HN people should take note with their overly architected weird latest tech setups that will never have any traffic; just make it work, worry about the rest later!
Next has been a nightmare to use every step of the way. Endless undocumented ways to shoot yourself in the foot, especially if you’re trying to deploy somewhere other than Vercel. I can’t imagine anyone using it for anything other than the most basic CRUD app. And even then I’d recommend not using it.
Tangential but it's a shame people are often missing the opportunity to align jsonrpc with programming language semantics 1) name methods so they can be methods in programming langugage (no "/" in names like MCP does) 2) use arity based calling convention (no named params, use array instead because that's what your programming language does when you define functions or methods; if you want named params, just use object as first argument).

Following those two principles means your implementation ends up as simple class, with simple methods, with simple params - possibly using decorators to expose it as rpc and perform runtime type assertion for params (exposing rpc, server side) and result (using rpc, client side) – consuming jsonrpc now looks like using any ordinary library/package that happens to have async methods (this is important, there is no special dialect of communication, it's all ordinary semantics everybody is already used to, your code on client and server side doesn't jump between mapping to/from language and jsonrpc, there is a lot of complexity that's collapsed, code looks minimal, it's small, natural to read etc).

Notifications also map naturally to well established pattern (ie. event emitter in nodejs).

And yes, that's my main criticism of MCP – you're making standard for communication meant to be used from different languages, why adding this silly, unnecessary complexity by using "/" in method names? It frankly feels like amateur mistake by somebody who thinks it should be a bit like REST where method is URL path.

Another tangent – this declaration of available enpoints is unnecessarily complicated – you can just use url: file://.. scheme to start process on that executable with stdin/stdout as communication channels (this idea is great btw, good job!), ws:// or wss:// for websocket comms to existing service and http:// or https:// for jsonrpc over http (no notifications).

Tracking Open-Source Speech and Audio on GitHub – First Article
I remember reading that book when it clicked how frustrating the doors at my grad school uni could be: they had what is clearly a "pull" handle on both sides, but it only opened one way. They just added signs that said "Poussez" (push in French) on the push side because clearly no one thought about the design before installing it! It's unbelievable in the decades since that building my office was in was built, no one thought "hey let's put plates on this side so you CAN'T pull".
I think these stats are for running with the built in next.js server?

For shits and giggles, you should try compiling to completely static files, then host them with nginx.

It implicitly paints the administration, and thus Elon Musk, and thus Silicon Valley bigwigs, in a bad light.

Ask HN: How to write end user agreement and liscenses
Hi. I'm prep to sell software program liscense. One creative common restricting commercial use another allowing commercial use.

I also need to Copyright protect my computer program and a tutorial text.

Copyright Liscense I can pick from online and provide the buyer.

What about commercial liscense and end user agreement?

Copyright I'll have to pay legal.

These thoughts are heavy in head. Im not sure if I'm using right words to communicate or ask what I need.

I need to protect my software, for formality, and to learn legals, and to sell to businesses. If non business use my software or duplicate it, it's fine, but I want to be strong if some other businesses uses my technique. What's next step for me?

Good article. It demonstrates the necessity of rigorous clinical trials for therapeutic approval. It’s a very long and arduous process to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a new drug is effective.
I don't know if Trump will pardon him but I also wouldn't be surprised. Doing things simply to spite liberals, no matter how stupid they are, is one of his few guiding principles. Most liberals correctly think the SBF should be in prison and some percentage would get vocally upset about a blatant criminal walking free for no reason.

It's not the strongest case for SBF so I don't know if it will happen, but I'd put it at more like 30-40% than the something like 1-5%.
He is a very typical 'build in the open' guy (he is more famous and makes more than most of them but his strategy is typical); there are very many on x and bsky; they build and launch fast, many of them launch 10+ products/year to see what sticks and when money comes in, they use those buyers to launch yet more products. As long as the barrage of products makes enough as a whole, you just need to keep pushing more and more. It works; it will never be a unicorn but it gives Levels and others a nice life without much stress and you are accountable to no one and product fail doesn't matter.

