It's pretty hard to be thorough in censorship because humans are good at spotting patterns and can easily see the masked profanity. Ex. f0u0c0k

No disagreements there. My goal is to make this THE BEST list (of all, if any) out there. As much as I see AI taking over handling variations, it'll still need an exhaustive source of truth about what's what and I really think I'd be able to provide that with this API.

In the original Sim City, having your city entirely use tracks instead of roads was superior because there was no traffic congestion from tracks

And less pollution from cars.

Damn, what an LLM roast. Smarterchild couldn't even recall past 3 messages

Is a prayer ban really needed here? Seems like a lack of enforcing existing laws, such as blocking traffic, is the issue here. Seeing people pray in public is weird to me, but if they aren't obstructing, what's the harm?

In the US, we have a "See you at the pole" prayer event every year where people gather around American flag poles and pray, which seems like a nice way to gather together as a community to meditate and reflect.


I'm more inclined to believe the person you responded to given how often I saw the AHA heart check logo on some questionable cereals in the 90s.

Yeah, these cereals have soluble fiber...with a bunch of sugar.


The assertion of GP is incorrect about AHA not opposing smoking but I can’t find information about their historical sponsors.

The cereal thing is problematic but there wasn’t good data about this at first (which, itself, was due to corporate lobbying/grant-making)


It's hard to have reflection and discourse when both parties can be so negative and polarizing.


Okay, I'll delve deeper. You're talking about one thing, the models, which Cursor has a bunch available to choose from. Yes, I agree practically no difference there in terms of what junk is being spit out.

But code review is really important to me and nothing comes close to Cursor in regards to reviewing the code the LLM generates. I can keep the good parts, modify or throw out the bad parts. I can go back to a checkpoint easily when things get really bad. What solution comes even close to that? Cursor nails this really well. Claude code acolytes tell me to just use git commands. Yeah, no thanks.

Vibe coding? Yes, no meaningful difference.


Cursor’s killer feature is that you can use it to edit diffs or restore a known good version? That is basic version control functionality. I understand what you’re referring to (I use Zed, which also has an interface for partially applying AI-generated code changes), but it’s very weird to me that this basic functionality would be considered some kind of competitive advantage.


same for VSCode Copilot. it's a basic feature at this point

i guess people just don't try other tools often


> nothing comes close to X

you lost me here because this is based on your opinion and impressions, not data. How do you know nothing comes close?

The PR experience you describe is available in several options and setups. Different strokes for different folks, your choice is not superior by any meaningful measure other than your own preferences


I don't. I'm fishing for alternatives.


There are better ways to ask for alternative options and experiences


Everyone starts with some building blocks, some much bigger than others in Cursor's case.


Indeed. I was browsing a Nintendo fan site I made in 1998 on archive.org when I was just 11 years old. I don't remember every detail about making it, but my brain had no problem stitching all the pieces it did retain back together.

On the other hand, I do have some Gandalf "I have no memory of this place" moments for other things.


Yep, Goldeneye.
