"epstein fellatio email" clearly has to be worked into this week's "we didn't start the fire"

That definitely doesn't have the same meter as piano man

Yeah, my is that people don't take VS code as a lesson that open core actually works

for the time being, yes; depends on where the centre of gravity is for vs code in 2-3 years.

a $27B valuation for cursor seems like a huge bet on that centre shifting.

and the piano it sounds like a carnival
and the microphone smells like a beer
and they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
and say "man what are you doing here?"

AND I DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO SEE ME
CAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'D UNDERSTAND
WHEN EVERYTHING'S MADE TO BE BROKEN
etc

(I suspect the next round of attempts at productising "foundational" open source tools will need to focus much more on providing an open market for packages/extensions/etc rather than treating them like a lock-in opportunity; every current tool has probably missed their shot at that now)

I see here yet another failure of Open Core to work out for the creator of an Open Source project. $27B of apparent value for an editor, none of it realised by Microsoft; and the value/lock-in proposition actually ended up being ripe for vendor-neutral duplication.

My understanding is that premium seats sell very well on those sorts of flights -- sq operate a similar configuration for their 19 hour flights -- they're competing with charter/private aviation on those particular markets too, given they're to major financial centres

I mean, it's useful for the people who need to save 4 hours from a 24-hour trip, and they're flying business class anyway 🤷

I have at least one long daytime flight I expect to be awake for in the next two weeks, and I am very excited to read this.

I would totally subscribe to the leek

if people cared about repeatability/determinism they wouldn't be using an LLM

(my hypothesis is that because LLMs evade measurement of effectiveness, people just assume they work, and avoid critical thinking. which makes sense, given it's a tool to offload critical thinking.)

Counterpoint: no it's not.

Apparently some people just don't actually enjoy the process of writing code.
