I didn't expect the comments in here to be so negative.

It's a decent service in itself and a good alternative to many other traditional VM-based hosting companies, which Europe is absolutely full of. They are not really competing with the hyperscalers, nor even Digital Ocean in my opinion, but rather providers that likely sell pre-committed OpenStack clusters and such.

I don't believe they are fully clear of American-owned companies in their entire dependency chain, nor do I believe that it's possible to do that today. Companies like Equinix provide a damn good solution for homogenized infrastructure that is invaluable for cloud providers.
What have you actually built and deployed using this "vibe coding" methodology?

So far, I've mostly seen proof-of-concept applications that might qualify as decent game jam entries - contexts where experimental implementation is expected ("jank allowed").

I'm curious about production applications: Has anyone developed robust, maintainable agent systems using this approach that didn't require significant refactoring or rewrites even?

What's been your experience with its viability in real-world environments beyond prototyping?

I'd protect my GitHub account with 2FA and configure GitHub Actions to trigger on creating a release in GitHub. That way my release process is fully automated but still protected by 2FA, in this case GitHub's 2FA implementation.
> Doesn't that effectively defeat the purpose of 2FA?

Yes and No. You need to 2FA in the first place to get the credentials in place. After that it's just basic secrets management - your steam credentials are no more or less secure than your playfab developer secret that you use to upload servers, or the credentials that you use on your AWS machine to do the deploy.

There's no way to generate a service token for steam that says "this is allowed to deploy builds only", like a gha token, or an AWS credential. Both of those require you to 2FA to generate the token in the first place. Ultimately, if steam really cared about security they would allow for something like this, like every other modern provider does. But they haven't exactly kept up with "modern" best practices.

> Personally, I feel like I'd automate it in a way that everything up until that point is automated, but the actual "release" (upload really) to Steam would be in a different step that asks for the 2FA every single time, on purpose, so I actually get the benefits of a 2FA together with automating most of the pipeline while still having control of the final release.

You can't upload builds above a certain size manually to steam, you need to use steamcmd. Steam isn't just for releasing public builds, we use it for playtesting for example. So our CI uploads versions of our game to private betas on steam for our team to be able to jump into, like a staging environment. Requiring a manual step for that in another tool, with another set of credentials and scopes to manage is a bigger risk (IMO) than managing an extra secret. If you do these steps as manual steps but make the "release" step a manual step, then you've introduced a massive untested failure point in your deployment pipeline that happens at the latest possible moment. If you have servers to manage, or clients on another storefront (Epic, GoG, PSN/Xbox) you need to ensure versions are coordinated; and now you're potentially asking someone to log into 5 dashboards to set manually upload versions and set builds.

There's no reason games should be exempt from CICD best practices, IMO.

Judgement is passed by the end of the term. So that's a open question for now.

> how the 'feedback loop' works for elon musk and robert kennedy jr, as they are not in the feedback loop of voting

They were appointed by someone that was elected. So their fuck-ups count against whoever appointed them.

But this is not to say democracy as implemented is always perfect. For it to work properly I think a diverse pool of viable would-be leaders must be present, to maximize the odds of at least one well aligned being present for people to choose. Indirect voting and the bipartisan system screw this, creating moral hazards and poor fit candidates that just take turns between them.

It's like we know evolution works, but if everybody starts marrying their cousin, the gene pool will lose the raw diversity necessary for evolution to work.

Democracy must be fixed, not terminated.
There is a weird attitude among European elites where on the one hand, they point out how European countries have always been in a subservient position within the American sphere of influence, but then, instead of cheering that this era is ending, they seem to be all upset about it and want their collar to be put back on.
Help me understand this. To me it seems that maybe the interests of EU elites differ from the interests of the EU common classes. The EU elites seem to have considered themselves as basically equivalent to American citizens in all but name, and were quite happy selling out their native countries in return for access to America.
Been true for a long time.

We built an MCP for our own API at https://definite.app. Here's how I use it:

We often help customers set up their "data model". We use Cube (open source semantic layer) for this and need to write many files in a mix of SQL and YAML that defines what tables and columns they'll see in the UI.

This can be pretty tedious, but claude / cursor is very good at it. You feed in the schema (via an MCP) and can provide some questions the user wants to answer. Here's how it might look on one question:

1. The user wants to answer "Which channels from hubspot generate the highest LTV customers? Which channels have the lowest churn?"

2. The agent will search the schema for relevant raw data and start editing the data model. In this example, we might need to add a join between hubspot and stripe.

3. Once it has the raw data and an idea of how they relate, we'll create metrics and dimensions that answer the question.

We'll add these abilities to our built-in agent once we perfect a few things, but I see MCP's as a good testing ground for things you ultimately want to build into your own agent.
There's not much resistance to someone wanting your DNA. It's so trivial to get that you'd basically need to become a hermit to try and prevent it. A hermit that shaves themselves and burns their trash, one that lives with gloves on dyrung every waking hour and disinfects their chair and bed daily.

It's not really something the mass population can physically prevent from a determined actor. Like data, you need to regulate it instead of take excessive preventative measures.

