Cursor has $4 billion annual revenue rate so $60b is 15 years of future cashflows. That's not crazy because if past predicts the future, that revenue will grow quickly. At $8 billi…

Per latest reporting, Cursor's current annual revenue rate is $4 billion. So SpaceX is buying 15 years of future cashflows, assuming no change in revenue. Which is bad assumption g…

You're extrapolating from an exception. EGCS was created because Cygnus, a company whose business was based on GCC, wasn't getting their patches to GCC, maintained by non-company F…

Or maybe it's very rational because their 2021 (IPO year) revenue ($7,839m) was higher than their 2025 revenue ($7,181). Granted, their profitability is better but in 2021 they wer…

SpaceX had to literally sue the military to even be allowed to bid for projects. And won. And then won the contracts. The guy who landed on the Moon testified in congress opposing …

Prohibition did fail and US had to revert ban on alcohol. The rules are made by politicians. All it takes to change the rules is to rotate politicians. Or enough public dissent tha…

What is it, o wise person stingy with the information.

Not only it can but it does. Just as I was reading this claude implemented a drag&drop of images out of SumatraPDF. I asked: > implement dragging out images; if we initiate drag ac…

The same logic applies to your statement: > Do that enough and you won't know enough about your codebase to recognise errors in the LLM output. Okay, when that happens, then sure, …

1. 99.999999% of software is not equivalent to "doing surgery" so doesn't need gatekeeping. I work on free, open-source PDF reader SumatraPDF. What kind of authorization should I g…

Are they getting that from Bluesky? Mastodon? LinkedIn? Instagram? TikTok? Facebook? Of course not. And yet they leave X and only X.

In the age of AI tools like this are pointless. Especially new ones, given existence of make, cmake, premake and a bunch of others. C++ build system, at the core, boils down to cal…

I have no issue with with code generated by e.g. Claude because it's not "slop". On average, it's probably better than the code I would write. I say "on average" because AI doesn't…

AI is assisting you. It'll write efficient code if you guide it to write efficient code. You're not a hapless victim of ai written code. To give you a concrete examples. Recently p…

The comparison valid for his example would be to compare revenues from mass produced pottery vs. revenues of handmade pottery sold on etsy. Methinks that mass produced pottery make…

Do you disagree with his analogy? Hand made pottery cannot compete on price with industrially made pottery and therefore majority of pottery is made industrially. 100% human writte…

This is not first time in history that RAM prices spiked. And it'll be resolved the same way all others were. demand > supply => higher prices => incentive to produce more => produ…
