idea

Why MCP was always a bad idea and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

A koi pond to stare at. A place to do nothing.

<p>The question of shell scripting (Is it always a bad idea? How to do it well?) comes up a lot. There should be a tag for it.</p>

Over and over again, I’ve seen people fix some wireless-related problem and go “wow, I had no idea how much better this could be!&#34; • Wireless protocols often silently operate in an extremely degraded state that…

The idea of sobriety is now boring to me.

<p>Take the idea of a link shorterner and reflect it in a Black Mirror.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/intel/" rel="ugc">link</a></p> <p>Here are the updated parts:</p> <blockquote> <p>Note added later: Some people have pointed out online that if MINIX had a GPL license, Intel might not have used it since then it would have had to publish the modifications to the code. Maybe yes, maybe no, but the modifications were no doubt technical issues involving which mode processes run in, etc. My understanding, however, is that the small size and modular microkernel structure were the primary attractions. Many people (including me) don't like the idea of an all-powerful management engine in there at all (since it is a possible security hole and a dangerous idea in the first place), but that is Intel's business decision and a separate issue from the code it runs. A company as big as Intel could obviously write its own OS if it had to. My point is that big companies with lots of resources and expertise sometimes use microkernels, especially in embedded systems. The L4 microkernel has been running inside smartphone chips for years. I certainly hope Intel did thorough security hardening and testing before deploying the chip, since apparently an older version of MINIX was used. Older versions were primarily for education and newer ones were for high availability. Military-grade security was never a goal.</p> <p>Second note added later: The online discussion got completely sidetracked from my original points as noted above. For the record, I would like to state that when Intel contacted me, they didn't say what they were working on. Companies rarely talk about future products without NDAs. I figured it was a new Ethernet chip or graphics chip or something like that. If I had suspected they might be building a spy engine, I certainly wouldn't have cooperated, even though all they wanted was reducing the memory footprint (= chip area for them). I think creating George Orwell's 1984 is an extremely bad idea, even if Orwell was off by about 30 years. People should have complete control over their own computers, not Intel and not the government. In the U.S. the Fourth Amendment makes it very clear that the government is forbidden from searching anyone's property without a search warrant. Many other countries have privacy laws that are in the same spirit. Putting a possible spy in every computer is a terrible development.</p> </blockquote>

It’s no secret that agentic development is changing how developers build software. As agents take on more and more of the implementation work, developers spend less and less time manually editing code

I had an idea, more of a stress-test really. I have been building my IDE for a few months now, it's...

After reading about the Huggingface incident from the OpenAI report, I got the idea of trying to replicate the self organizing behavior of agents by modifying the Pi harness to run locally. Whilst doing it, I also…

Why would you give equity to someone technical when you can build your idea yourself with AI?

A free AI canvas for following your curiosity. Try Wander and Deeper, then make Drift your own.

Here's the idea: build an app that checks if someone knows their stuff using an interview. You pick a skill, type your name, and off you go. An AI agent chats with you by voice, asks questions, and at the end you get a…

The notion that ideas have lifecycles has many antecedents.

A five-step classroom exercise reframes research as an evolving scholarly conversation rather than a search for sources.

I have no idea how I keep finding these adventures for myself, but sometimes broken software finds me, even when I’m not actively looking for trouble. This is today’s adventure about Windows’ weirdness and cloning Linux.

One of the livelist Fedora Discourse community discussions in recent days -- or even in quite a period of time for that matter -- comes down to a user having suggested that Fedora replace LibreOffice by default with…
