Technology@lemmy.world•Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS AppEnglish
5·3 days agoIsn’t it against the law in many places to charge customers without providing a breakdown of what they’re being charged with?
you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that’s “too similar” to their proprietary code.
Doubt it. The incentives don’t align. They benefit from open source much more than are threatened by it. Even that “embrace, extent, extinguish” idea comes from different times and it’s likely less profitable than the vendor lock-in and other modern practices that are actually in place today. Even the copyright argument is something that could easily backfire if they just throw it in a case, because of all this questionable AI training.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Cursor is better at marketing than codingEnglish
6·6 days agoEven if you’re into AI coding, I never understood the hype around cursor. In the beginning, they were just 3 months ahead of alternatives. Today you can’t even say that anymore and they’re still “worth” billions. You can get a similar prediction quality from other editors if you know how to use them, paying a fraction of the price.
Cursor also chugs on tokens like a 1978 Lincoln Continental, that’s how they get marginally better results, so bringing your API is not even a viable option. The first time I tried it, I asked a simple 1-line edit on a markdown and it sent out 20k tokens before I could say “AGI is 6 months away”, and it still got the change wrong.
call me a racoon then

Technology@lemmy.world•The productivity paradox of AI coding assistantsEnglish
113·14 days agoI disagree. What I could hack over a weekend starting a project, I can do in a couple hours with AI, because starting a project is where the typing bottleneck is, due to all of the boilerplate. I can’t type faster than an LLM.
Also, because there are hundreds of similar projects out there and I won’t get to the parts that make mine unique in a weekend, that’s the perfect use case for “vibe coding”.
