    And is vapourware. They went bankrupt in 2021 after failing to make it work and the domain is run by scammers.

    That's only if you're using roaming on your home provider which I doubt many people are. Most people visiting China are either one WiFi (thus are inside the Chinese firewall) or ar…

    But other countries allow you to do so, yet you claim that the US is a bastion of free speech?

    Agree to disagree. I am enthusiastically waiting for Asahi to sort out its display and power management issues, after which I am instantly switching. I'd even take Win 11 over the …

    Slightly off-topic but this is why 3D printing becoming popular is a boon to the repair industry. Yeah, the part might be bad, but instead of paying a ridiculous sum for a piece of…

    Not only that but it's also quite difficult to find a laptop with an ANSI keyboard in an ISO country. My choices are basically an overpriced new Macbook (MacOS is the main con here…

    I have a Pixel 8 running GrapheneOS and it does most of the above: - slightly lesser build quality than my iPhone 15 Pro but comparable - doesn't funnel data to Google unless you e…

    Me and a few friends are working on a firewall for LLM clients that blocks the lethal trifecta: https://github.com/Edison-Watch/open-edison The way it works is the user registers /…

    That is a fair concern, and while that would happen often in some cases, there are others which rarely export data or rarely read public data where you can manually approve each us…

    It is based on what the MCP server reports to us. As with most current LLM clients we assume that the user has checked the MCP servers they're using for authenticity.

    Really good questions, let's look at them one by one: 1. We are assuming that the user has done their due diligence verifying the authenticity of the MCP server, in the same way th…

    It is possible thay a malicious MCP could poison the LLM's ability to classify it's tools but then your threat model includes adding malicious MCPs which would be a problem for any…

    Those are really good points and we do have some plans for them, mainly on the first topic. What we're envisioning in terms of UX for our gateway is that when you set it up it's ve…

    That's a good question! We do use an LLM to categorise the MCP tools but that is at "add" or "configure" time, not at the time they are called. As such we don't actively run an LLM…

    It is possible to configure it like that - when a trifecta is detected, it is possible for the gateway to wait for confirmation before allowing the last MCP call to proceed. The is…

    Comment #45224541

    At least in its current state we just use an LLM to categorise each individual tool. We don't look at the data itself, although we have some ideas of how to improve things, as curr…

    Fair criticism! We wrote the Readme earlier on when we were still ironing out the requirements. I'll fix it up shortly.

    Show HN: An MCP Gateway to block the lethal trifecta

    Hi there, me and some friends were inspired by Simon Willison's recent post on the "lethal trifecta" ( https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/ ) and started buil…

    There's a lot of trash talking of x86 here but I feel like it's not x86 or Intel/AMD that are the problem for the simple reason that Chromebooks exist. If you've ever used a Chrome…

    The funny thing about 3D printers is that they're making a bit of a comeback. The early ones managed to get the capabilities right - you can print some really impressive things on …

    Ooh, one thing that can be very useful for this is sending USB wakeup packets. I have an HTPC under my TV and game controllers (PS4, Xbox) at my coffee table and there is no way to…

    The issue is that underfunding the NHS has become so bad that even very serious cases can't be handled appropriately. I know it's an anecdote, but I've had a fairly bad experience …
