I go with this approach for all my personal tools and find it much easier to use and have CC or any LLM reason how to use the tools, and the added benefit that it has a super small footprint in context. https://gist.github.com/Shehryar/22059e16ba70a42fc72c13fde9f...

I have for a lot of my own tools and personal stuff a slightly different approach with this that doesn't use MCP. If you combine skills, with a thin CLI for any API you get a dramatically cheaper version of an MCP and with all the benefits of it just being a simple CLI. Most of the time if I have something like Linear or Hubspot, I just point it at the actual API docs and ask the LLM to make a thin CLI for that API. That way I don't have to load tools for the CLI until needed by a slash command, but the definitions are also tiny so my context stays mostly free.

It's not a rental but the returns on just the plots of land have been good. Their original idea was to retire back home and build a family compound. That's changed since but they still have some of the properties. More and more of the country is getting modern developments and so the return on these has been pretty good.

First love seeing more Pakistani founders! And second - this is super interesting (I'm a first generation kid - parents also came from Pakistan) my parents basically route this all through trusted family right now, have property back home they manage, and this could have made everything WAY simpler.

Congrats on the launch and excited to see where this goes!

That 90-day expiry window is the most archaic bullshit. Can't come up with 200K cash? Too bad, and thanks for all that hard work and long hours you put in.

IBM stopped working on their own framework Kitura. Vapor has become the dominant framework since then and Apple is still investing more in making server-side Swift better. I have heard rumors that Netflix is running some services using server-side Swift, obviously unconfirmed.

Oh nice! I was thinking something like this would be useful the other day.

Buzzfeed and Buzzfeed News are very different. Your dismissal is pretty ignorant.

Re Alex Jones: The targeted and continual harassment of the parents of Sandy Hook victims is definitely dangerous. Not to even mention the promotion of the pizza gate conspiracy which inspired someone to walk into a pizza place with an assault weapon. Different types of danger but still danger.

I actually used to work for a company where we did exactly that. We did it based off of in game footage that we would stat and annotate it was a really interesting product. I think Second Spectrum does something similar now for pro basketball teams.

This seems more like an issue of not being able to afford housing anymore in areas where there's enough demand for work.

Feels dystopian to see the future as having less.

Pretty sure there's a Batman Beyond episode with basically this concept. People splicing themselves with animal traits.

Depends on your applications use cases and what is needed to make it function. No matter what you're doing you should look for the quickest and cheapest option as long as it fulfills your needs. If I'm building pro grade video editing software I'm likely going to pick desktop technologies, if I'm building something that requires location or a camera I'm going to pick native apps. If the service is just reading data from a server and maybe writing a little with not too much interaction probably a mobile website or a PWA.

Not new advice, just pick the right tool for the job, not what's flashy.

It was, they said they were filing a provisional patent

I mean if it's built in the browser it's likely using WebRTC under the hood. Might not be the same techniques they described in their article but all the negotiation and transport is built on open source then. Likely also using MS Desktop Duplication API and Media Foundation.

Not sure why the time you started building it matters but hasn't moonlight-chrome been around for even longer? https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-chrome

So you're filing a patent based on other's open source tech?
