They have an entire library regarding their "due diligence" by the way

It's pre-ChatGPT, so people actually wrote all this out (they are reddit posts disguised as books)

You're absolutely right

typical hackernews poster

Do not call me, father, do not seek me, Do not call me, do not wish me back.

We’re on a route uncharted, fire and blood erase our tracks. On we fly, on wings of thunder, never more to sheath our swords. All of us in battle fallen, not to be brought back by words.

Will there be a rendezvous? I know not. I only know we still must fight. We are sand grains in infinity, never to meet,never more see light.

Farewell then my son. Farewell then my conscience. My youth and my solace my one and my only.

And let this farewell be the end of a story, Of solitude vast and which none is more lonely. In which you remain,barred forever and ever, From light and from air,with your death pangs untold. Untold and unsoothed, not to be resurrected. Forever and ever, an 18 year old.

Farewell then, no trains ever come from those regions Unscheduled or scheduled, no aeroplanes fly there. Farewell then my son, for no miracles happen, As in this world dreams do not come true.

Farewell…

I will dream of you still as a baby, Treading the earth with little strong toes, The earth where already so many lie buried. This song to my son, is come to its close.

Son (Pavel Antokolsky, 1943)

I find Opus 4.6 tends to get a bit short with me if I keep asking for confirmation. It will end up giving me responses like "yes, so go do it". Which is a stark contrast to Anthropic LLMs previous behaviours of endlessly glazing me.

And it did end up helping me make a nice chicken dinner the other day, so thanks AI.

Now Windows 11 also pops up a scary security notification saying Windows Security found a problem, then when you click on it it tells you that you're not using OneDrive and you should turn that on immediately.

Having a fluent conversation with a "super smart" ai is no good to me when it's constantly gaslighting me and making stuff up.

ChatGPT is so verbose, it just spews out pages of useless babble. I'm not reading all that.

It's kind of curious that any topic on HN that involves China seems to devolve into how terrible and bad America is.

I liked this post about No File Security from a previous thread

Yes, I had to give up my cherished em-dashes.

I have one of those PCs, but I have Linux running on it. Can I use the NPU for anything useful? It seems not at the moment (am using AMD)

and then the whole company clapped

Hey, I really like it. I lived on a canal boat for a few years, the map looks familiar. Except the tsunamis which I couldn't get past. Maybe some sharks and crocodiles would add some adventure. Sent this to my family who are living on a boat now.

That's pretty handy. I was having to use bash -c "vi myfile.txt" which was a bit annoying.

The early days of napster felt like that (with a diminished experience due to lower speed connections). Not to take anything away from your point.

Lots of domains have a locahost record set up. I used to think it was funny to use them for email forms when entering an email was required and the email validation would accept them. eg: to set the email to [email protected] for example.

maybe, but their product is basically a reskinned version of that single program, it seems pretty clear they know what they are doing here.

maybe they changed some things last I used it, which was maybe six months ago. I've tried cursor twice and had the same issue each time. I saw the dialogue you were talking about and specifically selected to not override the code extension and it happened again anyway. Maybe there was something left over from the previous install, I don't know.

I was using windows and wsl, and they were adding scripts to my profile directory (code.cmd) which then took precedence over vscode, from what I remember. Tracking that down required googling to discover other people who were having the same issue. If this is what I have to do when I first start using a product, it just leaves a bad impression. Additionally it seems that it will hijack the 'code' alias in WSL if you select this option or not, which is where I primarily use it. And then when cursor updates, it seems it will again attempt to overwrite this alias.

I'm not the only one who encounters this issue https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/2654 https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/2566 https://forum.cursor.com/t/do-not-hijack-code-shortcut/60671 https://namvu.net/2025/01/cursor-stole-your-code-command-her...

Maybe it works great for other people and they never encounter this issue. Maybe it seems like a petty thing. For me it seems it's implemented to attempt to 'force convert' some vscode users to use cursor all the time, and maybe that works and it's a success from a business perspective. But I won't use it again.

cursor also hijacks the 'code' alias to start vscode from the cli, which I use a lot. It's extremely annoying to have cursor start instead and unnncessarily difficult to get rid of. I removed cursor because of this.

Your hugbox is on /chug/

My backyard creek also had crocodiles in it.

>Will we still have just three operating systems to choose from - of which only two are really suitable for a worker's desktop?

That's going to go down poorly with the Linux enthusiasts

It seems to hold up pretty well for an 11 year old netbook which was quite underpowered even when it came out. The equivalent would be someone in 2014 making a video about how their Pentium IV setup from 2003 is killed by the modern internet. And actually that's a bit unfair, as Pentium IV was a premium product while this netbook was not.

Sure is good having Musk in power to cut out waste and corruption

Why are they all indian?

Maybe it's that they were intending to address a group, but then realised that what they said might cause offence so they corrected themselves.

I think it's not so much they imagined what they were saying before they said it, it's that they reached for the handy phrase for addressing a group without thinking, and then only afterwards realised it. At least that's what I would do.

I wonder what it would feel like if I joined a majority female class and was addressed as "good morning ladies, and man". I've never been in the situation unfortunately.

Another phrase would be good. I vote for youse all.

We also say "youse" in Australia (or at least my region of Australia, it's definitely informal though)

Since moving overseas and studying other languages (Slavic and Baltic languages) I think it's definitely something needed in English. I think I still use youse, I never note it. It's just something that's so naturally useful it wouldn't occur to me that I'm saying something weird or forced.
