MCP is eating whatever the next buzzword is until something else or better comes along. The hype cycles with these ancillary things (RAG etc) is so overblown compared to what actually makes it into practice and production. I would use MCP

This used to work but new thinking models made this unnecessary for the most part.

what? you have a multitenant system with isolation between users not within a user. OpenAI has literally been working on "memory" and context across everything you have done, they obviously are storing and retrieving recent contex

There is nothing about this that you can call it "ai-native" -its just another visual editor (amongst which i've seen like 5+ from YC).

This doesn't tell me anything about how you actually solve the problem in a value-add way. There's no technological insight? Are you just putting this behind an API (adding more latency). The thing about memory is for non academi

talented and smart folks for sure but can't not notice how much luck it is especially because its like 100% just better models. Windsurf raised a ton of money and then said they pivoted which they had millions raised to just do somethi

idiotic comment. This is literally a training mission - not following an order is not disobeying this is clearly failure of instructor who was not ready to take over. This is a common pattern in like almost any other training situation.

Not really thinking discretionary goods are going to see a boon from tariffs. People buy a lot of things primarily because they are cheap/affordable which is why outsourcing and global/trade has benefits for consumers. There&#x2

the guiding promise of AI was able to figure out unstructured data. Manually crafting prompts and description examples for tools is a step orthogonal to progress. Searching for docs, great now you have 1000 tools saying they do same thing

shhhh - that's the big announcement for next year - the "Agnostic" General Interface (AGI) ... works with any endpoint no more lengthy MCP or A2A setup!

This is an incredibly poor take - curious as to how you just completely made up that ridiculous claim? Ironic as well that you think letters of recommendation matter for college admissions when they are perfunctory for probably > 95% of

um - I would. Colleges don't want to get panned for hiring a scam artist which is exactly what this is. Unlike VC where that skill is slightly revered. The app is fake - at best its puffery, and the essay was littered with grammatica

In GCP there are many tier-1 services where that is not even possible. It's also definitely gotten way easier to do this using IaC etc.

The over engineering here is commendable for something that provides most likely marginal value whilst still needing more api calls to summarize everything you do.

why does perplexity exist anymore? They were one of anthropic's biggest customers and had been finetuning claude models for search for a while.

That is insane. AWS has more complicated policies, GCP literally lacks ability to even have easy security posture in many cases.

Find it disappointing that even on HN people seems to blindly parrot manufactured outrage. Do you really think, nay have you ever tried to look a little deeper than surface to see just how preposterous all around the idea is in terms of ac

I would not define ChatGPT as a wrapper, anything where you are doing actual training/learning and updating weights is by most persons definition, not a wrapper. Just injecting stuff into the context or using RAG is a wrapper because

kinda surprising to see basically just LLM wrappers still getting funded/interest. Neat idea obviously and nice to have, but that's sort of it. Fundamentally misses mark on what you can do already without AI (running tests on you

Funny enough this is almost a canonical example of data leakage and the incorrect (or extremely extrapolated) assertions that AI can solve what seems like majorly important and valuable tasks. There are 2 very pertinent observations needed

A great litmus test for BS is when you find more articles written in the past week about something that happened 10+ years ago and all the armchair experts come out of the woodwork. This issue was basically asked and answered, and in the t

There was a truck that crashed on bridge right next to lincoln memorial and then veered off roadway into bridge, and both were deceased. Its very cold in DC right now and an airplane crashing is much more catastrophic.

you're looking at it from economic theory not from stock market. NVIDIA's insane valuation right now was based on an almost exponential increase in demand for more and more of it. It's priced in that NVIDIA will continue th

Abhorrently bad take and misses the biggest reason that documentation usually is a second class citizen, and that is because your code is law, and code and tests are coupled, while documentation is not (thats why there is such huge push fo
