    I've never heard of "Google it". I've only ever said "Input it to a web search engine".

    ? Doesn’t the code exec happen upon merely launching Cursor against a repository, without giving an agent any tasks? That’s clearly an issue at the Cursor application level, not so…

    I would file a CVE for any program that places untrusted content into PATH and invokes non-fully qualified executable names - not for the shell.

    Yeah, but you can easily mitigate it by searching for the real git in known system locations and using whatever you find there (or allowing the user to configure the path). I belie…

    Since there are no approval dialogs, it sounds like that doesn't even come into play here. That is the "gate" (to use the AI parlance) that Microsoft places on code execution in wo…

    The user's code folder? You mean the code I frequently pull from untrusted sources, unlike my .bashrc? Opening a GitHub project for review should not mean arbitrary code execution.…

    And what'll the prompt say? "Do you want to run git.exe?"? I'll probably assume Cursor needs to run git but permissions got messed up somewhere and click right through that. I have…

    Temporary in the sense that it's a stop or two away from getting laid off.

    This comment betrays a misunderstanding of history and of what fascism is and doesn't even engage with the article's points. A totalitarian fascist state does not come into being a…

    > An I.C.U. nurse shot by federal agents was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said. A New York Times video analysis shows he was holding a phone, …

    Call me a relic of a bygone era of seriousness and decency, but I don't think the White House should be in the business of mocking individuals online, either. But I know we're well…

    Why not? If it's high-performance, it's fine.

    It shows no such thing. The officer got out of the way and was fine afterwards in both videos. This is a man who was angry and possibly traumatized by a prior incident involving a …

    JD Vance, man. What a mendacious piece of shit.

    Actually, the case law seems pretty clear in the other direction. Deadly force is not justified once an officer has evaded a vehicle that might hit them. "Cases where police moved …

    I share the author's perspective that LLMs are not fun for programming. I don't use them to generate code, save for small snippets to demonstrate some concept or do something rote …

    I'm a naturally socially awkward person, due partly to personality and partly to social anxiety disorder. I don't think I have the social intelligence/agility to pull off half of t…

    You sound a little like me. I wasn't aware people thought like that until my partner told me her thoughts took the form of a constant stream of well-formed English. My default mode…

    This is part of it, but everyone to some degree has discomfort with being disliked and will do things to avoid it. At least in my experience, social anxiety is much more about the …

    You probably shouldn't accuse others of being ungrounded in reality if you don't keep up with reality. Regardless of what it is called, it is unconstitutional and illegal; however,…