I hate the term vibe coding, but as I understand it, it means just blabbering to cursor (or so) with working code as a result; he didn't do that as cursor (or replit or whatever current) cannot do that for more than hello world; if you do not read the generated code and specifically correct it when the ai gets stuck, it simply won't work. Levels can read and write code; people who want to 'vibe code' often cannot.

I kept the starmap from the Sega Genesis version of Starflight on my wall for decades. I had hand-drawn the wormholes I had discovered on it. Not being able to reveal perfect playthrough strategies and information with just a web search definitely made gaming a different experience.

Sensationalist headline. The US market being down (temporarily) is a good thing for America - it lowers bond rates and makes it much easier to manage the out of control national debt. This is a good thing for investor confidence in the long term.
In addition to bundling, Google has also been massively pushing it via ads.

As far as I know Chrome is the only thing that has been advertised on Googles famously clean "front page" before making a search.

That tells me something about how important it has been for them to push it.

There's also the way they've used deceptive ads ("download a better browser") to me and many other Firefox users over the years. (No, a browser that leaks my browsing habits to the worlds biggest advertising company while not supporting vertical tabs a decade after it entered the market certainly isn't best for me.)
You almost seem gleeful at the idea of creeping repression, increasingly severe social controls and a heavy handed state being able to crush what it pleases, with no recourse for rebellious efforts.

So much for the "hacker" in hacker news, and all the ethos behind that word. Instead what we get is pedantic social control freaks flinging smugness as if it were feces at anyone who dares think about the usefulness of things that work around surveillance.
>Many people try theanine and report wow or great for ADHD or cured my (social) anxiety or changing my life [...] But does it really work?

As someone who has dealt with insomnia and anxiety disorder in the past, the answer to that is, no. If green tea cured anxiety you'd know by now and all of Asia would be anxiety free.

Insomniacs will usually do the reverse, they'll say manically monitor every bit of caffeine they consume, yet when you read studies, giving people 400 mg of caffeine (~4 cups of coffee) delays sleep by 30 minutes or so. That's not why you lay awake hours, likewise nothing you get over the counter fixes your anxiety.

These things are crutches and attachments people take (or avoid) to try to control anxiety, which makes it worse. The solution to this isn't turning yourself into a laboratory, which is very common behavior.
> Then again, I don't think <500 kB is too much traffic for a modern website, especially since the page is already usable after the first 100 kB.

I could not disagree more. Why does a "modern" website that just has simple static text and images need to be tens of times larger/slower to load than a simple static website with plain old HTML and CSS?

What kind of "developer experience" do you need for a static website? Just write HTML or markup and run it on a local server with hot reload -- what more do you want/need? Specifically what use cases is NextJS satisfying here?
Personal anecdote, Vitamin D is a horrible placebo.

I have been trying to increase my Vitamin D levels for 15 years now but I just can't tolerate this supplement.

Lower dosage: ~1000 IE -> side effects come after around 3-4 days of daily intake.
Higher dosage: ~5000 IE -> side effects after a few hours.

I tried following most advice over here in the past but it did not work: https://vitamindwiki.com/Vitamin+D+Cofactors+in+a+nutshell

I'll just live with my low blood Vitamin D levels.
I mean, why wouldn't I? It would be an important part of my job to find a competent set of individuals who are aligned with the company's overall goals and direction. A competent individual who is misaligned is often more damaging to a team than an incompetent aligned individual. The same is true of the individual's satisfaction with their work (i.e. `s/aligned/satisfied/g` in the above).

So my decision would necessarily require considering all of these factors: competence, satisfaction, and alignment. If their answers to an employee satisfaction survey tell me they're dissatisfied, and I can't or won't do what it takes to make them satisfied, I would be doing us both a disservice by not helping them exit the company.

At the end of the day, a company is a group of people dedicated towards some common goal. Everyone may have a different picture of how to get to that goal, but everyone should be trying to push things in the same general direction. Someone who is obviously pushing in the wrong direction or causing unnecessary friction should either be convinced to align more with the rest, convince others to push in the alternate direction, or asked to leave.

