Hmm but the OpenAPI MVP server just exposes the commands for each API it knows about to the agent - then the MCP server makes stateless API calls. Problem solved.

MCP isn't stateful in terms of connection with a downstream API server - only with a local bit of code that translates LLM tool calls to something else. There's no inherent coupling.

Looking at your get_tools() it does essentially the same thing as the OpenAPI MVP server but without being an MCP server - meaning now there are two standards where before there was one, and your tool is most usefully imagined as a local stdio MCP server.

True, but running errcheck will catch cases where you accidentally ignore the error. Maybe not as good as having it built-in to the language like Rust, but the goal of error check safety is achieved either way.

And there's a few cases like Print() where errors are so commonly ignored you don't even want to use the "_" ignore syntax. Go gives you the poetic license to avoid spamming underscores everywhere. error linters can be configured to handle a variety of strictness. For non-critical software, it's OK to YOLO your Print(). For human-death-on-failure software you may enforce 100% handling, not even allowing explicit ignore "_" (ie become even stricter than Rust language default)

The conclusion seems pretty shoddy as well, since it relies on a few years worth of data to indicate a permanent shift in purchasing habits, and those years include a global pandemic, supply chain shortages and high inflation/interest.

Really the only conclusion I would make is that combustion-only has peaked, and that much is very clear if you go and shop for a new car. Everything is being hybridised.
> But the quality of what was built was worse than what the commies built in the Eastern Europe.

The rural council housing built in post-war UK was of really high quality: these houses were built for durability and community. They were solid brick or stone construction, and had large gardens to promote self-sufficiency. I grew up in one of these houses, and my parents grew enough vegetables in the enormous garden that we only needed meat and dairy from the store.

The article is an awful jumble of free-market junk, and as others have mentioned, doesn't mention Brexit or privatization as two of the main causes of economic stagnation.
Yet somehow the US is continuing to send tons of expensive military aid to Israel.

Which shows this isn't actually about the cost.

If this had anything to do with money and caring about domestic spending first, then you'd see aid to Israel cut off as well. Funny how that's not happening.

Found that reference I was looking for, "Geeks, MOPs, and sociopaths in subculture evolution" by David Chapman, ~2015, <https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths>.

Before there is a subculture, there is a scene. A scene is a small group of creators who invent an exciting New Thing—a musical genre, a religious sect, a film animation technique, a political theory. Riffing off each other, they produce examples and variants, and share them for mutual enjoyment, generating positive energy.

The new scene draws fanatics...

I've mentioned that previously on HN as well as the Fediverse:

More like the Union holding out for 70 years in Puerto Rico after the Confederates won. In what sense do you mean China is a democracy? I may be brainwashed on CIA propaganda, but as far as I understand only party-vetted candidates may stand for election.
> We've been really bad at allocating capital to people who are building important and highly influential software

What does this mean? Can you give an example?
Xi has said that if peaceful unification doesn't happen, it will happen through force. I think that's what he's going to do. People just love to cope around hard topics.
> their own negligence.

The US took Ukraine’s nukes in exchange for safety guarantees.

The true extent of US commitment to european security has been clear to everyone for at least ten years.

Hell, the French nuclear programme was premised on the fact that Paris didn’t trust the US to defend France. Do you think the easternmost NATO states have built their military doctrine on blind trust in Uncle Sam?
Everyone prefers explicit control flows. But there's other things in the balance (noise, code density, readability), and many people think that this is pretty bad trade-off. Rust with Optionals strikes a much nicer trade-off, and personally I'd love to see a language that offers a good checked exception mechanism which would offer a lot of explicitness with most noise removed.
Thanks I'll take a look. I'm broadly aware of some of this and have read Piketty but not any of these German sources.

My concern is that if middle/upper income groups believe that a wealth tax will reduce asset prices through forced selling by the ultra wealthy, and they think that affects assets in their pensions/home/savings then they will not vote for it and therefore it won't happen. I'm looking for something which tackles this concern head on.
Not just global warming but eventually oil depletion. Fracking has given the oil industry a stay of execution but it will work until it doesn’t and the cheapest stuff is exhausted, just like conventional drilling.

We know how to build good EVs now, which means the result of this will be a lot less catastrophic than twenty or thirty years ago. We are lucky the peak oilers back then underestimated.

Idea: everyone, anytime you hit a bug or error, post a screenshot to the social media of your choice and tag it say #applesoftware. Over time this might start attracting PR attention, which seems to be most effective at getting Apple to do anything.
Never used an iPhone, but TBF these functionalities are equally hard on Android phones I used (but I never used any "higher end" phones such as Pixel). I came to the conclusion that human fingers are not exactly the best tools for them.

Not sure about iOS, but Android has sort of magnifier when users start to select so they can clearly see what characters they are selecting. It definitely helps. However, what I should want is some sort of arrow keys that I can press to select characters instead of relying on my fingers.
> If you believe that there is no NATO propaganda network that controls all of the western media, you are a victim of it.

Yep, the best propaganda is one you don't even think of as propaganda. It's just the truth.

I think Trump's tariffs are foolish, but many countries have imposed them at various times, so it's not reasonable to single out his tariffs as an "act of war".

