Pretty much, MCP is still a bad idea. LLMs perform significantly better and faster when you strap them to plain old apis/and an open api spec with a search tool. My current MCP design is… grab a fastapi spec shove it into fastmcp, shal

It is capital? It’s going to the same PEs and private markets. Who the hell is going to take the risk on and for what? Take x billon dollars to build from scratch or near guaranteed profit to buy 50 practices and shittify them for near guar

It doesn’t matter to PE as long as they can make a profit. Buy a failing business and leverage debt on it until you can’t, spend the money on yourself restructuring the business. Buy a working business and gut it for multiple. Buy failing b

It does, plenty of things inside the EV require all kinds of oils, just the maintenance cycle isn't gallons and gallons every x months. You are looking at years. I got service centers trying to rotate my tires every 3k miles because &q

Rooted all the TVs in the house and now I own the glass and the firmware and the DRM jail. Thanks LG for making everyone burn tokens on plugging your stupid software. But hey now we really own the device and what it does and how it does it.

They cured my migraines, dose small enough to be stable weight. But I have my life back, I get tired instead of getting migraines now. Half the smallest dose, keeps my headaches away for 2-3 weeks. My food intake simply changed, I got used

We’ve had smartphones for a decade and I don’t think I have 100 apps on my phone even if you included the ones that came with my phone. And daily I maybe use 4-6 apps at most.

Yes and no, sol hits a point where reframing its working context becomes hard. It sticks to what you harness very well, but changes become harder and harder. E.g. ask it to make contract for a spec in code and then ask it to violate that co

Pretty much, I stopped using Claude for that reason, I shouldn't have to keep track of the context of the model all the time. And god forbid I don't, the amount of time I've lost to Claude just sending it and then lying is no

I don't know but I can point at more than half of the people that I work with that can't think, and every time they try to, takes a whole group of people that can think to undo their mess, they all have degrees and I don't. S

Build a rag with significant amount of text, extract it by key word topic, place, date, name, etc. … realize that it’s nonsense and the LLM is not smart enough to figure out much without a reranker and a ton of technology that tells it what

When an LLM can rewrite it in 24 hours and fill the missing parts in minutes that argument is hard to defend. I can vibe code what a dev shop would charge 500k to build and I can solo it in 1-2 weeks. This is the reality today. The code wil

A year after the iPhone came out… it didn’t have an App Store, barely was able to play video, barely had enough power to last a day. You just don’t remember or were not around for it. A year after llms came out… are you kidding me? Two year

You pretend that humans don’t produce slop? I can recognize the short comings of AI code but it can produce a mock or a full blown class before I can find a place to save the file it produced. Pretending that we are all busy writing novelty

I run fleets for windows machines, servers, w10, w11, from a Mac. What Microsoft has done to windows 10 and 11 is ridiculous. Why is my taskbar still crashing in 2025. Why does opening task manager spike my cpu to 100%. Search its 2025, sea
