You know MCP servers, right? Those handy tools that let your AI assistant send emails, run database queries, basically handle all the tedious stuff we don't want to do manually anymore. Well, here's the thing not enough people talk about: we're giving these tools god-mode permissions. Tools built by people we've never met. People we have zero way to vet. And our AI assistants? We just... trust them. Completely.| www.koi.security
It turns out we've all been using MCP wrong. Most agents today use MCP by exposing the "tools" directly to the LLM. We tried something different: Convert the MCP tools into a TypeScript API, and then ask an LLM to write code that calls that API. The results are striking.| The Cloudflare Blog

Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers. Research from BetterUp Labs and Stanford found that 41% of workers have encountered such AI-generated output, costing nearly two hours of rework per instance and creating downstream productivity, trust, and col...| Harvard Business Review

We have a code of conduct encouraging various behaviours, especially being welcoming and patient with newcomers. We also have a statement that AI contributions are acceptable provided the contributor understands the code before submitting for review. These interact in an unfortunate fashion.

LLMs require a human operator with deep understanding of a problem before they can generate useful code I recently stumbled on this post - a good read that makes the point about being lured into a pitfall of believing that LLMs provide a shortcut around deep learning for their human operator. The Loop Before The Code Software development rarely begins by writing code. Usually, the first step is actually a loop (of sorts): understanding the problem, examining requirements, exploring edge cases...| Konstantin's Blog Feed
In my old age I’ve mostly given up trying to convince anyone of anything. Most people do not care to find the truth, they care about what pumps their bags. Some people go as far as to believe that perception is reality and that truth is a construction. I hope there’s a special place in hell for those people.| the singularity is nearer
Part of me is always unnerved when I see people running claude --dangerously-skip-permissions or codex --yolo to give them unfettered ability to run commands on their machine. Admittedly, I do usually hit approve when I’m asked about a specific command, so I certainly understand the temptation to just avoid all that fuss and do a blanket approval.

As a bit of background, one of my hobbies is helping people recover data from old tape cartridges, such as QIC-80 tapes, which were a rather popular backup medium in the 1990s among individuals, small businesses, BBS operators, and the like. I have a soft spot for tape media; there’s something about the tactile sensation of holding these tapes in my hands that makes the whole process very joyful, even though QIC tapes are notorious for their many design flaws. With some careful inspection a...| Dmitry Brant
I wrote a small tool for myself as my biannual routine check of where llms are currently at. I think I've learned a bunch from this exercise. This is frustrating! I don't want to learn by trial and error, I'd rather read someone's blog post with lessons learned. Sadly, most of the writing on the topic that percolates to me tends to be high-level --- easy to nod along while reading, but hard to extract actionable lessons. So this is what I want to do here, list specific tricks learned.| matklad.github.io
I’ve been apartment hunting here in the Tokyo-area with my girlfriend. We’ve been sending links to various rental property listings back and forth in LINE (messaging app) and emailing with brokers.

So it’s pretty public that for about a month now I’ve had 32 processes setup on one of the 64 core 128gb RAM servers to just ssh in, tmux to a window, and tell it to slam on some things non-stop. And it has been really successful!.. with the right definition of success. Let me explain. I think the first will answer the others. Basically, Claude is really not smart at all.

You heard it here first: my guess is that Rust, Python, and TypeScript are going to become the dominant languages going forward (excluding the mobile market, which has extra wrinkles). The argument is simple. Increasing use of AI coding is going to weaken people’s loyalty to programming languages, moving it from what is often a tribal decision to one based on fundamentals. And the fundamentals for those 3 languages look pretty strong to me: Rust targets system software or places where effic...| smallcultfollowing.com

It is wild to think that it has been only a handful of weeks. Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale. I still write code at the same level of quality, but I feel like I have a new freedom of expression which is hard to fully articulate.

In the 1950s and 1960s, there was an explosion of innovation in programming languages. Programmers went from programming in assembly language and machine code, to writing programs in higher-level, portable, languages. Pioneers like John Backus, Jean Sammet, and Grace Hopper had the foresight to see what is now common knowledge: software is at the core of technology, and improving the speed and cost of software development would accelerate the rise of computing, and rise of the world’s economy.| kiro.dev

Out of multiple conversations with people at BSD conferences, I noticed that many would love to see a chatbot that provides precise information on FreeBSD—for users, admins, and developers.

We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how early-2025 AI tools affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories. Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than without—AI makes them slower. We view this result as a snapshot of early-2025 AI capabilities in one relevant setting; as these systems continue to rapidly evolve, we plan on continuing to use this methodology to help estimate AI ...| metr.org
