(1) That's a big if. It requires building a team specialized in delivering what Cursor has already delivered which is no small task. There are probably only a handful of engineers on the planet that have or can be incentivized to develop the product intuition the Cursor founders have developed in the market already. And even then; I'm an aspiring engineer / PM at Anthropic. Why would I choose to spend all of my creat…

In my opinion you're vastly overestimating how much of a moat Cursor has. In broad strokes, in builds an index of your repo for easier referencing and then adds some handy UI hooks so you can talk to the model, there really isn't that much more going on. Yes, the autocomplete is nice at times, but it's at best like pair programming with a new hire. Every big player in the AI space could replicate what they've done, i…

Conversely, I think you're overestimating the impact of the value (or lack thereof) of technology over distribution and market timing.

Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

I tried signing up to use Claude about 6 months ago and ran into an error on the signup page. For some reason this completely locked me out from signing up since a phone number was tied to the login. I have submitted requests to get removed from this blacklist and heard nothing. The times I have tried to reach out on Twitter were never responded to. Has the customer support improved in the last 6 months?

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

Your comments have more bits of precision than the ADCs you love discussing, but somehow still manage to compress all nuance out of complex topics

Hit dog hollers

Damn, got me there haha

> output limit of 128K tokens

Is this limit on thinking mode only? Or does normal mode have same limit now? 8192 tokens output limit can be bit small these days.

I was trying to extract all urls along with their topics from a "what are you working on" HN thread. And 8192 token limit couldn't cover it.

LOL, this truly made me laugh. I'm also doing humor stuff with Claude, I was pretty pleased with 3.5 so excited to see what happens with the 3.7 change. It's a radio station with a bunch of DJs with different takes on reality, so looking forward to see how it handles their different experiences.

This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engineers lose their high price tags. I guess the next wave of knowledge workers will move in and take their place?

My guess is that, yes, the software development job market is being massively disrupted, but there are things you can do to come out on top: * Learn more of the entire stack, especially the backend, and devops. * Embrace the increased productivity on offer to ship more products, solo projects, etc * Be highly selective as far as possible in how you spend your productive time: being uber-effective can mean thinking an…

> Learn more of the entire stack, especially the backend, and devops.

I actually wonder about this. Is it better to gain some relatively mediocre experience at lots of things? AI seems to be pretty good at lots of things.

Or would it be better to develop deep expertise in a few things? Areas where even smart AI with reasoning still can get tripped up.

Trying to broaden your base of expertise seems like it’s always a good idea, but when AI can slurp the whole internet in a single gulp, maybe it isn’t the best allocation of your limited human training cycles.

So far only o1 pro was breathtaking for me few times. I wrote a kind of complex code for MCU which deals with FRAM and few buffers, juggling bytes around in a complex fashion. I was very not sure in this code, so I spent some time with AI chats asking them to review this code. 4o, o3-mini and claude were more or less useless. They spot basic stuff like this code might be problematic for multi-thread environment, thos…

This is how the future AI will break free: "no idea what this update is doing, but what AI is suggesting seems to work and I have other things to do."

It has the potential to effect a lot more than just SV/The West Coast - in fact SV may be one of the only areas who have some silver lining with AI development. I think these models have a chance to disrupt employment in the industry globally. Ironically it may be only SWE's and a few other industries (writing, graphic design, etc) that truly change. You can see they and other AI labs are targeting SWEs in particular…

What do you even do then as a student? I've asked this dozens of times with zero practical answers at all. Frankly I've become entirely numb to it all.

Be glad that you are empowered to pivot - I'm making the assumption you are still young being a student. In a disrupted industry you either want to be young (time to change out of it) or old (50+) - can retire with enough savings. The middle age people (say 15-25 years in the industry; your 35-50 yr olds) are most in trouble depending on the domain they are in. For all the "friendly" marketing IMO they are targeting tech jobs in general - for many people if it wasn't for tech/coding/etc they would never need to use an LLM at all. Anthrophic's recent stats as to who uses their products are telling - its mostly code code code.

The real answer is either to pivot to a domain where the computer use/coding skills are secondary (i.e. you need the knowledge but it isn't primary to the role) or move to an industry which isn't very exposed to AI either due to natural protections (e.g. trades) or artifical ones (e.g regulation/oligopolies colluding to prevent knowledge leaking to AI). May not be a popular comment on this platform - I would love to be wrong.
