As is the entirety of using an LLM? If you want something deterministic and efficient you get the agent to write a script, verify it, then run it yourself.

OpenAPI already exists, you can serve it on an endpoint for tool descriptions. Why did we need MCP again?

I have a company-managed Apple account on my work iPhone and Mac. So I beg to differ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It is quite nerfed compared to a normal Apple account - for example the App store is…

Couldn't WASM solve that problem once and for all? Is there some limitation that WASM has that JS doesn't? Disclaimer: I am very inexperienced at front-end development.

Well, it goes both ways. You'll see articles saying essentially "you don't need Postgres or any other fancy database, SQlite is enough" while ignoring the fact that some use-cases …

Maybe they are just for internal use? I doubt Apple is going back on the server market, and given how little they have invested in the Mac Pro, I doubt they are going to make a new…

It's been unacceptable for months, but now it's at the level of "we should actively look for alternatives".

Didn't know that tool existed, thanks for that! I assume it's using the development features in order to bypass protections?

Links are also often modified with "hxxps" instead of "https". Link is still clickable but will not work.

Fascinating! So it's a bit like a plate reverb (used in the olden days in audio engineering), but in the MHz range.

There is a technical solution to this - make Amber alerts specifically not bypass do-not-disturb. Others can stay as-is because I want to get woken up in case of natural disaster o…

It is the same in Canada [1] yet I frequently see beer sold in "US pints" over here. I assume they do it so they can advertise cheaper prices (the amount being smaller). Some place…

I don't understand what is their thought process. Am I supposed to get up and start driving in hopes of finding the kid(s)? By the time I wake up in the morning, usually, they have…

Apart from the HTML5 export mentioned by another commenter, there exists Ruffle[1], a Rust + WASM reimplementation of Flash that can play swf files. It's used a lot on archive.org …

It's particularly annoying one asks for people's input/opinion, and then someone posts an emoji-ridden tirade that is clearly copy-pasted from ChatGPT. Like, I know how to use it. …

Except you can make oxygen for pretty cheap using oxygen concentrators. The technology is simple enough that home versions exist for patients with lung problems can lug one around …

Native French speaker here. 1300s I could still kinda follow the story with difficulty but from the 1200s I just couldn't anymore. I felt like it helped to use an "old english" acc…

AWS does have a European sovereign cloud now: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/opening-the-aws-european-so... Now how bulletproof it is in practice will be tested in years to come,…

I think the abysmal adoption numbers of the v26 OSes have played a big role here.

Given Tesla's abysmal track record on keeping their promises I feel like it is justified to dismiss them, at the risk of being surprised if they do make it.

I had that laptop and it is the worst computer I have ever owned. As soon as you booted the fans would start spinning. There were sometimes kernel panics when plugging or unpluggin…

Well, to play devil's advocate, typically only the minified version is exposed. However I agree that in the end outside of making it more readable, it's not making a huge differenc…

Well, the current hardware is solid - great build quality, powerful, insane battery life. However, software-wise, the peak was 10.6. There hasn't been the same level of quality eve…

This has not been an issue in Canada. There is sales tax, which basically randomizes the last digit.

Love Atomic Shrimp. There is so much variety in his content, and always a focus on curiosity, trial and error, and learning things. One of the most positive channels on Youtube.
