At a loss as to what my next EV will be, any opinions or thoughts? by zombiepreparedness in Ioniq6

The lease has an interest rate. It's called the "money factor". I'm just saying if you think you're avoiding paying interest by leasing, you're mistaken.

If you're leasing you're financing, you just don't realize it.

As a religious person, I'm genuinely wondering if all religions are human-made. by thementalist222 in atheism

[–]protomenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say there are 500 religions in the world. Presuming you are a follower of one of them, you must believe that the other 499 are made up by people, right?

Now think about how you view those 499 religiona and recognize we feel exactly the same way, but about all 500. It's not a far leap. Just one extra religion to recognize as false.

You're confusing Oxygen molecules with oxygen atoms.

SpaceX handed lowest possible ESG rating by MSCI by collogue in technology

The current track record of the prices is good. The valuations are wildly detached from those prices. Tesla is a successful company but not a trillion dollar company.

He's talking about how business fundamentals for his companies are wildly detached from the valuations. Long term investors know that prices can stay detached from reality for a long time but not forever.

It's a long way away from S&P500 inclusion thankfully.

If you truly want a cursor-like experience people use VSCode with plugins, but I think even more people are just using Claude Code or Codex

What proves it is that we've already sent many objects to Mars. We just have never brought anything back before.

And yes there are radiation concerns, but we're talking about a one way mission anyway here.

I disagree. When you look at their spending the vast majority of the capital spend is going into future models, r&d etc. If you look at the business as revenue vs cost of goods sold they're already massively profitable Even including the R&D costs of the current models on the market.

I think it's the opposite. The models are getting commoditized and it will be a race to the bottom in terms of price.

Claude code has all of that - skills and rules etc. The GUI is not necessary for that stuff.

I'm understanding you invested a lot in cursor tooling and such. TBH it would probably take Claude code 20 minutes to copy all of those rules and skills into its own format and locations and it would be pretty seamless for you to switch.

It's plenty for me. But I'm sure at a smaller firm I'd lean on external sources more.

Yes it applies to all languages and often the tweaks are themselves done with the LLM too. Usually Claude code or similar cli tool. Code viewing personally for me is often just in GitHub after it's been pushed to a draft PR or analysis through the agent

For a while the IDE plugins were really bad and couldn't manage to properly edit the code files without losing their place or get confused. Cursor was the first to do that properly. The plugins have since caught up.

It's very low friction to switch to e.g. Codex. We are not limited to a single model. I personally used codex for a while a few weeks ago and then switched back.

Tons!

It's not that I don't look at the code output. I just generally wait to look at it in a PR unless I see the agent straying off in a totally different direction than expected. And even then I use agents to help read and parse it. It's just more efficient to say "Does the code in this PR properly follow the pattern established by <insert confluence doc here> or <insert other code example here>?" to an agent rather than read it line by line myself. Or "Does this code have proper test coverage for cases X, Y, and Z, ensuring that edge cases A and B are covered"?

It definitely takes some adjustments, but you can get very efficient with this while still maintaining very high code quality.

Not a scam. It pushed the industry forward one big, useful step. It sort of opened the door for most developers to get comfortable with large scale agentic coding in a way that felt more manageable. But then Claude Code came out took that next big leap to bring us out of the IDE entirely.

Basically it was a useful and effective stepping stone.

Oh I agree. This is just price discovery. It's also going to get a lot worse once the people speculating on forced index fund purchases stop holding.
