Re:Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production? on Thursday September 03, 2026 @09:26PM (#49559392)
yes! I think it's yet another fad that is slowyly dying. I wish my company hadn't spent a whole team working for like 6 months creating an MCP server that no one will ever really use at scale

We used to use the jira mcp, then a jira skill, and now simply use the jira acli. Much cheaper and works fine

That's what the Basic Attention Token (BAT) from the Brave team tried (is still trying?) to do: https://brave.com/brave-rewards/
I'm not sure that is fair. I've been reading her blog for over a decade, and she has always taken a contrarian view.

Not true. I've done SRED every year for the past ~7 years. It is work, but there are specialized consultants that do most of it. If the work is truly R&D (which would be the case for a cutting-edge AI company) and you track your work in JIRA or something like that, then it's mostly just writing a few pages describing the efforts.
I get your sentiment, but I think it's important for science communication to adapt to the times. Decades ago (and even as little as one decade ago), most scientists (maybe Hawking being the exception) who would dare appear in these 1hr documentaries would be belittled by the "hardcore" scientists with the same words you used "Science should not be over-simplified like that", "they are not real scientists, they just want to be on TV", etc.

The truth is that young people are mostly on TikTok et al, so this type of content needs to get there.

What if they were liable? Say the company that offers the LLM lawyer is liable. Would that make this feasible? In terms of being convincingly wrong, it's not like lawyers never make mistakes...

Re:IPyflow: Reactive Python Notebooks in Jupyter(Lab) on Wednesday May 10, 2023 @08:19AM (#35886287)
Agreed on the confusing page. I use notebooks every single day but a quick glance at the README gave me zero indication of this being something I need
The energy of the IceCube neutrinos is 2 to 4 orders of magnitude higher than the ones detected by this experiment. But this is still cool because it's the highest energy neutrinos detected from man-made sources.

They are also saying that departments are affected disproportionately. It's likely much harder for recruiters to find a new job, especially when hiring is being frozen at most companies
I was going to say this, beautiful data viz! OP can you talk a bit about what tools were used?

All these topics are so advanced that even for someone trained in one it would take years to become proficient in the other.

Re:I resigned from Twitter on Monday November 29, 2021 @01:16PM (#29383143)
Twitter does a have a large "health" department tasked with figuring how to measure and improve the quality of the content and discourse in the platform. I don't have details since I only interviewed for a role in that team, but I do know it exists and it has a large number of PMs, Data Scientists, and Researchers. They have even collaborated with academia on the topic and a recent open RecSys competition (recommender system) was organized by Twitter with their data.
