In Germany headlights are limited by power consumption. The law was written pre-LED. Just another example of the ridiculously slow German government.

Yeah, I gave my AWS root API key to Cursor in agent mode. I learned that AWS charges ridiculous amounts for transferring and storing data.

I can highly recommend looking to response times for you locality. For me it's Denver and I'm shocked that they didn't meet any of their goals: https://www.denvergov.org/files/assets/public/v/2/auditor/do...

Everytime I read such news, I'm glad that I ditched Windows for Linux. Since Proton makes almost all games run, I don't have any reason to use Microsoft's rotten software anymore.

I tried using oolama to run an LLM on my A6000 for Cursor. It fits completely in VRAM. Nevertheless it was significantly slower than Claude 4.5 opus. Also, the support in Cursor for local models is really bad.

The new UI in cursor is optional. You can still use the old one.

> Python SVG libraries create spurious connecting lines

That rather sounds like a bug to me.

I'd try browser automation to get the book pages, then OCR it (or just store them as images).

If LLMs make devs 19% less effective on average and the number of releases is growing the same, doesn't that mean that

1. Only a handful of devs use LLMs

2. For every developer getting less productive with LLMs, there must be developers that get more productive to keep the trend

A friend of mine recently made that experience. Her Amazon account got stolen, Amazon didn't care, and now she lost access to all movies and books she "owned".

Fortunately, with the rise of Z-Library, I was able to recover her books (she already paid for them, so I'm ok with downloading it from such a shady source).

I guess we have to fall back to piracy if we want to stay in control.

That sounds like a typical problem of unnecessary complexity to me. I wonder how many over engineered (web) applications could run as a single, efficient process on a single machine.
