I use netguard and forbid network access by default for all apps. Mildly annoying for apps that need network access as I have to approve, but it's worth it.

Haven't encountered that yet. But I always try to be extra careful and also look for the thinnest ones I can find. Seems like a product niche right there. Rigid, thin, non-conductive picks.

Plastic dental picks work great for cleaning USB-C ports.

I love netguard. Some apps refuse to work without network access, but most work fine. The lack of ads is great.

They really should just let me spoof all the permissions and associated data for apps if I don't want them to have the access.

The University of Florida (Gainesville, FL), has a small nuclear reactor on campus. My mom always talked about it when I was young as she worked in the nuclear engineering department. I just checked and it's still active. Apparently it

The absurdity of this response is astounding. As it's clear you have no actual interest is an honest discussion I'll just drop off here and leave you to your echo chamber.

It's likely because I use DNS-level blocking for a lot of junk and their "widget failed to load" was likely caught in that "junk" list. And the "widget" loader is badly (on purpose?) behaved and blanks the

To get this out of the way, you are an unpleasant person, but that doesn't mean you should be ignored though, so I'll reply. > you couldn't technically point to anything to support your statements, but instead had to rever

Horizontal scaling of remote MCP Servers is something the spec is sadly lacking any recognition around. If you've done work in this space, bravo. I've been using a message bus to decouple the HTTP servers from the MCP request hand

by lsaferite 11mo ago
If you are writing a bespoke Agent with a constrained set of tools known in advance, MCP is a detriment. All it will do is introduce complexity, fragility, and latency. If you have that nice Agent and suddenly marketing "needs" it

by lsaferite 11mo ago
Wouldn't the answer to this be to have the agent generate a new materialized workflow though? You already presumably have automated the agent's ability to create these workflows based off some prompting and a set of MCP Servers.
104.
by lsaferite 11mo ago
How so? The protocol doesn't obfuscate things. Your agent can easily expose the entire MCP conversation, but generally just exposes the call and response. This is no different than any other method of providing a tool for the LLM to ca

You've twice asserted that "the devs get nothing". Can you please explain that? Edit: I tried reading that link, but it loads and a few seconds later it is replaced with a "widget failed to load" error that removes

I have similar feelings about the go community. I like go on the whole, but certain aspects are atrocious. The 'go community' is strangely cult-like and complaining about the language is generally poorly received. As a result I ve

I don't normally upvote snark, but... Bravo. Elitism is it's own form of bullying and needs to be treated as such. I don't particularly like large swaths of humanity, but I also try hard not to be elitist towards them either.

This is the exact issue in most grids TBH. Not sure I've seen one that has properly priced fixed costs with properly priced usage costs. My grid has the split, but the costs seem out of proportion. I'd say if the concern is low-in

I never understand how people can't see that private companies have a "must make a profit" motive while a non-captured government has a "must help citizenry" motive. Essential services being privately owned means th

I think my wording was unclear. I've run into several products doing this or something similar already. I was more trying to say I think this methodology is going to be the most likely winner of how coding agents are integrated into de

I'd say this method of coding agent interaction is likely a strong contender for integrating coding agents into teams. You start with a really well defined ticket and a good source of relevant documentation for the project then set the

Can we throw some form of ranked choice voting in there as well? As someone unhappy with either major party, I want the ability to vote what I actually want with a backup vote indicating what I absolutely don't want under any circumsta

It's beyond possible that the LLM Chat Agent has tools to self manage context. I've written tools that let an agent compress chunks of context, search those chunks, and uncompress them at will. It'd be trivial to add a tool t

Can you name one other chat service that uses it? Does it allow interop between the chat services? Publishing the spec for your proprietary API does not make it an industry standard.
118.
by lsaferite 1y ago
You realize those ESPs use and support the industry standard open protocols under the hood, right? Slack is 100% proprietary and does not use industry standard protocols for interchange or federation. These are not even remotely comparable.

Cybertruck for one. I searched and found several, some without any manual backup. That's crazy to me.
