This is actually insane.
Fable 5 just SSH'd into my prod server just because it couldn't find a file locally.
Opus 4.8 never did this, it just tried locally and gave up.

The people of Reddit are going to be shocked that heat isn't a blocker. I had the same criticism when I first heard the idea, but I also know if SpaceX is taking this seriously they have plenty of smart people who did the math.
Remember that guy who was on here with a video that AI data centers in space would never in a million years happen because of the heat?
It's incredible how certain people who are flat out wrong can be just because it's trendy now to be against any sort of technological progress
Great work @SpaceX for leading the way 👏

The Boss finds a way to rip off his tracking collar. What a legend. Would that Canadians find a way to do the same with Bill C-22, which will put digital tracking collars on all of us.
Banff’s most famous grizzly bear has done what he wants, as usual. Parks Canada fitted Bear 122, known as The Boss, with a GPS tracking collar on May 13 as part of ongoing grizzly bear monitoring across Banff National Park.
Within days, the nearly 30-year-old, 750-pound patriarch of the Bow Valley managed to rip it off entirely on his own.
Parks Canada has not confirmed whether it will attempt to re-collar The Boss.

There has never been any hard evidence found. The rational conclusion is it never happened. Now people can go to jail for saying that? Not if Alberta separates first. The rest of Canada can go woke and broke alone.
.@SenateCA panel votes 7-1 to rewrite gov't bill #C9 to outlaw Indian Residential School "denialism" under threat of two years' jailing: 'It can involve minimizing or denying the deaths.'

The SaaS is dead narrative is not going so well

Alright, here’s my $MU thesis:
In 100 years, Micron Technology invents time travel.
And right now, people from the future are coming back in time to buy the stock before it goes completely parabolic.

The exact opposite of smart tax policy. Young people who are the poorest and the demographic that have and raise children should get a tax break - that's good for society.

Diversity is not a strength, that was a lie.
Whether it's a company or a country: you want good, productive, educated people that contribute. Diversity for the sake of diversity is the road to hell. Having high standards matters far more.

Poland didn’t. Notice the difference?

A $ of LLM spend has a much better ROI than a $ spent on payroll. Companies know this, they want you to use more tokens.

The ability Cursor gives you to switch between models seems highly advantageous in a competitive, rapidly evolving landscape of models. No Claude Code for me.

After a couple more days with Composer 2.5, I've got a pretty good sense of what it can do for game dev, specifically this mouse cursor racing game I'm building.
It nailed ~80% of the features I threw at it, from planning to execution. Pretty amazing.
I did have to switch to Opus 4.7 MAX a few times for features that need stronger visual understanding, like adding a 360 loop to the track or nailing a specific visual effect I had in mind. But man, Opus 4.7 MAX is expensive.
Composer 2.5's visual understanding is weaker than Opus 4.7, but for most other things it's pretty damn close, and 10x cheaper. So it's now my default.
The beauty of Cursor is I can switch models whenever I want, so I'm never stuck on one.
Really excited for the larger incoming model. I have a feeling it's going to shine at planning. Can't wait!

The death of SaaS has been greatly exaggerated. Most SaaS offerings are not at risk of being replaced with a vibe-coded alternative.
We had a potential big customer tell us a few months ago that they'll vibe code their own solution rather than pay for our product. They changed their mind about that very quickly 😂

Data centers aren’t stealing your water.
Even if the total water draw of data centers triples by 2030, they’d require just 8% of the water consumed by American golf courses.

Canada trails in productivity, so no surprise it trails in AI adoption too. It's my country, and I love it, but calling it a culture of mediocrity is probably accurate.

We need Canada to go all in on AI adoption
