    Good question on Code Mode internals. In Code Mode the model sees only two tools by default: list_tools(pattern) and execute_code(code). list_tools takes a regex and returns TypeSc…

    A bit more on DADL, since this is what people typically ask first - why ANOTHER standard? DADL is on purpose narrower than e.g. OpenAPI. It describes only the tool surface that an …

    Show HN: ToolMesh – turn all your REST APIs into MCP tools via declarative YAML

    When at night the pager goes off, I ask Claude: "what is alerting, what changed in the last hour?". Claude answers by chaining calls across Graylog, Prometheus, Alertmanager, Linod…

    You are also right and I half agree - but the same issue arises with new employees. They already have some of this experience you are talking about - but usually there is something…

    Well the LLM might well have read all operating procedures etc. - just like the teenager - but it has not *experienced* issues himself/herself/itself. If you look at the published …

    Ask HN: AI is like a hyper-motivated 16-year old genius – how to manage?

    A while ago I posted a comment regarding AI being like a genius 16year old - extrem knowledgeable in technical details, hyper-motivated, feels a need to help. But no production exp…

    Amazing, looks too good to be true :-) But no ToS, Imprint, whether it is commercial or open source?

    I only use a decay function to see how "hot" a chunk is - not for forgetting old ones. What concerns me more are memory chunks with errors in them - they need to be corrected/remov…

    Think of AI just like of a genius 16-year old. Accidents will happen - only let AI and the 16-year old access systems where you are sure you have a recovery plan.

    the better the tokenizer maps text to its internal representation, the better the understanding of the model what you are saying - or coding! But 4.7 is much more verbose in my exp…

    Great site! I once created muelltonne.de (german for "trashcan") where users could send (spam) mails which they did not like - and got poems or jokes in return that were made from …

    Great idea, I do like the concept to give the LLM more information and context so it can decide what approach is better. But why do you implement it as a mcp server and not as a pr…

    Sounds like "security by obscurity" to me - if you think AI is so good at finding security issues - it will find them in compiled code as well. Why not using it in your favor and l…

    I like the approach to bring in the context surgeon as a wrapper that sees the conversation and can attach ids to the lines. You might even use the surgeon to replace parts with su…

    Nice clean project - Python 3.14 as a requirement might be an issue for adoption...

    I'd bet this does work but how do you solve the problem with scoring the quality of a modified agent?

    I still have a 486 linux system from those days - has not been turned on in this century but I'll try some day together with a glas of whisky :-)
