I agree with you on how websites should work (particularly so on the micropayments front); but, I don't agree that it is impossible to solve... I just think things are going to get a LOT worse on the ownership and freedom front: they

Well, if you are going to try to use an LLM--something that is a giant black box that has no hope any time soon of being proven anywhere near as reliable as a CPU, and which has been trained explicitly on input data that makes it remarkably

I think there are different use cases, though; like, I agree with you that I find it really really annoying when I'm starting to read a paragraph of text... but, for the various buttons and navigation structure--even the headings--havi

And I agree with you; the reason to ask this question is because it is something that is quoted in the article (in a screenshot, so don't try to ctrl-F for it ;P) as part of the background zeitgeist opinion on the premise.

I cannot find anyone in this thread (nor in the article) making the claim you are arguing against, though... the reason for the example isn't "this demonstrates all Go code is wrong", but merely that "you can't assu

But like, is that "anti-labor"? The undervalued people who actually were important now being slightly more valued -- or, in the case of the storyline in the movie, having a job at all -- seems like it could even be pro-labor.

FWIW, isn't it only "minutes" if you want to be confusingly short? I'd have said "minutes of arc" or "arcminutes".

If there merely exists anything which is more valuable tomorrow than today, it is also equally "stupid" to have cash instead of whatever that thing is... and like, that isn't even theoretical: you are generally encouraged to

I think that's why they explicitly added the story about the color TV being an instant improvement. FWIW, I've felt over the years that if you have to get used to it, it probably wasn't that good to begin with: so so many thi

A test is not a proof, and you can prove something works without ever even running it. There are also properties of a system which are impossible to test, or are so non-deterministic that you a test will only fail once every million times t

Just because something is free certainly does not make it ethical, and it doesn't even mean it should be legal.

The process of developing software involves this kind of non-linear code editing. When you learn to do something (and the same should go for code, even if sometimes people don't get this critical level of instruction), you don't j

The training data is text code that can be compiled, though, so the training data can also easily be an Abstract Syntax Tree.

Sure. If the MCP server is something you are running locally then you can do that, but you are now subject to parser differential attacks (which, FWIW, is the bane of existence for tools like pgbouncer, both from the perspective of security

So, how would we do that? The underlying API token provides complete access to the database and the MCP server is issuing all of the queries as god (the service_role). We therefore have to filter the command before it is sent to the MCP ser
