I'm pretty impressed with Cursor: I've successfully asked it to perform codebase transforms in English, and it's worked! E.g. "Replace all calls foo(..., true) with foo_immediate(...) define a foo_immediate function". I'm still reading the diff and checking tests -- it's still AI after all.

Using GitHub's Copilot to automatically generate descriptions of code in English! Some of the examples are really impressive, others less so. The regex example is particularly compelling.

Reports of a new hardware bug in Intel CPUs, exploiting the Visualization of Internal Signals Architecture: https://hardwaresfera.com/noticias/hardware/se-ha-descubierto-una-vulnerabilidad-muy-grave-en-los-procesadores-de-intel/ My Spanish is rubbish, and I can't find any English coverage yet. Looks like it's from a recent conference and they've given 90 days to patch.
