@sjvn I wish. I would say that the current state of #AI enabled software engineering tools like #windsurf , #cursor, and any other that supports the integration with #mcp services do not come close to this level of security.

Oh no. It's true: The mouse cursor image on Wayland is delayed by one frame. 😭

Great explaination by @lina: https://lobste.rs/s/oxtwre/hard_numbers_wayland_vs_x11_input_latency#c_edq7tn

A failed attempt to fix this in @gnome: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4249

It sounds like there is going to be a new kernel API that would allow updating the cursor independently and therefore earlier, but I couldn't find anything about that.

Very thoughtful analysis by @grimalkina of the experimental design and results from the recent METR study on “the impact of early-2025 AI on experience open-source developer productivity”.

“The users who choose Cursor are hardcore vibe addicts. They are tech incompetents who somehow BSed their way into a developer job. They cannot code without a vibe coding bot.”

I see no lie.

As part of my job, I have to evaluate AI tools. Part of that evaluation is pushing them to their limit. Today, I realised Cursor has a setting where if you critique its work enough, it goes silent and refuses to apply changes.

It's a moody junior dev whose overconfidence and bravado quickly turn to surly silence when their work is questioned. The happy, helpful (and frequently wrong) AI is gone, replaced by a useless one with a bad attitude that won't make it past the next performance review.

Christ. I'm used to managing engineers, but I draw the line at managing AIs.
