- I think what they're saying is that Cursor makes money because it's a good editor in general that integrates AI well, not just because of the fact that it uses AI.
If you just slap a ChatGPT backend onto your product, your competitors will do it too and you gain nothing without some additional innovation.
- It's great that you were able to debug that. It may have come at an opportunity cost of being able to solve some more specialized problem within your domain.
In my job I develop a React Native app. I also need to have a decent understanding of iOS and Android native code. If I run into a bug related to how iOS runs 32 bit vs 64 bit software? Not my problem, we'll open a ticket with Apple and block the ticket in our system.
- Yeah, I think this really exemplifies the "everyone more specialized than me doesn't get the bigger picture, and everyone less specialized than me is wasting their time" trope. Developers who don't want to deal with the nitty gritty in one area are dealing with it in another area. Everyone has 24 hours in a day.
- But hypothetically, the owner of the ad might pop in and make sure
1. the ad looks correct, and
2. the URL is the one they expect
So there may be a use case for a QR code that looks almost identical but goes somewhere else, allowing them to swap it out while someone is looking at it without them realizing.
A niche use case, to be sure, but being able to exploit a niche vulnerability is a skill.
- Biofuels are carbon neutral. They require land, but a single engineered biofuel crop could grow on land that other crops couldn't. It's a promising use for the Canadian tundra that's melting.
Sails are very promising - a cargo ship would need enough fuel to maneuver in port and to generate electricity en route, but for most of the trip it could rely on (computer-controlled) sails.
Neither of these options are mature today, but they're a lot closer than nuclear-powered cargo ships.
- Nuclear would not make sense at all for long distance sea travel. Naval reactors require highly enriched fuel in order to be compact enough, so they could never be widespread on civilian ships for fear of proliferation. They're also extraordinarily expensive and require a specialized crew, and their power output is overkill for a cargo ship (but they can't really be scaled down much further).
- > Tier 1 city RE prices have made live entertainment venues harder to run profitably.
Which, in turn, makes events that do happen more expensive, decreasing turnout. If there's a Friday night event for CA$15 with CA$5 drinks, I'm much more likely to go than if it costs CA$50 with CA$15 drinks.
- > In that case, if the current way is undocumented and/or inconsistent, you make it better before or while adding in your new approach.
Sometimes, but oftentimes that would involve touching code that you don't need to touch in order to get the current ticket done, which in turn involves more QA effort.
- Hey man, it sounds like you had a shitty experience on some payment platform, so you made this account to complain and rile people up?
Sucks that you had a bad experience, it may be worthwhile posting a more direct tale of it - people here love commiserating about things and may even be able to help out.
Not sure what's up with your other racist comments though, that's pretty weird my dude.
> Well, there’s nothing special about the timing of my visit. I’m just travelling—you know, Europe on five dollars a day—and I’m observing the Wall because it happens to be here.
It's relatively unlikely that you'd visit the Berlin Wall shortly after it's erected or shortly before it falls, and quite likely that you'd visit it somewhere in the middle.
