`curl https://google.com?q=generate me some code | bash` - stupidly dangerous

`curl https://claude|openai.com?q=generate me some code | bash` - not a supply chain risk

of course

Yea I wonder why people are willing to jump through such hoops, but to each their own I guess

I use it maybe twice a week. My wife maybe every day or two, and will go through things if they make her laugh. Apparently she never got thirst trap hunky dudes non-stop when she first signed up.

$450k "worth" in memecoins, mind you

> Price can easily triple

They can just as easily plummet to a fraction. Really depends on wether there's value for the entities that are paying

Remember how UK is not a part of the EU anymore for about a decade by now?

Pedantry at its finest. The UK is European and you know it - regardless of the technicalities.

Since you’re a pedant, look at what Germany is doing in this same area.

Oh boy, did I hurt your feelings or something? If you call this pedantry, I'll gladly be a pedant in your perception. I'll call you ignorant in return though. And since you are an ignorant (notice how I can also take an adjective and ascribe it to your whole personhood?) you probably won't know what the difference between Europe and the European Union is anyway, so there's little hope for a fruitful discussion.

But you can become wealthy too, and then pay for a personal trainer, those expensive status signifier items and even plastic surgery if needed. Just need to work harder! /s

I actually did this and it still didn’t work. Some of us are born so genetically ugly that even modern cosmetic surgery can’t solve it. No surprise, lots of billionaires are still mediocre looking.

> No surprise, lots of billionaires are still mediocre looking

I interpreted that as something billionaires could afford to not care about, like good manners. But tbh. I'm not that well versed with the state of plastic surgery either. Anyway, beauty is subjective and changes over time, there's plenty of more important things to focus on :)

Mind sharing some of this supposedly easy to find evidence? I'm having a real hard time digging any up.

I'm surprised this kind of speech was tolerated in the first place. Tbh even if it was, I'd do the devil and speak up in a way where I'm identifiable #futurecareerprospects

I admire the courage of the people that do it anyway though.

There's other options to break this kind of cognitive pattern, like https://unhook.app/

If I want them, I can use them. No need to justify ads for this use case.

That doesn't work on the TV. It also apparently requires using a specific browser (Kiwi) to work on mobile.

But thanks, still useful on desktop.

Seems to work in Firefox on Android?

It didn't even compile, which makes me consider wether your comment is just ignorant or outright maliciously misleading

The version that was live on GitHub the day they published their blog post was missing compilation instructions, didn't cleanly compile and didn't pass GitHub Actions CI.

The project itself did compile most of the time it was being developed - the coding agents had been compiling it the whole time they were running on it.

Shortly after the blog post they updated the GitHub repo with compilation instructions and it worked. I took this screenshot with it: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/cursor-simonwil...

The "it didn't even compile" criticism is valid in pointing out that they messed up the initial release, but if you think "it never compiled" you have an incorrect mental model.

Also, didn't it use Servo crates? I don't think you can say 'from scratch' if 60% of the actual work is from an external lib.

If I install an Arch Linux, I don't say I 'installed Linux from scratch'.

It used cssparser and html5ever from the Servo project, and it used the Taffy library for flexbox and CSS grid layout algorithms which isn't officially part of Servo but is used by Servo.

I'd estimate that's a lot less than 60% of the "actual work" though.

My bad, I was misinformed, thanks for correcting me, I thought it used the renderer, not just the parser. Thats honestly way better than what I thought.

I think it was mostly a joke about IE being horrible.
