Just to nitpick the math. If you are going to fire 50% of the company, the AI tools should actually make the remaining people 100% more efficient, not 50% :)

it has been pretty much a benchmark for memorization for a while. there is a paper on the subject somewhere. swe bench pro public is newer, but its not live, so it will get slowly …

I mean, its right there in their blog - https://cursor.com/blog/scaling-agents "We've deployed trillions of tokens across these agents toward a single goal. The system isn't perfec…

if it’s too hard for you to write, it’s too hard for you to understand and comprehend. how are you going to take responsibility for that code and maintain it if needed?

Well, could it be because it was instructed to kinda "study" Servo? https://github.com/wilsonzlin/fastrender/blob/3e5bc78b075645...

I've watched them today work in the new repo - https://github.com/wilson-anysphere/fastrender/tree/main , adding another 50k lines trying to optimize scroll/rendering performance (…

Not sure - if it works, then who needs Cursor (and all other IDEs). You just ask for a browser and it comes out of the thin air.

This is from the "official" build - https://imgur.com/fqGLjSA The "in progress" build has a slightly different rendering but the same result

Noticed that as well - I think it was “manual”

The latest commit now builds and runs (at least on my Mac). It’s tragically broken and the code is…dunno…something. 3m lines of something. I couldn’t make it render the apple page …

And there is the thing about the cost. The blog post says that they've spent trillions (plural!) of tokens on that experiment. Looking at OAI API pricing, 5.2 Codex is $14 per 1 mi…

The only thing that I got to actually run on WSL2 was the "Excel" (couldnt get anything actually to compile on Mac or Windows). It a broken mess that probably implements 0.00001% o…

error: could not compile `fastrender` (lib) due to 34 previous errors; 94 warnings emitted I guess probably at some point, something compiled, but cba to try to find that commit. I…

I mean...the naive approach for a prime number check is o(n) which is linear. Probably u've meant constant time?

Well, for some reason it doesnt let me respond to the child comments :( The problem (which should be obvious) is that with a/b real you cant construct an exhaustive input/output se…

I mean "have been bad" doesnt exclude "getting worse" right :)

Test cases are great, but not a total solution. Can you write a test case for the add_numbers(a, b) function?

Yes, and for some cases no. The models are gotten very good, but I rather have an obviously broken pile of crap that I can spot immediately, than something that is deep fried with …

Thanx. More of a "faster keyboard" so far then? And yeah - if I had a crystal ball, I would be on my private island instead of hanging on HN :)

The article is arguing that it will basically replace devs. Do you think it can replace you basically one-shotting features/bugs in Zed? And also - doesn’t that make Zed (and other…

Ok, if its almighty, then why is not the benchmarks at 100%? If you look at the individual issues, those are somewhat small and trivial changes in existing codebases. https://swe-r…

This type of comment implies that it’s going to stop with “them” and somehow “us that adopted the LLM” will be the winners. The goal is full automation, there is no “adapt or be le…

I am going to prefix this with that I could be completely wrong. Simon - you are an outlier in the sense that basically your job is to play with LLMs. You don't have stakeholders w…

i thought it might be something like this (still a weird overkill), but if you are effectively replacing the parser with new peg and replacing the backend with something new - then…

looking at the "att" branches (excuse my unhealthy curiosity) I can only say - "jesus fucking christ". from the old parser ast -> to json -> to new ast representation (that is basi…
