Bold claims that writing code was never the bottleneck. It may not be the only bottleneck but we conveniently move goal posts now that there is a more convenient mechanism and our …

Things haven't changed much in terms of truly new ideas since electricity was invented. Everything else is just applications on top of that. Make the electrons flow in a different …

"But then I look at what these tools actually manage to do, and am disillusioned: these tools can be worse than useless, making us net-negative productive." It starts from this pre…

I am not sure what you're implying. The first sentence makes no sense. LLMs aren't giving you non-deterministic code. The code is shown to you and have complete control over how it…

"Mastering" is a strong term and is even misleading, especially when talking about tools that give you leverage. I mean if someone masters running, does it mean you never use a car…

I mean the headline "Net-Negative Cursor" is a pretty far reaching conclusion. The article does try to generalize on the implications from a code snippet for AI powered programming…

Amazed at all the negative rhetoric around coding with LLMs on HN lately. The coding world is deeply split about their utility. I think part of that comes from the difficulty of wo…

Damn. Didn't expect so much bitterness this morning. What a strange set of "demands" for a pretty decent piece of kit.

Landing page is nice but I am confused why this would be better than generating a prompt from the LLM itself? Latest models are extremely good in taking the seed of a problem and e…

Asking a programmer to ditch their editor is just wild. A lot of this thread seems to be full of non-programmers trying to figure out why Cursor exists lmao

Calling Cursor a vibe coding app is just wild. The journalists and influencers are so out of touch with the software engineering world.

The point isn't to compare random AI art with random human art. The overarching sentiment lately has been that AI art feels bad and has this "Fake" quality to it. This survey is re…

It's about stuff we don't know yet. From today's lens, the essay seems absurd. But I think it's hinging on continued discoveries that improve one or all of learning algorithms, com…

I missed the "yeah, we're done here" part. Don't think Waymo is going to pause their safety research program now.

tbh this is the main thing I was looking for on the webpage. It's hard for me to jump ship from my existing workflows unless I see a professional and highly sophisticated app examp…

Weird lack of examples. I was curious but I am not going to download before I have some idea of what I am getting into.

Curious to know why you think it's vaporware. Are the latest LLMs like 3.5 Sonnet bad at original programming based on your experience? It hasn't been the case for me when using it…

This is cool. There is a lot of hesitation to move significant assets from my Charles Schwab brokerage account. That's going to be my main hurdle. I need to understand the safety, …

I love the science of evolution in that there's no need for an underlying model for such an invention to actually verify the science and the possibility of it, just that such an in…

I am still glad they exist. If this thinking was very prevalent among AI pioneers (which it probably was for companies like Meta and Google, that's why failed to innovate here), we…

I mean are we as humans planning ahead of the new few words? I certainly am not. But what matters is a deeper understanding of the context and the language model itself, which can …

Curious if they survey the drivers too, the people who are affected by this. I see no mention of this in the article. I'd think they should have a major say.

Do you know the amount she was consuming and the brand? Total Dosage, dilution and the per unit strength of the ACV brand can really matter, like anything else we might consume. Th…

I thought this article was about copyright. Turned out it was about them having growing pains. Though the jury is still out if a truly general purpose and truthful LLM can exist on…

What does it mean to be critical of LLMs? In that they are overhyped or that they are not intelligence?
