Interesting - now that I think about it, feeding Claude my particular Xcode theme from VS code to replicate in Zed, the color tones were quite far off how it looked in cursor. I don't know enough about color rendering to know why that is, but I feel you!

You could solve this fairly easily by giving an LLM the json definition of your sublime text theme and just transforming it onto a zed spec theme? No need for screenshots.

I've recently been dipping my toes into k8s / kustomize / helm, and I recently had a situation where having a base deployment yml template that I wanted to reuse across various deployments. I had a look at Helm and I was frankly shocked how bad the templating was with Go templates, it was close to unreadable and felt very brittle!

On the contrary, anecdotally, myself and every engineer I know have switched fully from cursor to claude code since the start of the year. I now use zed with cc. I personally could not stand the buggy mess and constant UI changes of cursor. It’s also not good value in terms of claude tokens compared to claude code.

If you're referring to speaking in English - in general I think there is a huge amount of flexibility for making mistakes in English. I'm a native speaker, I am so used to hearing various levels of English from different nationalities that i'm almost blind to it. I much prefer to hear someones true voice even if there are a few inaccuracies, so much of a person's personality is conveyed through their quirks and mistakes.

For one, it has dynamic memory allocation and is much faster and resource efficient. Drop in replacement. It also has a rather nice UI,

I don't really want to discuss politics off the bat of my purely 'for your information' comment, but I think you're grossly misrepresenting Ezra Klein's worldview and not listening to the nuances of his opinion, and instead having an intense emotional reaction to his words. Take a step back and try to think a bit more rationally here.

Also your prediction of them making a JD vance republican pivot is extremely misguided. I would happily bet my life savings against that prediction.

I am creative and have released music with a large listenership. The other person in my original comment is a designer by trade. Anything else dismissive you’d like to say or do you enjoy leaving snarky comments?

Let me tell you, I wish I was paid by OpenAI, but unfortunately I get paid a very average wage in a country where OpenAI do not operate.

You can look at my account history and see that there is absolutely no indication that I am paid for, or a bot, I just happen to be relatively enthusiastic and bullish on AI capabilities. My account is 5 years old.

I do not think this product from OpenAI will be good for the world, I think it is mostly a very bad thing. I just think it is impressive.

I encourage you to try make the most generous interpretation of my comment and try to consider that other people can have sometimes wildly different experiences to you, however hard that is to believe. The alternative is to accuse people of being paid for commentors, which benefits no one and just isolates you further.

To add more nuance to my original comment, yes if you look closely at the videos it is clear that they are AI generated, but as I was watching I 'lapsed' out of attention a few times and had to remind myself what I was looking at was generated. If I stopped and rewound a few times, yes of course I could notice the slop. But my point is that it's the first time I have lost the "I am watching slop" thought while watching AI video.

Hope that clears things up for you.

Edit: I just looked through your comment history, you are an extreme AI perma bear, and that's ok, that doesn't mean you're a paid for anti-ai lobbyist. Also every single comment you have made is extremely negative and inflammatory.

I encourage you to revise your communication methods and try to practice some kindness.

Anecdotally, I forgot multiple times that I was watching AI generated content, and my partner tuning in and out of it asked me a few times if we were watching the demo (as opposed to the real video). We are both pretty sensitive to slop too. I think something has flipped here.
