MCPs are indeed useless, they're very limited in functionality and frequently struggle with large requests or get wedged in bad states. There is no reason not to use the native API directly.

Then most people would be wrong. A VLIW ISA is a classical example of a superscalar processor without out-of-order execution.

It's already transparent even without out-of-order execution, and pipelining is an entirely different thing than superscalar execution.

Any modern processor has different execution ports specialized in different things and replicated a different number of times, and all of them can execute instructions in parallel. It schedules to these transparently for you, that's kn

it's supposed to work from whatsapp. It's US-only so I could not verify.

None of them lets you have a hosted dedicated agent with real browsing capabilities on the free tier.

I disagree. It matches exactly what I need. Whenever I try to do something with ChatGPT or Gemini, it just refuses to do things citing limitations in its web browsing capabilities. An everyday LLM that can actually fill forms and do stuff f

I mostly fly flights that are less than 2 hours (I'm in Europe). Unfortunately as the crow flies that seems to be closer to 800 miles than 125. I'm in London and the airport itself is already 60 miles away.

Those are all precise and meaningful words that are very useful in software design.

Claude's wording (and knowledge) is based on what competent senior engineers would say.

Both have terrible syntax that make SQL look like the most readable thing ever.

In practice, you hire the most qualified within the pool of people that can reasonably work for you: right to work in the right country, compatible hours, is able to connect socially with the rest of your team, etc.

With Linux I'm used to just being able to fix problems instead of working around them. With macOS I have to reverse engineer their bootloader with radare2 and remove a stupid safety check just to be able to load a driver.

Just checked, by EU law, banks cannot charge more for a SEPA euro transfer than they do for a local transfer within your own country.

SEPA transfers are zero fees by law.

I do put substantial amount of work into reviewing code: that's essentially what my job is. And even if everyone is using the same LLM model, quality varies on lot on who's driving it.

People do not call assemblers compilers, and yet, it's doing most of what the "JIT compiler" is doing.

macOS always had terrible UI and accessibility, it's their trademark feature. I thought that's what people liked about it. Windows emulation did see some improvements with Valve's sponsorship, but I wouldn't really consi

In general Rosetta2 is much better than QEmu, but you do need macOS 26 to get even basic things like AVX2. In general, the model on Mac is that you need to run latest. It's not like you're gonna use it for a production server, the

My M5 pro macbook panics one to two times a week. I narrowed it down to an issue with a thunderbolt-linked ethernet adapter. I reported it about ten times, Apple never replied or addressed it. After a while I decided to take things into my

I don't think Linux nor macOS changed significantly during that period. I think what changed is that you got better at Linux. Leveled-up, so to speak.

We already know the pre-university US education system is bad (comparatively with other OECD countries), particularly in Mathematics. No surprise here.

You missed the part where I spelled out the advantage: it accelerates things significantly (one hour vs one week).

I'd say that is the problem we're observing. A lot of decent code is being written with weird inconsistencies, because it's actually written by AI driven by people who don't really understand what they're doing. the

Fable (and even Opus if kept tightly under reigns) does generate high-quality code even for highly complex tasks. It generally performs better if the tasks are broken done into small manageable pieces, and the person is actually reviewing a
