And they don't do AI, either... So WTF are they doing with that hardware?

Tim Cook thought AR (augmented reality) was the future, that's why he started putting in the beefy hardware. Turned out the future was in chatbots.

Now Tim is not in charge anymore, the things he liked at Apple are like old leaves flowing away in soft autumn wind.

If it takes more tokens for an agent to do all that instead of using cursorRepo, then they're going to use cursorRepo. Their target audience is people who really really like vibe coding.

And Cursor has quite a bit of control over how many tokens it takes to do either one.

Interesting idea, but now you’re making me wonder just how easy life will be for the Attention-Defeated generation of perpetual doomscrollers who struggle to finish a shit without a screen by the age of seven.

LOL the house of the lotus eaters was just a room with walls covered by infinite scroll videos you wanted to see.

Comment $5 to $20 games exist now; IARC self-rating (Score 1) 102

Digital games themselves did not lower prices, despite them being marketed as doing so without the cost of materials/packaging/handling/shipping

From the summary: "Current prices are tied to retail. Without physical discs holding digital hostage we'll see a larger spectrum of pricing." As I understand this, paid downloads did not lower prices of AAA games because of retail price parity contracts. Paid downloads did, however, make the $5 to $20 tier for indie game pricing viable.

One thing not mentioned in the summary is that publishers of games distributed in physical copies owe a royalty to the age rating agency of each region in which a game is published. Publishers of downloadable games do not, instead relying on self-certification through the IARC form. The age rating agencies allow this because it's a lot more practical to update a game once it is found to have been misclassified.
