I took inspiration from Cloudflares codemode where they took 2500 endpoints and turned them into consumable ~1000 token MCPs for agents to consume.

This basically takes your APIs, databases, and docs and compresses them into 2 MCP tools (~1,000 tokens) instead of N tools (100K+ tokens). Claude was burning tokens (and a lot of them for me) on just tool definitions. This compresses that considerably.

It's a typed SDK layer and not just a RAG for APIs. The search index holds function signatures instead of data.

We dogfood the Express, OpenAPI, and Database adapters daily. But the other adapters are implemented with tests but less mileage -- LAMBDAs is just an idea.

Would love to get feedback -- or even see if it's helpful for other people or if the recent expansion of context windows makes this irrelevant.

GA pilot here. I'll send this to my airline buddies. Really useful.

God help us all if our central bank starts taking cues from the Bank of Japan or the ECB and their zombie economies.

Our inability to suffer short-term consequences for long-term prosperity is a real issue that we as a country need to figure out how to solve. (Can you solve for human nature?) The fed shouldn't have made cuts in 2019 at the height of the market, we should have let failing banks fail, we need to start spending responsibly if we want to remain a reserve currency, and we need to learn that forest fires clear out the undergrowth for new growth.

While this may not be perfect composition, this is a surreal (and almost sad) moment in my life to hear music that is passable created by a computer under it's own volition. I work at a company that works with a lot of machine learning so I generally understand its limitations and haven't ever been an alarmist. That being said, I generally always thought of it being applied to automate work. For some reason I had always considered that which we normally attribute to human creativity to be off-limits. Sure now it's not great, but in 10 years will it be able to compose better music than Chopin? In 10 years, will music created by a computer surprise and delight me more than music composed by humans?

Pilot here - they used the example of a hurricane, however, I think it would have a daily impact on thousands of flights (general aviation and commercial) which all rely on on accurate weather forecasting. Weather is no joke in aviation; even if you're flying a 747.

You should negotiate with the hospital. You can normally get it down to 10% of the original amount and put on a payment plan. Their first bill is never what they think they'll receive. Its just their opening offer.

There are even services that will help you negotiate it down. (Half the reason for insurance isn't even their coverage - it's the negotiated rates.) Hope this helps you.

Capital controls make that pretty difficult. There are government set controls on whether you can purchase foreign currency and even then to how much you are allowed to buy.

I remember back in like 2011 Kirchner did this in Argentina while I was living there. There was out of control inflation and capital controls. The government also covered their ear and said "lalalalala I don't care what the world markets say, our currency is worth $x.)

If you were traveling, you could get foreign currency, but you had to apply for it, prove you were traveling, and then accept that the government would allot how much they thought you needed on your trip. I had a friend get $75 per day for their trip to the states. This creates the black market (or in Argentina, the "dolar blue") where the government said that the exchange was 5:1, but economics and the black market said 15:1 (at one point).

Moral of the story - you can not just ignore basic economic principles and dictate the value of your currency. Focus on building a strong and diverse economy and promoting a free market.

From what I can see, they're doing everything that they can to eliminate sending anything to servers. They recently launched private contact discovery which is really interesting.

Moxie has said repeatedly that they're working to do better on this front, but it's not without its technological challenges. He's written repeatedly about this and has also called for anyone willing to try to make it happen and offered to help them. Just one example springs to mind:

And federation is possible over XMPP with Signal:

I don't believe this would even be an issue if they offered the option to not log sensitive data. I had requested that they provide something like this and someone quite senior reached out to me. He was very polite and professional. He explained that they had to keep this data for operational and compliance reasons and that all email providers are required to. However, that didn't resolve my security concern.

We ended up going with Mandrill which does offer the option to not log sensitive data ^1. Whether they log it somewhere else for the compliance reasons that Mailgun mentioned isn't mentioned anywhere in their docs or privacy policy, but doesn't seem to be accessible from everything I could find. You should never log or allow others to log password reset urls or other sensitive details.

I live here too. We unfortunately have built a reputation of our value only being skin deep and superficial – from our real estate to our transit to our restaurants and nightlife to our startup community. This reputation is not entirely without merit; we need to do better.

Knowing all that – I want this to be amazing, but I am keeping my expectations in check. To me, this all seems too familiar. Lots of flash and shine, but I don't see anything concrete.

The reply by Harry Halpin is worth a read: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-media/2017J...

I see your point. Though, I'm not terribly convinced about wealth inequality being a major driver in this. I know it is a hot political topic, however, I don't think it is nearly as extreme (except for the very edges of the spectrum) nor as problematic as it is being portrayed. I read this paper recently that I thought was an interesting perspective: https://cei.org/sites/default/files/Ryan%20Young%20and%20Iai...

Just saw this from mabbo and it's relevant: https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazine/data-downturn

Pretty decent article. TL,DR if you're saving for retirement then ignore the markets and don't try to time things. The markets over time (IRA is for retirement) will always increase significantly.

The downturn cycle is every ten years it seems. Is there a similar recession cycle? I can only think of 3 instances where the recession was substantial in both unemployment above 10%, big drop in GDP, and length of time it lasted:

- The Great Depression (1930)

- The 1980s recession (1980)

- The Great Recession (2008)

That's fair feedback. There will be a part 2 where we will dig in more. As I mentioned in another comment, it's eating an elephant. 1 bite at a time.

This was just an intro. There will be a part 2. It's a pretty large subject.

I used this (in it's beta) to get started with Go. I learn best by doing. The course provided a solid base for me to understand the larger concepts and then diving into the language documentation as I progress. For me it was quite handy.

Maybe dang can change both the title and the link. The World Bank blog is quite good as is the original paper. The linked article is complete garbage with a sensationalized title.

Excellent effort. I do wonder though, what is to prevent authorities from forcing you to just turn off travel mode? Is there a timer that you set? Deadman's switch? Geolocating? (The last 2 are not good solutions, but you get the idea)

Edit: I missed this bit below:

> even if you’re asked to unlock 1Password by someone at the border, there’s no way for them to tell that Travel Mode is even enabled.

However, it won't take very long for authorities to wise up, know that 1password has a travel mode, and tell you to turn off Travel Mode, eh? Or am I missing something?

Normally I would agree, except this particular issue is quite different. Startups and small companies are who net neutrality benefits the most. It is in their own self-interest. Whether they do it because it's good business or whether it's a good cause, there is enough reason.

Semi-related, Twitter seems to be okay with taking lobbyist money from those against net neutrality: http://i.imgur.com/Ad2LMxZ.png

Weren't they part of the SOPA/PIPA blackout?

I haven't had the chance to see it on desktop yet. But on mobile it's much better than Reddit's new mobile interface. Loading time alone is much better for me.

Anyways, I was commenting on the UX on mobile was. The UI wasn't what I was particularly focused on, but on mobile I found it much better as well.
