I'm actually in the process of building a home NAS server primarily for this purpose. Delighted to hear everyone has such a good experience.

I cannot even imagine the horror and the relief. I imagine if I were those paramedics, getting a card or a picture from that kid would make my whole year.

Drivers in Hawaii have taken this to an extreme level and will stop in the middle of the road to let pedestrians or other cars go ahead of them even when they have the right of way. And they throw the shaka when they do it.

Doubt that would matter today. How much things have changed in such a short time.

I've heard tit-for-two-tats is effective

Same for the reference to developers taking longer to complete tasks with AI. That's absolutely not the finding of that study.

Counterpoint: if you think being a good manager boils down to writing a really great performance assessment, you already suck at your job.

They didn't say it boils down to that, they say it's an important part, and I agree.

There are thousands of ready-made MCP servers hosted on https://smithery.ai

Well, that's the worst take I've seen all week, and it's Friday.

Agent LLMs are able to retrieve additional context and MCP servers give them specific, targeted tools to do so.

You are uncritically parroting the primary source.

Or... it's a tool to expose APIs to LLMs.

functions that an LLM can use in its reasoning are called "tools", so the prior is probably more correct in the sense that an API can be used to provide the LLM tools

I just thought the inversion was fun. A lot of MCPs are basically wrappers around APIs, hence the comment. But certainly not all of them.

My eye twitches every time I see something like "a lot of MCPs are". It's probably a lost cause at this point, but it's an MCP Server, not an MCP. And the other side of that connection would be an MCP Client that lives in an MCP Host which almost certainly could simply be called an Agent.

Are you sure it's not the primary antagonist from Tron (1982)?

Hah! I'd totally forgotten about that. Thanks! Now I need to go re-watch the movie.

You're not wrong, but you are being pretty pedantic about it. I consider myself pedantic in most circumstances but this one clearly doesn't bother me.
