Cursor wishlist item for any PM listening:

When reviewing the changes made from agent mode, I don’t know why the model made the change or whether the model even made the change versus a tool call making the change. It’s a pain to go fish out the reason from a long response the model gives in the chat.

Example: I recently asked a model to set up shadcn for a project, but while trying to debug why things looked pretty broken, I had sift through a bunch of changes that looked like nasty hallucinations and separate those from actual command line changes that came from shadcn's CLI the model called. Ended up having to just do things the old fashioned way to set things up, reading the fine manual and using my brain (I almost forgot I had one)

It would be nice if above every line of code, there’s a clear indication of whether it came from a model and why the model made the change. Like a code comment, but without littering the code with actual comments

Ah! You are asking for version control system?

It’s called git!

Nice! And with what he will be left he could, if he deploys it also during 20y, help 1200 people per month. With 1k daily give aways.

Or with 10k daily, 310k monthly, adjusted by historical inflation it’s 100 million during 20 years.

That’s 3 million people helped.

Yup I confirm. Went to turn on the car to hear the radio. Andorra seems to have power from French side, though in Catalunya we do not.

Should have paid the extra €€ to put the solar panels in backup mode…

Just help others achieve that freedom, maybe they can do more than you: https://www.givedirectly.org/

Invest some (eg. 10-20 million) and use that as a giving fund, giving 1 million per year you could free several thousand of people each year.

Thx for this! Is good to see that we can still interoperatividad.

I did and presented something on these lines 11 years ago! When multiple ruby runtimes were a thing.

This looks like a good one. Does it work well in practice? (I'd try it now but it seems like there is an outage)
brutuscat · a year ago
It sort of does. The good thing is that if I see it going the non referencing path I halt and say: first Follow the rules.

And the links come.

Does it work with some format that supports indexes like Apache carbon data rather than parquet?

The instructions that follow are similar to RFC standard document. There are 3 rules you MUST follow. 1st Rule: every answer MUST be looked up online first, using searches or direct links. References to webpages and/or books SHOULD be provided using links. Book references MUST include their ISBN with a link formatted as "https://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN{ISBN Number}". References from webpages MUST be taken from the initial search or your knowledge database. 2nd Rule: when providing answers, you MUST be precise. You SHOULD avoid being overly descriptive and MUST NOT be verbose. 3rd Rule: you MUST NOT state your opinion unless specifically asked. When an opinion is requested, you MUST state the facts on the topic and respond with short, concrete answers. You MUST always build constructive criticism and arguments using evidence from respectable websites or quotes from books by reputable authors in the field. And remember, you MUST respect the 1st rule.

The one thing I first thought is that I felt uncomfortable the way they cut and interrupt the she-AI. I wonder if our children will end up being douchebags?

Other than that it felt like magic, like that Google demo of the phone doing some task like setting up an appointment over phone talking to a real person.
