I definitely think that there's a difference in kind about what Google has done and what Microsoft attempted to do.

Microsoft wanted everyone on MSN instead of the Internet. They bullied their browser to be the only one, and then kept it crippled. They tried to own the scripting language (VBScript) of the Internet.

I'm going to try right now: Oh, looks like I can visit any website I want with Chrome. Or Chromium. Or now IE also using Chromium.

Google is of course still driven by capitalism, not altruism. But when you look at their history they've in the vast majority of cases done the right thing arguably for the wrong reason.

And that's because Google's incentives have been aligned differently. Microsoft earns money from Windows and Windows related services (very broad here, where I include Office). Until Bing, every time someone used the Internet instead of native apps, Microsoft basically lost money. Definitely lost power.

Every time someone spends more time on the Internet, Google earns more money, statistically. So Google, in a complete opposite to Microsoft, has been incentivised to help people get onto the open web.

Yes, after Microsoft's surrender the Chromium market share is too big. And it's a problem. But at least thanks to Apple you cannot make a website that only works on Chrome. Especially since Chrome on iPhone uses WebKit, not Chromium, because of Apple app rules.

Another problem with Google is that some important opensource projects have a large set of maintainers be Google employees. But the alternative is that they… not contribute? Didn't we say that big companies should give back to opensource? But of course they'll work on what they need. Though there will be a large overlap.

It's kind of a first world problem that the open source (apache license) Kubernetes has "too many google employees" as contributors.

During Microsoft's domination, this was not the problem. This was not the problem at all.

What can you not do, or need to special case, with Safari+AWS?

Android, OK there Google asserts control. Not total control (see any Samsung phone), but a lot.
You can't express mass in volts. A volt is energy per unit of charge. To get energy, you need to multiply by a charge.

One Joule of energy is what you get when you move one Coulomb of charge across a 1V potential.

One electronVolt (eV) is the energy you get from moving one electron's worth of charge across 1 volt of potential.

It's an accident of what we chose to be a Joule of energy and what we chose to be a Coulomb of charge, so there should be no expectation that this would turn out to be the mass of an electron (when divided by the square of the speed of light, which is unstated because everyone knows E = mc^2).
I've worked at 10 startups since 2006, with equity or options each time. Only one time did it turn out to be worth anything at all (~6 months salary), and that one time wasn't even a successful "exit". It was more of an aquihire, and they paid out the options for everyone they didn't want, ie everyone not living in the Bay. The other nine times my options have been worth precisely zero, either I get let go or quit because the company is circling the drain, or fizzles out, or gets rid of a bunch of people to goose the numbers before a fire sale.

Stock options are a lottery ticket, and I value them roughly the same.

In N Stephensons “Anathem” there are “fuel trees” and a couple paragraphs describing how they are ‘cooked’ for hydrocarbon fuels. I like trees and his vision of a future where genetically modified trees are the best way to collect solar energy and then harvest and store it. Solar panels are cool but one of the themes of the book is civilization over many millennia, and I can see how he arrived at his conclusion that most tech doesn’t work as well as trees.

This is highly country dependent, but in America for example, if this is not presented in your employment contract then it is not something your employer needs to do.

However, if your employer is a public organization then all of this information needs to be made available to shareholders. While you may not have access to this information, it is not secret and can be shared by any of the shareholders. Due to this, there is an implicit requirement to reduce risk and “cooking the books” while allowed is generally seen as risky since shareholders may run for the hills. In a smaller, privately run company there are no shareholders to run for the hills. Just a bunch of employees who hold paper IOUs. In order to get that audit protection, the employee would need to negotiate that into their employment agreement!

> Won’t he eventually ran out of context window?

The "memories" table has a date column which is used to record the data when the information is relevant. The prompt can then be fed just information for today and the next few days - which will always be tiny.

It's possible to save "memories" that are always included in the prompt, but even those will add up to not a lot of tokens over time.

> Won’t this be expensive when using hosted solutions?

You may be under-estimating how absurdly cheap hosted LLMs are these days. Most prompts against most models cost a fraction of a single cent, even for tens of thousands of tokens. Play around with my LLM pricing calculator for an illustration of that: https://tools.simonwillison.net/llm-prices

> If one were to build this locally, can Vector DB similarity search or a hybrid combined with fulltext search be used to achieve this?

Geoffrey's design is so simple it doesn't even need search - all it does is dump in context that's been stamped with a date, and there are so few tokens there's no need for FTS or vector search. If you wanted to build something more sophisticated you could absolutely use those. SQLite has surprisingly capable FTS built in and there are extensions like https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec for doing things with vectors.
Some of the lighter DEs have problems too. Just about all of them take an extra beat or two to display their start menu equivalents for example, which feels like it’s probably a solvable problem considering that systems of yore could do the same with almost no delay on very limited hardware.

I don't know man. I don't know anyone who doesn't use UNIX every day, and I don't know anyone who uses Oberon every day. I am telling you in a way why I don't think that's an accident, and we can talk about that aspect if you want, but I think the cobol forms on a 3270 are a way more interesting version of terminals than what UNIX does with them, and programming/scripting the terminal is really the thing I think that makes them better than any other human-computer-interface.
A former boss of mine used to say “coopulate” when they meant “cooperate”.
These are all such nonsensical misinterpretations of what people mean when they say C is "low level". You absolutely don't write C for the C abstract machine, because the C spec says nothing about performance, whereas performance is one of the primary reasons people write C.

