I’m glad you like them! <3
So impressive!

It doesn't look like a typical round for raising capital for investments. Instead:
1. Liquidity: Early investors could sell to late-stage investors, since they are not IPO. Their previous round looked like that.
2. Markup: The previous investors can increase their valuation by doing a round again. It also provides a paper valuation for acquiring new companies. That combined with preferred stock (always get 1x back) might be appealing and make some investors more generous on valuation.
So if I understand well, investors are not really investing for the company results, but more on the hope that people will continue to invest in the company?
In a kind of a ... ponzi pyramid?
What's the benefit of this compared to the IDE? To be more like Claude Code?
Actually, I think where Claude Code shines, is with the VSCode Extension. It's a great mix between a CLI that could be used in a bash script for automation, as well as a coding assistant.
I haven't found however if Cursor cli provides this kind of extension
I'm having trouble finding a use for this outside of virtualized unused environments. Why not instead give me a virtual machine that runs this in a confined storage space?
I would _never_ give an LLM access to any disk I own or control if it had anything more than read permissions
The permissions is quite well defined, by default it will ask you for your approval before every cli command that it will run

Why has Google totally overcomplicated their subscription models?
Looking at "Google AI Ultra" it looks like I get this Jules thing, Gemini App, Notebook, etc. But if I want Gemini CLI, then I've got to go through the GCP hellscape of trying to create subscriptions, billing accounts then buying Google Code Assist or something, but then I can't get the Gemini app.
Then of course, this Google AI gives me YouTube Premium for some reason (no idea how that's related to anything).
It looks like there are two different entities inside Google who provides AI products.
From a professional context for example, we are using in my company both Google Workspaces and GCP.
With Google Workspaces, we have including in our subscription Gemini, Veo 3, Jules, etc. Everything is included in a subscription models, rate-limited but unlimited. The main entrypoint is gemini.google.com
However, everytime we need to use the API, then we need to use GCP. It gives us access to some more advances models like Veo3 instead of Veo3-fast, and more features. It's unlimited usage, but pay-as-you-go. The main entrypoint is GCP Vertex AI
And both teams, Google Workspaces and GCP are quite separate. They often don't know really well what the others teams provides.
> Get a subscription and use claude code
I find the token/credit restrictions on Opus to be near useless even when using Claude Code. I only ever switch to it so get another model's take on the issue. Five minutes of use and I have hit the limit.
It seems for Opus the Max plan is almost always needed for being useful

What is the deterministic alternative you suggest?
I’m not endorsing this release practice in particular, it scares me. But I have been involved in a lot of automation projects where perfection was the initial goal, and then abandoned because it was obvious that non-automated work was so imperfect. Human error is a fact of life.
I am a DevOps Engineer, all the thing that he described in the prompt can be just done by Github Actions except the summary of the PR.
I don't condemn using LLM, but at least they could have use it in order to write better Github Actions instead.
ygouzerh commented on Denmark to raise retirement age to 70 telegraph.co.uk/world-new... · Posted by u/wslh
This is perfectly reasonable.
People are living and staying healthy for longer than they used to, while the overall population is aging disproportionally due to low birth rates. If they hadn't raised the retirement age, they would have to raise taxes very significantly.
People should remember that retirement is about making sure the people who are too old to work can still live respectably. It's not an end-of-life vacation.
Of course, it's still going to be massively unpopular. But the alternative is fiscal armageddon.
Peope are living and staying healthy for longer than they used to --> mostly impactful for middle/upper class and above. There is a correlation between life expectancy and job level/wealth: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7792745/ .
With retirement at 70, manual labours can already stop dreaming of taking a rest before dying.

Why are they like Nintendo when they could be like Sega? Embrace your community where they are.
They probably have a culture of "patents".
They just won the market because historically they reused existing locking bricks concept from a company called Kiddicraft, found a way to make it more lockable... and patent it before the original company and other companies could implement it.
We can say that they became famous half fir engineering reason, and half from their legal department...

Great idea to go to Grenoble (France). There is there a nice ecosystem of companies + grad schools + researchers, one of the birth place of IT in France.
If you are looking for the place to hire new engineers, or researchers to work on an advanced project, I would recommend it too.
