This is how use cursor 99% of the time. The other 1% is in zed.

what happened around jan this year(26) that caused such a climb in usage?

Openclaw

i like ollama, mostly because the cli is pretty nice. its desktop app has stupid choices like if a model can support tools then the ui should give me the "search" option but it only shows for cloud models.

i have ran lmstudio for a while but i don't really use local models that much other than to mess about.

You can also use OpenWebUI locally which should give you a nice friendly UX once you set it up.

"OpenAI’s GPT-5" is ambiguous. Does that mean GPT-5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4? Does it include the full model, or the nano/mini variants?

GPT-5 is not ambiguous, it's the official name of the model that released in August last year.

> All evaluations were done in March - August 2025.

It was called just GPT-5 at that point in time.

I’m using safe house [0] its a bash wrapper around sandbox-exec

> Sessions are stored as trees

that is actually really nice

I do this too with the chatgpt mac app. It has a "pop out" feature it binds to option + space then i just ask away.

So what sets T3 above codex ui,opencode,Claude and the other GUI projects for this?

i think the only real strategy is that people take a hit to their standard of living but i don't think anyone will sign up for that.

It would be a lot easier if the global population stabilized at around 1 billion. It's conceivable we could get down to that by bringing 3rd world areas up to 1st world standards in terms of women's rights, access to birth control, education, standard of living, etc., since developed nations have had declining birth rates for quite a while. But it's not a cheap or popular idea & would take several generations anyway.

A lot of things would be easier if 90% of people suddenly disappeared, but there is absolutely no sane scenario in which we actively chase such an unbelievably low population count.

The birth rates are declining in large part because of the expenses and time required to raise a kid these days. If life was perfectly easy for anyone to have a child, then the population increases. So, what - you’re going to kill extra children? Forcibly sterilize most? Purposely make life difficult so people lose interest?

This makes no sense at all.

I didn't propose any of those things you mentioned & am strongly opposed to them. If I were proposing anything, it would be more along the lines of ending theocracies, increasing equality, access to education, birth control & abortion services, & creating a social safety net so people don't have to rely on having as many kids as possible to assist in subsistence farming. But like I said, none of this is a popular goal - especially not among billionaires or the global south - so my comment was more of an idle musing than anything resembling a proposal.

I know you didn't propose those things - I'm saying they are going to be required in order to force the population to stay at an unreasonably low 1 billion people on Earth forever

They don’t need to sign up for it. It will happen regardless.

They'll just continue blaming immigrants.

The immigrants who fled from the natural disasters in their country of origin caused by climate change.

its just a different attack surface for safari they would need to blackbox attack the browser which is much harder than what they did her

What? The js engine in Safari is open source, they can put Claude to work on it any time they want.

Here's a rough break down, formatted best I can for HN:

  Safari (closed source)
   ├─ UI / tabs / preferences
   ├─ macOS / iOS integration
   └─ WebKit framework (open source) ~60%
        ├─ WebCore (HTML/CSS/DOM)
        ├─ JavaScriptCore (JS engine)
        └─ Web Inspector

There's much more to a browser than JS engine.

They picked to most open-source one.

WebKit is not open source?

Sure there are closed source parts of Safari, but I'd guess at least 90% of safari attack surface is in WebKit and it's parts.

In many cases, the difference between a bug and an attack vector lies in the closed source areas.

This is going to be the case automating attack detection against most programs where a portion is obscured.

>In many cases, the difference between a bug and an attack vector lies in the closed source areas.

You say many cases, let's see some examples in Safari.

However, Firefox also needs to use the closed source OS when running on Windows or macOS.

There are also WebKit-based Linux browsers, which obviously do not use closed-source OS interfaces.

My pessimistic guess on reasoning is that they suspected Firefox to have more tech debt.

Apple is not the kind of company that typically does these things, even if the entire Safari is open source.
