did you miss the part where the agent immediately went around it?

the .gitignore applies to the agent's own "read file" tool. not allowed? it will just run "cat .env" and be happy


i noticed this EXACT behavior of cat-ing .env in cursor too. completely flabbergasted. i saw it tried to read the .env to check that a token was present. couldn't due to policy ("delightful! someone thought this through.") but then immediately tried and succeeded in bypassing it.


I will not stop writing music or drawing my furry bullshit, no matter the culture climate around me. Don't get your hopes up ;3


When you're the only one doing it, you'll have a large impact on model generation


Why would they exit nvidia while still keeping upwards of $10B or whatever it is in OpenAI? Genuine question.


Nvidia is investing $100bn in OpenAI: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/openai-and-nvidia-announc...

By purchasing OAI shares now, Softbank will probably be able to sell them to Nvidia at inflated prices later.


Worpress themes were just PHP themselves and people used to smuggle all things of stuff in there.


Ate a lot of nettle soup growing up. I'd say it tastes a lot like spinach. It's also nice to put a little milk (sorry vegans)


No need to apologise, oat/almond milk very easily available (or made in a blender as I do!)


Maybe "open a communication channel" is what Mozilla should have done BEFORE they turned on this thing.

From the article: "It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications".

This person has been doing volunteer work for a long time, attempting to create a helpful environment. Then suddenly, from above a machine is turned on that shits all over that effort. Makes one feel unwelcome, and unseen...


> Maybe "open a communication channel" is what Mozilla should have done BEFORE they turned on this thing.

This right here is the crux of the matter. But it seems to be how Mozilla operates. They frequently show a lack of awareness and consideration towards their long time supporters. I doubt this particular incident will lead to any changes, but I really wish they'd do some introspection...


This is an easy mistake in large organizations. Any project often already has so many stakeholders and politics that they are incentivized to avoid adding more stakeholders to the project if they are politically capable of doing so.

Unless there is some sort of blowback, this sort of thing is likely to happen again to someone, and I understand how some people may not want to be involved anymore, and I understand how Mozilla will keep being Mozilla (just like other organizations will continue their current behaviors until some catalyst changes that behavior).


I was in same position as Mozilla guy when I slowly crawl through Cordova Russian translation. Then suddenly MS have initiative with Cordova Tools for VS, they redesign Cordova website (which is great) but completely drop docs website, and say - hey, we can use automatic translation if you want read in your mother tongue. Ironically I speak with MS manager and he was Russian speaking as well. So even if large corps made mistakes, their mistakes can const community contributors. But they are cheap, so who cares...

This person is already a stakeholder, you don't have a choice to add or not add them, you have a choice to include or not include them. And it's a gamble to not include them for this exact reason.

I'm all for keeping stakeholder counts as low as possible but you can't do it by just pretending some of your stakeholders don't exist, that's no good and in my experience, usually ends exactly like this.


It's really sad when seeing this incident, and then looking at the larger picture of FOSS volunteer work and seeing that there's no one to replace the old guard once they retire out. The programmers of old never seemed to realize that volunteer work is only done when you're in a position of privrledge, and less people these days have that.

Mix that with incidents like this and you basically are seeing the real time stagnation of open source contributions. You'll only contribute if you work at a top company who chooses to have staff support it.


The only change i really care about here is the ability to see the entire diff (all files) in a single tab


That's nice. Before I was pushing everything to GitHub and opening a draft PR to self-review.


I mean, it's a vs code fork. You can install support for "most" languages, if you mean LSP and syntax highlighting stuff. Most of this won't be managed by Cursor (the company) so i don't think they can list any bc they don't know.

If you mean regarding AI output, it would depend on the model, which for claude and GPT-5 again isn't Cursor-created. So again, they don't know.


ive got such pixelated rectangle SVG's a few times.

also with cursor, "write me a script that outputs X as an svg" it has given me rectangles a few times.
