I’ve done this numerous times and it’s never been onerous and everything has worked flawlessly. It’s also not slower than native if you’re running an ARM build of Linux.

Yes because we should all be building function calling implementations for the same 10 SaaS services rather than using 10 standard MCP servers.

It's becoming increasingly clear that memory and context are the bottlenecks in advancing usage of AI. I can't help but feel there needs to be a general, perhaps even built into the model, solution for this - everyone seems to be

Hey friend, just wanted to chime in and say please don't be demoralised. Building a thriving business AND being OSS is extremely hard (I also work in this space) and I have immense respect for anyone who chooses to try and balance thos

This is basically a PhD level rant. There's nothing really empirical in here that makes a convincing argument for why a machine could never "understand" why life is precious. Argument via dense word salad doesn't really

Yep, and Rust famously goes beyond this by modelling memory ownership at compile time. In fact, the more behaviour we can model at compile time the better when it comes to LLMs - there's some cool ideas here like transpiling Rust into

Even if that were the case, exercise can still be enjoyable for its own sake - and the high of having done it means the hours after are more enjoyable, too.

Almost across the board in western countries, people have less friends, weaker friendships, and there’s less dating, sex, and marriage happening. IMO this is the biggest challenge ahead of us. What’s the point of all this amazing life enhan

The impact of AI on creative fields will be pretty nuanced I feel. I don't think we will end up in a world where everyone is just AI generating the media they want. In some cases we will, for example stuff like lo-fi beats on YouTube a

They actually can. I have found myself getting more use out of a terminal MCP and providing OpenAPI specs than bespoke MCP servers. Bespoke MCP's right now are a convenience.

Software products with AI embedded in them will all disappear. The product is AI. That's it. Everything else is just a temporary stop gap until the frontier models get access to more context and tools. IMO if you are building a product

The product story is that people want to build apps and naturally find themselves having to handle: - remote state - authoritative logic that can't run solely on the user's device because you can't trust it - authentication e

You don’t need to offer support to sustain a business. Look at Ryan Air, who are notorious for not doing so. Support is extremely costly and basically impossible to do well at a large scale. I forgive them for having some issues under their

They’re like a team of 10 people with thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of users. “Actually care” is not a viable path to success here.

Wow. This one will go down in the history books as an example of AI hype outpacing AI capability.

That sounds like it could be the play. Quick, let’s apply to YC with it.

The MCP announcement had me excited on day one. Compared to that, this is a miss for me. The capabilities it provides seem to be no more than a system prompt, which was already a mostly solved problem. What “agents” need is not a protocol f

Thanks for taking the effort to lay it out for me! I did watch the video, and I think I can see what you are going for. I appreciate the goal - having tooling that dynamically adapts to the problem I am trying to solve sounds like a dream.

Ok I went and watched the YouTube video. As a few others have mentioned, it seems analogous to iPython notebooks. Basically a bunch of tiny tools that augment your experience working with code, like showing dependencies as a graph, or letti

This comes across like someone's PhD project. It's unclear from reading the website what this is useful for and what it actually is.

I’ve used Cursor and Windsurf. Windsurf does have Cascade memories which are supposed to help with this, although tbh I haven’t seen it make much difference. IMO they’re all struggling with this problem right now. There’s not much I’ve foun

Many people, otherwise advertising wouldn’t work at all and the industry wouldn’t exist. Even if you hear it via some other source, they may have heard of it via some form of advertising.

To be fair they definitely faked it, they said they had source code for a program they hadn't even written yet! They were just also very serious about the "making it" part.

I wonder if you could have a mothership drone situation, where one drone sits high and out of range, and others fly out to their targets. Would prevent the cable getting caught on stuff and stop the cable leading back to the operator.

I feel that sentiment on LLMs has almost approached a left/right style idealogical divide, where both sides seem to have a totally different interpretation of what they are seeing and what is important.
206.
by mindwok 2y ago
This is just moving the goalposts, MCP is not supposed to solve every problem with agents. It's meant to make it easier to provide easier, standardised ways for LLMs to interact with external tools, which it has done. Reliability is a

Not a huge library, around 32K LoC and no mention of the bug on the web - I was the first to encounter it (it’s since been fixed) unless the training data is super recent.

Yep! AI studio I think is the only way you can actually use it right now and AFAIK it's free.

Just adding to the praise: I have a little test case I've used lately which was to identify the cause of a bug in a Dart library I was encountering by providing the LLM with the entire codebase and description of the bug. It's abo

Rails is one of the most battle tested, opinionated, and productive frameworks there is. If you aren’t at least considering it, depending on what you’re trying to do, you’re doing yourself a huge disservice.
