Awareness that you're doing something wrong is a spectrum. Obviously this guy wasn't intending to build a nuclear bomb, but I'm extremely skeptical that a science nerd could get to the point of building a periodic table collection without learning that plutonium is dangerous and heavily restricted. (The source article doesn't cover this, so just to make sure we're on the same page: plutonium is _not_ any more legal to export from the US than it is to import into Australia, and whoever sold it to this guy was almost surely breaking the law too.)

This student was ambushed and arrested... for the crime of being one of several authors of an opinion essay published last March in the Tufts student newspaper.

I still use cash for all of my in-person purchases, but I do live in a rural area where cash is still king and you will get discounts for cash because the people can't just ignore the 3-4% markup on credit like more well off communities.

Also if you need to carry more than just a drivers license and a single credit card for your job. Trailers have their own registrations that you don't want people to loosely throw in their pockets, different professions have license requirements you need to have on you, receipts and notes are still important because you don't want to just be giving everyone your personal bank statements with cryptic "Part/product 482302" and no breakdown on the individual charges involved. Same with auctions and stockyards. Also someones phone on a job is way more likely to get lost/dropped/stolen and you don't want all your identification and licensing and registrations and receipts being lost along with your phone, you basically throw away the entire next day or two or more re-obtaining all that and like they say, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Along these lines, one thing Claude Code does consistently is to see a failing test and then add a conditional in the actual code to satisfy the test.

I'm typically pretty gentle in real code reviews but that one is a serious "what the fuck are you even doing" if it were a human.

Adding a top-level context-rule in claude.md doesn't fix it reliably.
You'd be surprised how some American homes have coolers that Europeans would think only a store would need, filled with all kinds of things, from veggies and meat to pancakes and tamales. Best news is, once everything inside freezes, the cooler doesn't consume much electricity to maintain it.

Between ultra-pasteurization, canning, freezing, dried food, and electricity, one of such families could stockpile nearly a year of food.
There’s two kinds of leetcoding. Leetcoding via memorization obviously sucks, but leetcoding by clicking next problem until you get one thats totally alien and then letting it mull in the back of the head for a few days to crack it without reference material is pretty fun
LangChain is an objectively terrible Frankenstein's monster of an API. If you were a good developer in your youth, you'd have still held it in contempt, and treat MCP with caution.

The MCP API is pretty bad, too, it's just that a paradigm is starting to emege regarding modularity, integration and agentic tooling, and MCP happens to be the only real shot in that direction st this particular moment.
Show HN: Integrate – a Rust crate for numerical integration (+ an mdBook guide)
I recently built Integrate, a Rust crate designed to make modular integration in Rust projects smoother and more ergonomic. If you've ever struggled with structuring Rust applications or composing independent modules cleanly, this crate might be useful for you.

To make adoption easier, I’ve written a comprehensive mdBook that explains how Integrate works, real-world use cases, and best practices:
https://mtantaoui.github.io/Integrate/

I’d love to get feedback from the Rust community! Does this approach make sense? Are there features or pain points you think should be covered?

Crate on crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/integrate
Source code: https://github.com/mtantaoui/Integrate

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
It is not obvious to me that without the efficiencies provided by modern technology that the result would be a good use of energy and material.
One thing I’ve never thought about regarding “defense in depth”: Say we have defense measures A, B, and C. If A does its job, B and C aren’t used. You don’t really know how useful they are until A doesn’t work, and in fact a politician can say B and C “don’t do anything” which is technically correct. It’s only when we steamroll Chesterton’s fence that the value of B and C become apparent.

You could get rid of the fire department and it would take some time to realize their value.

One of those defense in depth components here would have been not having extremely weird privacy defaults on Venmo. Because when we say “people don’t care about privacy” sometimes those people gain access to really important info.
Right, plus it needs a better backing to make a nice UI. Plasma mobile is more of a POC, not really a polished user experience by far.

This a good characterisation of functionality MCP might enable. Thanks.

In your opinion, what percentage of apps might benefit from this model where end users bring their own MCP tools to extend the capabilities of your app. What are some good examples of this - e.g., a development tool like Cursor, WindSurf likely apply, but are there others, preferable with end users?

How is the user incentivized to upskill towards finding the right tool to "bring in", installing it and then using it to solve their problem.

How do we think about about the implications of bring your own tools, knowing that unlike plugin based systems (e.g,. Chrome/extensions), MCP servers can be unconstrained in behaviour - all running within your app
Only a certain subset of developer spends most of their time "connecting things", and if that's the kind of developer you consider yourself, I'd be looking to either upskill or change professions as this will be the first kind of developer eliminated if we continue to see decent progress in automation.
This is just moving the goalposts, MCP is not supposed to solve every problem with agents. It's meant to make it easier to provide easier, standardised ways for LLMs to interact with external tools, which it has done. Reliability is a completely different problem.