The existence of undefined behaviour isn't proof that there is a C "virtual machine" that code is being run on. Undefined behaviour is a relaxation of requirements on the compiler. The C abstract machine doesn't not have signed overflow, rather it allows the compiler to do what it likes when signed overflow is encountered. This is originally a concession to portability, since the common saying is not that C is close to assembly, but rather that it is "portable" assembler. It is kept around because it benefits performance, which is again one of the primary reasons people write C.

I've recently written a custom MCP server.

> An MCP server is at it's heart some 'thing' that provides a set of 'tools' that an LLM can invoke.

A "tool" is one of several capabilities that a MCP server can provide to its callers. Other capabilities include "prompt" and "resource".

> This is done by adding a 'tool definition'. A 'tool definition' is content that goes into the LLM prompt. That's how it works. How do you imagine an LLM can decide to use a tool? It's only possible if the tool definition is in the prompt.

I think you're using an expansive definition of "prompt" that includes not just the input text as provided by the user -- which is generally what most people understand "prompt" to mean -- but also all available user- and client-specific metadata. That's fine, just want to make it explicit.

With this framing, I agree with you, that every MCP server added to a client -- whether that's Claude.app, or some MyAgent, or whatever -- adds some amount of overhead to that client. But that overhead is gonna be fixed-cost, and paid one-time at e.g. session initialization, not every time per e.g. request/response. So I'm struggling to imagine a situation where those costs are anything other than statistical line noise, compared to the costs of actually processing user requests.

> https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/tool-us...

To be clear, this concept of "tool" is completely unrelated to MCP.

> https://github.com/invariantlabs-ai/mcp-injection-experiment...

I don't really understand this repo or its criticisms. The authors wrote a related blog post https://invariantlabs.ai/blog/whatsapp-mcp-exploited which says (among other things) that

> In this blog post, we will demonstrate how an untrusted MCP server ...

But there is no such thing as "an untrusted MCP server". Every MCP server is assumed to be trusted, at least as the protocol is defined today.

Totally unrelated, but I was once contacted by an Amazon recruiter and sent him my resume.

He called me to discuss my experience, one of which mentioned that I worked in an environment where my team managed "30,000+ servers". He took the opportunity to say something along the lines of "that's irrelevant, that's smaller than one datacenter in one of our regions".

I honestly have no idea why the recruiters from these places have such a superiority complex that they need to belittle people like that. It's not even the manager of the team you'd be working on, just some recruiter that probably doesn't have any of the skills/background the job they're recruiting for requires. Yet they need to make you feel small and worthless right out of the gate.

Is it just prepping you for how you'll be treated there? Trying to select for people that are okay with being belittled?

Can you elaborate? C constructs generally map to one or a few assembly instructions at most. You can easily look at C and predict the generated assembly. This is in contrast to other compiled languages, like Go, that inject instructions for garbage collection and other runtime features.
Why do more pregnant Americans commit suicide?
I think that finding free camping outside when you are in some shit nothing town is probably the most important skill to have, which is easy with satellite maps. Once you get the hang of it you realize that every town has at least one site where you can definitely get away with pitching a tent for one night. I think I have camped this way about 80 times and have never even been asked what I'm doing. That said, state and national park campgrounds are a great deal and you sometimes meet other tourers there, so they're good for a day when you want to take it easy for a morning. I sometimes get a kick out of zooming in on nowhere, USA and looking for spots.

And some advice for anyone doing this for the first time and feels compelled to pay to camp - never stay at a KOA, consider them an absolute last resort. There is no bigger waste of money and RV culture is extremely cursed.

Plenty of people don't comment often, but the impetus to sign up for an account is often to comment, which subs then either disallow or delete because they don't want new accounts commenting.
Those people simply fail to make such connection. They are usually people who are heavily offended by the world injustice etc. and are looking to any anyone who can give them a simple solution. And because there no real simple solutions to most of the complex issues, they naturally turn to the authoritarian liars who do promise simple shit. Like fire everyone, take all money and gift them and so on.

"It's tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." Maslow 1966. The essay is about physics, but all comments are about formatting and LLMs.

I'm not convinced this is any worse than searching for results or reviews and being directed to content that is affiliate supported (or astroturfed by companies). Humans already do this sort of subtle nudging and lots of people position themselves as unbiased. So many blogs are annoying "buried lede" advertising where the article seems vaguely useful until you realise that it's just a veiled attempt to sell you something. Virtually every reviewer on YouTube seems obliged to open with "my thoughts are my own, the company doesn't get to edit my review, etc."

On the other hand, a good LLM would be able to suggest things that you might actually want, using genuine personal preferences. Whether you think that's an invasion of privacy is debatable, because it's perfectly possible for an LLM to provide product results without sharing your profile with anyone else.
That's a curious remark, although I guess it doesn't look high level from the eyes of someone looking at programming languages today.

C has always been classed as a high level language since its inception. That term's meaning has shifted though. When C was created, it wasn't assembly (middle) or directly writing CPU op codes in binary/hex (low level).

Just to be fair, Supertramps are not controversial for those very valid reasons; those reasons require thought, empathy and actual understanding of the situation they are in.

Those kinds of lifestyles generally create a knee-jerk reaction to people merely because they are different than the "normalcy". That is clear because, while some people are indeed being lucky/foolish in their endeavours (totally fine by me unless they don't directly hurt others with their choices), some other people have a pretty solid plan/foundation for being able to handle such a lifestyle and people still give them grief.
