You needed to merge two PDFs last week. You Googled "merge PDF free." You clicked the first result. You uploaded your tax return and your pay stub to a website you had never heard of. It merged them in 3 seconds. You downloaded the file and moved on. You never thought about what happened to your documents. They were uploaded to a server in a country you cannot name. Processed by software you cannot audit. Stored for a duration nobody disclosed. Your tax return. Your pay stub. Your salary. Your signature. On a stranger's disk. Forever. You did this voluntarily. In under 10 seconds. Without reading a single word of fine print. There is a tool that does everything those websites do. On YOUR computer. Your files never leave your machine. It is called Stirling-PDF. 77,100+ stars on GitHub. 25 million+ downloads. The #1 PDF application on all of GitHub. Here is what it does: → Merge PDFs. Split PDFs. Compress PDFs. Rotate and reorder pages. → Convert PDFs to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images. And back again. → Add passwords. Remove passwords. Flatten forms. Sanitize metadata. → Sign PDFs with a drawn signature, typed name, or digital certificate. → OCR scanned documents with Tesseract to make them searchable. → Add watermarks, page numbers, headers, footers, and stamps. → Redact text and images permanently. Crop, deskew, and repair. → View and annotate PDFs directly in your browser. → No-code automation pipelines to batch-process thousands of files. → REST API for every tool. Automate every operation. → Desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux. No browser needed. → One Docker command to self-host everything. Here's the wildest part: Adobe Acrobat Pro costs $19.99 per month. That is $239.88 a year. Acrobat Studio: $24.99 per month. That is $299.88 a year. Smallpdf Pro: $108 per year. iLovePDF Premium: $60 per year. A 10-person team on Adobe pays $2,660 a year to edit documents. And every single one of those tools processes your files on THEIR servers. Stirling-PDF processes everything locally. Your files exist on your machine. The server sits on your hardware. The network stays inside your walls. 77,100+ stars. 6,700+ forks. 175 releases. 4,900+ commits. 48% TypeScript and 43% Java. MIT-licensed core. Self-host it. Fork it. Ship it. 100% Open Source.

I never realized how much stress driving added to my life until I started letting Tesla FSD handle most of it. Now it does over 90% of my driving, and I've never felt more relaxed behind the wheel. My cortisol levels probably appreciate it too. Anyone else noticing the same thing?

The battle for the SuperApp: > SpaceX + Cursor > Meta + Manus > OpenAI Codex > Claude Desktop > Google Something...

Let's be honest: This thing looks awesome! And with 20 hours of battery life, we might be looking at a laptop that's a serious contender to a MacBook. I'm a huge fan of Macs, but I don't think Apple cares about their software anymore (their hardware is still amazing!), so I'm trying to find any possible justification to start using Linux (Omarchy, probably).

Things that happened 1 month before my vacation: - opus 4.7 Things that have happened since I got on the plane: - vercel hack - gpt-image-2 - claude code removed from pro - cursor might get bought by spacex - kimi k2.6

We're partnering with SpaceX to improve Composer. cursor.com/blog/spacex-mo…

Bitcoin just broke @benjamincowen bear market resistance band

You can use Codex on these plans: - Plus: $20 -- Go: $8 --- Free: $0!

Anthropic: Keeps limiting compute and lying to playing customers / nerfing models. OpenAI: - 10 min downtime? Limits reset! - We hit 4 million followers? Limit reset! - Starbucks person spelled my name correctly on my coffee today, let’s have a limit reset!

This is wild. SpaceX now has the right to BUY Cursor for $60B. Or pay them $10 billion to walk away. To put it in perspective, Cursor was worth $9.9 billion total in May of last year. Let's have a closer look at the numbers. Start with the $60 billion. Cursor was already raising money this week at a $52 billion valuation from a16z and Nvidia. The Elon offer sits 15% above a number that was already on the table. The next round priced in, with a one-year fuse. The $10 billion is the real number. That's what SpaceX pays even if it walks away and never buys the company. The walk-away fee alone is more than the entire company was worth 12 months ago. Now the strategic logic. Cursor stopped being just an editor in March. They shipped Composer 2, their own model, and it beat Claude Opus 4.6 on Terminal-Bench at one-tenth the price. The catch is that frontier coding models need frontier compute, and the only labs with frontier compute are the same ones building competing coding products. OpenAI shipped Codex. Anthropic shipped Claude Code. Google has Gemini CLI. Cursor was renting capacity from every company trying to kill it. Colossus is the way out. 230,000 GPUs in Memphis today, 1 million by year end, the biggest training cluster on Earth. The Information already reported Cursor is renting tens of thousands of those chips to train Composer 3. SpaceX is also building Grok Code, so they're not a clean partner. But xAI losing the coding race to Cursor is a better outcome for SpaceX than Cursor losing the coding race to OpenAI. The trade Cursor made: gave up the right to be acquired by anyone else for one year. Got training compute at a scale no other lab would sell them. Got $10 billion guaranteed if Elon walks. OpenAI tried to buy Cursor in early 2025 and got rejected. Cursor stays independent for at least 12 more months and gets to train on the biggest cluster on earth doing it. Elon just bought a one-year call option on Cursor for $10 billion. That's the deal.

We need MacBook with Opus-level model running on it locally, for free, without limits.

Anthropic just pulled Claude Code from the Pro plan. Pro users wanting it need Max now. $100/month minimum. 5x jump. I'm on Max 20x so I'm fine. Flagging for anyone on Pro who's about to find out. No announcement. Just a pricing page edit.

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

🚨BREAKING: ITALY MOVES TO ACCELERATE TESLA FSD SUPERVISED APPROVAL 🇮🇹 $TSLA • The Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has officially forwarded a request to fast-track the approval of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system. • The request was sent directly to the Transport Department and the relevant Italian DMV-equivalent authorities for review.

BREAKING: Now Claude Opus 4.7 finds you job autonomously! 🤯 Someone build a tool which finds job for you > Scans job openings at top companies > Fills out the forms for you automatically > Rewrites your CV tailored to each position No recruiter. no sending 200 identical CVs 100% free and open source

Grok 4.3 just started dropping full files. It spits out Word docs, PDFs, slides, and spreadsheets. Just like that. No back and forth. No hacks. Just done. You ask once… it builds the whole thing. Nice. @xAI @Grok

I will be building my own personal fleet of 25-50 Tesla Robotaxis one day. And I will prove to the world that I can generate ~$1,000,000 per year in passive income from it. I really think there is no other passive income vehicle like this on Earth - better than real estate. The Robotaxi opportunity is coming, I can feel it. And it’s going to level the playing field for everyday people like you and me, kinda like what Airbnb did to hotels. All the doubters, just wait and watch me prove it in real time. I’m so ready.

Don't be Yahoo

thank you cursor 3 this morning i woke up to 5 PRs that i kicked off with cloud agents yesterday night. bugbot had reviewed all of them, suggested fixes, and auto pushed it while i was sleeping. then, another agent tested the changes to make sure they were functionally correct can also just spin up a bunch of agents on the same problem, see whicih one fixed it the best way i can never go back to not using cloud agents anymore, its changed the way i approach problems