To be very clear, the title refers to nuclear energy, which may not be immediately obvious given the current geopolitical climate.
Isn't the price of a KW of solar panels similar to the price of a KW of nuclear power these days?

I wonder what hinders us to replace the roofs of all houses with solar panels and put batteries in all cellars?

It might still be useful to build out nuclear power plants. But the solar+battery approach seems like an easier first step to increase the available power, doesn't it?
Also light transport works great for for single people and dinks. Once people have kids they likely would want a car. By that time you don’t want to do daily shopping and you don’t want to carry four bags of groceries on a bus, plus on average a couple of times a month you need to transport bulkier items -yes you could rent a car for that each time, but people like ad hoc convenience, they don’t like planning things in advance, if they can avoid it.
I’m ready for a third operating system, not tied to an advertising company, where you have root access to inspect them system, revenue is generated through OS refreshes and SDK licensure.

Have you ever had success with Miri on non-trivial programs? Here's a reduced test case which does show it's safe under Miri but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get rid of the unsafe: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

> Do you have a citation for this? I don't believe this is the case, though I could be wrong. I actually spent some time trying to find a definitive answer here and couldn't. That said,

No and thinking about it more I'm not sure about the specific requirements that constitutes full program inference so it's possible it's not. However, I do know that it infers the return type signatures of functions from the bodies.

> This is true for sure; for example, TypeScript is deliberately unsound, and that's a great choice for it, but does not make sense for Rust

Sure but I think we can agree that the deliberately unsound is for ergonomic and pragmatic compatibility with JS, not because of the choice of inference.

I'm not arguing Rust should change it's inference strategy. Of all the things, I'd rate this quite low on my wishlist of "what would I change about how Rust works if I could wave a magic wand".
I have no thoughts on whether it's actually fake, but it can be to appear financially healthy / boost company image, to gather resumes, to gather information about the job market, to comply with internal policies that say jobs most be posted externally even when planning to promote internally, etc.
If only those people outside of my window would just "vote with their wallets" and stop demanding a roof to live under, demand would die down and prices would stabilize again.

It's simple free market economics!

I'd also found the initial paragraph partially obscured by a video element. Removing that (Element Inspector, uBlock Origin's element zapper) fixes that for me under Firefox.
I think realistically this is the only way in the turbulent times we live in. Even in the small and interconnected Europe, you have to be completely self sustainable when the need arises. We've seen more than enough broken pipes, power lines and the like in the last year alone to underline this need.
Voldemort is another example; his name literally means "fleeing from death".
Nobody is going to wage a first strike nuclear war! Nuclear powers and MAD are irrelevant. It is conventional arms in Europe that are lacking, and Europe is re-arming as rapidly as possible for such a defence.

One must have their head in the sand to think otherwise.
There exists a whole discipline in political science and mathematics about optimality in decisional workflows. So: you advance the discipline as a priority, then you reform states.

> The fairest [would be] obviously to allow voting for everyone

Certainly not, you are playing on a shade of meaning of "obvious" (i.e. "apparent"): that is strongly unfair to the gifted, cultivated etc. - it is unfair in terms of merit. And it is unfair to those who want an optimal system at their residence, etc.
this is simply a tipping point.

the important question is, how many people left?

in my case i've been using firefox for more than 20 years, through the crashes, the memory leaks, the incompatible sites... and i disengaged, (uninstalled and deleted my account). i am not particularly gung-ho on privacy, all and all a pretty run-of-the-mill middle of the road guy. i wouldn't be surprised if they lost a high 1-digit or low 2-digit percentage of their user base with that debacle...

with the drop in image i fear they lost a lot of potential new users too... that might be the hardest hit. this might accelerate their slow descent into irrelevancy...
Even according to platonism souls are forms and forms are described by science. The only difference is that forms are substance and can exist detached from matter, but this doesn't affect computability. Moreover, mathematics is epitome of eidos.

Ask HN: Why did people pay Pieter Levels for his crappy game?
Here’s a corrected version of the sentence:

Pieter found success building NomadList and RemoteOK because they truly add value to others, but most of his other projects are subpar. People tend to admire those who make more money than they do, which is why they follow him and congratulate him even when he shares a project that adds no value, like his recent game. There are smarter people building complex SaaS products for the B2B market, earning less than his job board, RemoteOK. His large audience helps him reach more customers and gain attention for the early versions of his new products. One thing I agree with him on is his approach to keeping things simple when building his products, especially in terms of tech stack and design.

The only advice I would give to other indie makers is to pay more attention to smaller makers and reshare their work. It will benefit both parties — who knows, maybe they'll gain a customer from your followers. We should spread this mentality so small makers who build great products get more attention.
I think the implication isn't that there are bugs they are immediately concerned about, but that other issues not being addressed might mean that should they run into a bug that does cause problems there may not be a timely solution, if any.

errcheck will not catch everything. For example, it will not stop you from using a value before checking the error, as long as you check the error later. I've personally broken things in production because of that corner case, despite (usually) being very careful about error handling.

UK's birth rate is 1.44. Someone is going to have to pay for your upkeep in old age.

Most political problems of today stem from the fact that politicians are unwilling to explain this basic fact to their none-too-bright constituents.

Only those who are incapable of reasoning would think that will change by electing the people who defend corporations abilities to underpay, overcharge for healthcare, and to not pay taxes.
