News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

uncomplexity_

why, what's wrong with it?

on the minecraft tips app, you are paying money for something that saves you time.

on this one, you are paying for the same thing here, unless you wanna reimplement it by your own.

and there are lots of avenues to have an edge, such as support for other framework / libraries, better / more efficient implementation, more configurability / control on possible variants.

please don't shoot down people on their attempts to make a living on their efforts.

RIP to the coolest pope.

May we live his consistent reminder of refraining from hurting and hating each other regardless of country, race, religion, politics, etc.

my point exactly.

europe is way too focused on empowering their losers instead of their winners.

europe is a classic example of design by committee

they try to please everyone to the point of pleasing no one

Re:Google Is Winning on Every AI Front on Saturday April 12, 2025 @07:27AM (#43663476)
fair call but

1. unlike openai, google is already cashflow positive and doesnt need to raise any external funds

2. unlike openai, google already has the distribution figured out on both software and hardware

google is like an aircraft carrier that takes so fucking long to steer, but once done steering its entire armada will wipe you the fuck out (at least on the top 20% features for 80% use case)

anthropic already especialized for coding, openai seems to be steering towards intimacy, i guess they both got the memo that they need to specialize

mcp is best for stateful connections to thirtparty providers of data and actions.

shameless plug but im working on something where i give LLMs direct access to APIs without going through mcp.

initial demo is at uncomplexities.com.

Show HN: OpenAPI access to SaaS/PaaS/IaaS for your LLMs. No more MCP clutter.

https://uncomplexities.com/

Hey all, we built a search engine for LLMs to easily find and use APIs from different vendors.Our initial release supports GitHub, Cloudflare, Bunny, Supabase, Box, Koyeb, Render, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Stripe, & Plaid.In the homepage we provided one-click demos with digitalocean, cloudflare, stripe, and github.Why we built this:- We want LLMs to adapt. Usual approach is to...

Show HN: Searchable APIs for your AI Agents

https://twitter.com/uncomplexities/status/1905835415938195908

Going live in 12 hours.Quick run-down of it:- Most software, platform, & infrastructure vendors already provide OpenAPI specifications for all read & write operations on their services.- On giving LLMs access to those services, the usual approach is to provide hard-coded tools.- Problem # 1: Redundancy. When you hard-code tools, you end up creating wrappers, unnecessary layers, and...

are you guys nuts, who's the ceo who should be calling the shots?
whats missing is this: go ask chat.com and grok.com on why this is a tarpit problem.

just literally paste this block of text you wrote and i think you'll get sensible answers there.

why not just use stripe
Re:Ask HN: Would You Unionize for WFH? on Monday March 24, 2025 @08:07PM (#43466748)
fucking nay man

you have to learn to negotiate in 1 on 1s instead of taking your bad laundry in the public.

it ends up looking like group think and in that setup your value is dragged down to the average of everyone in it.

the most important feature is to remember it and to remidn and gaslight the user into using it
google is unreachable by design.

i think you're the one who should rename your company to Autismo, Inc.

Re:MCP with Ubuntu on Thursday March 13, 2025 @07:11AM (#43352143)
if you see any mcp installation with python or docker too, i believe it should work, as long as you have python or docker installed. docker will require WSL windows subsystem for linux so just google it and i hope your lappy supports it.
Re:MCP with Ubuntu on Thursday March 13, 2025 @07:09AM (#43352131)
i have answered in separate comment that you can run mcp clients and servers in windows.

but if you really wanna polish your linux skills, go throw youeself in the swimming pool and learn to swim by downloading the latest ubuntu desktop iso and flashing it to a flash drive using balena etcher, then boot it from bios to install it to your laptop.

will it be hard? yes of course. will you learn a lot? absolutely. can you revert back to windows anytime? yes, just google for "github massgravel" and it will link you to windows / office installers (using their license activators is optional, wink wink).

Re:MCP with Ubuntu on Thursday March 13, 2025 @07:05AM (#43352104)
build and run mcp?

bro you can use mcp clients and servers in windows.

for example if you are using claude desktop on windows, or cline/roo on vscode, or claudecode on terminal, those are all mcp clients.

claudecode for example is just javascript code from npm that can be run by nodejs which works on windows.

on mcp servers, most of them are written in javascript too. if you see anything with npx, it means its an executable compiled javascript code from npm, and your windows can run it as long as you have nodejs installed.

shitiest ux pattern ever
short answer, yes, chromium and its forks.

long answer, firefox have a strong community and solid product but lacking a sustainable business model and a comeptitive pr team. their tech is really good, the people in charge just really suck.

did they not seed enough, is that the crime? lol
hey thank you for this! will send ours later.

our product is uncomplexities.com, which has a shit ui but already functional. still working on the v2 to be out next week.

to other founders out there, what are you building / submitting to yc?

Re:Ask HN: What is your preferred general purpose AI agent? on Wednesday February 05, 2025 @07:00AM (#42947302)
i think what you want is interfacing directly with api's instead of making the ai navigate pages, fill up forms, and click buttons.

do you think our product at uncomplexities.com is something you would use? what it does is it uses the apis of saas paas iaas services directly instead of going through the user interfaces.

disclaimer: im the founder, we'll have a better version coming out next week