No argument there. Compared to Xerox-Parc's heyday the Bay Area has felt like a case study in cargo cults since before the dotcom implosion.
It took me a minute to even understand this comment because for me the “obvious” use-case for MCP is local filesystem tasks, not web requests. Using MCP to manipulate files is my primary LLM use-case and has been ever since Anthropic released it and integrated it into Claude Desktop. I understand where you’re coming from, but I suspect that the idea here is to build something that is more “filesystem first.”
aha can't disagree with that sentiment, best I can do is not make the standard suck.
The top-of-thread linked to an article that was specifically about aggregated data sharing, not individual-level data sharing. The consent document you're linking to did not exist when that article was written; our general research consent only covers aggregated data sharing. It was only in 2018 that we added the second-level consent for individual-level data sharing.

I think we've generally been pretty careful to present only scientifically well supported results, which has not helped the perceived utility of our health product. There are certainly valid arguments to be had about the business model.
It should at LEAST be ARM (or perhaps RISC-V once it matures more)… but honestly it's just not going to be practical anytime too soon.
Once, a customer complained that we had corrupted their documents on our platform. Seemingly out of nowhere, words like "Messi" and "Zidane" started appearing countless times in the titles and content of their documents - overnight. It was so bizarre and random. We eventually found out they had a broken browser extension (something similar to Google Translate, I don't remember).

I was only able to find a single instance of such a bug elsewhere, on a Microsoft support forum — the guy was furious that Outlook would insert 'Messi' and 'Zidane' into his emails every time he tried to send them. Something very specific seemed to trigger it.
> You follow whatever the hype is and bail after you get your desired return.

I agree with everything you said except for these two sentences. If you take VC funding to build a sustainable business frankly you’re doomed from the get go. That’s not what a VC wants and it won’t get you funded. There are other routes to that.

What VCs want is if 99 of those startups fail, to be holding the Airbnb, uber, Anthropic at the end. Because holding that from the beginning will make you more money than any other option.
Why do you think that?

I'm assuming you're talking about the internet, networked services, etc, because that's the only conceivable way a collapse could happen that quickly... except all modern infrastructure we rely on like that has backups and redundancy built in, and largely separated failure domains, so that such a failure would never be able to happen that quickly.
I was thinking about examples of where things got worse over time. They include some common appliances that use water, due to water use regulations. No reason my dishwasher should take over 2 hours to run. But then there's other things like food delivery.

I used to deliver pizzas in the early 2000s. I would get paid

$4/hour (later bumped to $5 per hour)

$1/delivery (pass through to customer)

+ tips

I had good days / times where I was pretty much always busy and made around $20/hour by the end.

So delivery cost the customer $1 + tip (usually ~$3), cost the business maybe $40 a night (~2.5 drivers for 3 hours), and I made out pretty well.

I can't compare exactly but I feel like today the business pays more, the customer pays more, the drivers get paid less and it's all subsidized by investors to boot. Am I totally wrong on this? But I feel like delivery got so much worse and I don't know where the money is going.

What's so hard for them to just say "it's a standard"? Why do we need to mention USB? Or USB-C at that, which just confuses the message even more?

Do modern developers not know what "standards" means? Is this marketing slop or did an engineer seriously write that for other engineers?

None of those are particularly useful on an individual level. E.g.:

- 1.42x risk of Autism

Okay, great, the population incidence is about 1 in 36, so 1.42x risk is about 1 in 25. What possible actionable use is this? It's not even particularly useful input to "should I follow up with some kind of actual assessment".

But even that and the other not-particularly-useful numeric risk multipliers are better than:

At this level of specificity, you may as well be consulting a magic 8-ball.

I love CSV for a number of reasons. Not the least of which it’s super easy to write a program (code) in C to directly output all kinds of things to CSV. You can also write simple middleware to go from just about any database or just general “thing” to CSV. Very easily. Then toss CSV into excel and do literally anything you want.

From Atwood in interviews it was always intended to show that theocracy could happen in a Western Christian society, it drew upon earlier periods in Christian history and took its title from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales.

She drew inspiration from the late 1970s Islamic revolution in Iran and openly paralleled that in the novel with a callout to a 'history book' Iran and Gilead: Two Late Twentieth Century Monotheocracies.

