Doubt that would matter today. How much things have changed in such a short time.

Same for the reference to developers taking longer to complete tasks with AI. That's absolutely not the finding of that study.

Counterpoint: if you think being a good manager boils down to writing a really great performance assessment, you already suck at your job.

You're not wrong, but you are being pretty pedantic about it. I consider myself pedantic in most circumstances but this one clearly doesn't bother me.

There are thousands of ready-made MCP servers hosted on https://smithery.ai

I just thought the inversion was fun. A lot of MCPs are basically wrappers around APIs, hence the comment. But certainly not all of them.
38.
by jredwards 1y ago
Well, that's the worst take I've seen all week, and it's Friday. Agent LLMs are able to retrieve additional context and MCP servers give them specific, targeted tools to do so.

Or... it's a tool to expose APIs to LLMs.

That's a pretty solid point.

Lots of actors are involved in politics or activism. Including Seth Rogen.

Two actors have been Governor of California. One has been president. The current president is a reality TV star. We've already had a professional comedian as a US Senator. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch, but I think we've

I've been kicking around idea for a similar open source project, with the caveats that: 1. I'd like the backend to be configured for any LLM the user might happen to have access to (be that the API for a paid service or something

I've found this a tractable approach, but sometimes not enough. My escalation pattern with cursor looks like this: 1. Document everything that you're doing and update a core architecture or technical doc that the LLM can read. 2.

https://www.quiverquant.com/ is another one I've followed. They do other stuff as well, but they cover congressional trades. An example: https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/

The first time I heard this, it took me about four seconds to realize that it was an anagram of his last name. You'd think anyone reading his books might have pondered that for a minute.

Trump has long done the same thing. His alter ego was John Baron.

I'm not sure I understand what alternative measurement you're proposing. How do you measure the combination of a range of disparate goods?

by jredwards 2y ago
I think the combination of malice and incompetence remains the most credible theory: Trump believes that the he/the US has the more powerful position in all of these relationships and wants to impose his will on the rest of the world a

Incredible. Trump is in office for 9 of the top 10 single-day point losses. I know % losses are far more relevant, but it's still baffling the support this guy gets.

That's generally not true. Crashes hurt everybody, but rich people making a killing during the recovery.

Manufacturing is not a good argument. Manufacturing output is at all time highs.

by jredwards 2y ago
It's a very interesting take as a steelman, but not a credible actual reasoning given the source of the policy.
55.
by jredwards 2y ago
US manufacturing output is at an all-time high. It doesn't feel that way because there aren't as many jobs involved. I understand you're not actually arguing this, just speculating, but, "we need to boost manufacturing c

There is someone with the same initials, not with the same name. I saw someone else point out a potential candidate here but I don't recall the exact name.
