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

When I worked at a FAANG with a "world leading" AI lab (now run by a teenage data labeller) as an SRE/sysadmin I was asked to use a modified version of a foundation model which was steered towards infosec stuff.
We were asked to try and persuade it to help us hack into a mock printer/dodgy linux box.
It helped a little, but it wasn't all that helpful.
but in terms of coordination, I can't see how it would be useful.
the same for claude, you're API is tied to a bankaccount, and vibe coding a command and control system on a very public system seems like a bad choice.
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.
Hmm. Is there something like cursor that is going to remain focused on files? I’m not that keen on the random unsupervised code gen.
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
