AI startup Cursor raises $2.3 billion funding round at $29.3 billion valuation Cursor built a popular AI coding tool that helps software developers generate, edit and review code.

Cursor just announced it’s crossed $1B in annualized revenue along with a fundraising round of $2.3B raised at a $29.3B valuation.

Everytime I get impressed by how much AI companies are making, I’m even more blown away by their spending. Still needing to raise money at $1B a year in revenue is wild

Wanted everyone to see this 🤷‍♂️

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

Cowards

The biggest unforced error of the left is being shocked every time the right is hypocritical.

"You say people shouldn't do x, but you do x yourself!"

Of course they do. They're very open about their belief that those with privilege should get special rules. Why are you still surprised???

Apple's lawyers filed their response to the Citizen Suit: two motions to dismiss, two requests for judicial notice, 17 exhibits, & over 1k pages - that says my complaints are meritless; I'm insane, poor; & incompetent; & their fab is awesome & I'm jealous.

There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

Reincarnation? 🤔

The United States has a dying malignant narcissist as president whose plan now seems to be taking the entire world to Hell with him.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

I have a very bad feeling about this...

You don't need to be abused. Only pushed and stretched every so often.
You don't excel at sports if you don't push yourself beyond your limits regularly. You won't excel at anything without stretching yourself.
Success is usually preceded by failure.

I believe many people are struggling as adults because they have never been uncomfortable, be it physical or emotional.
The crust of their sandwiches was always off.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

Got jbang native image build.

Now starts allot of testing/verification.

Don’t want to break users updating nor give up on jvm mode on platforms without native image.
