Given some of the caveats I mentioned towards the end of the article I'd be a bit wary putting too much trust in LLMs for this use case at this stage. But the field is moving so fast that I don't doubt it will soon be less error p

Yeah it's not ideal, but it mostly works - at least in this case. I think each MCP tool works best when it can be kept lean and needs only a small number of arguments.

Author here. There's basically a couple of different ways to implement an MCP server - for this demo it's a local binary that communicates over stdio, so no OAuth process is taking place. It's only meant to run on your local

I setup a project somewhat along these lines with a Raspberry Pi, a USB DAC, and spotifyd. Now I have a decent and convenient audio player hooked up to my sound system. May not pass all the bars for an audiophile but the sound quality is ac

I find it odd to brand it as "explicitly anti-Albanian" when the very article that was linked says > With the end of the "Skopje 2014" project, not only the Macedonian nationalist hungry spirit was fed. Its counterpa

I've used Ollama to run Llama 2 (all variants) on my 2020 Intel MacBook Pro - it's incredibly easy. You just install the app and run a couple of shell commands. I'm guessing soon-ish this model will be available too and then

I recently took to rewriting what should be a very simple app from Obj-C to Swift with SwiftUI - because it's the future. The CPU usage was at 5% while idle, just for having a simple tiny pie chart that updates. Not to mention that for

I've been using Mux & sqlc in a few projects and it's working out great.

As a financially-insecure immigrant, that line actually helped me understand his mindset, and did not come across in any way as a "hero narrative".

I use VS Code's native integration with WSL. So VS Code runs as a native Windows app with nearly everything you'd expect, but the actual files being read/saved are inside WSL. Works great with Vagrant, Docker for Desktop, Git

I love how "population surveillance" was explicitly mentioned as a goal.

Or Win+Shift+S. I think you need to be on a newer Windows 10 release for it to work. Still not as smooth as on macOS, but getting there.

I really like(d) Sublime and used it till somewhat recently. If there was semi-public development going on, it wasn't very discoverable. Just tried the LSP plugin before reading your comment. Wanted to use it for Go development, but it

We NEVER wear shoes inside our homes in Macedonia, but going to the gym I was required to bring "indoor shoes/sneakers". Ie. ones that I will use exclusively there or indoor environments. Helps keep the gym cleaner. I guess w

A lot of the newer Apple products are fairly iconic as well: iPhones, iPads, MacBook Pros, and a lot of people consider some of the iMacs such as G3 or G4 to be iconic as well. So there's still contemporary iconic hardware for someone

What kind of income are you looking at for an extra month, even with a huge payment like a car (which I don't think people use credit OR debit cards for in Europe)? I suspect for the vast majority of people it's going to be neglig

I think this glosses over corruption in Bulgaria[1] and the fact that a lot of people got a Bulgarian passport without actually having any Bulgarian roots. [1] https://www.dw.com/en/bulgarian-passport-scam-officials-arr

Not sure this is all that typical. While repair costs can get to a fairly large percentage of the purchase price and thus not making sense in some situations, it's not always the case. I recently repaired a Sony soundbar system for abo

Here's an article about a recent Mac ransomware, it was on HN a while back. https://www.wired.com/story/new-mac-ransomware-thiefquest-ev... But still, a lot less of these stories than for Windows.

I think your fix would have to be eligible for some program of theirs like the one they had for the GPU issues [1]. Best to check with an authorized reseller/service and have a look at their current Repair Extension programs [2]. [1]

I had an MBP with a fried motherboard, out of warranty and paid for it to be replaced out of pocket (400 eur or so). Some months later Apple contacted me and WIRED money to my bank account to compensate the cost. This was for an Early 2011

Love the idea. I'll have to browse their lists and look for some new movies to watch. I did notice North Macedonia is missing from the list so here are a couple of recommendations for amazing movies (imo) for those interested: - Honeyl

Slightly off-topic, but it's super interesting to see Flutter (which seems to be by Google), use Visual Studio Code (by Microsoft) and an iPhone X simulator (by Apple) as their main demo. I guess it gets the point across.

I've had DDG set as default for maybe a year now, across desktop and mobile. As time passes, I find myself using !g less and less, probably less than 10% of the time now. Most of my queries are technical or for common-ish topics, and i

I really wish they'd bring out an update to their Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 [0] instead. Even if it's the exact same mouse, just with a nano receiver rather than the old, giant receiver. The supposed successor, t
