Yes! Trump is just the symptom of a much more serious disease. Far too many Americans are unable to distinguish propaganda from journalism, unable to critically evaluate the information they receive, where it comes from and who it actually benefits.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” - Jefferson, 1816.

1611 Psalm 51:16 (KJV) uses else as a conjunction as well.

Can you name a single western democracy where the citizens are prohibited from criticizing their government?

10yr+ All Products Pack subber as well, cancelled in August.

They really didn't do well with AI integration the past few years. When Cursor was all the rage, JetBrains was pushing their own service whose pricing wasn't transparent and just didn't hold up to SotA. I'd still agree that using Codex or Claude from CLI is a better user experience.

Yet, looks like their revenue is up. Wonder where they're investing.

Marketing teams kill for this. Every business wants this in the beginning. Once you're big enough that it threatens the trademark, the game changes.

Fair point, I'm quite sure it is the opposite.

Tomorrow's FTC perhaps.

100% this.

When you need to work with the government, the last thing you want is a program limited by a specific set of rules and interfaces. You want a person who understands your (sometimes unique) issue, who knows how things actually work, and can work around the restrictions imposed upon programs. Someone who can pick up a phone, help you out of bureaucratic corners.

My experience as well.

For coding specifically, I've found 5.6-Sol > 6.0 Sol > Astra.

For modeling and artwork, Astra has been great routinely outperforming Kimi.

This is reminiscent to me of what Anthropic pulled back in February with their adaptive thinking rollout.

I can't wait for technology to catch up to a point where we can rid ourselves of this oligopoly.

Got it, calendar updated: switch back to Claude on the 29th.

I realize this may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel the FTC should start looking at things like this. If a well funded company can bait the market long enough to drown most everyone else out then double their price overnight (ok, 30 days..) doesn't competition just become a matter of who has the deepest pockets?

Neat! Reminds me of circa 92-94 Prodigy/CompuServe days. By '96 I recall having moved on to local dial-up ISPs. The longer handshake was well worth it for 56k versus the 300-2400 many of us came from.

Regex pre-filter. You're welcome.

Right. Steal the world's information and wrap it up as a set of numbers. Convince a bunch of billionaires that those numbers are worth a trillion. Then once you realize it's just another commodity and the competition is real, aim for "too big to fail", cozy up with the gov't and hope for a bailout.

Is this solely to prop up SPCX?

Besides its following, does Cursor have any sort of moat? It's VS Code with a harness right?
