Is it really that much better than cursor’s agent? I’m hesitant to try because it would be out of pocket and I get cursor for free (work). It’s hard to understand how it could be that different if both are using sonnet under the hood.
Its agent is a lot worse than Cursor's in my experience so far. Even tab edits feel worse.
My understanding is that these are not custom models but a combination of prompting and steering. That makes Cursor's performance relative to others pretty surprising to me. Are they just making more requests? I wonder what the secret sauce is.
I use Gemini inside cursor, but the web app is basically unusable to me. Of the big three, only Claude seems to have a sensible web app with good markdown formatting, converting big pastes into attachments, and breaking out code into side panels. These seem like relatively obvious features so it’s confusing to me that Google is so behind on the UI here.
Still no debugger. I know there is a branch open, but it’s surprising to me that there isn’t a more concentrated effort on getting that over the line. Major props to the folks working on it. I just wish they had more resources and help getting it done.
Are you using the splitter that nvidia provided or a 600w cable? Also, what PSU?
I've been using mine remotely, so trying to figure out how much I should panic. I'm running off the SF1000 and the cable it came with. Will be a few weeks before I can measure temperatures.
Is there any hope of turning this trend around or at least keeping it where it is? I don’t think that the months spent on my phone have benefited me or anyone I know.
Out of curiosity, how did you decide on the size of the device? Was it driven by cost considerations, preferences of the founding team, something else?
I think it’s a little too big for me, but I’m tempted.
Embarrassingly, I’ve been writing Go for a while but never really thought about it. Now that it’s been mentioned I’m curious why this isn’t baked in by default for errors. Does anyone know?
I am always so conflicted about adopting new desktop environments. Every time I feel like I dump 10-20 hours into it and still end up using my mac more often. This looks so tempting, but I feel fairly confident the outcome will be the same for me. Maybe the only way to achieve this is to get rid of my macbook.
That stuff is definitely interesting! I’m thinking more about getting involved in things like PyTorch DDP and the internal equivalents I’m sure many companies massive scale companies are developing. Perhaps ML infrastructure is not exactly the right term for that…
Thank you for your insight! I was planning on checking out triton too once I got a baseline understanding of gpu programming in general. The problem you described is right in the realm of problems that I am interested in working on. I’m really looking to work on finding efficiency in distributed training and inference.
I would be surprised if the original board’s reasons for caving in were not influenced by personal factors. They must’ve been receiving all kinds of threats from those involved and from random twitter extremists.
It is troubling because it shows that this “external” governance meant to make decisions for the good of humanity is unable to enforce decisions. The internal employees were obviously swayed by financial gain as well. I don’t think that I would behave differently were I in their shoes honestly. However, this does definitively mean that they are a product and profit driven group.
I think that Sam Altman is dishonest and a depressing example of what modern Americans idealize. He has all these ideals he preaches but will happily turn on if it upsets his ego. On top of that he is held up as some star innovator when in reality he built nothing himself. He just identified one potential technological advancement and threw money at it with all his billionaire friends.
Gone are the days of building things in a garage with a mission. Founders are no longer visionary engineers and designers. The path now is clear. Convince some rich folks you’re worthy of being rich too. When they adopt you into wealth you can start throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. Eventually something will and you can claim visionary status. Now your presence in the billionaire club is beyond reproach because you’re a “founder”.
I keep seeing so many comments about how the move was irresponsible from the board because it was a hyper growth company and blah blah blah. This board was not set up to care at all about shareholder value.
I’m not making any judgement about whether they made the correct decision. I’m just stating that everyone keeps talking about this as if it were a normal company structure and it absolutely is not.
