Even though I like HackerTube as well as HackerBooks. However, for HackerBooks, I am missing the summary of why people on HN recommend it.
> HN repeatedly calls it a fantastic explanation that made FFT click, with some rewatching it periodically.
I love them :D
It is not because I don't like Cursor or have found something better, just because I see things like no OpenAI models going forward, a push for Grok, and the stuff that xAI did in the past.
Before Cursor, I used vim + tmux.
Not because of the models, but because it comes in a nice (easy-to-set-up) package, and the latency was lower than I expected with such a setup.
The resulting charts have a high probability of looking fantastic :-D
A few weeks ago, I had trouble with audio and video calls. Sometimes they worked; sometimes they did not. So I gave an agent access to my phone via ADB and access to the server logs, and within 30 minutes the problem was clear, and the fix was deployed.
Background: During the last migration, I forgot to enable STUN/TURN discovery, and therefore the client did not find it and could not connect when both were behind NATs. And you don't have to trust those agents blindly; you can use it as a learning opportunity and understand everything before you do anything or ask questions.
Normally, the background highlight color indicates the leader for every benchmark, but they chose to highlight their column even though there are better models.
APEX Agents => Claude Fable 5 and Gemini.
So I think I understand what is meant, but I don't like the comparison.
Nevertheless, this is stuff even LLMs know how to do correctly, so there's no excuse for Apple here.
However, regarding the editor, I really like it at first glance. I wonder if it is possible to register a PWA as the default app for .md files with KDE...
This is the core question and it is wrong. Because it focuses on the software system rather than the problem you are trying to solve. A better version would be:
How do humans maintain a coherent mental model of the solution they want to create?
Why do those labs keep releasing on the same day?!?
Sometimes, Anthropic has pushed standards (MCP, Skills), and that is great, but other times they have explicitly built incompatibilities. With the Plug-in marketplaces, it is quite similar.
EDIT - AI says:
Cursor seems to have intentionally dropped semantic/embedding-based codebase indexing. Their explanation is that newer coding agents are now good enough at searching repos directly. They can grep in parallel, inspect directories, read likely files, and refine the search themselves. Cursor says this now works as well or better for most cases. [1]
So the architecture shifted from something like “chunk → embed → vector DB → retrieve” to “local search index/ripgrep → agent explores.” There is still an index, but it’s a conventional local search index. No embeddings are involved in that retrieval path. [1]
The interesting part is that Cursor was still reporting a ~12.5% accuracy gain from semantic indexing in January 2026. [2] So this looks less like “semantic search never worked” and more like agentic search improving fast enough that the extra infrastructure stopped being worth it.

To be completely fair, I use the Desktop via DisplayPort at 144 Hz, while the MacBook uses HDMI + USB-C, and I believe it's just at 60 Hz, which is also a factor, but I honestly think that this is not the primary reason.
For me, the bigger problem is that I was unable to get OMEMO + Apple Clients working properly. I think OMEMO 1 has some design flaws and hope that OMEMO 2 will fix those.
I mean, it should say something like, 'Sure thing, we don't just use cookies for our servers, but to track you through half the internet, to know exactly what you want even before you know it. Please feel free to accept it or piss off.'
I don't like those lawyers either, but they are not the primary problem. The problems are tracking systems that don't just track you across one website but across multiple sites, like those deployed by Google and Facebook. And since Cambridge Analytica, we know that those are not just hypothetical scenarios and that they actually have an impact on elections and where our society is heading.
This is just proof that it can't be used in real-world applications.

I solved the issue by building an extra Android Launcher for the kids, where you can add apps and videos, but then you have the problem that you can't configure your own launcher on all tablets (e.g. Fire Tablets).
