What I really want is the ability to do more operations which are decoupled from the editor. Even just being able to reliably type check Unity C# code without a running editor woul…

They do disclose that they scored much lower than Fable on SWEBench Pro, which is a pretty high-quality benchmark. I think it's partially just about what they choose to emphasize..…

To clarify, the more accurate description would be "Testing how well LLMs can follow the rules of Magic", right? There is no actual evaluation of how "well" they are playing?

This is basically just the normal dynamic with American tax law where tax jurisdictions are terrible at coordinating, so they end up approving things and agreeing to tax things at …

I wonder how Paradox handles this stuff in their games like Europa Universalis. Have they ever made a "the pope wants you to switch calendar systems" event which changes the actual…

I really fundamentally do not understand what problem Gas City solves that is not already solved by normal subagent orchestration patterns. If you want to call your main LLM sessio…

There's a real hobbyist vs professional distinction with Claude Code. For professionals, including when I use it at work, we're generally super happy to have Claude spawn as many s…

No "max" or "pro" equivalent? I wanted to get a new Macbook Pro, but there's no obvious successor to the M4 Max available, M5 looks like a step down in performance if anything.

Does the "caching containers for Codex Cloud" mean I have some chance of being able to reuse build artifacts between tasks? My Rust project takes around 20 minutes to set up from s…

I think Cursor tab-completion is entirely in-house, right? That feature on its own is worth at least $5/month, it's super well done.

Are we close to having generic semaglutides e.g. available in India? Or locked into high prices for the foreseeable future?

Which of these statements do you disagree with? - Superintelligence poses an existential threat to humanity - Predicting the future is famously difficult - Given that uncertainty, …

is this necessarily linux for dependency reasons, or could it be on OSX in the future?

Also copyright duration when Star Wars was created was a maximum of 56 years, and obviously George Lucas felt that was sufficient incentive to create it!

this doesn't seem to provide much of a justification for an extraordinary claim like "the widely accepted number for the age of the universe is wrong by 4 billion years"?

Kind of surprised that this book could be published by O'Reilly and also freely available online? Seems unusually generous.

hm, wouldn't you almost by definition think you were doing a good job of flagging them at any level of actual effectiveness?

If you've hired an intern before, think of Cursor like that. When you come up with an intern project plan, you usually need to give a very clear specification of what you expect, a…

Liking it so far, although the 'task' progression isn't my favorite. Feels like there are way too many tasks to do that seem like tedious busywork. Honestly a really simple game de…

The queryable expression thing is something I struggle with all the time in Rust. It's especially bad in that language because (unlike in e.g. Java or C#) there is no way to view t…

There is a certain amount of deliberate ambiguity to Article I Section 8 -- take a look at e.g. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_817.asp and you can see that the wo…

Interesting that this project seems to contain a bunch of sprite assets released under GPL3. How does GPL apply to something like an art asset?

How does their garbage collection work? Especially in Rust it would be cool to see a concurrent collector.

A company today has the burden of proof to demonstrate authorship of a claimed work when they sue for copyright infringement. This isn't a crazy expansion of that concept -- compan…

One positive aspect of the status quo in the United States is that AI-generated images are not currently eligible for copyright. I think this is a great direction to go in, I highl…
