Yeah, asking LLMs how they works is generally not useful, however asking them about the signatures of the functions available to them (the tools they can call) works pretty well b/c those tools are described in the system prompt in a really detailed way.

I’m guessing what they mean is that the valuation is so inflated at this point that the high dollar amount more reflects the likelihood of acquisition or IPO in the near term rather than some sort of substantive demonstration of confidence in the company and its founders.

Wow! That's the main feature for me.

No question that Ive is a legend, but I do think the fall of Humane (also ex-Apple) and the challenges at Meta, Apple, and Google in terms of VR/AR adoption (Meta Ray Ban, Apple Vision, Google Glasses and the new thing) are instructive here. The $6.5B almost feels like the largest ever aquihire.

AWS Aurora Postgres Serverless v2 has that capability, though it takes multiple seconds.

Most people working outside the network layer are not familiar with the basics of IPv6 and how it interops with v4 systems. In fact, I would bet that many AWS admins are not familiar with dualstack VPC configurations, for example. This product name communicates clearly to those users what the value prop is.

Not sure that this is true. cursor agent mode is different from cursor code completion and cursor code completion is a legitimately novel model I believe.

There will probably be AI operating systems of some kind in the near future. I don't really know what that means, but whenever we get there I would really like there to be case law that forces monopolist OS developers to allow free trade when it comes to the application layer.

You are correct about compile time magic. Runtime magic is minimal (the code runs when and where you think it does). And yes, Starlight is a foot gun IMO. It takes a framework that is designed to be easily learned and makes it even easier to use, but at the expense of the learning.

Agree on Astro. It's great for documentation/blog sites but quite unopinionated so can easily be used for varied site structures. Unlike certain other frameworks, there is no magic in Astro. It generates very straightforward HTML.

I’m not the OP but DSQL has such limited Postgres compatibility that it is very unlikely to be compatible.
