   The productivity gains I'm seeing using Cursor are so striking that I completely lost all faith that any of the negative LLM productivity/quality studies have any validity. I am not an outlier, if any of them were correct I would not be seeing these improvements. This is not some murky questionable finding, it is immediate and obvious with use.

     I wrote a couple smart contracts with AI assist the other day. Not only was the code correct, it followed all best practices.

     @Rocket You will still see mistakes but if you know what you are doing you will correct them nearly instantly and keep moving without losing momentum.

     @meeper I think Cursor has an intermediate service that mediates it somehow, would need to replicate that too

     @sun@shitposter.world Yeah but it should just be a mixture of agents of llms for oarticular tasks ig, like gpt4 for docs etc
     
     
     Getting code auto complete should just be a prompt with given context

     @meeper I honestly don't know how it works so good considering that it always seems to keep the code syntactically correct even when wrong.

     @meeper llama.cpp allows you to give it a regular grammar to conform the output to, I wish every god damn LLM tool had this but none of the services do to my knowledge.

     I guess it somehow tests the snippets using a static syntax checker and then uses its output to correct it, standard practice for a lot of llm code stuff is to fix invalid code by reading error messages

     @sun@shitposter.world Interesting, I guess it uses standard prompting to do that, but somethinng fancy could be making a basic lexer to test syntax against but that maybe very prone to errors

     @meeper yeah I suspect their intermediate step must be doing some heavy lifting but who knows

     @meeper I tried AI before I picked up Cursor, to write a stub NES ROM in assembler and it worked.

     @sun@shitposter.world wonder how well they work for systems programming, I want to start making a hobby-os in 3-4 months so if I don't procrastinate that well see
     
     (honestly a hectic year for me as Ill effectively be paying for a decade worth of complacency and procrastination)

     @meeper could be. I was rigging it for a specific mapper but maybe there was some snippets it picked up for that specific case

     @sun@shitposter.world thats a routine code snippet thing, LLMs should be very good at that
