Say you have several MCPs installed on a coding agent. One is a web search MCP and the other can run shell commands. Your project uses an AI-related package created by a malicious person who knows than an AI will be reading their docs. They

Feel the need to push back against the predictable nay-saying in here. Announcing with Rust in the title is not because of a hype train, it's a way to communicate that this bundler is in the new wave of transpilers/bundlers which

i get the sense that the solution to this problem is more use of LLMs (running critical feedback and review in a loop) rather than less use of LLMs. If you can build good tooling around current kinda dumb LLMs now to lower that number, we w

my uneducated guess is that the partnership is because Vox has a lot of explainers written and used to embed these little factoid explainer cards in their articles which are probably useful from a data point of view also - I think this is f

A lot of software doesn't need to be good. I could see using this to prototype internal tools fast. Also, it doesn't need to be good yet - whoever has the best tooling infrastructure when the models get better will win.

"Benefiting humanity" would be letting profits stay the same but giving an equal UBI salary to people who lose their jobs to this stuff. In its current state, the main thing AI does is hollow out the middle class. Who has access t

The main selling point of Signal is privacy. That's basically the only reason it exists - without it, why not just use WhatsApp, Messenger, Snapchat, etc? What is the usability concern for no longer needing a phone number?

Yeah, privacy is weird and cringe! Let's call 'em "privacy-bros" or maybe "encryption-bros" to signify that they are low status (I don't want to be like them, ew!)

It seems obvious to me when he outright mentions loving his great-grandfather's diaries and that the obsession didn't start until he moved in with his grandmother. But yes, it's speculation. I would rather ask a lot of questi

The 40s style probably reminds her of her father. Kids are smart and can pick up on that even if they don't fully understand what's going on.

I've had similar feelings as that essay. If you ask me, it doesn't have anything to do with my point. Also, it's good to make sure kids who exhibit strange behavior are not adapting and contorting themselves to fit unhealthy

When I see this I worry that he's become codependent or "parentified" by his grandmother and is becoming the kind of man who would have been her father or her peer when she was younger. Not sure we should be celebrating this

They were very transparent that a purely non-profit structure wouldn't be able to pay for the amount of compute required. Their progress lately was a direct result of the restructuring and investment.
