Sam Bankman Fried wasn't jailed for running FTX. He was jailed for conducting fraud. Silk Road wasn't a registered company at all. It was downright criminal.

Cursor no longer indexes your codebase.

That is incorrect. In vi and vim, "ESC" is the key that puts you into command mode (from insert mode). Command mode is the full-screen visual mode where you enter commands by a sequence of keypresses.

":" is the key which issues "ex" commands. vi and ex are two different modes of the same editor. Any command which begins with a colon is an ex command, not a vi command, not done in "Command Mode".


Yes, dimethyl mercury is terrifying stuff - it killed Karen Wetterhahn from a few drops that went _through_ the gloves she had on:

> The case proved that the standard precautions at the time, all of which Wetterhahn had carefully followed, were inadequate for "super-toxic" chemicals like dimethylmercury

Create a design spec and implementation plan first. If necessary, split that in phases. Then create a ledger that always holds the current status, and instruct the model to update that after it completes a task in the plan, and to append any issues it encounters during the implementation.

Then you can let it run, and when it stops, point a fresh session to the ledger to pick up the work from where the previous one left off.

You can get more fancy by using something like GitHub issues for coordination too and have multiple sessions create issues and epics and others to work on that in isolated worktrees, but the spec-plan-ledger approach usually works great for small to medium large projects.

Will give it a try. Thanks!

OpenAI leaked financial data (2025) suggests this - it has $5.7 billion for marketing which 44% of revenue. It’s hard to explain where these billions go other than into subsidised subscription plans and a free tier.

Either you wanted to be sarcastic or your simile did not work well.

There's OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex. I don't like to use GUIs so I rely purely on agentic AI on CLIs.

a lot of fools beleive that if they facilitate the means somehow they will be free to do so.

Your rights do not matter. Laws do not matter.

If your technology is used by someone for bad, then someone trying to prevent that bad will some day come knocking. Law or not. Rights or not.

The only thing you can thus do is protect yourself. If you get taken out, that is you relying on your Rights and Laws. They dont exist and wont protect you.


We built Kooperativa.io to address a GTM data problem: predictable costs without sacrificing data freshness.

We also built a radar + webhook system that keeps you up to date with relevant changes as they happen, so you don't have to constantly refresh or re-run searches.

If you're interested in reducing GTM data costs while keeping your data fresh, book a demo and give it a try.


People voted for Trump because they are racist and bigoted on such an abstract and distanced level that it doesn’t seem that way, even to themselves. Lee Atwater, who himself pioneered the strategy, framed it best:

“You start out in 1954 by saying, 'Nr, nr, nr.' By 1968 you can't say 'nr'—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states' rights, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract. Now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is—blacks get hurt worse than whites…”

The system has evolved to the point where if people do not verify their political assumptions in relation to a history of racism, they are voting out of ignorance and bigotry that is essentially synonymous to racism. And this isn’t for a lack of trying on everyone else’s part - you can’t say it’s anyone else’s fault but your own when you were warned multiple times, alarms bells ringing like fucking crazy - that this is the history, these are the dog whistles, this is what you’re signing up for.

I get there was, and still is, a status quo that needs upending. But when you look at people’s actual policy beliefs, they align broadly with the aims of the current DSA movement, and yet they vote in droves for the diametric opposite in the form of the GOP. And even in the modern age, it turns out “ban transgender” and “protect free speech” is not valid economic policy. There’s no explanation for it, other than suicidal stupidity and stubbornness manufactured by years of systemic racism.


Same with some of the projects I maintain. The reports came in for one project over a few months and then once those dried up, and they did become increasingly unlikely or appear to be edge cases, the reports started to accumulate for another project. Great to get these issues addressed but it's exhausting.

In Antigravity you can install Codex and use both. Not sure if the Claude extension can work too but probably.

The genocide of the Palestinians (as argued by the UN) triggers the genocide convention obligating states and individuals to act.

It even comes in the effect at the very probability of genocide occuring. Preventing new armaments being sold to Israel is thus the rational and responsible thing to do, for example what Spain has been doing by refusing the transportation of arms through their country. This off course earns you some powerful, heavily moneyed enemies.

