RIP Cursor 😔 Thank you for introducing the IDE to a generation of designers.
Since SpaceX acquisition of Cursor: Cursor Community --> renamed to SpaceX AI Community Cursor Ambassadors --> renamed to Grok Bot Ambassadors Café Cursor --> Cancelled Very clear that SpaceX is retiring the Cursor brand, pushing everything to be Grok / Grok Bot

Here's my promised explainer. Doing my best to synthesize a lot of info here so check all my info; don't rely on it So - the SpaceX IPO (SPCX:NASDAQ) 1/ Normally, a company with a massive valuation has to wait months to a year after its IPO before index funds are allowed to buy
Kiss your pensions goodbye, folks May 20 - SpaceX's (SPCX) S-1 filing Ludicrous targeted valuation: $1.8T despite $4.28B loss over last year June 11 - offering price set June 12 - first day of trading / IPO July 6 - index funds add the stock Absolutely unheard-of fast-tracking

Cursor has continued to be my primary tool as a designer despite the notion that IDE’s are a relic. I still find a ton of value in the UI affordances.
composer 2.5 is, as of today, the best way to visually iterate on frontends. i was frankly surprised by this, but the speed/quality/value ratio of the model and harness is insanely good. cursor is back!

Here’s what I’m doing about this question as an individual- Prepare financially as if @DarioAmodei is right. Prepare professionally as if @ylecun is right.
Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

I used NYC's open data to identify the top addresses with housing code violations. #1 is 765 Lincoln Avenue in Brooklyn with a whopping 2302 open violations, 415 of which are categorized immediately hazardous. Yikes.

Hey @cursor_ai @ryolu_- the sync layout across windows setting doesn't seem to work. Every time I open a new window, it opens the default view.

Indian government websites are notoriously bad. So I built Mor — a modern, accessible design system for India. mor.studiopimmit.com

My home state of Virginia doesn't have a design system, so I built one. Introducing Dogwood- dogwood.studiopimmit.com

Do you have a design suggestion so obvious and valuable that you should be paid for it? I'll go first- @OpenAI , no one in the history of copying from ChatGPT has ever wanted the top and bottom cruft that comes along with it. Ever.

You’re adding extra cleanup work *every* single time someone copies text. Bonus points for the panic when someone pastes it somewhere and realizes they just outed themselves 😂. As if the em dashes weren't enough. Plus it's plain egotistical. DM me to send my royalty check.

Am I the only one who almost always uses @cursor_ai’s Auto model? Most other folks seem to have a specific model they like, but the Auto mode feels like the most effective for me (cost/ results wise).

“Why bother so much about obsolete data-processing machines when far superior models are already in existence? We are striving to engineer the Internet-of-All-Things in the hope that it will make us healthy, happy and powerful.”

“Initially Dataism will probably accelerate the humanist pursuit of health, happiness and power. Data is spreads itself by promising to fulfil these humanist aspirations.”

“Yet once authority shifts from humans to algorithms, the humanist projects may become irrelevant. Once we abandon the homo-centric world view in favour of a data-centric world view, human health and happiness may seem far less important.”

“In order to achieve immortality, bliss and divine powers of creation, we need to process immense amounts of data, far beyond the capacity of the human brain. So the algorithms will do it for us.”

I like Ezekiel bread, but the price has gone off the rails. $9.19 😱

Like any other city, people drove like maniacs. Cars, scooters, bikes.
We stayed in Jordaan and went to a local bike rental shop. We initially wanted to get a wagon in the front but they recommended getting one with a seat in the back.

It felt a little unsafe, but we got the hang of it pretty quickly. My wife was stunned at the thought of not wearing helmets. I was ok for me, but was squeamish with its absence for my kids. But, when in Rome…
I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the @fcpsnews community fcps.edu/blog/message-superi…
