Interesting, so you can bind a Clickhouse table as an extension to Grafana? Would you make a little Gist / post about it to show?

Interesting, have you also looked at other formal methods, like Abstract Interpretation?

How do you use it for visualization? Do you use ClickStack? or something else?

I guess they're getting bought because they had access to a lot of codebases from a lot of companies, and perhaps there's something to mine in those logs...

Okay, now try applying your thinking to abusive healthcare insurance companies and see how well this fares...

Did he... totally miss the point of AOC?

She said that no amount of "work" can "earn" billion dollars. So you earn billions through capitalism by rent, through owning companies, and having other people work for you. And ultimately, it should be obvious that societies have to cap this

We can TOTALLY say that there's a causal link, it's been proven by scientific stories

Have you heard of "rebound effect"? Sure you can say, individually, one query is not that much... but then it becomes integrated in search engines, so suddenly when there was no queries at all, now there's 500 billions per day, and it gets included in your CICD at every commit, and soon enough in your OS, etc

The real point is not "one session", it's the fact that people now do that routinely, that CICD are using those to check every commit, and each search engine query now does that too, so it multiplies

That's a global problem everywhere. But when you're traveling locally, you go there for the landscapes / buildings / history / cuisine. Not necessarily to hang out with people on TikTok

"The principle is that the agent doesn't need code changes, including skills/MCPs - it just accesses systems."

That's why you're having safety issues.

The real (and boring, and tedious) way to do it IS to create a unique way (API, MCP, whatever) for the agent to access your data / infra in a secure way.

Think about it as "typing" in language. Sure it's boring to have to put all the type info (even though in many case it makes dev easier too, because it forces to construct stuff cleanly), but then once it typechecks, you're relatively sure that it's doing what it's supposed to.

Here it would be the same. You build basic building blocks that you know are safe for the agent to access, and you let it compose them

It would be able to spawn psql correctly, but wouldn't be able to connect to the database (if it's secured with user accounts). It would only be able to use the database through the MCP (which uses a read-only account to connect).

I understand the "centralized registry" thing, but it's also easy to "forget about one case", and agents are good at circumventing stuff ("oh, I cannot DROP table, let me just remove all rows", etc). So I'd rather trust the permissions of the original db (eg getting a read-only account) which I presume have been battle-tested for this

So, why not instead limit your agents to a few endpoints / MCP functions that you control, which give access to your db (or whatever) through read-only permissions?

It seems this is a bit like "reinventing permissions" no?

Not sure why I would put another software to check that the agent doesn't do "SQL writes", rather than providing them... with a read-only account?

It looks like those projects are trying to reinvent service-accounts and permissions... Just define the permissions for each of your APIs, and provide only endpoints to these (through MCP or whatever) to your agents...

I agree. In Europe we're particularly lucky that, after only a few hours in a train, we can be in a totally different culture, speaking a different language.

But even without this, traveling in the country side, getting to learn the history of those places, with the "small history", not the big battles, but the local inventions, the local specialties, etc, is so enriching and rewarding

Except those "organic pesticide" are largely NOT used in modern organic farming, and when they are, they're used at a much lower level than "conventional pesticides"