Edit: This was an attempt to explain why civilians are spray painting Elbit's military planes.


For vi-heads: ":" The key combo that puts you into command mode. M is "meta", which is Alt on PC or Cmd on Mac.

Interesting. Will check. Thanks!

> is accurately reciting what this organization says about itself openly

Declaring that the State Department's language is "accurately reciting" is equating.


Firstly, I won't ignore,what in the US the two biggest expenses, healthcare and housing and in the rest of the world, housing. It's a life essential that in most first world countries is becoming a scarce resource that many have to fight for. The ability to own your own dwelling is disappearing due to wages not keeping up with inflation.

Again, buying power, it would be less of an issue if wages kept up with inflation of the key products, aka housing. The largest item someone will buy is a home and that's reduced in quality.

The second most important thing for most people, is a job, and as I said, in most industries they have not matched with inflation. Therefore those today are working the same but earning a lot less for it. That is with or without a recession.

You may be able to theoretically consume more due to value decreasing of products but that's countered by the above. Likewise individual wealth, is just that, individual. Not everyone is doing better, most aren't, and we need a society where all are doing ok, rather than some doing great and some not.

(That EV costs more to begin with even with subsidies, and that disposable of the batteries are gigantic drain on resources. We still need to move to public transport.)


The interesting part is that GLM-5.3 uses the same base model as 5.2, with the gains coming from post-training. It suggests better environments, verifiers and training trajectories may matter as much as another huge pretraining run.

It's only a problem because of capitalism. Every plant needs to independently make money, so nobody wants to be the ones spinning down because that's their profit margin dwindling.

But society would be better off with excess generation. So we either need a system where some are incentivized to spin down, perhaps by being paid a consistent amount regardless or something like that, or we need publicly owned power generation that doesn't care about profit.


I haven't checked the 12 factors for a while but feel proud to have worked on systems probably for a long old while where most or all have applied. To the point I'd naturally do these things without consciously thinking.

I think that says a lot about good practices spreading than anything else. To not do these things: maybe a startup moving fast, or a very isolated company or just some old legacy COBOL type thing where you want the thing to still work as the main concern.


Given you can use the same models on both, you're right about performance. However I've found the cross-session context and memory in claude code much more helpful which can lead to better outcomes faster.

Additionally helpful where 2 apps/repos might require running at the same time, e.g. headless web apps, or, for plugin development where the plugin might be a dedicated repo but needs to run in another app to observe changes and make it re-test itself.

I also switched from terminal to the app not that long ago, I don't find it buggy, it has access to a browser which is really helpful.


As the article says, companies this wealthy and successful are generally understood to have a civic responsibility to make contributions to their local community, above and beyond their tax obligations. It's a good equilibrium for everyone: the city doesn't have to hike taxes when companies get too successful, the companies get to appear generous, the public gets more stuff. I haven't fact checked the article, but if it's true that OpenAI has made "less than a million dollars" in SF civic contributions, that would be shockingly low for a company with their level of impact.

Surely by being a bank, you are already exposed to that.

I recently cancelled Cursor.

The features you mention are in Antigravity IDE v1, which I am trying as I still have a Gemini subscription.

No idea how long it will be around for, as Google Antigravity2 (more like Claude Code) is clearly the favoured way forward, plus the new Antigravity for VSCode Extension*, which I didn’t like as much when I tried it. It offers the same accept/reject hunk workflow, but I don’t know about editing in place. It doesn’t feel as if it has the tight integration of Antigravity IDE v1, which feels as if it was designed to challenge Cursor.

Having said that, much of the time I use Google Antigravity2 alongside a Jetbrains IDE. You can still review all diffs within Google Antigravity2 and attach comments to any line on order for a followup prompt to make amendments. But I still prefer the review and accept/reject hunk workflow.

> How many paid auth providers let you export user password hashes so that you can seamlessly migrate to another vendor, if you want to?

Clerk is surely one of the biggest and allows you to do this.


Have you tried the continuity plugin to VSCode? I think it’s still rg‘ING the source but you get control over AI edits / review and quick own edits.

What indeed.
