not to troll, but the CLI vs. MCP feels very much like the SOAP vs. REST discussion. The "CLI works for me, so therefore MCP is sh#t"

AI/SI is having crazy impact on the entire world, and we are left with just 2 ways of doing things ? THAT is crazy to me. With all this creativity and intelligence we are down to two standards, pretty soon Thomas Watson is correct, we only have 5 computers in the world.

That being said, MCP has been truly magical for us, I just wish that the LLM labs would support their connector systems better. Too many "refresh tools" or "sign in again" ..

great list, would be cool to see each OS evolving over time.

NextStep/OSX was the only desktop OS that did not feel like a downgrade from Amiga Workbench

you guys are going to miss the days of over-engineered microservice solutions when you are debugging ai workflows :)

nah, disappointed cf customer

Sounds very basic, sadly.

Anybody know why these web crawling/bot standards are not evolving ? I believe robots.txt was invented in 1994(thx chatgpt). People have tried with sitemaps, RSS and IndexNow, but its like huge$$ organizations are depending on HelloWorld.bas tech to control their entire platform.

I want to spin up endpoints/mcp/etc. and let intelligent bots communicate with my services. Let them ask for access, ask for content, pay for content, etc. I want to offer solutions for bots to consume my content, instead of having to choose between full or no access.

I am all for AI, but please try to do better. Right now the internet is about to be eaten up by stupid bot farms and served into chat screens. They dont want to refer back to their source and when they do its with insane error rates.

As many have stated, I would assume more than 38%. But good quality content is rare and the dynamic content made page combinations go infinite 20 years ago.

We are maintaining 25y old urls is a bit ehh. cumbersome, and I sometime wonder if its worth it. Most of the traffic seem to come from bots and they do seem to learn some of the 301's. It seems to be good for SEO, etc.

Some users also gets redirected to the content on the new urls. It feels a bit like helping an elderly person over the street to where the shop is.

Anyway, I hope that bots and humans trust our services more.

Probably just some aliens from some advanced civilization Far far away.

Maybe a stupid question, but what to do when eu-central-1.signin.aws.amazon.com is down?

Fantastic, very impressive.

But somewhere inside (my little star-wars/trek spirit), I wish that it was not so tricky. That we all could just travel and explore the universe.

Everybody always talk about how difficult it is in space and how much better earth is. Wish the debate would be more about all the possibilities in space or on other planets. What can we do with zero gravity? For all the bad things with living on Mars, could there be some amazing benefits, new materials and so on..

Im a huge SpaceX fan, but Blueorigin's New Shepard does seem more robust. Maybe just because its a smaller and more thick rocket, but somehow by not being as spectacular it makes space travel more "normal" as we all hope it someday will become.

Comparing REST to SOAP, is to me like comparing HTML to SASS/LESS.

SOAP had so many flaws, no need to repeat. But the fact that you could not trust that SOAP software created using Microsoft software would work with something created with Java software was a disaster. Sometimes I ended up building custom SOAP libraries to connect with the other services. It was promised to solve all our problems, but ended up creating more.

REST is not a "standard" library, it is just a basic guideline on how to use the HTTP protocol "out of the box".

What the author seems to be looking for, is one hammer to fix all problems.

If you are spending too much time writing REST services, maybe your frameworks are flawed, you could be automating more or your interface is too complex?

I guess we finally figured out what the "insanely" great products was all about.

I am a computer engineer so I know nothing of nature :)

But, it boggles my mind why so many people don't believe global warming can be man-made. I know you can have disagreements, scientists can be wrong, a lot of things can contribute to things heating up, an so forth. But to be 100% sure that its not man-made, I dont get it. Is it because these deniers grow up in a eco system so large that they dont sense human interference, is it pure denial or ?

Another hammer to a multifaceted problem, keep in mind that people have a lot of different use cases where JSON REST API's are the lesser evil.

I only skipped through the spec for gRPC, but the protocol seems very limited. I dont like the 'gRPC status codes', where HTTP status codes at least can be grouped in ranges.

The abstraction from the technology/protocol should not be the issue compared to the abstraction from the core business logic. When handling multiple consumers, customers and technologies I tend to worry more about where logic is handled and where data is stored, compared to how its transferred.
