Ask a general-purpose LLM to diagnose a BGP route leak and it will give you a confident, well-structured answer that would almost certainly make the problem worse. It knows the theory, but it has never seen your routing table, your topology, or your policies.

Your dashboard tells you the link is degraded. It does not tell you what to do about it. That answer lives in a runbook from two years ago, a Slack thread from last time, and the head of your most senior engineer. None of it is in your observability tool.

We’re Temple: the anti-survey company. We spent 2025 working with some of the top brands in the world to answer one question: how can they see what their customers see? From store execution to field marketing to product packaging, brands have been forced to rely on slow & inconsistent customer surveys for decades. Now, we’re super excited to redefine the category with our AI Mystery Shoppers, powered by best-in-class visual intelligence.

With the amount of usage data @cursor_ai is probably collecting I wouldn't be surprised if they beat Cognition/Devin to a true AI SWE.

We're dealing with both 🙃
Dealing with the unpredictability of LLMs in code reminds me a lot of network programming. You end up having to implement retries, back off, and sometimes have to overlay transaction identification for idempotency. I wouldn't be surprised if this emerges as a formal layer.

I would love a cursor "spotify wrapped" at the end of the year.

tl;dr: o1-preview solves an agent problem that no other model has been able to... saying NO bakeoff: gpt-4o vs o1-preview from @OpenAI task: SQL generation, but for a question that is not answerable using the provided table schemas (find orders that were cancelled because of out of stocks) gpt-4o: comes up with a SQL query anyway that will run and return an inaccurate answer o1-preview: thinks (for a long time) and then accurately determines that it is not possible to answer the question using the provided tables

Tired of grinding LeetCode alone? I certainly am. I built an AI tutor to help us focus on what matters: breaking down problems, not just writing code. Plan, whiteboard, and get instant feedback and debugging. Need this too? Drop a comment!

Did you know the concept of payroll dates back to ancient Mesopotamia? Let's take a journey through time and explore how paying workers has transformed over millennia!
