Re:Grok Build is open source on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @08:06PM (#48928872)
I don't know anyone who would trust Grok Build anymore. I'd be wary of Cursor in the next few months too.
Re:Grok uploaded my user directory to xAI's servers on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @08:28PM (#48914732)
curious what all these people say now that xai admits they were wrong.
Re:Grok 4.5 on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @02:27PM (#48835514)
because in the real-world, it's far better than the rest. That's why few people use Grok, it's not even close in day to day work.

Re:The Cost of Owning a Home on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @08:22PM (#48287841)
most of these articles neglect to mention families. so I downvote for simple lack of completeness.
question is, will they buy cursor?

that seems incredibly shady

You can use VS Code with Claude Code extension. Best of both worlds

Lots of good info here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11771116/

Look up some of the more recent treatments - many of which will get better with time. That's why detecting Alzheimer's early is a big deal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecanemab

there are treatments that can help slow progression, especially if it's found early.
Re:Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards on Saturday January 10, 2026 @08:01PM (#46571685)
What's also bizarre is that there is hardcore porn on Twitter and that seemingly is ok on these app stores??? As far as I know, that's the only app on each store that has such an abundance of that content.
Re:Tumblr removed from Apple App Store over abuse images (2018) on Thursday January 08, 2026 @09:55PM (#46549578)
not just that but you can easily find and see hardcore porn on Twitter, which against Apple and Google's own rules on the app store. But Musk gets a free pass, of course because double standards
Re:Cursor Acquires Graphite on Friday December 19, 2025 @05:33PM (#46331725)
Glad i'm not the only one. I use SQL primarily and it is awful and distracting
this isn't surprising. as the article mentions, this has been going on since at least 2016. You can expect influence campaigns to be on every social network and comment section.

The problem is that these companies do nothing about this.

This link is all you need to know about the lack of free-speech Twitter has. https://themarkup.org/investigations/2023/09/15/twitter-is-s...
the concern is that dbt-core will become stagnant.

Re:nao – AI code editor for data on Tuesday September 02, 2025 @04:41PM (#45108761)
As a data engineer, the current tools for data seem lacking, even when coupled with MCP servers.

I'm not sure if a separate IDE is the solution but glad to see additional development in this space.

YCombinator backed too https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/nao-labs

main competitor - https://julius.ai/

Edit: and I see that they launched on here already. Ignore my post