Now obviously companies should be encouraged to follow social norms in some respects, to make it clear that certain ways that they act are not tolerated by the society they exist within. However, this is still an inherently social problem, and requires social solutions.

If you feel like you're the odd one out, and that the majority of people in the company--or maybe just "the leadership"--are wrong, consider that at the end of the day, the reason usually comes down to "other people don't think like you". There are two things you can do about this:

1) change other people's minds. You generally can't do this by actively fighting against them, so you should at least make it clear you align with them in some way that matters to the company, first.
2) you can find a different group of people to work with, people who think more like you.

Consider that if the second option doesn't exist, you always have the option of doing it yourself.
I don’t think he’s particularly frugal. How much money did he blow buying his favorite social network again?

DOGE (and Twitter) are examples of a modern American business management affliction: if you can’t think of anything to create, the next best thing is to start tearing other things down in the name of “efficiency”. Reap the short term benefits and then get out before it collapses.
Those facilities are incredibly overrated. Most universities have outdated labs not state of the art stuff. And certainly they aren’t in line with the cost. Berkeley doesn’t even have supercomputers.

> Please respect all code comments, they're usually there for a reason. Remove them ONLY if they're completely irrelevant after a code change. if unsure, do not remove the comment.

I've resorted to carefully explaining the design architecture in an architecture.md file within the parent folder, and giving detailed comments at the top of the file and just basically let the AI shoot from there. It works decently, although from time to time I have to go sync the comments with reality. Maybe I'll try going back to jsdoc style comments with this rule
This is so stupid I love it.
I am somewhat shocked by the level of incredulity people are having in this thread toward having an alternative to traditional APIs for use with LLMs. It is a lot of the same "If the AI is incapable of <blah blah> then why would anyone use it?". I guess I don't see what the big deal is in having a more robust standard for interfacing with a system such as LLMs. Do they fear the engineering effort is orders of magnitude? I mean really, I think it is more of an anti-AI or anti-LLM sort of sentiment, which, frankly, I am quite sympathetic to, but this is sort a bad argument or position to have.
A shitpost doesn't have to be low effort, rather I'd argue the greatest ones are often quite high effort, and invoke a sense of poetry and lucidity that makes you question what could've gone on inside the head of the person that made it. That style of shitposting was part of the culture of 4chan's now-defunct textboards, and even back then it was markedly different from (and for the most part ignored by) the rest of the site.

For what it's worth, copypastas are the highest (and likely the oldest) form of meme.
It's essentially impossible to get the consensus needed in such a partian era. Maybe if and when we're in a different era, but that could be an awfully long time coming.
I suspect that an MCP is just a rebranded API. We have also seen these sorts of extensibility mechanisms before. Browser extensions, Object Linking and Embedding, Dynamic Data Exchange, and Visual Studio Code extensions are all examples of having a standard API which allows lots of different things to plug into it.
I've been using L-Theanine for a over a year now and then and it definitely has effects!

I use it mostly for sleep 100-150mg in combination of 5HTP which I found it to be an incredible sleep cocktail. I generally don't have trouble sleeping but this cocktail gives me great dreams and increase the quality of my sleep where 6-7 hours is very much enough for me compared to the usual 8-9. Unsurprisingly, l-theanine is popular in lucid dreaming communities and while I have no particular interest lucid dreaming my dreams are definitely more vivid and most importantly instantly forgettable (like normal dreams are) which is the most desirable outcome imo.

250+mg does have my mind racing a bit and this dose will prevent me from falling asleep effectively (at body weight of 75kg), anything above 200mg seems too much imo for my body weight. So I think the effect is very much observable just through dose variability.

For day use I've tried l-theanine with caffeine in the morning and I'd say the effect is similar to mild adhd medication (I've been told it compares to like ~2mg of Ritallin or pinch of Kratom powder). Tho for me it always comes with side effects similar to a cup of too much coffee would have. I found that just like adhd medicine, it works best with a protein shake.

