Modern comedic, self aware irony, yes.

Classic Real Irony™ ? No.

a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.
Yup, if you track your job applications there are statuses like "Applied", "Interviewing", "Rejected", "Ghosted", "Offered". So that could fall under "Ghosted". You could also add response dates which is how long it took to receive a reply after applying / interviewing and your interview experience. All these are transparent and everyone can see them.

There's also a "Report Job" button in place for flagging invalid job postings, which you could add a note with the reason for reporting.

However, there is a caveat, since this is community-driven so like another commenter mentioned, there could be bad actors. One way to solve that in the future is to have community moderators / some kind of verification.

> Guiding people away from the writings of random nobodies in favor of mainstream authorities doesn't feel entirely proper.

Why not? I think the issue is the word "mainstream". If by mainstream, we mean pre-Internet authorities, such as leading newspapers, then I think that's inappropriate and an odd prejudice.

But we could use 'authorities' to improve the quality of social media - that is, create a category of social media that follows high standards. There's nothing about the medium that prevents it.

There's not much difference between a blog entry and scientific journal publication: The founders of the scientific method wrote letters and reports about what they found; they could just as well have posted it on their blogs, if they could.

At some point, a few decided they would follow certain standards --- You have to see it yourself. You need publicly verifiable evidence. You need a falsifiable claim. You need to prove that the observed phenomena can be generalized. You should start with a review of prior research following this standard. Etc. --- Journalists follow similar standards, as do courts.

There's no reason bloggers can't do the same, or some bloggers and social media posters, and then they could join the group of 'authorities'. Why not? For the ones who are serious and want to be taken seriously, why not? How could they settle for less for their own work product?
I work as a programmer for the financial industry. (We do integrations with brokers, data aggregation, near realtime execution for mid frequency trading). I don't integrate them with my text editor. Pretty much all LLM code is sub-par no matter how advanced the model (likes to sprinkle hash maps everywhere a simple vector is fine, makes up functions even if you show headers) BUT sometimes it motivates me like a clown, or a rubber duck. Or a therapy cat. So overall it feels like a 5% increase in productivity for me.
It's a bit disappointing that Vitamin D was used as a control, since based on my research, Vitamin D does seem to have very significant effects on mood. Author says:

> Vitamin D might have some effects on mood, but no one seems to claim that they’re acute, that you’d feel them within an hour.

As far as I remember, this is correct, which is to say, I've never read anything that claimed the effects of vitamin D were acute. However, this seems like it still leaves a pretty big gap to me: you're taking a known mood-altering substance and basically hoping that the effects aren't acute because nobody has bothered to test whether they are or not.

That said, this is a minor complaint, and this test is far more scientific than the vast majority of self-experiments.
My .cursorrules files tend to be longer, but I don't use it for any of the stuff that this example does. I use to explain project-specific details so the model doesn't have to re-figure out what we're doing at the start of every conversation. Here are a couple examples from recent open source projects:

https://github.com/brianluft/social-media-translator/blob/ma...

https://github.com/brianluft/threadloaf/blob/main/.cursorrul...

I tell it what we're working on, the general components, how to build and run, then an accumulated tips section. It's critical to teach the model how to run the build+run feedback loop so it can fix its own mistakes without your involvement. Enable "yolo mode" in Cursor and allow it to build and run autonomously.

Finally, remember: you can have the model update its own .cursorrules file.
Even on Earth colonies would be unlikely to be targeted. Nukes are limited, valuable, and going to be expended on targets in order of priority. For instance Peurto Rico would be extremely unlikely to be a target because it's just a completely worthless target in spite of having millions of Americans. Even from a morale crushing perspective, Americans do not consider Puerto Ricans Americans, in the same way that 'Martian Americans' will not be considered Americans for those living stateside. You'd achieve nothing.
You could say that a single class of programming where is teached loops, variables, data structures is enough for most of the work in the industry as well.
Yeah, I'm terrible. Totally my fault that my immune system is eating my nerves, causing widespread damage that will do everything except kill me. I should have chosen not to be born.

I should just give up and end it all, instead of contributing to the world.
More interesting than I feared. Watching ordinary people in sometimes extraordinary situations, but mostly in very ordinary ones.

I wish we had this for 50, 100, 1000 years ago. Even just the backgrounds, fashion, weather, assets, views of the normal, for deep history it's mostly inference from scant writing. Imagine seeing the ordinary lived experiences of teenagers in Charlemagnes empire. Seeing how they really wore clothes.
How many people get past the first page? I'd wager a guess its under 3%. It could be 20 results or an infinite amount, it wouldn't make a single bit of difference. It is a fact that google gets to control who and what shows up in a search, and they put paying entries at the top. There are many problems with this. They have also de-listed websites from google search, and are at a high risk of complying with any government request to censor topics. Which, again, is not good for humanity.
The people who don't care about the time shift don't care about the time zone either. They are happy with or at least indifferent to the time changes.

The people saying "just pick one" usually care deeply about which one is picked. We've already done surveys and studies. 45% of the people really want to be on standard time year round, 45% of the people want to be on daylight time year round. The rest don't care.

