    Interesting that the pricing is "Cursor Ultra" and "Cursor Premium Teams." This very much feels like the Code --> Cowork product iteration.

    WWZ the movie takes almost nothing from the book beyond the title. Huge missed opportunity. The book uses a future history format and digs into practicalities. For example, people …

    Cool how they integrated both huge machine-scale data and smaller human-curated data for this project. > The model was co-trained on two distinct data modalities: global weather dy…

    Insightful paper, thanks for sharing. Two things stand out to me. First, it reinforces that you want methods that get better with more data. It emphasizes that the current approach…

    It’s tricky to compete with your own suppliers. For example, see Microsoft’s dance with Dell & HP when they launched Surface. How do you plan to keep the CMs happy while you’re ope…

    Some financial engineering could help here too. That abandoned inventory is useful to somebody, but warehousing can be non trivial… how do you get liquid and reroute the parts? The…

    Credit based on a SBIR is a great idea. Seems like something the Small Business Administration should offer.

    Because most forges sell private repos as their primary business model. I encounter Codeberg as a forge first, then have to dig in to discover that it's a highly opinionated servic…

    There are many search APIs available, I like Kagi's. Microsoft and Amazon both provide web snapshot services that purport to give you a kind of agent-first internet archive. You ca…

    I once had a customer threaten to reject a delivery over a CVE. I dug into it. The CVE was that an Ocaml PostgreSQL client didn’t implement an authentication feature. I convinced t…

    Pretty extreme solution… you can get Claude models from AWS Bedrock and Google Model Zoo. These are both very helpful for compliance and security, but do require you to have a clou…

    Yes. Fine tuning is an optimization. Like all optimizations, it’s downstream of figuring out your problem, implementing a naive solution, scaling the naive solution, and getting fr…

    This prompted me to revisit my own decision to avoid Codeberg by re-reading their Terms of Use[1]. A few things stand out: - They explicitly require all hosted software to have a F…

    How does "standard Bolt" relate to OpenCypher? Does Bolt support imply OpenCypher support?
