Perhaps you would enjoy the rest of the tooling, that may be useful in scientific contexts or in books discussing programming languages. Or perhaps you would also want to publish in PDF, like for an actual print book. What kind of issues di

Typst html support is already available as an experimental feature, so e.g. EPUB probably isn't too much work in addition to that (as I understand it, it's basically zipped HTML with some metadata). It's also in the roadmap:

Should there be sound? I think sounds would be essential for this. Running on Linux Firefox.

I think if they did it, then attackers would be able to iterate their attack against their own project, and once it passes the filters they could deploy for real. I guess it could work better if it was enabled for only actual attack vectors

I don't have a reflink-able filesystem in this host, but I just tested that echo 2 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches time cp -rl foo bar took 2.6 seconds for 273000 files, so I think it's highly

by _flux 4mo ago
How about cp --reflink? Supported by btrfs, bcachefs and zfs. It's quite not as fast as subvolumes in btrfs, but it should be plenty fast. This should actually be a feature for git itself, if it's not already.

So are you using MCP to do this? I'm not saying MCP or the ways we use it cannot be extended to cover this use case, but my understanding is that nobody does it. But shell/code does, and more.

by _flux 4mo ago
Let's say you have a jq MCP. How do you pass data in and out to/from it without the data also being processed as tokens? That's really my only issue with MCPs. With shell you can pass data from one component to another direct

by _flux 4mo ago
jq cannot be just an MCP, unless it's acceptable that yuo pass all data through the context. If that's not acceptable and you want to have it as tool, then you need some other way to handle the data. I think the basic solution to

by _flux 4mo ago
As far as I know, the only way an MCP can provide you data that doesn't go into the context is by providing URLs to the data, and then the model uses e.g. curl to access that data for data manipulation purposes. You could also return r
73.
by _flux 4mo ago
Hmm, indeed, so maybe I could have all this as an MCP, so I can just easily pass any imaginable data manipulation inside it, and then also have it support calling other MCPs, all inside that one MCP, to avoid filling context with intermedia

Not having access to the shell is a big hindrance. I have my agent access Gitlab and Jira via CLI tools and in so many cases jq or python is used to manipulate or combine the data into a more useful format, making use of pipes and tempora

Virtual terminal is surprisingly capable, it even has word delete feature! And shells have some nice history features which I'm sure would become even more familiar if one had to use them (as I suppose was the case a long time ago), su

by _flux 5mo ago
But they are just convenience features, not in my opinion the defining property. They basically work just the same without them.

On the other hand, there are many elements in the user interface that are not text. In fact, I think it would be quite understandable if one even separated REPLs like bash or octave to be "text user interfaces" while applications

It would be so nice if these "well typed languages" would be able to interact better with each other. Alas, the GC will probably cause some friction, e.g. the ocaml-rs package makes this pretty visible: https://github.c

Many years ago Maemo (the mobile OS from Nokia) had the profile manager (day mode/night mode etc) written in Prolog. To me it seems like it's a very appropriate application for it.

To me it would certainly make sense if the protocol just said "append this text to context window id/sha256", in particular as the data is cached in tensor level in the provider side, so they need to first do that lookup anyw

So, this website being called "Hacker news", means.. ? While hacking is used to to refer to illicit activities, I do actually believe that the same activities can also be performed e.g. on your own devices, or with permission, and

I actually don't think that's possible, if you assume the objects in the video can also shake and the intent is to eliminate only the camera shaking.

by _flux 5mo ago
I think gyroscopic data still can have the edge if it has higher sampling rate than the video: then it could be used for removing blur from individual frames. I also expect purely gyroscopic approach to be much lighter compute-wise.

It clearly seems people have different meanings to the word, then. For example, if I am able to gain root access to a WiFi access point I own, even though the vendor has tried to prevent it, then yes, I would call it a hack. To me, it doesn

I have no trouble believing it is better :), but it is not as easy to mirror a Github issues, or CI configuration, to Forgejo or back as it is to handle the git side. I think Radicle is interesting. It doesn't solve the CI bit, at leas

Often I find LLMs doing multiple steps to achieve some goals (e.g. do certain operations against JIRA or Gitlab), and if the LLM work seems useful, I instruct it to create a tool to achieve the task more directly and revise skill data to ma

Just because something is good at finding bugs, it may not find all the bugs. Finding a bug only tells you there was one bug you found, it doesn't tell if the rest is solid.

by _flux 5mo ago
In addition LLMs also make bugs, and debugging assembler is more difficult, wasting more tokens, thus more money. A very big practical reason is also that assembler code would eat context like no other.
