Writing CSS in a way that will scale up with the size of your project and team is just as hard as it's ever been, you still have to come up with a convention for doing that, including taking into account what newer features bring to th

I work on an F100's internal, vendor/model-independent LLM chat app whose agent runs in your browser, so CLI isn't an option, direct API is out as the agent deliberately doesn't have any tools for hitting arbitrary URLs

Given that YouTube already has a suite of anti-adblocking checks in their UI code [1] (e.g. submit a fake request to the /player endpoint and see if anything removed the ads from it - which also tells you exactly which fields you need

I have default "AI" keyword and domain filters as a separate toggleable option (so you can keep your personal filters separate) in my HN extension (which I really need to add recent model names to): https://soitis.dev&#

I thought this was funny because they've rewritten it seemingly with the primary goal of trying to get you to not use it. TL;DR: open app, use the app, install the app, have you opened the app yet?

I'm using this API in the internal [1] model-independent LLM chat app I work on at an F100, and it ruined using the Claude and ChatGPT web interfaces for me outside of work [2] because I'm used to being able to point the model at

Watching it like a hawk and stopping/redirecting, or immediately reviewing and doing the same is the only way, really.

I don't think it needs to specifically be a coding agent for the average user, creating apps for whatever they want to do, just something that can use code and has appropriate access for what they're already asking it to do (inste

Upvoting because Shorts are terrible. Flagging because the submission title - which is 100% faithful to the friendly article - is a complete lie! Plug: I added a bunch of features to Control Panel for YouTube [1] which let you either hide S

At the level of the agent, it knows nothing about MCP, all it has is a list of tools. It can do anything the tools you give it let it do.

Not all agents are running in your CLI or even in any CLI, which is why people are arguing past each other all over the topic of MCP. I implemented this in an agent which runs in the browser (in our internal equivalent of ChatGPT or Claude&

You can make it compose by also giving the agent the necessary tools to do so. I encountered a similar scenario using Atlassian MCP recently, where someone needed to analyse hundreds of Confluence child pages from the last couple of years w

The chatbot app initiates an OAuth flow, user SSOs, chatbot app receives tokens to its callback URL, then tool calls can access whatever the user can access. If you use the official MCP SDK, it has interfaces you implement for auth, so all

I only stay on this particular variant of one of the 5 site designs every LLM spits out for long enough to check that - yes - it has the annoying thing where content fades in as you scroll, before closing the tab.
