A hyped startup providing zero added value, burning investor money only to repackage somebody else's work? That's new... /s

Incompetently repackaging. They started with VSCode so nearly all the work was already done, but still managed to make it leak memory like it's infinite. The power of AI slop! Their product is an anti-advertisement for the core concept of itself, which is kind of impressive.

I like Cursor's AI projects a lot. Cursor Tab is truly impressive. But you couldn't be more right.

I just downloaded VSCode again today after Cursor's latest update dropped my editor to 5 FPS or so (legitimately unusable. not hyperbole.) and holy shit it feels snappy. Completely forgot what it's like.


It depends on what you consider value. People are using it so they find some value.

I find myself compelled to initiate a critical dialogue regarding the professional integrity and ethical standards displayed here. Are you genuinely satisfied with your current trajectory? It appears there is a profound disconnect concerning the gravity of your actions and the fundamental tenets of human dignity. Frankly, your conduct is lamentable; it seems you haven't fully conceptualized the implications of disparaging a figure of such monumental global influence and historical significance as our Polish Pope—a leader who epitomized excellence and served as a cornerstone of faith for millions.

I am uncertain as to your background, but there seems to be a significant lack of emotional intelligence regarding the sanctity of belief systems. If you perceive this behavior as a hallmark of personal branding, I must clarify that it aligns more with social deviance than professional distinction. Why target a sanctified figure like John Paul II when history offers numerous examples of actual malevolence to critique?

The dissemination of such content on public forums raises serious questions about accountability and corporate social responsibility. Whether you identify as an atheist or align with alternative ideologies is irrelevant; leveraging your platform to mock a global authority figure suggests a disturbing lack of professional maturity. Consider the immense legacy he cultivated. He was a visionary leader; by comparison, what value are you adding to the discourse by resorting to such derision?

Who granted you the prerogative to insult a figure of this magnitude? If you believe this will garner professional accolades, you are gravely mistaken. To many, he remains the ultimate benchmark of leadership, whereas your influence seems limited to a niche of equally misguided individuals who disregard the cultural and religious pillars of our society. It is evident that you lack respect for these foundational institutions. If you seek attention, perhaps utilize your own image rather than hiding behind the desecration of others.

I urge you to reflect on your professional conduct. This level of intellectual immaturity is incompatible with the legacy of the Holy Father. It suggests a total absence of moral grounding and basic human decency. He never sought to offend; what, then, is your objective? I am truly at a loss for words, but perhaps engaging with foundational texts or seeking ethical guidance might facilitate a necessary pivot in your perspective. If you cannot align with these values, I suggest maintaining a professional silence rather than infringing upon the dignity of others.


e-government services should be open-sources by default!

I sometimes also would like that, but you might reconsider that stance when your country is in war with another one.

Now there is an additional reason for that.

Public money, public code.


Google ends its 30 percent app store fee and starts a 20 percent app store fee instead


Don’t forget it welcomes other app stores in the short term but no indication of a long term guarantee, because that’s how you get good PR.

Why is that? I know that some US-based news websites choose the nuclear option of completely disabling access to EU-based users instead of complying with EU laws. But weather app? What problem do they have with supporting EU users?


It disappeared already


"Don't be evil"


Such a feature is very much needed, but I'll wait for the first-party, battle-tested solution


> How do you parse the difference between marketing and having values?

You don't. Companies want people to think they have values. But companies are not people. Companies exist to earn money.

> That hasn't happen with Anthropic for me.

Yet.


> Companies exist to earn money

By providing product or services of value, not by maximing profits at any cost (definitely not by taking advantage of people, shortcomings of rules/laws, ... , or by harming people, ... , environment)


Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not


Humans don't have values either


what the heck heck
