I bought my ex-wife one and she loves that thing.

I've had great luck with Cursor by simply cursing at it when it makes repeated mistakes.

I'll speak to it like a DI would speak to a recruit a basic training.

And it works.

I was speaking to some of the Cursor dev team on Discord, and they confirmed that being aggressive with the AI can lead to better results.


This makes me sad. Have you tried being really nice and supportive instead? I really don't want to have to yell at my computer for it to work :(

Yes and it didn't work. I've actually got Cursor/Claude to curse back at me. Well, not AT me, but it used profanity in it's response once it realized that it was going around in circles and recreating the same errors.

Shit, that makes me a lot more worried for my job than any programming test. My ability to swear at the computer, and not user the word delve, is what sets l us apart from AI. if they can do that, what hope is there for the future?

Don't worry; you still have the ability to, e.g., type "user" instead of "use" due to muscle memory, and not notice before posting due to your mental auto-correct informed by top-down processing (https://www.slatestarcodexabridged.com/Its-Bayes-All-The-Way...). ;)

Cursor and v0.dev write 95% of the code for myself and the two other devs on my team.


Thank you for sharing this. I have been using Arc since the first week of beta.

The fact that they don't even mentioned this bug/fix on any of their social media is quite alarming.

I enjoyed my time with Arc, but I can't possibly see myself continuing to use it after the way they handled this.


Them acknowledging the issue, then fixing it within 28 hours isn't good enough for you? That kind of response makes me happy to continue using Arc.


I'm in the same boat as GP. Was invited early, loved the Arc UX far more than any other browser. I've recommended it to many people.

As many other comments have pointed out, this vulnerability is such a rookie mistake that I don't think I can trust them again after this without understanding what factors in their security/engineering culture led to it. Patching this one issue isn't enough.


>Them acknowledging the issue, then fixing it within 28 hours isn't good enough for you?

Are you not concerned with the yet to be discovered vulnerabilities?

What is concerning is the nature of the vulnerability and how it speaks to their security culture (which is obviously non-existent). This also revealed that their privacy policy is pure marketing fluff, completely disconnected from (and, in fact, counter to) their actions.

If you are comfortable using a browser (probably the software with the largest risk and attack surface on your device) that had an embarrassingly rudimentary vulnerability, made by a company who lie about the most important promise of their privacy policy, then I've got a calculator app for you.


They afaik never said that they ‘fixed’ the issue where they’re sending Google your every visited url.


Where did they acknowledge the issue? There’s nothing about this issue on their website or their Twitter feed.


They only acknowledged the issue after the write up from the researcher and claimed they thought they didn't need to include it in the release notes because it was a "backend fix".

1) What's with the hostility?

2) What exactly do I deserve?


A pleasant user experience?


Reminds me of Armie Hammer selling timeshares in the Caribbean.


What are the many negative health effects of steak?

I eat a ~1lb pan fried strip steak with steamed broccoli for breakfast 7 days per week.

It’s the easiest and most consistent way to help me meet my protein and fiber goals.

My GP does my bloodwork twice per year and the only thing he has ever told me is that I need to take a Vitamin D supplement. But he also said that he tells all of his patients that.


This guy seems to think there’s a lot of research showing a variety of risks with any level of meat consumption: https://youtu.be/frVy1Sj8f0A


Obesity related deaths are the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the US.

Sugar addiction can lead to obesity. And obesity can absolutely affect the lives of others around you.

I’ve mentioned here before how I’m the only person in my immediate family who isn’t obese. Growing up with obese family members can affect your lifestyle greatly. It’s not fun.


I’d love to be a drywall repair contractor during these next few weeks.


Well at least he finally won the popular vote.


I grew up in the woods. I was a latchkey kid from age 5 so every afternoon I was in the woods with a dog, a horse, and a rifle. I would be covered in poison ivy each day and it never bothered me. Until I turned about 35 years old. Then I started to be affected by it every time I went out and did work on our land. Now I take precautions although I have eradicated most of the poison ivy on our lot.