Signalling? Talks about investing 800 billion in the military industry across the EU would have been unthinkable 4 months ago. Now they're proceeding at a speed that is staggering when you see how long these talks/processes normally take.

EU cloud is certainly much discussed, and more than that. Holland for instance voted and accepted a resolution last week for more digital sovereignty. This doesn't mean we'll have an AWS competitor overnight, but we're also only 3 months in.

The German soda market is very very regionalized, along the same lines as the beer market (20 to 50km around the brewery, further away you won't get it anymore. Very big brands are exceptions of course). Practically every brewery (there are over a thousand) has its own line of sodas, usually white (lemon or lime) lemonade, yellow (orange) lemonade (both carbonated around here), spezi (cola plus orange), cola (some coca cola copy) and apfelschorle (apple juice plus carbonated water).

Additionally there are a few that cater to certain groups with special products like mate soda (Loscher invented it with Club Mate I guess, but nowadays there are 10 big brands and a few small ones) and special kinds of cola like AfriCola or Mate Cola. Fritz-Kola is one of those products, you can get it in every city in well-stocked supermarkets, but it is a product that only caters to a certain kind of people and establishments (think "Berlin-like club-going techno-mad party-crowd" maybe). So many places will carry something else that caters to their group, and their region.

That is also why the Coca-Cola marketshare that the sister comment mentioned will go down, but it will not be replaced by another big producer, just maybe a handful of nationwide brands plus tons of regional ones.

In the current world gigacorps, moving fast and breaking shit is good business

Democracies are NOT about moving fast and breaking shit.

Its hardly surprising that the gigacorp crowd want to replace Democracy with something they feel is doing so well.
You could argue that it goes back to when Bush became president despite losing the election to Al Gore, by suppressing recounts that later proved that he lost.

The Democrats have been allowing this for too long and are equally complacent. Nancy Pelosi doing insider trading is just the tip of the iceberg, quite literally speaking as the house speaker.

The Wright brothers have invented many components of an airplane, which made powered flight possible, but it seems inappropriate to say that they have invented an "airplane".

The idea of making an "airplane", with fixed wings and with screw propellers, had been widespread for most of the second half of the 19th century, and it had been discussed in countless publications and in "heavier-than-air" flight clubs.

However, before the Wright brothers, nobody had succeeded to build such an airplane that actually worked, the main reason being the lack of an appropriate system of aircraft controls, like that conceived by the Wright brothers.

The patent obtained by the Wright brothers, is formulated very well and of course it does not claim to have invented any new kind of flying machine, but it claims certain new and useful improvements in flying machines of the airplane kind (most of which refer to the aircraft control surfaces).

You're giving a lot of credit to the EU. I'm european, I live in the EU. I talk with many other europeans and they all have the same point of view: the EU is fading into irrelevancy and most EU capital cities are quickly becoming complete, total and utter shitholes.

> So now EU is investing in their own tech and military ...

It's amazing that we're supposed to believe there's going to be a EU renaissance now that, for the third time, the EU wants to begin a world war. There's talks of gigantic investments in the EU war machine, talks of making the military service mandatory again in the EU, talks about how "wonderful" it is that so many young europeans are willing to go to war to save "democracy", etc.

It's really nothing short of amazing that the warmongers are happy that the EU is planning gigantic investment in its military apparatus and that that is supposed to be where the EU's renaissance shall be coming from.

What a future for the EU! Military investments!

If I had 5 million USD to spare, I'd buy the US golden visa that Trump created and I'd GTFO of the EU in a hurry.

I do believe things are going to turn from worse to shit in the EU and it's not the tens of millions of uneducated, unemployable, unwilling to adapt to western civilization armies of religious fanatics that the EU imported and keeps importing that are going to solve anything. The only outcome is that it'll accelerate the descend into shitholeness.

The EU has its own problems and there's a reason so many countries started seeing the far-right gain lots and lots of votes and this started way before and has nothing to do with Trump.

> ... is the US now GREAT enough for you yet?

It's great enough for me. Way greater than the EU.
In some areas China is even becoming more liberal than the EU.

This is the cross section of high intelligence and conscientiousness. Conscientiousness is the ability to perceive and abstract the world outside yourself and intelligence accounts of quantity of variables a person many consider simultaneously.

People who are both highly intelligent and have high conscientiousness are capable of perceiving many variables simultaneously and abstract them into refined simplified solutions. People with lower intelligence and high conscientiousness are still capable of perceiving these variables but will struggle more to put them together in a meaningful way necessary to achieve a polished result. It should be noted that conscientiousness is negatively correlated to intelligence at around -0.24 - 0.27, which is a big gap that explains why some lower intelligent people are unexpectedly more capable of high quality delivery than much higher intelligent peers.

People with low conscientiousness cannot refine complex qualities into simplified output. The cost is just too high irrespective of their intelligence. The result is sloppy output that just costs less to start over every time than to refine or extend. This will appear that these people tend to preference complexity, and in a manner of speaking that isn't completely wrong. It's not so much that they prefer complexity but that they are just incapable of expending the effort to build more meaningful systems.
Sure, but if you read their comment, it is conditioned on all of those aspects together. It's not about the language, as is, but all of them together. Is it a useless comment? absolutely! But that's beyond the scope of this conversation.
The point is, the archetypal inventor is someone who has a unique flash of insight that only they could have had. Your example is of something different: that with enough funding and smart people working on a problem, great things can be achieved.

Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to help you analyze TikTok profiles
Hello everyone

Today I'm launching a chrome extension that is designed to help you do research on other Tiktok profiles.

The inspiration came after doing many hours of research on other Tiktok profiles myself.
* What are their most popular videos?
* What hashtags are they using?
* What audio are they using?

So I built something to help me answer all these questions and give me a peak into other's people Tiktok strategy.

Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZH-35TM524

Give it a go, it's free to try. You just navigate to a tiktok profile and open the extension.

Have any questions? Let me know.
That forces dynamic imports (and is horrible ergonomics as discussed in the post). CJS requires can be statically analyzed to figure out whether a require can be static, as is done e.g. in all bundlers.

ESM import runs side effects as well.
An important distinction is that US and EU interests aligned on many important areas up until recently. So it was less of a subservient relationship, and more of a mutually beneficial one. Now that the US wants to turn it into a subservient relationship, the EU is naturally looking for other options.
Harfbuzz Release 11.0.0
I'm frequently constructing context based on up-to-date docs using curl + html2markdown[0] and custom css selectors, which is extremely tedious. MCP servers for docs would be very useful for me.

That said, I don't really expect the AI itself to come up with docs to read (maybe some day). I want it predominantly so I can manually reference it in my prompt (in e.g. the Zed assistant panel) like `/npmdocs packagename packageversion`.

But even for AI "self-driven" use-cases, I primarily see the value in read-only MCP servers that provide more context, just in an "as-needed" way, instead of me putting it there explicitly.

I don't usually reply to replies but I was asking because I'm not sure. About a decade ago I was looking into the 'Chicken tax' and went down a tariff rabbit hole. A cursory search now is quite difficult due to all of the recent news and changes. And also millionshort seems to require an account now to do advanced searches. So about the best I could do is ask ChatGPT for a chart comparing average tariff rates by sector for the US and EU before 2016. But I'd rather not.

Pretty sure this works and it is indeed possible to use ES modules without builders and a webserver, I recently rewrote a Node app this way (with Claude's help even because I'm a ES noob).
No idea about Vue and unpkg though, there could be an issue with that.

edit: eh you mean like "import 'file://module.js'", but I don't understand why would you need that when you can use "import './module.js'"
Trump seeks social media profiles of all green cards applicants
Note: original title was too long -- "Trump wants green card applicants already legally in the US to hand over social media profiles"
That article makes very little sense.

The protocol itself sits on top of JSON-RPC, and the specifications are there for anyone to implement. There's nothing specific to Claude about it.

There are various MCP client and server implementations available that are also unrelated to Anthropic.
It's two extremes. As with most things it's a spectrum, too far to either side isn't great. On the one hand you have racists and bigots, on the other you have people insisting that we should be asking everyone their preferred pronouns before addressing them and men who decide that they are now women should be allowed to compete in women's sports leagues, oh and actually gender is just a social construct because some women don't have uteruses or something like that, and so on and so forth.

To me, that's what woke means. Lots of making demands about how people should think/see things, and calling people names like TERF if they dare question the woke "truth".
The situation laid out in the article doesn’t really indicate in any way that people are just mad at Trump and fleeing to EU alternatives. Yeah that’s obviously part of the acute response in 2025, but everything indicated by the data and the points made in the article seems to say that, whether Trump made people newly aware or motivated aside, people are looking for privacy-focused software products. Mind you, a spirited interpretation of recent EU regulations and law almost requires data to live in the EU.

The US has done a terrible job regulating digital privacy irrespective of which party has held the office of president. The whole world absolutely should be challenging America to do a better job being the custodian of so much sensitive data. Competition in that market is very welcome and does not represent the death of American tech infrastructure. As an American citizen and alternative search user I love to see pressure on the Google and FB scale giants to compete at providing better privacy in their products. And I think that the only way to solve the data privacy issues rampant in our industry is through legal requirement and market pressure.

Finally, please try not to cheaply patronize Americans and Trump’s foreign policy. We can talk about this issue without the political zingers insinuating that Trump and his supporters are a bunch of reckless ye-haw cowboys-idiots.

The fact of who was first honestly does not matter: they were all amazing pioneers.

Alberto Santos Dumont created the 'Demoiselle' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santos-Dumont_Demoiselle)

Which was an amazing achievement for the time: It was (one of?) the first tail-plane configuration in the world. And also one of the first airplane to be mass produced.

This configuration is still used on almost all commercial airplane today and differed from the "canard" configuration of the Wright's flyer.

Even 120 years later, "La demoiselle" looks weirdly "modern" as an airplane configuration.
I'm not even sure comparing it to USB is helpful, since USB is just a transport protocol, not communication protocol. Just because two devices have usb ports doesn't mean they can be connected together, otherwise we wouldn't need device drivers. So in this instance it's more of a unified device driver, rather than a port.
