This is the MCP version of the pure.md[1] REST API. You can integrate it with MCP clients like Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop to help them reliably get context from web content.

If you'd like to use without configuring MCP, simply prefix any URL with `pure.md/` and you get the unblocked markdown content of that webpage. It avoids bot detection and renders JavaScript-heavy websites, and can convert HTML, PDFs, images, and more into pure markdown.

pure.md acts as a global caching layer between LLMs and web content. I like to think of it like a CDN for LLMs, similar to how Cloudinary is a CDN for images.

We're seeing just how "independent" courts really are in the US at the moment. There's no reason to believe they're any more "independent" there, especially in Eastern Europe and Greece.
Yeah but it sucks that these days more and more professions require that you market yourself.

It would be great if people could just write and live from that.

I disagree specifically with Myst and Riven because the real magic for me is in the audio (tantamount to ASMR) and that remains high enough quality. The visuals are mostly just helper references for what you’re hearing with the audio. I suspect a text&audio version of Myst would work pretty well.
It’s used on computers too.

“So that we’re clear, one of the first things that happened when I was confirmed as CIA director was Signal was loaded onto my computer at the CIA, as it is for most CIA officers,” Ratcliffe said. “One of the first things that I was briefed on very early, senator, by the CIA Records Management folks was the use of Signal as a permissible work use. It is. That is a practice that preceded the previous administration to the [former President Joe] Biden administration.”
One of these things is not like the others. $8.50/1000?? Any chance that's a typo? Otherwise, for someone that has no experience with LLM pricing models, why is Llama 90b so expensive?
Despite feeling like a "let me draw it for you" answer is a tad condescending, I want to address something here.

This would be great if LLMs did not tend to output nonsense. Truly it would be grand. But they do. So it isn't. It's wasting resources hoping for a good outcome and risking frustration, misapprehensions, prompt injection attacks... It's non-deterministic algorithms hoping P=NP, except instead of branching at every decision you're doing search by tweaking vectors whose values you don't even know and whose influence on the outcome is impossible to foresee.

Sure, a VC subsidized LLM is a great way to make CVs in LaTeX (I do it all the time), translating text, maybe even generating some code if you know what you need and can describe it well. I will give you that. I even created a few - very mediocre - songs. Am I contradicting myself? I don't think I am, because I would love to live in a hotel if I only had to pay a tiny fraction of the cost. But I would still think that building hotels would be a horrible way to address the housing crisis in modern metropolises.
cool.

The prepare-commit-msg hook is the one. One of the hook args is the type of commit (merge, squash, etc). And the merge commit msg files exist (SQUASH_MSG, MERGE_MSG) so my original logic all works.

I think it’s pretty clear that the strawman is, at least, the actual loudest opinion. Maybe it’s not the majority but if you look at the backlash against DEI you very clearly see that those claiming DEI is to blame for the current ills of society are arguing from that straw position.

The goal of something like DEI is to round the edges of the arbitrary merit such as systemic disenfranchisement. A just meritocracy would evaluate people on _relevant_ merit to the judgement at hand. Such a society does not exist.

Apologies for the delayed reply. It's our choice, not theirs. My daughter (14) doesn't really care either way, but my son was mildly perturbed when we took Snapchat away. Not because he regularly post snaps, but because it's the way his peer group coordinates. It's roughly this hierarchy: Snap --> Insta --> iMessage/SMS --> grab bag of other chat apps.

My daughter (8th grade) and her friend group seem to be fine using group chats for comms, and although a lot of her friends do have Instagram & Tiktok (not so much Snap in middle school), she hasn't expressed interest.

That said, we are ok with them to have Instagram accounts specifically for athletics purposes. My son is a 4:20 miler as a sophomore and my daughter plays for a top regional club soccer team. Both have aspirations to compete collegiately. It's valuable these days to cultivate a social presence, just like it can be valuable for working professionals to maintain a LinkedIn profile. But they are clear -- and we are clear with them -- that these social accounts are for "business" purposes, not for socialization, and they understand. We've been beating the drum about the risks of social media for years and they see inappropriate and out of control use by some of their peers, so I generally feel pretty comfortable.

