safely-bump-deps.sh does not need to do impossibly hard things. It can just call npm: outdated, install --save-exact and/or install --package-lock-only. There's plenty of solutions here. Pushing this into a hook makes it invisible

This is the opposite of "do one thing and do it well" unix philosophy. You don't need your package manager to invoke your hook. You need _your_ tooling to invoke your hook. ./safely-bump-deps.sh && npm install Wa

A lot of odd takes in the comments. I think the most correct take is that seeing a the top bun slightly off is more realistic and honest. Respecting your customers, even in advertising, is appreciated.

Mos takes it even further, the top bun is completely off.

The problem with MCP isn't MCP. It's the way it's invoked by your agent. IMO, by default MCP tools should run in forked context. Only a compacted version of the tool response should be returned to the main context. This costs

What part of MCP do you think is over-engineered? This is quite literally the opposite opinion I and many others had when first exploring MCP. It's so _obviously_ simple, which is why it gained traction in the first place.

> It's significantly more wicked to pretend that tests, treatments, and more aren't done by healthcare workers (yes, even private ones), and to inundate them with unimportant medical procedures while truly sick people are dying

Then here's an idea: instead of hiding that information, you can explain it to the patient. You have no authority to treat your patient like a child.

> We already have an extreme shortage of available healthcare workers. We don't need to stress them further because 20% of the population suddenly decides they need 80 elective surgeries to remove things that would've gone away

It's easy to think of notation like shell expansions, that all you're doing is replacing expressions with other expressions. But it goes much deeper than that. Once my professor explained how many great discoveries are often paire

Kind of cool for a presentation deck. Sorely needs keyboard navigation support though.

Who said a COBOL system is prone to fraud? Incomplete and inaccurate data is prone to fraud. Talking about COBOL is missing the point.

Musk said: “Crazy things like just cursory examination of Social Security and we’ve got people in there that are 150 years old.” He qualified this claim as a “cursory examination”. It’s clearly a comment about the quality of the data and sy

This is a PR maneuver that Microsoft can bring to the table to strike a deal with Apple. They want everyone to think of the iOS + App Store as just distribution. They want everyone to think of Xbox Cloud Gaming as a platform for developers.

by jamesrom 2y ago
It's disingenuous in that they are both platforms doing the same thing. Apple could argue that it's Microsoft's 30% cut that makes it impossible for developers to get their games published on the App Store. That too, would be

I’m not saying render the scene. I’m saying take your measurements from where the camera is (or would be).

I’m not saying render the scene. I’m saying take your measurements from where the camera is (or would be). It would require no extra infra or compute.

It never made sense to me why they raycast from the car. Humans don't play this way. The car is an abstraction the model doesn't need to care about it. It literally doesn't matter if it's 1px or 100 meters to the wall, j

They almost certainly know the exploits being used by Pegasus. It's in their best interest to turn a blind eye. Bookmark this post.

This is awesome, but balancing belts is usually a fool's errand. It's better to design your base as factories with inputs prioritized with priority splitters.
