (<a href="https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell</a>). Their cli client (aptly named "agent") supports ACP (agent client protocol) so the UI can be skipped altogether.<p>I know this sounds like a meme ("use x in emacs") but at this point at the very least i can keep my workflows and my UI all the same and focus on my work rather than "where did $company put $feature this month".</p>

<p>The issue is that flash had everything you mention about fifteen to twenty years ago (if more) along with better and more thorough tooling.<p>In the html5 camp the features appeared one by one and the tooling is still fragmented.<p>What happened between flash dying and html5 having a complete toolset is that interest died.</p>

<p>> But there is one teeny tiny problem: the tool is so fricken slow.<p>Reminds me about that time i was working at one of the very large cloud providers. I had to edit a script in a source code repository and somehow the direction was something like "download the correct jetbrains ide, connect it to the internal license server, install the 20 plugins to make it work with the internal source code service, the internal code review service, the internal build service, the internal this and the internal that".<p>Spent like two days installing half of the shit and losing myself among the infinity of wiki pages explaining how to configure this hyper-dimensional tetris.<p>Then i gave up and just opened good old gnu emacs on my cloud desktop. Thank god there was an internal emacs user group that had written a few major and minor modes to work with the internal tooling.<p>I was done setting everything up in like one hour.<p>I unironically spent two years and a half working in gnu emacs running in a screen session, and it was much more productive than whatever jetbrains stuff they were recommending.</p>

<p>I think that the main flaw in the reasoning is assuming that cost of token will stay the same over the years.<p>Chances are that token prices will go down, but chances also are that the AI bubble pops and all of a sudden all these companies will either have to make a buck out of the inference or go bankrupt.<p>Getting your own hardware just grants you stable pricing.</p>

<p>i remember using gspace as a firefox plugin to store stuff in my gmail account. it's probably still there in my 20 years old emails.<p>funnily enough, if it was possible to find the source code of that plugin somewhere, i could probably tell some LLM to cook up some tool to find all such emails and extract the files.</p>

<p>I think this reasoning is just disconnected from reality.<p>Reality is, the iphone 16 sharing the same chipset is perfectly functional for many more years to come, running similar workloads (for the same target audience): mainly web browsing.<p>If the iphone 16 can have the usual 3-6 years of useful life, then the macbook neo has the same -- FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.<p>And I wrote this because I did actually get the macbook neo and I'm using it daily for the intended purpose (mostly web browsing) and it's just fine.<p>(if anybody is wondering: i have a large machine with 16c/32t and 128gb memory that i use remotely via ssh to do the "heavy stuff")<p>> This model might trigger planned obsolescence legislation in some jurisdictions.<p>That legislation is at least ten years late but apple is absolutely not the worst offender. There is the entire market of cheap android phones (and tablets) that barely last a year or two, and have essentially no guaranteed software upgrade. That should have triggered the legislation in the first place.</p>

<p>> This was despite Donald Trump’s best efforts to the contrary in the form of anti-growth tariffs, mass deportations and attacks on institutions like the Fed.<p>Why didn’t the author even take into consideration that Trump actions might have played a positive role?<p>The writings around economics is always this biased, it’s annoying.<p>Same goes with Argentina with Milei, for example: according to everyone a few years ago his initiatives should have been catastrophic… and yer nowadays Argentina is doing incredibly better and it’s essentially an unsung miracle success.</p>
