To make it sustainable. That's about the only reason, which given the recent TailwindCSS stories, isn't necessarily a bad reason.

Not to mention that when you Google "SQL Studio", all you see are MS SSMS results.

I wouldn’t be so sure about the LLM not helping. The LLM doesn’t need to know about the edge cases itself. Instead, you’d be relying on other client implementations knowing about the edge cases and the LLM finding the info in those code bas

Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. It may be worthwhile to at least have Claude (or whatever LLM you favor) to look at the other libraries and compare it to yours. It doesn’t have to write the code, but it could point out areas&#x2

I was initially expecting the horse to move after each turn. As it is, this is a logic game, similar to what I'd expect to see in the NYT Games app. Quite entertaining, but something that you could look at and reason about to solve. Bu

I had the same thoughts (high-energy). I would have worded it slightly differently -- more engaging posts. You could measure in two ways: 1) raw score for the post. Look at the distribution of total scores and remove the low scoring posts.

The Fermilab herd was always one of the highlights of visiting there. I always thought that was a really good use for the space inside the accelerator, a nice version of nature and science coexisting. I have it in my head that we used to be

I had a similar issue, but with Jekyll. I had a customized theme and some update along the way broke everything. So, I very much agree with a sibling comment about not needing to update static site generators and it’s not just a Hugo thing.

Because of their existing product lines, I look at this more like marketing or market research. I'm pretty confident that this will actually be made. For one, the company actually has experience making and selling devices. This is a bi

I’m about the same. I’ve had one Java project going for over 10 years. It’s a collection of utilities that I use for work everyday that has grown substantially over the years. It is a CLI program that runs in my Mac, Linux servers and Linux

Silly question -- for the older movies, have you seen them before? If one of the arguments is that the people doing the sound mixing know the audio/words so they are oblivious to the difficulty that a new viewer will have understanding

I think you're partially right, but I don't think being an AI leader is the main motivation -- that's a side effect. I think it's important to OpenAI to support as many use-cases as possible. Right now, the experience th

I think a good chunk of it has to do with the TVs themselves. I don't have any extra sound system attached to my TV, so I'm working with whatever sound comes out of the TV itself. As TVs get thinner, speakers also get smaller, and

I never worked for Google, but have seen some strange things like bit flips at more modest scales. From the parent description, it looks like defaulting to static binaries is helping to speed up troubleshooting to remove the “this should ne

The assumption when I had open book tests in undergrad was that if you needed the book, you had very little chance of passing the exam. It was useful as a quick reference, but there were too many questions to use for each one — you already

If you follow HN over the course of 24 hours, you’ll see at least 3 major waves. I tend to have an odd sleep schedule, so I’m always amused when I’m online to see which group is currently active. There is an Asian/Australian wave, foll

If Tailscale is installed on your router, then any client will also be able to connect to Tailscale networks. Fo example, if you have a default route back to your home network on the router, any client will also connect through that tunnel

I’m not worried about the LLM getting offended if I don’t write complete sentences. I’m worried about not getting good results back. I haven’t tested this, and so I could be wrong, but I think a better formed/grammatically correct prom

I’ve had some luck with giving the LLM an overview of what I want the final version to do, but then asking it to perform smaller chunks. This is how I’d approach it myself — I know where I’m trying to go, and will implement smaller chunks a

Or it’s a small enough company without an IT department. Think of an SMB where you might know you need to do something (like connect a new store location to the server in your main location’s closet), but don’t know how or can’t afford to h

It’s all just loading data into the context/conversation. Sometimes as part of the chat response the LLM will request for the client do something - read a file, call a tool, etc. The results of which end up back in the context as well.

I think that's part of the pitch here... swapping out Minio for Garage. Both scale a lot more than for just local development, but local dev certainly seems like a good use-case here.

Same. I know I have a couple someplace in a bin. That and another embedded card from the era, but I think it had something like a DIMM footprint. I thought it was also Dallas semi, but I can’t find it or remember what it is though… I rememb

I used to see this is bash scripts all the time. It’s somewhat gone out of favor (along with using long bash scripts). If you had to prompt a user for a password, you’d read it in, use it, then thrash the value. read -p “Password: “ P

I wonder how robust the solder joints are for castellated boards. I’d still imagine that to be a weak point vibration-wise. Definitely easier to automate, but would it be that much more robust? Thinking about those CM sockets and I think th

I’ve never heard it described this way: AGI as similar to human flight. I think it’s subtle and clever - my two most favorite properties. To me, we have both achieved and not human flight. Can humans themselves fly? No. Can people fly in pl

I like the idea of exposing this as a resource. That’s a good idea so you don’t have to wait for a tool call. Is using a resource faster though? Doesn’t the LLM still have to make a request to the MCP server in both cases? Is the idea being

by mbreese 11mo ago
Isn’t that for scraping? I think this is for injecting (or making that possible) to add an MCP front end to a site. Different use cases, I think.

I think this is a good idea in general, but perhaps a bit too simple. It looks like this only works for static sites, right? It then performs a JS fetch to pull in the html code and then converts it (in a quick and dirty manner) to markdown

by mbreese 11mo ago
I think the idea here is that the web_fetch is restricted to the target site. I might want to include my documentation in an MCP server (from docs.example.com), but that doesn’t mean I want the full web available.
