> TLDR: The status quo elite that have been looting the USA for decades is being replaced by the guy who runs SpaceX and is the most transparent elite we've ever seen. Why is that scarier? The reason why it's scarier is that for those of us who've come to understand Elon, his actions, and his methods better, it's clear that: - he IS "the status quo elite that have been looting the USA for decades" - instead of being…

Sorry, but that is mental gymnastics. You've already made your conclusion and are torturing reality to make it fit.

Credit to the engineers that built this, but it fills me with rage that Elon has this sort of unchecked power. How long before this starts getting deployed in safety critical applications or government decision making processes? With no oversight because Elon seems to have the power to dismiss the people responsible for investigating him. Anyone not scared by this concentration of power needs to pick up a book.

I’m not really following what this has to do with grok. It’s his company, no? It’s also annoying that the top comment engages in no way with the content of the OP… It must be truly infuriating to work hard to push a release, and you see it featured on your favorite orange website, only for the top comment to have nothing to do with what was worked on. Here's a test - if this post was about Starship, the same comment…

The best comment on this thread !

I honestly don't know if you are being sarcastic or not. I really hope for the former.

That was fast. Perhaps we should imagine this has nothing to do with Musk to avoid completely derailing the conversation

It cannot. Musk is probably the most powerful person in the world now and intent on remaking the world to his vision.

The story about how they made this happen in such a short period is impressive to say the least. Elon’s strength seems to be making things happen. Getting the largest computer cluster in the world up and running in a matter of months? Unbelievable.

I use it everyday. For coding, I use cursor composer to gather context about the existing codebase (context.md). Then I paste that into DeepSeek R1 to iterate on requirements and draft a high level design document, maybe some implementation details (design.md). Paste that back into composer, and iterate; then write tests. When I'm almost done, I ask composer to generate me a document on the changes it made and I doub…

Cursor is not yet an option for me, but at least it means aider is not a dead-end. Thanks for the info.

Could you elaboreate why cursor is a dead-end?

What's remarkable to me about criticism like this is how quickly it's rebutted by people claiming "where did they say they would do this," as if these people don't make incredibly rushed and poorly planned decisions all the time. It's like an idea immune system that rejects any criticism or self reflection. It would be sociologically fascinating if it wasn't being combined with a dereliction of congressional power an…

I literally post for years the same thing about the need for open source alternatives to social platforms where 1 person controls the algorithm to prioritize what a billion people see. And the response is “meh”. No one even bothers to read past the first paragraph: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43036350 But if you really want to see the “immune system” shine, mention web3 and smart contracts, and watch the dow…

I'm all for distributed / P2P social media, but crypto is full of some of the most scammy and downright shameful behavior I've ever seen in my life. Pump and dumps, rug pulls, money laundering. There is a real reason people hate crypto.

To tip it off, crypto is one of the least meritocratic things there is. The longer you've been in it, the more people you've scammed, the more you hype, the "wealthier" you are.

Crypto smells like a shit and vomit sandwich and people immediately turn their noses.

Build P2P social without the crypto angle and you have my attention. I've been wanting p2p (not federated) social media since the 200Xs and the decline of the indie web. Social and news should work like email and BitTorrent, not Facebook or "federated Twitter".

And Anthropic not even in the top 10 ...

I keep hearing about Claude's impressive coding skills (compared to its benches) yet, not evident for me (I use the web version, not cline). Compared to 4o it's not that great.

There is honestly no rhyme of reason to all these opinions, someone was telling me the other day that Claude is for sure the best, I'd say multiple people actually.

I find it concerning there is no real accurate benchmarks for this stuff that we can all agree on.
