@0xSero Germany even, or more north?

@ingoa_dev Right now Europe

@mntruell How's peace now?

Composer 2 is out! Cursor is an example of a new type of company, not a pure app maker and not a model provider. Our aim is to build the most useful coding agents by combining the best API models and our domain-specific models.

@Yuchenj_UW It's not branding, it's RL.

I noticed something interesting: Claude Code auto-adds itself as a co-author on every git commit. Codex doesn’t. That’s why you see Claude everywhere on GitHub, but not Codex. I wonder why OpenAI is not doing that. Feels like an obvious branding strategy OpenAI is skipping.

@cursor_ai I don't dare to try, bad history. Can someone confirm easy switch back?

We're also sharing an early alpha of our new interface. cursor.com/glass

Composer 2 is now available in Cursor.

@mitsuhiko Thru cursor-agent ?

Does anyone know if there is a way to use composer 2 via API on a non cursor harness?

They did it! Good first impression reviewing code with Composer 2 - it found quite a lot, and codex mostly agrees. But can it code?

@_NobleHelium @levelsio Chat gives good overview.

@levelsio Any good resource to read about this whole matter?

Philips could have done this and become Europe's biggest company and a leader in semiconductors and GPUs now That is if it wasn't ran by midwit MBA scavengers like Cor Boonstra (1996-2001) who only cared about short term profits He divested ASML and TSMC because he "didn't understand the businesses they were in", truly a midwit of epic proportions Gerard and Frederik Philips (the original founders) are turning in their graves for sure What a fumble

@levelsio They had to invest a lot since the market changed completely. Not sure they could have held everything. It's interesting how many huge players got smaller back then, I remember JVC and others being a thing.

@rudrank It's fun to help you with stuff the clankers find for real world cases.

This one discussion will single-handedly make the asc cli soo much better I am grateful to my users of asccli.sh because their feedback (with solutions from codebase!!) are directly actionable by agents

@seraleev It took away from the "evil" feel of "Facebook" tho. Sneaky move.

The most expensive rebrand in history: Facebook → Meta $80,000,000,000 Now Meta announces they’re shutting down the Metaverse

@arvidkahl I think Codex can differ very well?

One of my most painful realizations using agentic systems is that they treat all work-in-progress as ephemeral. They’ll gladly reset your branch or dev database to “try something”, because they expect to write working code eventually. Never manually add code while using agents. I tried several times, and it wasn’t good. Work on your manual changes outside of the agent, always commit it prior to running the agent again. and ideally, have non-git backups: Time Machine on Mac, full db exports of your database with a proven way to restore. You can try to guard your agent from doing destructive stuff, but it’s smarter and faster than you.

@banteg Reframing the thing you wanna do is a bit of annoying extra work.

got my first refusals in codex since december. the work was related to copy protection study. the session clearly started off the wrong foot, it kept putting the words into my mouth, even though i was just studying the algo. it hard refused annotating the code after a certain point as it considered it "sensitive". a bit disappointed with this, given it's a legitimate preservation effort of abandonware, and the publisher has been out of business for 16 years. but i can see how codex can consider this grey area.

@thorstenball Yep, platform enshittification. It gets harder to find useful info here, unfortunately.

@ingoa_dev Sure, but we both know that's not what I meant here, right? Of course you need documentation/code/guidance for how your system works (if it's not self-explanatory). But that's VERY FAR from the stuff I see here and that some people peddle.

Lately, whenever I open this app and see the latest tricks, and hacks, and notes, and workflows, and spec here and skill there, I can't help but think: All of this will be washed away by the models. Every Markdown file that's precious to you right now will be gone.

@badlogicgames Make a copy from archive.org :)

i give agentic coding workshops every now and then. i have a demo where i let the clanker clone the amp landing page in various ways. just found out their landing page changed and i have 20 minutes before the workshop starts :D

@twannl Babysitter needs less food.

Who needs a babysitter when you have a Bernese Mountain dog?

Nice prompting thread:

@IanTimotheos @GeoffreyHuntley Pretty sure it does it anyway already - codex summarizes your intent first, then goes to work. Really helpful on vague prompts.

I call this the Bernard method. After the end of any prompt that blurts out of my monkey mind I just add this to the end: 'Do you know what I mean?' This force's both me and the machine to see if it comprehend what I was trying to ask it to do. When I see what its playing back to me it also helps me learn how to articulate my needs better, because if the play back is not what I want it to do next, its a spotlight on my poor articulation somewhere in the prompt. "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." - George Bernard

this is my favourite prompt of all time: “how could this be better?” reply with yours and why it rocks!

@robinebers Their grand plan is best coding model. They seem to focus on it, no more UI chaos :) They got something going, real quick RLing based on incoming user data. Chinese base models getting better by the day, maybe it works out.

sometimes I think about leaving Cursor behind 🫠 it's still the best tool but I had so many conversations lately with people that feel the same yes, it's the best AI agent there is but the direction feels unclear, I sense a lack of vision wish I'd know what their grand plan is, or if they have one coming from an engineering and product owner background, this hits harder for me than others maybe, but I really hope they figure it out