The biggest hazard with Snapchat as the comms channel for high schoolers is that it creates an almost constant string of intrusive push notifications, especially if your network is sufficiently large (like an entire high school class year). For easily distractible kids it can be insufferable.
It seems unusual to make the package name so different from the project name.

Also, the instructions for converting svg to react component work sometimes. It won't work if your svg has any style attributes for example. React also warns on some valid svg attributes, such as this one.

<rect x="11" y="11" width="8" height="8" stroke="green" clip-path="circle() view-box" />

I've spent at least a day cleaning up after devs who just dropped inline SVG content into react components without checking whether it works. If you actually had a reliable way of embedding SVG in JSX in such a way that it worked with react, I might have use for it on occasion.

The given code example is missing a right angle brace on the `<svg` line.
The demand for clones was also diffuse…the potential market included SMB and consumers and the market was exponentially expanding. The compute market is scaling linearly among a relative few established players who buy in bulk and have long B2B relationships with nVidia.
This is ambitious. I once had a college class where the students were very upset because I decided to change the number of in-class quizzes from 5 to 4 a few weeks into the course. (The quizzes made up 10% of the overall grade.) Students hate it when you do anything even remotely weird or unexpected with assessments. Telling them that there is going to be a mystery trick assessment will just make them anxious and grumpy.

The current speculative behaviour would have to end. So a spectacular gain for some, but a blip in time.

Isn't it then just Bretton Woods with a rather funny form of gold? I suppose all currency floats to the new standard so no, it's different. And, the finite extent of bitcoins means there is de facto revaluation as long as new things are made and value in bitcoins has to encompass more things being ascribed value.

If he'd said a blockchain between central banks I might have agreed. Nothing about bitcoin needed there and to my own knowledge central banks have at least discussed it in hypothesis for a decade. It suits a mutuality model for reconciliation amongst them with an m of n threshold.
I’m not sure what the author expected? I imagine the royalties and advance were agreed upon in advance, surely they could do the calculus then?

I think the fundamental issue is thinking that you can make a living writing a book for 2.5 years that only sells 500-2000 copies. At the upper end, if she got the full £10 per book for 2000 copies, that’s still not a livable wage…

Is the author just upset about the way the world works?
On Windows these messages are created using SMB IPC and you'd think this would mean the "sender" (user and host) are authenticated, but nope, the sender name is just a string field that can be anything. You'd also think the host would be based on something like the client IP and a reverse DNS lookup, what with the whole Active Directory thing, but nope, it's also just a string field that can be anything. And with SMB IPC you'd think only some privileged component can invoke it, but nope, any user can send those message popup commands to any machine pretending to be anyone on any other machine. I did not make wise use of this knowledge back then.
No, it comes across as if y'all are having a bad faith argument about something outside of your field of expertise...

Most React apps don't put an infinite loop in their components. The vast majority of the time it sets up initial state, maybe sets up a skeleton while loading some customer data, then shows a page with a few sections and a dozen inputs.

So "holy fuck" you should probably calm yourself down.
This all feels like Dreamweaver + 25 years, to me.
I'm on the classic side of engineering and we still do a lot of work with our hands. The designs are done on the computer, but the things also still need to be built in the drastically less ideal environment of reality. So we at least would need some dexterous robots too.
The makes you an an observers orchestrator in a rudimentary agentic system. What happens when that layer of abstraction for scheduling, managing and instructing of agents is better suited for an LLM or group of LLMs? I think a lot of people are going to get screwed.
Exposure to AI output itself triggers and trains rage response in lots of people. Blame AI for it, regular people have no control over.

