Is it really that much better than cursor’s agent? I’m hesitant to try because it would be out of pocket and I get cursor for free (work). It’s hard to understand how it could be that different if both are using sonnet under the hood.

Zed (https://zed.dev/agentic) also released agentic code edits (similar to Cursor) which I tried and really like.
Its agent is a lot worse than Cursor's in my experience so far. Even tab edits feel worse.
My understanding is that these are not custom models but a combination of prompting and steering. That makes Cursor's performance relative to others pretty surprising to me. Are they just making more requests? I wonder what the secret sauce is.
I use Gemini inside cursor, but the web app is basically unusable to me. Of the big three, only Claude seems to have a sensible web app with good markdown formatting, converting big pastes into attachments, and breaking out code into side panels. These seem like relatively obvious features so it’s confusing to me that Google is so behind on the UI here.
Anywhere Cache and Rapid Storage share some infrastructure inside of GCS and both are good solutions for improving GCS performance, but Anywhere Cache is an SSD cache in front of the normal buckets while Rapid Storage is a new type of bucket.
(I work on Google storage)
Can you expand a bit on when it would make sense to use one versus the other?

Still no debugger. I know there is a branch open, but it’s surprising to me that there isn’t a more concentrated effort on getting that over the line. Major props to the folks working on it. I just wish they had more resources and help getting it done.

The new Corsair RM1000x(ATX 3.1 model), with the included 12V-2x6 cable(so just one connector at the PSU and one at the GPU, no adapter).
Good to know. I guess I'll just hold out hope that things are ok and avoid heavy work loads until I can measure things properly.

I've tested my own 5090FE the same way he did(Furmark for at least 5 minutes at max load, but I actually ran it for 30 minutes just to be mega sure) and with an infrared thermometer the connector is at 45C on the GPU side and 32C on the PSU side. I have no idea what's happening in his video but something is massively wrong, and I don't understand why he didn't just test it with another PSU/cable.
Are you using the splitter that nvidia provided or a 600w cable? Also, what PSU?
I've been using mine remotely, so trying to figure out how much I should panic. I'm running off the SF1000 and the cable it came with. Will be a few weeks before I can measure temperatures.

There's hope for you, an individual, making decisions that reduce your phone usage. There is little hope for society as a whole.
Yeah this is more what I was getting at. I took measures early on to reduce my own phone time, but it seems like most people I know can't or won't.

Is there any hope of turning this trend around or at least keeping it where it is? I don’t think that the months spent on my phone have benefited me or anyone I know.

Out of curiosity, how did you decide on the size of the device? Was it driven by cost considerations, preferences of the founding team, something else?
I think it’s a little too big for me, but I’m tempted.
