on the minecraft tips app, you are paying money for something that saves you time.

on this one, you are paying for the same thing here, unless you wanna reimplement it by your own.

and there are lots of avenues to have an edge, such as support for other framework / libraries, better / more efficient implementation, more configurability / control on possible variants.

please don't shoot down people on their attempts to make a living on their efforts.

May we live his consistent reminder of refraining from hurting and hating each other regardless of country, race, religion, politics, etc.

what the fuck was that haha

europe is way too focused on empowering their losers instead of their winners.

its a weird era

1. unlike openai, google is already cashflow positive and doesnt need to raise any external funds

2. unlike openai, google already has the distribution figured out on both software and hardware

google is like an aircraft carrier that takes so fucking long to steer, but once done steering its entire armada will wipe you the fuck out (at least on the top 20% features for 80% use case)

anthropic already especialized for coding, openai seems to be steering towards intimacy, i guess they both got the memo that they need to specialize

shameless plug but im working on something where i give LLMs direct access to APIs without going through mcp.

initial demo is at uncomplexities.com.

Our initial release supports GitHub, Cloudflare, Bunny, Supabase, Box, Koyeb, Render, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Stripe, & Plaid.

In the homepage we provided one-click demos with digitalocean, cloudflare, stripe, and github.

Why we built this:

- We want LLMs to adapt. Usual approach is to hard-code the tools / actions they can do. We built this so LLMs can search and execute actions on the fly.

- We want to reduce redundancy. Writing MCP layers on top of OpenAPI specs brings in coverage limitations and versioning drifts. We built this so LLMs can have direct access to OpenAPI specs.

- We want to be more efficient. Entire OpenAPI specs from large vendors won't fit in context windows. We built this so they can just find what the exactly need and be able to use it.

Think of it like Google, but instead of finding information, it's for finding actions that your LLMs can execute.

You can read more info at homepage on https://uncomplexities.com/.

The usage instructions for LLMs are at https://api.uncomplexities.com/.

Our homepage demo, it's claude 3.7 instructed with "You MUST use the Uncomplexities API to correctly format our REST API operations. Read the usage instructions at https://api-cdn.uncomplexities.com/ or https://api.uncomplexities.com/ before we interact with any SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS."

Currently our goal is to provide a free public search engine of all saas/paas/iaas that has public-facing apis. thankfully cdns are a thing and we have some internal caches in place for the search operations so we can manage the costs.

We have more plans soon:

- open source core parts of it including pre-processed datasets

- add more usage guide for user and for developers

- improvements in indexing and search

- commoditizing some of the compliments, trying to build a business on top of it so we can sustain the free public stuff

please give us your feedback, thank you

Quick run-down of it:

- Most software, platform, & infrastructure vendors already provide OpenAPI specifications for all read & write operations on their services.

- On giving LLMs access to those services, the usual approach is to provide hard-coded tools.

- Problem # 1: Redundancy. When you hard-code tools, you end up creating wrappers, unnecessary layers, and you're forced to include/exclude parts of the spec, you're forced to update your wrapper layer when they update their specs.

- Problem # 2: They can get stuck on edge cases that requires a tool that isn't provided before-hand. They need to be able to adapt their capabilities based on the problem at hand. Like trinity in matrix downloading a skill to fly a helicopter - in real-time.

- Problem # 3: Trying to fit entire API specs in their context windows isn't possible - and it doesn't make sense too. It's like requiring a human to read an entire book when he just needs few pages from it to answer the problem at hand.

- To solve it, our thesis is that as long as LLMs can execute HTTP requests, they should be able to communicate with all SaaS, PaaS, & IaaS vendors.

- The key ingredient is to create a search engine of these OpenAPI Specifications.

- This 1.) removed the redundancy wrapper layer, 2.) lets them adapt to any situation they're in, and 3.) saves tokens by not requiring entire specs to be in their context window.

In the screenshot below, I told the agent "List my digitalocean servers, my api key is dop_v1_91ece4311ff2582ebb55889716c992fa247462729ff3a0bdc5d400dd75c302d2."

Here's what happened:

- It searched for "list digitalocean droplets"

- It searched for "list digitalocean domains"

- It retrieved the operation schema for listing droplets at /api/operations/266

- It retrieved the operation schema for listing domains at /api/operations/256

- It retrieved the droplets at http://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets

- It retrieved the domains http://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains

- It responded to the user

I've retrieved information about your DigitalOcean account. Here's what I found:

Would you like me to perform any specific actions with these resources or would you like more detailed information about any of these droplets?

just literally paste this block of text you wrote and i think you'll get sensible answers there.

you have to learn to negotiate in 1 on 1s instead of taking your bad laundry in the public.

it ends up looking like group think and in that setup your value is dragged down to the average of everyone in it.

i think you're the one who should rename your company to Autismo, Inc.

but if you really wanna polish your linux skills, go throw youeself in the swimming pool and learn to swim by downloading the latest ubuntu desktop iso and flashing it to a flash drive using balena etcher, then boot it from bios to install it to your laptop.

will it be hard? yes of course. will you learn a lot? absolutely. can you revert back to windows anytime? yes, just google for "github massgravel" and it will link you to windows / office installers (using their license activators is optional, wink wink).
