From the blog post it’s hard to tell in which areas it’s better or worse than MCP.

The one that will win — will be the one that gives devs the confidence to run in full “yolo/autonomous” mode. That’s the future.

There are lots of these MCP servers out there. The index analysis and health checks make it stick out.

Game 12 was disappointing from a fan perspective, but I think it's important to recognize the difficulty for anyone to change their mindset from "a draw is a win" to "I will win" without putting themselves at great risk.

I'm sure if Magnus had the benefit of the computer valuation he would have made more striking moves, but his reasons for taking safer approach (a4, e4) makes sense especially considering how evenly Caruana fought back in previous winning positions, and his objective going in.

At the point he offered the draw, even the computer suggested it was fairly even. The shocking part for me was that he also had a huge advantage in time, but I suppose he did not have the right mindset to switch gears.

I think if you want the championship to be more about "heart/courage" (and less about cold calculation) they just need shorter time controls. That was my one takeaway. Maybe something in-between rapid and classical. If you want to see robots push marginal advantages in drawish positions, just set up an AI tournament. Leave the humans to demonstrate heart, courage, and intuition!

Agreed that this is the hardest part is taking the quiz. Not sure if you'll see consistent interpretations based on age/education, but curious to see your analysis of this!

I thought the explanations in the "more info" box was very useful. I'd suggest keeping it open by default on the first page (closed on other pages) as it seems a critical to read that box before taking the quiz. Just a thought!

Very interesting article. In the end, I was a bit confused on how you converted the binomial regression to a single number. I understood that the output was a probability that I know each of the 10,000 items, so then did you need to use some cutoff to decide that I "knew it"?

Anyways, I am interested to see what analysis you do after you get more data.

I've been wanting this for a long time! Thanks for sharing. I wish it was integrated into MacOS though, so I could access via keyboard shortcut. There are so many times I realize I need to "remove formatting" but only after I've already pasted and quick access to OCR would be great.

Yes - it is short for daily active user and often compared to WAU(weekly) and MAU(monthly) to get rough idea of engagement. The apps with the highest DAU are usually really silly games, though, so maybe you are on to something there...

Overall, I agree with this comment. (Y-meter is visually too complex, # comments too far right, etc.) One point not mentioned is that UX for viewing comments is much worse for web users, since the link is now so far from other links.

While I think hacker news could use a redesign, I think you focused on the wrong aspects. I think the #1 goal would have to be to make it responsive / mobile-friendly over any sort of new visualization of points. Beyond that, I think the question is more about typography than visual design. A single # seems the simplest/clearest way to represent points, but the question is just where it fits in the visual hierarchy, font, color, etc.

I would not put too much thought into a modern web design that does not consider different screen sizes.

As a former user and fan of Outbox, it makes me both happy and jealous to see the Swiss post take this on. It makes so much sense. Too bad the USPS is so dependent on junk mail to ever try this. Or..if they did they would mess it up by blasting your "e-post-box" with e-junk-mail.

This article should be renamed, "How I hacked iTunes to steal your credit card information (probably)", to get more votes on Hacker News.

Yeah, i guess it was just too crazy of an idea to work. I personally would have paid $20/month for at least the next 6 months as I am travelling a lot and get tons of value from remote mail access. I agree, though, that with the general value prop if its not worth $5 for most people, it is certainly not worth $20! As a side note: I'm surprised they only had 2k users with a 5M investment round. Seems like they burned cash in some expensive marketing channels.

Totally agree with this. Their business never made much sense in charging only $5 to "undo" what USPS does, but it worked great and is really useful when travelling. They should have tested a $19.99 price point before shutting down. I'm not sure i would have kept paying it for too long, but worth a shot.

This is pretty cool. I'm impressed with the quality of the recommendations and really like how simple the site is. Some info on how you calculate the recs would be interesting. (at least for this thread). I only wish the layout was a little better on my phone. (Sent from iPhone)

PS I also second the other comments that the type ahead could be a little more lenient.
