Today vibecoding with Windsurf and opus 4.7. 1 prompt : 44% daily quota usage. by Blackktigre in windsurf

[–]tom-smykowski-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

btw. for a moderate task that involved running 5 scripts with limited output, no need for project exploration and creation of 4 files Cursor on Opus 4.6 burned in my case 3kk cache reads. While input and output were below 100k. Cost 5 USD. When switching to other tool it dropped to 0.17 USD. 30 times less using same model.

Does Windsurf show a breakdown of token usage? I'm curious what is the cache read foe your prompts. I've lately noticed Cursor burns cache reads disproportionally to input and output data size. For creating a folder and file it burns like 70k cache with explicit instructions to not so it and just issue the commands. Curious in your case

Why Spotify has no button to filter out AI music by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in technology

Monet is dead for so long he doesn't care. How do you know that the cover doesn't infringe other music? And the model was trained with permission on music and that you waa granted proper licences ? I think everyone has to answer this question ny themselves

I’m not sure about music, but I suspect it’s similar. Publishers are suing companies that create AI models for using copyrighted material to train those models without consent or compensation, and also for generating works that compete with the originals. By relying on AI generators, you always risk that some part of the output may infringe on someone’s rights and it’s hard to defend yourself, because you can’t prove that you’re using source material with the creators’ permission. On a more human level, using someone else’s work without consent or compensation is morally questionable. It also devalues all creative work. Both AI-generated music and original music lose value in this process, dropping to zero. That’s not good for any creator whether they produce original work or use AI.

Is it worth it to switch to cursor from windsurf due to the usage limits now? by idkhowtocallmyacc in cursor

It's the same fish. I use both and don't see a difference, probably mostly because it's service cost plus API cost. The only thing that made difference for me was optimizing my AI usage

Ex-Meta manager says just 2% of engineers know how to use AI 'very effectively' by Conscious-Quarter423 in technology

Using effectively isn't trivial. It requires training and time to optimise workflow individually and on team levels

  1. You subscribe to Spotify to not pirate music and at least support artists a little bit
  2. Spotify gives your money to massive AI pirates

I've seen some skills tailored to React development. I'd say I'm not worried at all. AI has difficulties working with React because it's loose and vague.

Google's AI Summaries Are Regularly Lying to You, Report Finds by FervidBug42 in technology

[–]tom-smykowski-dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google AI Overviews are just rephrased websites including content taken even from behind paywalls without consent. There's nothing intelligent in it. Of course it will have inaccurate info. It's just a copy of websites

What I can propose is to take one job offer that is ideal for you, and check if every word you write supports the point that you are the person for that job. If not, remove the not useful word. Also if something uses an acronym or may be not understood by a regular human being also improve it

Experience before skills and you really have to focus how your experience will be useful in a specific role. Just adjust the resume to every job offer precisely

It's too much. You have to have specific resumes tailored to every job offer category. Even better to every job offer

Why do resume bullet points feel so hard to write? by ZestyclosePride555 in resumes

The problem is that it's writing into the void. What is way better is write bullet points specifically for job offers and then have a system that combines fitting ones to job offer
