Stock Markets Day 1: Yay, we voted out Trump! Day2: Oof, we voted in the people who want to kill the tech industry.

If government were business, we'd be presenting Trump with a buyout package right about now.

Now we get to hear non-stop about abolishing the filibuster and stacking SCOTUS for the next year.

I love what Elon Musk has done in many regards, but Cursor is not one of them. SpaceX has enshittified Cursor. The degradation is palpable and unacceptable. If not resolved in a few days, I'm shopping for another IDE.

Google Argon - NOT impressed. anyone had any good experience with it?

Is Cursor still the right tool for heavy AI / agentic use? Is Zed a better choice if I don't want to get tied down to a particular model provider?

I'm wondering why Boomer bashing is so popular on X, then I learned Boomers comprise less than 7% of the X user base. Post after post with hate and factually challenged posts. It got ridiculous last week. Yet we're STILL taking y'all to school.

Here's the ultimate Social Security scam. You pay 12.4% tax between you and your employer for 40 years, give or take. It will be nearly 50 for me. Some years, you might max out at something like $180K earnings. It goes into the general fund, apparently never to be seen from again. Then, after earning exactly 0% interest because it was spent the second you paid it, they pay you back your forced interest free loan and then they TAX YOU AGAIN.

The problem with SI vs AI is not a branding problem, it's a reality problem. It IS artificial; it is NOT super - at least not yet. AI is constantly making mistakes, even the frontier models. And not coding bugs, logic bugs. It does not think through problems well.

How long until ads come to AI? I ask now, because that's where this is going.

Did Delta just have their Bud Lite moment with the Starlink snub? Inquiring minds want to know.

Grok 4.7 is OK for coding, awful for report or presentation generation. Aesthetically challenged. When Elon said they need to work on multimodal he wasn't kidding! I do like the speed though. It's not a Swiss Army knife - I will use it where it makes sense, not as a general LLM.

Is there a way I can block all WNBA posts? Sick and tired of them.

This is why most Americans don't watch soccer.

What happened to home theater? Oh, I know. Movies today suck.

Why can't X filter obvious rage bait and stolen posts? Or at least let me filter it from my feed? Signal to noise on X is awful lately.

Can we stop with the Ferrari Luce posts already? You've all made your points by now. It's a bad car - without question. Ferrari will take their black eye, and either they will learn or they won't. Can we move on?
