What's the purpose of this? There is no replacement for MCP. We need a protocol for calling tools that works with structured outputs, this is what we have.

Re:If DSPy is so great, why isn't anyone using it? on Monday March 23, 2026 @12:48PM (#47491972)
Almost all the points are not about what DSPy is mainly supposed to offer. What's supposedly great at is automatic optimization, for everything else... who the hell puts Python in production just to make some API calls? There are "frameworks" available in all the better languages, but the constructs behind are not that complicated. And why does DSPy even try to compete with LangChain/Graph/crap?

Re:Anthropic acquires Bun on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @07:34PM (#46128851)
All vendors will have to implement test time code execution, solution exploration, etc. as it's a low hanging fruit with huge gains, so I see it as a great hire. Love Bun, happy for you guys!
Hi Rob, thanks for your thoughts! We're not planning on expanding to watching expiring domains yet, we're focused more on finding domains that were never registered. But what you're interested in can be done by watching all the registered domains that you're interested in and either catching them when they expire (ex. https://www.expireddomains.net) or by registering a backorder (higher success rate but you have to pay, ex. https://www.gname.com/backorder)

what are we gonna dooo?

Show HN: A live release of available domain names our generator found

https://sneakydomains.com/freebies/qltkukgfy8ykton

Hi HN!We've been having fun building a cool domain name generator and we'd like you to try it out.We're also releasing a bunch of available domain names ideas that our product generated in what we call "freebie sessions".The link above points to our first freebie session, where every few seconds a batch of available domain names will be released.What makes SneakyDomains different?- Shows only...

I'd be forever ashamed if I wrote that.

> So my argument is that removing the context that is entirely irrelevant for the agent improves performance dramatically.

100% agree on building the optimal context, just have not seen parallel agents do better at sequential tasks. the documentation agent may have better initial context about how to write documentation, but it doesn't have the context of the changes, apart from what is passed to it / can explore. if we don't spawn a new session, and instead throw it a /document command - that would still get all the guidelines and rules for writing documentation, and it should have the same weight since it's at the bottom of the context.

for me the highest 'model jump level' performance booster is externalizing context and controlling the process - having claude initialize a plan file with a pre-defined template that makes it use that as its to do list and documentation place, and getting it to use that as its primary working area

> If you don't discuss hooks and subagents, i'm not sure what you're doing right now.

Agents have their own context and can be useful for tasks that can be parallelized, which is a minority of tasks. How are they critical to better performance for you?

Re:Deep Agents on Friday August 01, 2025 @05:56PM (#44762899)
ah, deep agents = agents with planning + agents as tools => so regular agents.

i hate how LangChain has always tried to make things that are simple seem very complicated, and all the unnecessary new terminology and concepts they've pushed, but whatever sells LangSmith.

Do they have the solution (I'd assume Supermaven which they recently acquired does) and are they just giving out an interesting challenge to readers? Or... what is this?
Clinic.js was promising but it's not maintained anymore, would be great if we had a modern alternative: https://clinicjs.org/
That's a prompting issue though.
Hey, yes it draws a lot of inspiration from mitata, but it's much tinier and with less features. I remember I was getting some less accurate measurements in browsers when I tried it (~2 years ago) and I decided to build my own and got the results I expected.

Mitata has added a ton of things since then and it's very mature, and it's built by evan so it's definitely the right choice over benchmate. I used benchmate because I can easily extend it to support the upcoming features in BenchJS.

BenchJS is for easily building shareable benchmarks, and I want to evolve it into a nice code analysis tool. It uses Babel and esbuild to transform and bundle the code before it gets evaluated, and I want to use this to extract more useful insights like the number of operations of a given type (ex. array methods), code path analysis (coverage-like), inline indicators of how much % time a line took, etc.
