I never understood this, is there anything that makes it difficult for the original uploader, the one that supposedly offers the file directly, to offer a torrent instead for the same amount of time? As far as perennity is concerned it seem

We really should start being more precise when we say "replace". Are we talking about replacing 90-100% of that particular job? Or 50-80%? Because it feels like people argue as if they were talking about the former, but if probed

You could have asked this question 10 years ago, long before llms. It's not like you'd realistically would get an ocaml job back then when there's so few of them, so why bother? The answer is still the same as well, people le

Let's say you follow a link to a github project and you have to assess whether to trust that code, how do you do it? Before AI just having a good README and superficially looking good code (we're not going to do a deep review of i

I understood your comment the same way as the guy you're replying to. Maybe it'll help if you expand on whether we can trust vibe coded software? That's really the crux of the issue, and if you're not addressing that you

At the moment all your data is still replicated in the US (they say it will change in the future, sure) and all the logs are also stored there, with no plans to change it or more details into what they contain. As of now there's no gua

The average user can and already does that. If they want to regularly fetch their emails and process them, they will install outlook or use the Gmail web app. If they want to regularly fetch and install updates for their games they will ins

Meta for example is spending a lot of effort and money into creating new curated programming training sets. That means at least from their POV what's already available is not enough or not good enough, and if they're correct then

I don't think they do at the moment, but they could be trained subtly add backdoors to code or make "phone home" api calls during dev time, triggering on certain conditions ("is user employee of xyz")

Huh. I associate it with LinkedIn slop, which is probably 100% ai nowadays but they certainly didn't wait for llms.

I worry llm will increase inertia and make more difficult to adopt new technologies. But who knows? Maybe it would lower the barrier instead. If switching to fossil is just one agent.md instruction away and it brings useful features with mi

I... Think you just spoiled me. Somehow I've managed to avoid all information about it so far, but now that you said it's like the last question... It's on me for procrastinating playing the game for so long, it was bound to

Sometimes I ssh into a server as a specific user (e.g. as the "app" user that is used to run a web app), sometimes only root is available (probably not best practice, but it's not like I can or want to fix it myself). In any

I'm not sure llms produce good documentation. I'm open to hear more opinions on this, my feeling is that the documentation of llm-heavy projects is a bit too verbose, a bit off-target, sometimes completely irrelevant, very repetit

I work remotely so I had no idea. I'd have thought that unless you're in HR you wouldn't scroll a website whose primary purpose is to look for new jobs.

My favorite is still AwesomeWM, although I haven't used it in years. Nowadays I'm on mac and my "tiling manager" is about 6-7 custom functions I wrote in hammerspoon. Basically just tile left/right, full size, &quot

Agree on all the points, except 4. There are even people out there who use lynx as their primary browser :) Although while I usually like tabs for most apps, I don't use tabs for terminal and rely either on window manager or tmux. I gu

Specialized is probably not the word I'd use, because llms are generally useful to understand more specialized / obscure topics. For example I've never randomly heard people talking about the dicom standard, llms have no trou

Neither slash commands or interaction models are unique to mcp, you can have a http api that offers both. More concretely, you can have an installable (and updatable) skills that will teach the agents how to use your api and will come with

What I want to know is what's the difference between a remote mcp and an api with an openapi.json endpoint for self-discovery? It's just as centralized

by monsieurbanana 7mo ago
If I didn't misunderstood you, it doesn't really matter if it's an endpoint or a (remote) mcp, either someone else wants to run llms to provide a service for you or they don't. A local mcp doesn't come in play becau
