the MCP equivalent of is-even (https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-even) on NPM
it's incredibly low effort and very high yield. it only keeps boosting their SEO. they have enough human traffic to where they can totally get away with it too
the only way I can describe the modern Apple App Review process is "silly". necessary, but very silly. I was rejected AND had my account terminated for having Firebase Remote Config in my app, and they thought I was…
> We will need MILLIONS of people in the field. it's a real issue but I'm not sure it's the mass mobilization problem the article makes it out to be. pretty sure it's growing extremely fast, and it's a new field in…
Everyone is doing this now. Granted, on Codex / Claude Code, you can disable it, it’s not the default to have it disabled. For some reason on Cursor, they keep shoving the “Made with Cursor” into my PR description…
yes, but the same people who have the power to make those same things public are the ones benefiting from the same fraud, waste, and corruption

if the idea can just be obliterated by an LLM, there was never a moat to begin with
Just further proof that context is the real moat, not intelligence. All the models are already converging to be equally intelligent and that will only continue. GPT 5.4 / Opus 4.6 are the first two models I’ve used…
nice share!
docker is bloated. i'm almost certain half of every image is dead weight. unused apt packages, full distros for a single binary, shell configs nobody touches. but the incentive is to make things work, not make them…
Thanks, I also saw this as PyPI and was confused, lol
Fair point, the "tuned to flag aggressively" claim was speculative on my part. Turnitin's own documentation says they favor false negatives over false positives. That said, their accuracy claims have been disputed…
nobody's asking who profits from false positives. these AI detection vendors have a direct financial incentive to flag aggressively. more flags = "more value" = more school contracts renewed. same playbook as selling…
MCP is a completely useless abstraction, and I’m not sure why anyone would push for it over basic cli tools / skills.
this looks chaotic. I love it
yep, agreed. wasn’t knocking the project at all, it’s great for exactly that purpose
"everything else is just efficiency" is a nice line but the efficiency is the hard part. the core of a search engine is also trivial, rank documents by relevance. google's moat was making it work at scale. same applies…
Our lawmakers have zero idea how software works. "useradd bob" is an "account setup". does that need age verification too? haha
I understand the entire project was vibe coded, but can you at least write the post yourself?
the interesting question is why dario published this. these disputes normally stay behind NDAs and closed doors. going public means anthropic decided the reputational upside of being the company that said no outweighs…
MCP's only real value is the auth handshake for third-party SaaS. the actual tool execution is worse than a subprocess call. more tokens, harder to debug, and the failure modes are worse. if someone just extracted the…
It happens all the time, and it doesn’t even require coordination, just synchronized intent. Examples: - ai.com launching with a super bowl ad and being taken down just from large sign up volume - Taylor Swift drops an…
I work for a $50B+ company (is this big tech? idk), but I’ll answer this because we are fully embracing AI (Cursor, Claude Code, cloud agents, AI reviews, you name it) > Have you noticed faster pace of development? Yes,…
everyone in the comments is talking about stylometry and rewriting your posts with LLMs. the paper barely uses stylometry. the attack surface is semantic: your interests, your city, the conference you mentioned once 2…