Meritocracy isn't real and hard work doesn't work, but there are lots of real factors under your control. Vote in your own best interest. Get involved in politics. Favor class, gender, ethnic interests. Sharpen your social skills.

That's a real internal locus of control. Shaping society is just another job, and a lot more rewarding to learn.

Get out, touch grass, do real things, meet real people, help your friends, let them help you. (Confound your enemies.)

I heard from some CEOs that they vest sales bonuses over a 2-3 year period to incentive longer contracts.

But that of course makes the whole incentive scheme more complicated!
That makes sense when one is used to the Visual Studio organization of solutions and projects, with some main method somewhere being the entry point, unless it's a WCF service or somesuch that gets run via a service manager.

I only used F# at its command line, fsi.exe, to give me commandline access to .NET for exploration, testing, and munging data. Over time, I built up quite a library of usable functions that I'd have the fsi.exe program pre-load when I kicked it off, leaving me at the prompt with all .NET namespaces and my code ready and accessible.

Once you get access to your database's data, it's easy to write queries against it and then play with the data. I could then port the F# processing bits that worked into my C# projects as necessary, but it was far easier to do it that way than to write the logic deep within complex multi-project solution files, where the various classes are spread throughout the projects' files.

I also just really enjoyed using F#.

Assuming the seventy percent figure is KDP, there are so many restrictions on that tier an author rarely gets anywhere close to that rate.

I've used unattend.xml to put C:\Users on a hard drive, leaving the rest on a SSD, so I don't need to think about what files go where. Documentation specifically warns against doing it that way, but I ran Windows 7 and 10 that way for over 12 years with precisely 0 issues with it.

Now I run Linux with / on a hard drive and /usr on SSD.
> Instead of making their life easier, AI has resulted in drastically reduced timelines and ebbing appreciation for creativity.

I've felt this personally as a dev. We are getting squeezed to move and deliver faster because we have AI.
The shortcut strip came in the box! And it was all based on F1-F12 and modifier keys alt/ctrl/shift. It was a complete pain to learn, but once you knew a few key ones (F10 was save?), it was very fast to work with. I wasn't very old, but I remember having the same kind of muscle memory then with WP5.0/5.1 that I do now with vim. Autosave wasn't a thing, so hitting F10 often was just done out of habit.

But, by far the best part was that you could reveal all of the formatting codes, so you could see exactly how something was styled. It was much like editing HTML by hand, and easier to figure out how something was styled than with almost any WYSIWYG.

currently they only live inside of aSim, but we are playing around with the idea of being able to export apps. the Android APK export is definitely doable, but the iOS side is definitely more challenging, so unsure if we will commit to it.

I think you're missing some too. I've been vaguely following and have seen very few that actually seem to have any apps on the app store and those that I found were basic examples.
This is the Latin dream application I had been wanting to create for a decade. From the bottom of my heart, I congratulate you on the new Alexandrian Library.
>What is also less talked about is now AI models are beginning to write without exhibiting these issues.

It will be great when I continue to write the way I have for decades, continuing to be accused of being AI, while actual AI writing exceeds my ability and isn't accused of being AI.

This is exactly why I find the language unintuitive. I don't understand why they made the choices they made. For example, why curly brackets?

I will point out that in 2016 when they started this project, the cost of new batteries would have been multiple times higher than it is today, so it would have been a moderately more "sensible" thing to do than it currently seems.

Losing Reveal Codes was the worst part of Microsoft forcing Word down everyone's throat. Word positively sucks in comparison to this day. No, the little "paragraph" icon isn't enough. Reveal Codes showed you in granular form what was going on so you could fix what was borked, instead of ping-ponging back and forth in AutoComplete hell.

I think this is an excellent question and one people should be asking themselves frequently. I often get the impression that commenters have not considered this.

For example, whenever someone on the internet makes a claim about "most x", e.g. most people this, most developers that. What does anyone actually know about "most" anything? I think the answer "pretty much nothing".