So we keep the status quo because we can't agree on what to change it to.
PiHole, or equivalent DNS-based blocking tools protect networks, presuming your DHCP server points clients to the PiHole DNS server. ALL devices and apps on those devices which rely on the indicated DNS server benefit.

uBlock Origin protects individual browser profiles only. That is, if you have uBlock Origin installed and it's enabled on a given browser profile, that specific usage is protected.

Yes, uBo gives far more power in blocking online content, where it's available. But it only goes so far.

With PiHole, one of the disadvantages is that when you use another network you lose all your ad / malware blocking protections. I find it jarring when I use a tool w/o any native ad-blocking on an outside network.

Best practice is to use both DNS-based blocking (for global coverage on your LAN) AND uBlock Origin for browser instances where it's available (desktop generally, Firefox/Android on mobile).
I agree with everything in the post but I still like using Svelte. We've adopted our own Store class and decorators which eliminates some of the issues in the post.

class Wrapper extends Store {
@state() accessor dom: HTMLElement;
constructor(el: HTMLElement) { this.dom = el; }
}

The advantages here are that a) we don't need the .svelte.ts postfix and b) @state() makes TS support flawless with runes. And since we only use classes for state, most of the other objections in the post are mitigated. On the bindable issue, we simply just don't use that feature - one way dataflow ftw! :)

I'm not saying Svelte 5 is flawless at all, but I think we found an approach that minimizes the downsides. The upside is really good performance and a metaframework that makes the most sense out of all the current options.
What is "the Kardashian saga" as it relates to MR?
Just tried it, I can write an email from one of my addresses: something@example.pro, other@example.pro, another@example.pro.

But not from an alias: something+johnny@example.pro, other+spoon@example.pro, another+kettle@example.pro.

Addresses are limited in number, 5 on my plan. Aliases are unlimited.

For the second, they've already implemented a feature on their web client to download emails locally so you can search in the body of the messages.

That's certainly an interesting thing I wish we knew more about. My qualitative experience is that coffee gives me more anxiety than any other form of caffeine I've tried, including ones that don't contain L-theanine.
Or maybe it doesn't actually make him less nervous, in which case the beta-carbolines are irrelevant.
Not sure why you need to jump to LLM hallucinations as some kind of advance when a much simpler method of looking up a sequence of letters in a dictionary would suffice

"Existed for decades" sure, but some design bugs persist for centuries, that's not enough to be confident a fix is very hard
> This is built into everything I've ever used

Ah but in trendy microservices world, it isn’t in many micro frameworks, you have to reinvent it
After y'all've had such great success with the Stacked Contractions movement starting in 2017 -- which I would like to take credit for independently spearheading on the Neopets forums in the mid-2000s, but I'dn't've been able to do it all myself of course -- I'd like to propose our next campaign.

Let's bring back pronominal adverbs! You may already be familiar with such classics as "therefore" or "whereas". Why not revive all of them? No longer are "hereunder" and "thereinafter" the sole domain of lawyers. That alone would be an epic meme indeed, but we must go therebeyond. It is difficult to believe that anyone ever actually used words like "therethroughout" or "wherewithin", but we can make sure someone does.

You can even make up your own!

Just take any demonstrative (this/that/these/those), interrogative (what/which/who/where), or third-person personal pronoun, and turn it into the corresponding locative adverb, depending on whether you want to indicate being at, coming from, or going to something:

This -> Here/Hence/Hither;

That -> There/Thence/Thither;

What/who/which -> Where/Whence/Whither;

Him/Her/Them -> There/Thence/Thither; etc.

Makes sense? No questions? Great!

Now pick your favorite preposition and stick it on the end. Don't forget to experiment with some archaic prepositions like "anighst", "overthwart", and -- here's a really good one -- "withinside". That one means "within / inside" and I'm sure you can already see the potential.

"What place should I go into?" Nope! "Whitherwithinside should I go?" Now we're talking.
This is more of the same propaganda that is being discussed that social media creates. I'm surprised that you don't see it. You're making these claims like "vilifying immigrants", which is just virtue signaling that you have "all the Correct Opinions" regarding liberal politics. There are no concentration camps as those from the bad people you are referencing. Regarding immigration, would you refer to Obama as a member of the Third Reich? I doubt that you would, which speaks for itself. It's extremely hyperbolic and I don't think you realize how you implying that enormous amounts of people have no problem or even think it is quite a good thing for the government to be doing things that you are likening to a group that committed actual atrocities. If Mexico was an extremely successful economic powerhouse, or Uganda, whatever, do you think they would have unfettered immigration?

Great point. A moderation system or verification features could definitely help reduce the risk of fake accounts or bad actors. If this gains enough users, it’s definitely something I'll have to tackle. Appreciate the feedback!
I am not a lawyer, so I must rely on people who are to tell me these things. And they have told me that a state can legally choose which to remain on standard time year round, but they cannot choose which time zone they are in nor can they choose to remain on daylight time year round.

