    Developers will always hate to ask the system owner for changes to permissions don’t think you can just fix that. If the company has enough grc red tape, integrating with slack can…

    Yes, in a world of dynamic virtual teams and cross cooperation across teams. «Teams» is an ancient construct

    Yeah that’s what they try to do with the latest coding agents sub agents which only have the context they need etc. but atm it’s too much work to manage contexts at that level

    A developer can blast millions of tokens in minutes. When you have a context size of 250k that’s just 4 queries. But with tool usage and subsequent calls etc it can easily just do …

    Grok can ingest images and do analysis in real time. But yeah it's going to be real hard for it to relate that image to a current event.

    Yeah, mail is the primary source of this. Once communication with my customers moved to teams. I've had a very hard time to find historical agreements and decisions. I try very har…

    But it's not, it's a database. That is annoyingøy hard to move around and version control

    I'd recommend chrome mask instead. It's written by a Firefox engineer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/

    I think the argument is that clippy would totally have done that if it was an option back then.

    Agreed, I know Networks, requests, protocols, Auth flow etc but is been years since I actually coded stuff This is magical to me. I love cursor, I use it to deploy docker packages …

    I often find myself clearing the context when dealing with llms to get a fresh take. Often it just has so much context reinforcing its previous decisions. Not sure if the author tr…

    Played until 27. All the levels were pretty easy, 15-30 seconds per level. Mainly because of the "par" feature

    You can host authentik with one click in docker. It's super easy to set up

    This feels hopelessly dated and given the reception it doesn't seem like it works that well Isn't this a standard feature these days?

    I use it quite often. But just small stuff like simple automations, userscripts, docker config that sort of thing

    Love d2, using it for years. I use it whenever someone asks me to create a visualisation. And I regularly tell people about d2 trying to push it internally haha Enterprise is way t…

    D2 can be locally compiled. Llms are pretty good at generating d2 too. So all you need is to tell the LLM what to do tbh. Not my project but no need for an mcp I'd think

    I'd assume that behind the scenes the models generate several passes and only show the user the best one, that would be smart, as to to make it seem their model is better than othe…

    High context is pretty normal these days though, as you keep interfacing with the llms the context window just grows. And with mcps and RAG is trivial to get 30k contexts++ in ever…

    This is a very interesting concept. I have a few questions though. Even if the agent has mcp tools avaible, you can't guarantee that it would necessarily use them right? I imagine …
