Bad faith reply. The government grants do not exist, it's not a failure of imagination, I too would like to live in that world, but we don't and aren't likely to any time soon. And even if we did, do you think that Deno would

Do you have any special insight here or are you speculating? I'm not saying that he should be free from criticism, but that we should try and have some empathy for people who try things even if they fail, particularly when they've

by phpnode 6mo ago
Ok but those government grants don't really exist today and what you're arguing for is zero sustainability for open source projects. This is certain to lead to the death of open source - there's not even the reputational pay-

People want open source software, but they do not want the compromises that come with funding it. When people try and fail then you get shitty blog posts like this one. It's sheer entitlement. I think the days of building open source t

These things are easy to say but just because someone has the title CEO doesn't mean they're automatically void of human feelings. I'm sure you understand there's a big gap between a Ryan Dahl and a Satya Nadella, despit

Agreed. It is very easy to criticise if you've never been in the hot seat, and if you've never had to make tough decisions like this. As far as I can tell this person has never run a business with actual employees. If Dahl had pos

Same is true in the US though? Surely that’s what all those amendments are

This is a ridiculous article and reeks of insecurity at the top at Vercel. You cannot expect to reap the benefits of open source software without accounting for the costs.

I think a big part of why this discussion is coming up again and again is that people assume the way they are using AI is universal, but there's a bunch of different ways to leverage it. If you have an agent which runs within a product

How are those CLIs being installed and run on hosted services? You'll need to sandbox them and have a way to install them automatically which seems difficult. How does the auth flow work? You'd need to invent some convention or wr
72.
by phpnode 6mo ago
no, it's all about auth. MCP lets less-technical people plug their existing tools into agents. They can click through the auth flow in about 10 seconds and everything just works. They cannot run CLIs because they're not running an

You can have a hybrid approach - deny access in that area by default but have a secure way to whitelist specific terminals for short periods (mission duration)

The sats don't use lasers to communicate with terminals, just regular radio waves, they only use lasers for inter-satellite communication

The terminal knows where it is at all times.

The issue with these LLM-targeting DSLs is that you have to waste a bunch of your context window explaining the grammar and semantics to the LLM, whereas they already speak existing programming languages because they've seen so much ex

it is straightforward to build this for real, here is my nearly one-shotted tldraw clone from a couple of weeks ago, https://x.com/c_pick/status/2028669568403578931 - the implementation side never saw the code, on

This is satire, but I actually have built something that can do this extremely well as an unintentional side effect. I will not be building my business around this capability however

Both of these are great, true expressions of a total void of taste

This is excessively cynical, it's a useful tool despite its shortcomings.

by phpnode 7mo ago
there's a whole world of AI tools out there that don't focus on developers. These tools often need to interact with external services in one way or another, and MCP gives those less technical users an easy way to connect e.g. Noti

by phpnode 7mo ago
well I'm sure you can understand the dangers of that, and why that won't work if your app is hosted and doesn't run on users' local machines
83.
by phpnode 7mo ago
the article only makes sense if you think that only developers use AI tools, and that the discovery / setup problem doesn't matter
84.
by phpnode 7mo ago
I don't doubt that CLIs + skills are a good alternative to MCP in some contexts , but if you're building an app for non-developers and you need to let users connect it to arbitrary data sources there's really no sensible, sa

Is that actually the case? or are they just not supplying LLMs to DoW and Anthropic is?

When they seamlessly switch from English to Dutch I feel like I’m having a stroke: all the same intonation, the same accent, but nothing makes sense any more

The pattern matching example has a type Shape which is never referenced and this seems to conflict with the idea that you never write a type, am I missing something obvious?

I'm more interested in the general question rather than the specifics of this situation, which I'm sure is now incredibly common. I know it looked at those implementations because I asked it to, and therefore I will credit those p

The other day I had an agent write a parser for a niche query language which I will not name. There are a few open source implementations of this language on github, but none of them are in my target language and none of them are PEGs. The