So perhaps you are missing some other laws that govern this? Or perhaps it's a declaration from the Secretary of Transportation that has never been changed?
That post pax world isn't inbound anytime soon, despite the irrational hysteria going on right now. Trump has 3.x years remaining. People are acting like he's going to remain for decades. There is no next Trump, he has a unique hold over the MAGA base that was key to his election.

For now post Pax America is merely a fantasy that reveals a lot about the people that think it's happening now (they're showing their personal preference). The same things were said due to Trump's first term also. Instead the US got more powerful and far richer in the time since then.

Back in reality, the 1860s, 1930s and 1970s were worse for the US than anything going on now. The 1930s were drastically worse. The US as superpower has survived far worse than Trump and it'll do it again.

Edge is chromium based not chrome based. Google is not the default search engine on edge nor does it have any real control over the edge experience which Microsoft couldn't change itself.

It’s not just having physical buttons that matters, they must also not have other poor design decisions.

Our secondary, very short trip car, is an old 2008 VW Polo and although it has physical AC and recycle air buttons, they chose to make them be toggle buttons as opposed to ones you can feel/see are pressed in or not.

They have a backlight to indicate their “on” status but (and maybe it’s worse because it’s old) you can’t see the backlight in bright sunlight and I have to shadow them with my hand to see.

The final annoyance with this is if I turn off the car with the fan speed turned to “off”, when I next start the car it has forgotten the on/off state of each of the two buttons.

So these buttons, although being physical, are almost as bad as soft touch buttons. If they had just made them buttons which are either pressed in or out, all these annoyances wouldn’t exist.

Obviously the Polos would have changed completely now, but I haven’t checked VWs much though as in South Africa you get considerably less car for your money compared to most other brands, but VWs still seem pretty popular for what I can only guess is status symbol reasons.

Quasi isolationist for four years. Any Democrat elected will immediately obliterate Trump's executive orders (including those that are trade related). One would have to believe Trump's politics will rule the US for the long-term (there is no reason to believe that).

My involvement level here is "I'm deep into the implementation and use of my own MCP server," I very much already knew about Goose. I don't think OP or I made our point clear here if you're seeing Goose as a counterargument. Goose is just another MCP client like Cursor and Claude Desktop and MCP is, indeed, its extension API. As OP said, if you are writing your own app that interacts directly with a model API, rather than using a generic app that specifically offers AI agent capability with an extension API, then you'll need to use the model's function calling capability directly. MCP is a very thin layer on top specifically for these agent apps.

I've been thinking the same thing! The app should have protocol templates for whatever intervention I'm testing, what outcomes I should track, and what confounds might be. And if it isn't part of the templates, help me develop the protocol, including being able to set what level of confidence I want. It should tell me what actions I should take to improve confidence (e.g. bloodwork). It should hide the results from me until the overall intervention is complete.

All the other health apps and tracking systems I've seen are operating at one level of abstraction too low (just the data itself and its direct insights), or try to find patterns from p-hacking passive signals (it looks like when you work out you sleep better, did you know your HRV is 1.1 higher when you do [unrelated thing]). There's no buy-in or sense of direction in these products, no pushing me to do more to acquire data, no laser focus on a targeted test / intervention.
> That's why they won't suffer hostile forces putting missile bases only a few miles from their border.

Nobody put any missiles in Eastern Europe. That's a worn-out Russian talking point that lacks any substance.

And the Cuban missile crisis proves exactly the opposite of what you are trying to argue. I stress the name: MISSILE crisis. After nuclear missiles were removed, Cuba remained an ally of the USSR until its very end and continued to host conventional Soviet forces. The USSR equipped Cuba with weapons such as Koni-class frigates and SA-8 surface-to-air missile systems, gave them hundreds of T-55 and T-62 tanks, stationed Soviet bombers and fighter jets in Cuba, and used Cuban ports to conduct exercises such as sailing missile cruisers like Admiral Isakov within 50 miles of the Mississippi coast in the 1980s. The cooperation, including visits by Russian warships to Cuban ports with exercises 30 miles off the Florida coast, continues to this day: https://www.tampabay.com/life-culture/history/2024/06/12/rus...

If Cuba is a blueprint for you, then you have nothing to complain about. Even full members of NATO do not receive this level of support from the alliance.

For a community that prides itself on critical thinking, I'm always surprised to see HN lap this sort of pseudoscientific witch-doctor stuff up.

Beyond the developer, the user massively benefits from MCP. Like you said, using any other SDK to build is a very valid approach but then you are tied down to a single client that you have built on that SDK.

If you would like to switch clients, then you have build it yourself. MCP solves this very well since, any MCP supported client can use the same tools/resources that you have built.
I have mentioned this elsewhere online but I was once attending a talk in the computer history museum for which I had turned up early. An elderly gentleman took his seat right before me - it took me a while to process that it was Knuth (in reality, it was less to do with processing and more with accepting!).

Somewhat recently we spotted him at a Hitchcock movie festival at Palo Alto, which my wife and I were attending.
