<p>This case not withstanding, Apple regularly includes patches to the built in CLI tools in security updates, so it's a little disingenuous to suggest those tools are not really supported.</p>

<p>I am generally not onboard with the “all you need is SQLite” articles that pop up on HN regularly.<p>But I recently looked into self hosting and several things each wanted their own Postgres container.  Immich wants a Postgres and a redis instance.<p>If you’re building apps targeted at self hosters, SQLite is really all you need.</p>

<p>The real advantage of cloudflare workers is you don’t pay for the processing time while you’re waiting for upstream network responses.<p>I believe Cloudflare is the only FaaS that offers that. It makes it fantastic for putting a light weight layer in front of a few upstream API, like say inference providers.</p>

<p>Some of these requirements are so ridiculous that they create the need for everyone to do what Vance is accusing Microsoft of.<p>Many companies fulfill the intent of the law. They run a real hiring process — where they advertise online and interview people with work authorization/citizens and people who would require sponsorship.<p>But if someone requiring sponsorship was the best candidate for the job, then they have to run an additional “fake” process that fulfills these requirements, since no one actually hires tech workers from the newspaper.</p>

<p>I was a volunteer EMT for a while — and didn’t take it further for some similar/some different reasons.<p>One recommendation, if you want to take the class but aren’t planning on doing it professionally (and have any interest in outdoor activities), take a Wilderness First Responder class. I found I learned a lot more in that class, and much it is practical in many circumstances, not just riding on an ambulance. It’s also a lot more fun, as you spend a lot of time running around in the woods learning to macguyver splints out of all kinds of stuff.<p>The other thing I found was that to really be good at it/feel confident treating anything beyond the most basic patients, you’re going to have to work on an ambulance full time in an urban setting. And in most places, to do that professionally, you’re going to have to become a paramedic.</p>

<p>Note that the author denies the claim. And it also appears that AI detectors are split on the matter, and likely don’t have a rich training corpus of Haitian-French to draw on.<p>His publisher also said the original draft was submitted in 2019, though they’ve also become lukewarm in their backing of the author lately (he was also just accused of classic plagiarism for an unrelated short story).<p>So hard to say this one is settled.</p>

<p>Except there already was "something" that the creators of MCP just ignored.<p>Imagine a world where you could:<p>* Configure your favorite harness/chat client with any OpenAPI spec for an API that supports Oauth2.<p>* The harness would walk you through the Oauth flow and securely store the token.<p>* And then insert some tools for discovering the API methods and making requests in to the context.<p>* The agent could then formulate a request, call the request tool, and the harness would 1) makes sure it's allowed to make a request to that API, and 2) insert the Auth Token into the request.<p>It would be basically exactly the same way MCP is setup today, except all you would need is an OpenAPI spec.  You wouldn't have setup a server for a janky new standard that's half implemented slightly differently by every harness/chat client.</p>
