Most likely, personally I have thoughts on tool search, I don’t believe it’s the final stop on the road to MCP progressive discovery, but it does have its uses. Especially for very large tool catalogues. Expect more on this. We are looking

I see benchmarks a lot working on this, and I honestly think there’s too many things to cover in this comment but: - this article doesn’t enable tool search for starters where tokens start at near zero for MCP too - even with the above, tal

Relatedly, I think that success in post-AI business will be about doing more with the same or more people, not the same with less. Like you say, the AI part reduces the value and increases the availability of anything automated, so competin

Our clandestine services will spend years getting people into the right places. I mean at at certain point the difference between the two blurs, and the social engineering entirely overlaps.

I’m one of main devs of GitHub MCP (opinions my own) and I’ve really enjoyed your talks on the subject. I hope we can chat in-person some time. I am personally very happy for our GH MCP Server to be your example. The conversations you are

Mobile voice call compression sucks so much that about a decade ago, in order to play a live drum audition remotely, I once had to find a space with a landline and printer that would also let me play loudly drums to do it. As a student I ha

Making publication easy on social media has certainly had an impact on public speech, but private platforms do not offer free speech by design. Naomi Klein went into this in No Logo with shopping malls replacing public spaces where you also

Full disclosure, I work for GitHub, but push protection from Secret Scanning is awesome for this because your nearly leaked secret doesn’t make it to the remote, and it gives you instructions on how to fix your local repo!

In the worst case you can copy paste a patch into a new local file in the repo and then apply it with git from there. I’ve had somebody slack me patches before and it is not a big lift.

Perhaps you’re correct, but I’m not saying don’t take an offer from the company. More an advice to accept a little risk that the exploding offer won’t explode and carry on with your job hunt. My advice above was to keep as many cards in pla

Never accept an exploding offer. If they won’t give you more time, then let them see you’re prepared to let it lapse. It’s a ploy to create urgency when there is none, as is never in your interest as a candidate. I’d be very surprised if a

There is no correct answer. Having the segments go from smallest to largest or vice versa seems more logical than mid-small-large, but frankly iso8601 is clearly the most logical we have, but we’re never going to get everyone to use that ou