If anything, though, it was a satirical extrapolation of the various social, political, and religious trends of the United States in the 1980s: the religious right discussing what they would do with/to women if they took power, the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition, and the Ronald Reagan administration.

Her crime is expressing an opinion. I am no Hamas supporter, but writing an opinion essay supporting Hamas seems like it would be allowed by the 1st amendment, regardless of the immigration status of the opinion writer.

In a statement to ABC News, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said: "Rumeysa Ozturk is a Turkish national and Tufts University graduate student, granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa. DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. A visa is a privilege not a right. Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated. This is commonsense security."

Using two stacks doesn't actually make it more robust. I think using a private property for the stack would, though.
It's much harder to determine motive (which only exists in Mark Rober's mind) than to determine whether a video is misleading. You can look at Rober's Youtube video, compare it to the unedited video (which he only posted on Twitter), and see how he edited it so that people didn't realize he accelerated the car to 42mph and engaged autopilot a few seconds before impact. You can also watch the bit in his Youtube video where he explains that he tests autopilot, not FSD, despite the title of the video being Can You Fool A Self Driving Car?. And you can watch the video posted by the other guy who showed that the latest version of FSD passes the Wile E. Coyote test.

I'm not defending any of those replies to Rober. In fact I find it quite annoying when dogmatic, sneery people happen to share my views. But the content of those replies does not change the content of Rober's videos, nor does it change the content of the video showing FSD passing the test.

> Let's get back to my main point, that Tesla's not having Lidar is stupid and I don't trust a self-driving car that can't adequately detect solid objects in it's environment

In the video I linked to, the self-driving car did adequately detect solid objects in its environment. My main point is that your main point is based on a video that used non-self driving software engaged seconds before collision, edited and published to make people think it was FSD engaged much farther back from a standstill. And at least one other test (the water test) didn't even use autopilot, just manual driving. I don't know why Rober did that, but he did, and it tanks his credibility.

Again, I'm not arguing against lidar. I already said that lidar would probably improve safety. But Rober's video does not show that, as he didn't use Tesla's FSD software. The person who did showed that it stopped successfully.

In a world where lidar greatly improves safety, we would see the latest version of FSD go through the Wile E. Coyote barrier. That didn't happen, so we probably don't live in that world. In a world where lidar improves safety, though not as much, we'd see FSD stop successfully. And in a world where lidar doesn't improve safety (weird I know, but there could be issues with sensor fusion or lidar training data), we'd also see FSD stop successfully. Right now we don't know which of those worlds we live in. And we won't know until someone (probably Tesla) launches a vision-only robo taxi service. Then we can compare accident rates to get an idea of how much lidar improves safety. And if Tesla doesn't have a robo taxi service within the next year, that indicates that cameras alone aren't safe enough to run a robo taxi service.
Not just less in that sense, but also, they are no longer focused on growth, so the question is, how do we maintain the current offering but lower the cost of operating it. You need less people to maintain, and by losing people you also reduce the cost.
Interesting. I know the Librem 5 is usable as a day to day phone (I have been using it as such for 3.5 years), and a few phones used to be in that catagory. I guess they changed how they consider main vs community.
Waymo (at this time) is an alternative to taxis and ride hailing services. I've lived in SF for 30+ years and used all modes of transit here. Some of my most frightening moments on the road have been in taxis with drivers who are reckless, in badly maintained vehicles, sometimes smelling of booze. There are certainly other ways that taxis could have been improved, but given the way things have evolved (or devolved with taxis), I feel much safer in a Waymo.

Any comparison of Waymo's safety should be done against taxis/Uber/Lyft/etc. A comparison with the general driving public could also be interesting, or other commercial drivers, but those are not the most relevant cohorts. I don't know the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if taxis/Uber/Lyft are worse per mile than general drivers since they are likely under more stress, and often work for long hours. A Waymo is no less safe at 4am, but a Lyft driver who's been up all night is a lot less safe. I would also guess that they are less likely than the general (auto) driving population to own their vehicle. Depending on who owns a vehicle, how long they've been driving (years), there's going to be a lot of interesting correlations.
The human performance at the bottom of the page was nice. But you can also give a great musician a zipper and paper bag and they can make it sound nice.

The main reason we don't revoke licenses more aggressively right now is that America's infrastructure is so car-oriented that forcing people to never drive again can be a disruption on-par with being added to the sex-offender registry (1).

If self-driving cars became prevalent, I can absolutely see it leading to an increase in license revocation as a punishment for unsafe driving.

(1) Setting aside one's personal opinion on which is more dangerous to society: people on the sex-offender registry or drunk drivers.