This is my unscientific anecdote, tho OP's post makes me want to record my own experiences.
Companies update their UI to stay modern, improve usability, align with new design trends, enhance performance, and differentiate from competitors. It also helps keep users engaged, address feedback, and integrate new features more seamlessly.

In theory at least.
It's just nuts that the "penalty" for violating antitrust law is that the offender gets to sell part of themselves and receive compensation. Engaging in unfair competition or obtaining too large a market share should be punished with remedies that make the perpetrator worse off than it was before it began the offending behavior.
I honestly clearly don't understand the downstream disagreement myself, am getting tired of being shouted at today, and feel like entering this part of the thread by replying to someone who was clearly already past their breaking point to defend what they had already claimed was an "idiotic take that many people seem to have", was a mistake ;P.
I have no particular views on performance but the thing i keep hearing about next of 'this is solved by using one particular hosting provider' really surprises me as something people are ok with.

This is mistaken. It was effectively true until recently but all kinds of people are building things with it now. This article is likely on HN today because there has been a surge of general interest lately. Here's another example: https://github.com/block/goose. MCP servers are a bit heavyweight but most common case is probably using those developed and/or hosted by others. Clients (e.g. Cursor, Claude Desktop) on the other hand will likely be widespread before long.
But not free as in beer?

Hard to tell from their site tbh, it is possible to pay but if they have free options I didn’t wade through enough product info to find them.
Definitely should be dollar cost averaging. One just has to look at the s&p 500 chart[0] to see where it's going over time. Looking at the charts it's way more inclusive informative than articles like this.

The market is always up eventually and unless one is close to retirement, nothing to worry about.

We get a correction like this almost every year and it's nowhere close yet to the correction we had in 2022[0]

> The only viable business model for a web browser, the one that literally all major browsers use, is to accept money from a search engine (Google, specifically) to be make them the default. Even Kagi makes its own Orion web browser, for exactly this reason.

The only viable business model ... while the incumbent (IE, now Chrome) is allowed to give the product away for free in service of some other predatory agenda.
Yes! Because their socialist-ish or simply paternalist/statist governments made things illegal to prevent "inequality" or simply to keep things under state control as much as possible, but the people want to save for retirement and they want to build startups, too.

Quite obviously, interests of people, society, and the state are always in contradiction.

People want to be rich and free.

Government wants to control and redistribute (merely as a tool of control), and make people into slaves.

Society wants equality (inequality creates oligarchy and poor masses too easy to manipulate).

So they are all in inevitable contradiction and countries mostly differ in who of them is stronger: in America, people are the strongest. In Europe, societies are. In Russia, state is.

America provides all of us a way out of the contradiction: countries can be statist of socialist however they like; people channel their capitalist instincts to America. The entire world lives this double life for generations and we are all frightened with the perspective of this ending one day. If that happens, rest of the world could be truly devoured by millions of ambitions people now seeing no way to realise their ambitions.
Just as a heads up, the Firefox iOS app makes it super easy to set Kagi to your default search engine.

I think it might have even just sync’d over from my desktop settings? I never even thought about it, it just worked.

First find a similar site doing what you do. In one prompt, copy and paste their license, terms, and privacy into GPT. Copy your program description and other info (like you want to copyright your text, you want creative common and commercial aspects) into GPT. Tell GPT that you gave it an example license, terms, and privacy but you want the three modified for your particular use case. Press Enter. Modify the results slightly. Profit.

This is what I did.
Safari is really good.

But I have to admit extensions are really lacking, both the infrastructure for installing them and which extensions are available.

I now use Orion which is based on Safari but has native vertical tabs (although not native vertical hierarchical tabs, or support for dumping them as markdown).
I used Presenterm for a work presentation recently. Being able to seamlessly transition from slides to example code in Vim is really, really nice. No need to jungle multiple windows, just terminal tabs or even ctrl+z/fg. Plus it looks really cool.
