There's not enough internet-scale data for robotics. The gap is huge! So anyone that claims to have a GPT like model is not behing honest.

Yes there should be. But there won’t be until US stops lobbying and American public elects lawmakers that work for people instead of their own pockets.

Unfortunately most people has a price in this world. Those who can’t be bought are just so rare.

And people that are likely to not be bought wouldn't enter politics in most cases. To enter and succeed in politics needs ambition and skillset that is diametrically opposite to a honest person.

The disgusting part is it’s not even that much money. $20k here, $50k there gets you a lot of political leverage.

Isn’t that actually a valid way to test? IMHO Performing under pressure is a capability signal in itself.

Well, that is a way to test students’ ability to perform under pressure, but I’m adamant it’s not a fair assessment of their skill in the subject at hand, nor how much they’d worked and improved during the course. On several occasions I have gotten higher marks than my friend because of their anxiety issues, despite me being a worse student and arguably a worse researcher (what we studied for).

> It's usually more dangerous for women to give birth lying down, so why do they? It's all because of a Frenchman who decided it was more convenient – for men.

The first paragraph itself makes me not want to read further.


Do we even need documentation with LLMs? :)

The LLMs need documentation

The LLMs might be able to put the mythical "the code is the documentation" into practice.

How would they make money from the tokens then haha? The main revenue driver of these companies is to get people to use more tokens. That’s what they will optimise for. Getting the developers out of the way is the way to do it.


Isn’t Cursor’s business model mostly subscriptions? They’re the ones paying for inference, not the user directly, right? So wouldn’t they be incentivized to minimize token usage per unit of user value, not maximize raw tokens?


It's pay-as-you-go after a certain number of included requests/tokens: https://cursor.com/docs/models-and-pricing


I think enterprise users have a API for the whole company do pay as you go? I believe that’s where they make the most money.

Nope. Enterprise you pay for seat to access all of the enterprise features and then you just pay for tokens as you go. Vast majority of their actual revenue comes from enterprise and their revenue is just api pass through to the model providers.


Does Cursor make money from tokens?

I thought it was primarily a user of Anthropic and OpenAI APIs, so the fewer tokens you use to accomplish a task, the higher their margin.


Gemini is featured just as prominently, and they've most recently been pushing their own model series (Composer).


You need to get in touch with them personally. I feel all hiring happens in circles.


My favourite one is Iosevka Extended.


Yeah, I kinda expected it. I'm a gruvbox and catpuccin guy haha.


In the latest version of VSCode, the default themes were updated.
