At the moment all your data is still replicated in the US (they say it will change in the future, sure) and all the logs are also stored there, with no plans to change it or more d…

The average user can and already does that. If they want to regularly fetch their emails and process them, they will install outlook or use the Gmail web app. If they want to regul…

Yes the brain is known to be useful when writing software

Nobody isn't giving anything to you for free

Meta for example is spending a lot of effort and money into creating new curated programming training sets. That means at least from their POV what's already available is not enoug…

I don't think they do at the moment, but they could be trained subtly add backdoors to code or make "phone home" api calls during dev time, triggering on certain conditions ("is us…

Huh. I associate it with LinkedIn slop, which is probably 100% ai nowadays but they certainly didn't wait for llms.

I worry llm will increase inertia and make more difficult to adopt new technologies. But who knows? Maybe it would lower the barrier instead. If switching to fossil is just one age…

I... Think you just spoiled me. Somehow I've managed to avoid all information about it so far, but now that you said it's like the last question... It's on me for procrastinating p…

Sometimes I ssh into a server as a specific user (e.g. as the "app" user that is used to run a web app), sometimes only root is available (probably not best practice, but it's not …

I'm not sure llms produce good documentation. I'm open to hear more opinions on this, my feeling is that the documentation of llm-heavy projects is a bit too verbose, a bit off-tar…

I work remotely so I had no idea. I'd have thought that unless you're in HR you wouldn't scroll a website whose primary purpose is to look for new jobs.

IRC bouncers have been a thing since forever, at-least-once isn't a technical problem

Did you need to add poor? Unless apple isn't catering to the US

My favorite is still AwesomeWM, although I haven't used it in years. Nowadays I'm on mac and my "tiling manager" is about 6-7 custom functions I wrote in hammerspoon. Basically jus…

Agree on all the points, except 4. There are even people out there who use lynx as their primary browser :) Although while I usually like tabs for most apps, I don't use tabs for t…

Specialized is probably not the word I'd use, because llms are generally useful to understand more specialized / obscure topics. For example I've never randomly heard people talkin…

Neither slash commands or interaction models are unique to mcp, you can have a http api that offers both. More concretely, you can have an installable (and updatable) skills that w…

What I want to know is what's the difference between a remote mcp and an api with an openapi.json endpoint for self-discovery? It's just as centralized

If I didn't misunderstood you, it doesn't really matter if it's an endpoint or a (remote) mcp, either someone else wants to run llms to provide a service for you or they don't. A l…

I think there's a real possibility this is a "no such thing as bad publicity" stunt.
