If I transmit SOAP or JSONRPC over http, both of which use the response payload itself to contain whether the request was an error or not, what should the status be in case of error ? I jsonrpc I think 200 OK is correct with an error payloa

This was entertaining and informative, the best kind of info. But one puzzle remains - why did the author keep mentioning slide rules as a tool that would reveal the non-randomness of some number series ? I don’t get that part.

regarding that post-update script, can you explain? I would think you'd want to cd /home/kragen/public_html/sw/dev3 git update-server-info git pull ..in that order. And I wouldn't th

That’s a curious approach. Why would you use both? Why not just use the more reliable dependable option for all purposes?

Sounds like a research project, they're sharing it out to get some feedback and get a discussion going. How is this different than Google's Jules thing? Both sort of experimental exploratory things.

Judging actions taken at the time with the benefit of what we know now, is not a fair way to assess. Sure we could say it was obvious they were pushing lots of pills. But this was a legal product. Someone working for an NFL team trying to s

> Lifelong exposure to cholesterol/ApoB mediates atherosclerosis I would normally interpret that to mean, lifelong elevated levels of cholesterol/ApoB _decreases_ atherosclerosis. Is that what you meant?

> Nothing stops Microsoft.... Nothing stops Google... Not really true. They have skin in the game. They have legitimate revenue at stake. If they betray trust on such a scale, and we find out, they'll be out of business.

When I was growing up, we did not have a key to lock our house. I was a "latch key kid", both parents worked, but I never had a key. I remember meeting someone who locked their front door as a matter of course, and thinking that

Step 1 sounds like npm, to me. and Step 2.... ? yeah, we know. "Write your own code" won't scale. Anyway that horse is out of the barn. We need better SBOM tools.

> Before AI... yes. Previously that idiot had to write code. Now it's the LLM that is directing invocation of these functions. And the LLM is a coding prodigy with the judgment of a 3 year old kid.

Not an XML bomb, but... at the protocol level, AFAIK, MCP allows the server to change its list of tools and what they do, and the description of what they do, at any point. The chatbot when it starts up, calls "tools/list" a

At least a few of the current coding agents have mechanisms that do what you describe.

This is an interesting distillation of the article; focusing on _how to use_ social media depending on who you are, but dismissing or de-emphasizing the main point of the piece, which is, what is social media doing to our social discourse?
