I have never had a problem using cli tools intead of mcp. If you add a little list of the available tools to the context it's nearly the same thing, though with added benefits of e.g. being able to chain multiple together in one tool c

Not all that different from Musk buying Twitter. Happens pretty often with private equity as a buyer.

Is it also possible that crackme solutions were already in the training data?

I’m not sure it’s possible to conclude what hey actually believes from public statements. I do not trust him to tell the truth about anything related to AI.

Washington Post tried cheap "day pass" subscriptions and they didn't really work. Publishers already relying on subscription revenue need to be careful: some portion of the people already paying $20/mo could save a lot b

I assume it was more about dollars and cents than pretensions. Scroll was plausible as a replacement for ad network revenue, but at $5/month it can't come close to robust subscription or premium ad revenue. NYT subscription is mor

I agree Scroll seemed very promising but I'm not sure how successful they were. Did they provide more income than ads from subscription fees ? Meeting that goal while burning investors money is less impressive. Scroll also used a brow

I like Apple News too, though they are walking a bit of a tightrope with their publishing partners which is why you can't just click a link to wsj.com/blahblah and have it open in Apple News, and you can't really just browse

I'd encourage you to ask a recording artist how they like the arrangement they have with Spotify. But also, yeah, I do think the streaming financial incentives affect what music gets written and produced. Just not necessarily anything

I think this is even harder to make work than straightforward micropayments with crypto or paypal or similar. Is it the same subscription fee no matter what publications I read or how many articles? (If it varies directly based on what I&#x

This does not seem to reckon with the many, MANY times this has been tried and failed. (The LinkedIn post at least acknowledges attempts that "did fail in the 90s and 2000s" and quickly waves them away.) There have been at least a

Is the idea that you could decide from the envelope whether you want to even bother fetching the message? Besides that I'm not sure I see the advantage

You assume that internet standards are prescriptivist; that the document describes how it is to be implemented. In practice it's often descriptivist, with the standards documents playing catch-up with how things are actually going in p

Without vague handwaving, why do you think they would do that?

Genuinely not sure what you're suggesting

How would that even work? What if the seemingly clean buyer sells it to someone else scammy?

How would you generate a picture of Noun + Noun in the first place in order to train the LLM with what it would look like? What's happening during that 1 estimated second?

It's an interesting time for sure and I'm not clairvoyant but I really don't think "we won't need developers because business people will just vibe code their own apps" is coming any time soon (or possibly ever

Software got easier to develop, but we just came up with more problems to solve with software. The new tools didn't shrink demand for COTS enterprise software - it grew massively since the 90s!

I don't really agree with this. Simple CRUD app sure, but we're nowhere near being able to vibe code even a relatively low-complexity enterprise SaaS product. If it's got customer data in it and/or you're making imp

Flying without ID just gets you the full patdown treatment. It’s not like they’re tracking down people to vouch for you.

Probably more glad that people are paying subscription fees to do digital assistant stuff... without them having to directly provide the assistant interface. That way they won't be directly blamed for the wave of hacked accounts from p

I would be surprised tbh. Anthropic does not exactly act like they're constrained by infra costs in other areas, and noticeably degrading a product when you're in tight competition with 1 or 2 other players with similar products s
