I am a senior engineer, I use cursor a lot in my day to day. I find I can code longer and typically faster than without. Is it on par with human? It’s getting pretty darn close to be honest, I am sure the “10x” engineers of the world would disagree but it definitely has surpassed a junior engineer. We all have our anecdotes but I am inclined to believe on average there is net value.

Is it right that they raise $3.5B, projected to burn $3.0B this year with ~$1.2B in revenue _expected_ this year?

So either prices are going to rocket up at some point and/or massive efficiencies? That doesn’t seem like a good position. I like their models, but not sure how they’ll survive long term.

GPT 4.5 pricing is insane: Price Input: $75.00 / 1M tokens Cached input: $37.50 / 1M tokens Output: $150.00 / 1M tokens

GPT 4o pricing for comparison: Price Input: $2.50 / 1M tokens Cached input: $1.25 / 1M tokens Output: $10.00 / 1M tokens

It sounds like it's so expensive and the difference in usefulness is so lacking(?) they're not even gonna keep serving it in the API for long:

> GPT‑4.5 is a very large and compute-intensive model, making it more expensive than and not a replacement for GPT‑4o. Because of this, we’re evaluating whether to continue serving it in the API long-term as we balance supporting current capabilities with building future models. We look forward to learning more about its strengths, capabilities, and potential applications in real-world settings. If GPT‑4.5 delivers unique value for your use case, your feedback (opens in a new window) will play an important role in guiding our decision.

I'm still gonna give it a go, though.

usefulness is bound to scope/purpose, even if innovation stops, in 3y (thanks to hw and tuning progress ) when 4o costs 0.1$/M and 4.5 1$/M even being a small improvement ( which is not imo ), you will chose to use 4.5 , exactly like no one now want to use 3.5

based on meta declarations , amd is better at customized inference than nvda ,

meta uses amd mi300x for all inference and which bought 173.000 gpu ( 40% of their total gpu count ) according to that report https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/06/meta-and-microsoft-to-buy-am...

even disconnected from the network, however I have to buy an external device to bypass some functions ( which is a non optimal workaround ),

however the bugs are not solved, however the TV remains very slow and I do not even have the courage to do a reset of the TV sw because I do not know if I could reinstall the sw to a recent version (or it would remain with the first factory beta because the updates are deprecated anyway), it is a 7 year old 65" Sony Bravia for example (led, 4k, i'm good with video/audio I don't want to change it but i'm almost forced to.. ) , the menus are very slow, some recording and playback functions of content from the line crash (since the latest updates) and I often have to restart it.... all for a non-replaceable integrated soc of $50

maybe If there was a function to disable android running in the background from the tv ( which is the default), the menus and other primary functions would run better, maybe it's possible.. but do really I have to hack the tv ? how many will do that ?

and as I've said, I'm not even confident in performing a firmware reset at this point given that I would probably get only the version released with the tv without any successive update ( anyway not a solution for everyone )

I’m confused by this, just turn the network off on your TV and use the external device.

There aren’t any essentially functions of a TV that require a network connection.

My smart TV is only connected to the network to upgrade the firmware, and the moment firmware upgrades stop coming out I’m not going to connect it anymore.

talking about E-Waste , why modern tv doesn't have external device for the soc ? why I have to bypass the slow tv using a firestick , but the tv anyway become obsolete,

but the tv anyway becomes obsolete, and lacking security updates also potentially a danger for my home network and for the internet in general? in addition to losing some essential functions that only the soc integrated in the tv system can provide? would it have been enough to move the computational part containing the cpu, the memory and the sw on an external hw so as to be able to swap it (proprietary or not, but at least upgradable!)
