Hypothesis - rich people’s food tastes good when made from top quality ingredients by top quality chefs using top quality equipment. Of course, virtually any kind of food will taste better under these conditions - but for rich people’s food these are mandatory conditions for it to be palatable.

This improves its wealth signaling qualities. If you serve pizza to your guests of course it’d taste good - no surprise there. It’s pizza. But if you serve caviar and it tastes good - it means you have the means to procure high quality caviar.

According to this hypothesis, when the lower (or even middle) classes get the chance to try these foods, it’s usually the cheaper kind. Because who would waste good caviar on you? And because taste degrades so steeply with price, we think the type of food itself tastes bad - simply because we are not tasting the same grade the rich eat.

Poor people’s food, of course, is the exact opposite. It’s design to taste good even with cheaper ingredients, common equipment, and lower cooking skills (I’m not saying poor people are bad cooks - but you can’t compare one’s expertise with one chore among many to the top experts that money can buy)

She cannot be the hot dog thief because she’s a cat, not a dog. The defense rests.

In your defense, it’s written in the only “modern” programming language that encourage this category of errors.

Though you forgot the curly braces and the semicolons are unnecessary.

Yup. These are pretty big issues. But there are also some minor, trivial, purely-preference-based issues - like returning an error if err == nil instead of when it isn’t.

The criteria for what counts as “valid measure method” is not “metrics that would make your ingroup look good”.

I wonder how much better would he fare had he assisted the protester, in time, like he promised, instead of letting them get massacred only to start his own thing a few months later.

He is not making MCPs. He is just maintaining a list of MCPs other people made.

If this repo really was the source code for MCPs, I’d understand - MCPs are (part of) the boundary between the LLM and the external world - you don’t want to let bots implement their own sandboxing.

But for an “awesome list”? Who cares?

Irrelevant. They can do it to devices you physically own.

Never understood that mindset. Yes, it’s not my machine, but I will need to bring my own brain to the job and expose my own sanity to that oppression^[1] system.

It’s kind of funny how eagerly we programmers criticize “premature optimization”, when often optimization is not premature at all but truly necessary.

I will forever be salty about that one time I blamed of premature optimization for pushing to optimize a code that was allocating memory faster than the GC could free it, which was causing one of the production servers to keep getting OOM crashes.

If urgent emails from one of the big clients who put the entire company into emergency mode during a holiday is still considered “premature”, then no optimization is ever going to be mature.

“More AI features”? Of course we can implement more AI features for you.

Exactly the mindset responsible for the state of modern software.

Thought leaders spent the last couple of decades propaganding that features-per-week is the only metric to optimize, and that if your software has any bit of efficiency or quality in it that’s a clear indicator for a lost opportunity to sacrifice it on the alter of code churning.

The result is not “amazing”. I’d be more amazed had it turned out differently.

First it’s like 30GB, what the hell??

Just be grateful it’s SSD and not RAM.

“One of”. This is US history we’re talking about - the bar is in orbit.
