I feel like the MCP conversation conflates too many things and everyone has strong assumptions that aren't always correct. The fundamental issue is between one-off vs. persistent access across sessions: - If you need to interact with a

So you just hate him. Great. Now stop derailing every thread related to NASA/Spacex launches.

That's beside the point... Fact is, there's a schism and no one crosses it. Elon picked a side I guess, so the other side hates him.

All of those exist or are being worked on, so I don't get it. Except maybe hyperloop, which was abandoned afaik. What are you even trying to say? That these projects are totally fake? AI generated or something? Like the Moon landing wa

That describes basically all founders though, minus the endless money supply. That's how business/sales works: make promises, build product later. Also SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal, OpenAI, Grok and Neuralink aren't vaporware... The

Ughhh, Elon Moosk amirite? Such a fraud, because [???] I don't really understand why these kinds of comments persist except as some pathological cope when confronted with a world that doesn't work the way you want it to. It's

Depends on the problem-space doesn't it? If you're making CRUD apps, then go wild IMO. If you're making rocket launch systems, maybe don't?

Are you kidding me? If you link against a GPL library in a proprietary commercial app, the GPL's copyleft infects that code and you'd have to release it under GPL. Explain to me how that doesn't prevent commercial use? Are yo

Maybe you're right, but FSL/BSL is arguably "more open source" than GPL. We all know GPL is a poison pill that kills commercial use, while FSL/BSL just blocks competitors from stealing your app.

Is this some kind of astroturfing comment? China is supporting Iran and Russia economically and technologically, and is preparing for a Taiwan invasion.

For SaaS, the bottleneck is still access to data. Everything else already has been made in the past 5-10 years, so if you can't find a way around data moats you don't really have a product 99% of the time - especially now that peo

UML was for various reasons, but libraries? When's the last time you wrote a sorting algorithm? The entire software ecosystem runs on dependencies. That failed? Rust uses crates to import those dependencies, which was one of its bigges

Why is everyone still talking about markdown files as the only form of spec? The argument is true for text-based specs, but that's not the only option. Stop being so text-file-brained? This article is really attacking vague prose that

What about model-driven development? Spec to code was the name of the game for UML.

I'm a little wary of this being regex-based; seems like it'd be too brittle for general use? But I really would need a tool like this to hook up to my vibecoding sessions.

How does this compare to working in different branches and merging at the end?

Getting similar vibes from freelance clients sending me overly-articulated specs for projects, making it sound like they want sophisticated implementations. Then I ask about it and they actually want like a 30 row table written in a csv. Hu

The addiction economy is hard to deal with for anyone - regardless of age. So, I agree this is definitely not a solved problem, but from what I see the only viable way forward is actually to do pretty drastic things like not own a smartph

I'm completely baffled why anyone still engages with the "official" framing around this. Obviously, it's not for protecting children. Obviously, it's a technocratic trojan horse for increasing surveillance capabilit

Seeing a lot of "ok boomer" reactions to posts like this, and honestly I think I kind of agree - but more accurately the author hasn't considered the current landscape properly. Grady Booch (co-creator of UML) has this to say

Court orders are different from psyops. The Bhattacharya thing, and the entire narrative around that stuff was essentially a psyop. Geo-restricting a Turkish politician because the authoritarian govt arrested him and gave a court order to r

From what I understand, LLMs can't really generate anything meaningful that doesn't implicitly rely on the operator's choices. It's hard to make the right novel choices as soon as you leave well-defined problem spaces. I

I'll take a swing. Dario's essay carefully avoids its own conclusion. He argues that AI will democratize mass casualty weapons (biology especially), that human coordination at civilizational scale is impossible, and that human-run

Yes and no, for the respective reasons: - Yes, I think people are already wary and have "AI fatigue" from all the chatbots and AI add-ons people have released over the past 2 years. It's already hard to convince people that y
