Given some of the caveats I mentioned towards the end of the article I'd be a bit wary putting too much trust in LLMs for this use case at this stage. But the field is moving so fa…

Yeah it's not ideal, but it mostly works - at least in this case. I think each MCP tool works best when it can be kept lean and needs only a small number of arguments.

Author here. There's basically a couple of different ways to implement an MCP server - for this demo it's a local binary that communicates over stdio, so no OAuth process is taking…

I setup a project somewhat along these lines with a Raspberry Pi, a USB DAC, and spotifyd. Now I have a decent and convenient audio player hooked up to my sound system. May not pas…

I find it odd to brand it as "explicitly anti-Albanian" when the very article that was linked says > With the end of the "Skopje 2014" project, not only the Macedonian nationalist …

I've used Ollama to run Llama 2 (all variants) on my 2020 Intel MacBook Pro - it's incredibly easy. You just install the app and run a couple of shell commands. I'm guessing soon-i…

I recently took to rewriting what should be a very simple app from Obj-C to Swift with SwiftUI - because it's the future. The CPU usage was at 5% while idle, just for having a simp…

I've been using Mux & sqlc in a few projects and it's working out great.

As a financially-insecure immigrant, that line actually helped me understand his mindset, and did not come across in any way as a "hero narrative".

I use VS Code's native integration with WSL. So VS Code runs as a native Windows app with nearly everything you'd expect, but the actual files being read/saved are inside WSL. Work…

I love how "population surveillance" was explicitly mentioned as a goal.

Or Win+Shift+S. I think you need to be on a newer Windows 10 release for it to work. Still not as smooth as on macOS, but getting there.

I really like(d) Sublime and used it till somewhat recently. If there was semi-public development going on, it wasn't very discoverable. Just tried the LSP plugin before reading yo…

We NEVER wear shoes inside our homes in Macedonia, but going to the gym I was required to bring "indoor shoes/sneakers". Ie. ones that I will use exclusively there or indoor enviro…

A lot of the newer Apple products are fairly iconic as well: iPhones, iPads, MacBook Pros, and a lot of people consider some of the iMacs such as G3 or G4 to be iconic as well. So …

What kind of income are you looking at for an extra month, even with a huge payment like a car (which I don't think people use credit OR debit cards for in Europe)? I suspect for t…

Yes, they are. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromanians_in_North_Macedonia

I think this glosses over corruption in Bulgaria[1] and the fact that a lot of people got a Bulgarian passport without actually having any Bulgarian roots. [1] https://www.dw.com/e…

Not sure this is all that typical. While repair costs can get to a fairly large percentage of the purchase price and thus not making sense in some situations, it's not always the c…

Here's an article about a recent Mac ransomware, it was on HN a while back. https://www.wired.com/story/new-mac-ransomware-thiefquest-ev... But still, a lot less of these stories t…

I think your fix would have to be eligible for some program of theirs like the one they had for the GPU issues [1]. Best to check with an authorized reseller/service and have a loo…

I had an MBP with a fried motherboard, out of warranty and paid for it to be replaced out of pocket (400 eur or so). Some months later Apple contacted me and WIRED money to my bank…

Love the idea. I'll have to browse their lists and look for some new movies to watch. I did notice North Macedonia is missing from the list so here are a couple of recommendations …
