This is awesome! The only limiter here is the resolution, I think this is fantastic for cellular level organelles but it doesn't quite get down to the same resolution something like x-ray diffraction does.

There's a huge trade off between resolution and scale that makes it hard to determine things like complex molecular dynamics and how those dynamics influence the broader functions of the cell.

That said, excited for more images like this! More data at that scale is always a good thing for researchers.

That's good to hear, I might have jumped a little too quickly in my opinion. It's a bit of a Pavlovian response at this point seeing a product I very much love embrace a giant chat window as a UX redesign haha.

I would love to see more features on the roadmap that are more aligned with users like us that really embrace the Cursor 2 style with the code itself being the focal point. I'm sure there's a lot you can do there to help preserve code mental models when working with agents that don't hide the code behind a chat interface.

Yeah that's the disconnect though right? Even with the best frontier models, you need to do a lot of system design work, planning, and reviewing before you can let these models run.

These models are infinitely more effective when piloted by a seasoned software engineer and that will always be the case so long as these models require some level of prompting to function.

Better prompts come from more knowledgeable users, and I don't think we can just make a better model to change that.

The idea we're going to completely replace software engineers with agents has always been delusional, so anchoring their roadmap to that future just seems silly from a product design perspective.

It's just frustrating Cursor had a good attitude towards AI coding agents then is seemingly abandoning that for what's likely a play to appease investors who are drunk on AI psychosis.

Edit: This comment might have come off more callous than I intended. I just really love Cursor as a product and don't want to see it get eaten by the "AI is going to replace everything!" crowd.

Man, I wish they'd keep the old philosophy of letting the developer drive and the agent assist.

I feel like this design direction is leaning more towards a chat interface as a first class citizen and the code itself as a secondary concern.

I really don't like that.

Even when I'm using AI agents to write code, I still find myself spending most of my time reading and reasoning about code. Showing me little snippets of my repo in a chat window and changes made by the agent in a PR type visual does not help with this. If anything, it makes it more confusing to keep the context of the code in my head.

It's why I use Cursor over Claude Code, I still want to _code_ not just vibe my way through tickets.
