mi_lk··on Pi.dev: You Said No MCP
Yeah YMMV. FWIW I did that earlier today and I think I got a better idea about what codemode is than the changelog and the post
mi_lk··on You Said No MCP
The post mixes Codemode and MCP yet the explanation is strange IMO and both appear to be new things in the latest release

If you are a Pi user it may be better to just ask your agent to explain https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/10040

mi_lk··on Sonnet 5.5
Seems like quite a different level of attention seeking by posting the exact same prompt result, every time there’s a new model, that links to their own website.
mi_lk··on Sonnet 5.5
Sick of the cheap shot
mi_lk··on What Zig felt like, coming from Rust
It’s not a Zig post if pjmlp doesn’t claim the language is Modula-2 rip-off.

Seriously impressive that you’re going to repeat that until the end of time

mi_lk··on Navier-Stokes Announcement
I really like this style of writing for some reason. Not sure how to put it but it’s a rare combination of a vague post and confidence
mi_lk··on GPT-6 Astra on OpenRouter
It stopped being a valuable benchmark proxy quite a few model versions ago. Simon knows it, so is everyone who’s serious about it

Treat it like a bit as is

mi_lk··on How concerned should we be about Astra's recurrent architecture?
if only tweeting is as rigorous as academic literature reviews
mi_lk··on Dutch central bank moves 86 tonnes of gold from US citing 'geopolitical unrest'
Yes policeman right here
mi_lk··on Poisson Disk Sampling
Off-topic but I quite like another post about relationships on this site: https://stripeacross.com/posts/no-bf-22/
mi_lk··on Understanding ChatGPT Work
Is it not significantly more token hungry at the same time?
mi_lk··on Htmx 4.0
Does HTMX not have some performance gain over JS frameworks? (Never used it before)
mi_lk··on Suica, Japan's First IC Transit Card
Just came back from Singapore and their transit card is the normal kind you’ll find in big cities in the west

Only Japan is on another level

mi_lk··on Transmission has been forked as "ReTransmission"
Same. I never have issues with Transmission and actively avoid other feature-rich clients but I guess I'm not a super user
mi_lk··on Uber SubmitQueue: a high-performance speculative merge queue
That doesn't counter my point - yes there'll be dependency hell but at the same time fundamental developer tools like code intelligence or basic git operations take eons to complete or need strange workarounds

So code infra/library team benefit from monorepos but at the same time most other developers have to suffer

I don't know about Google but monorepos I've worked in are painful and far from ideal dev experience

mi_lk··on Uber SubmitQueue: a high-performance speculative merge queue
Monorepo benefits maybe a small set of developers that manages it for the whole company, at the cost of most other engineers who develop in it. Unnecessary waste of time.

Case in point another new merge queue has to be created to somehow manage the messiness

mi_lk··on Dithered QR Codes
I like the writing style. The first section is super clear about what QR code is in ~200 words
mi_lk··on Stateless MCP has recaptured my interest
Yes, I meant the decision to not support MCP by default without plugins, like Skills, could be revisited if it’s now efficient
mi_lk··on Stateless MCP has recaptured my interest
Interesting, then I wonder if Pi having Skills support but not MCP support by default still makes sense
mi_lk··on Oxide Computer raises $445M (SEC Form D)
you can't deny that comes off condescending for a _client_ looking for your business
mi_lk··on RipGrep musl binaries occasionally segfault during very-large searches
Then where’s the lie in “soulless AI slop”?
mi_lk··on Zig's Incremental Compilation Internals
Would you mind sharing some thoughts about fil-c? AFAICT its claims mostly check out so besides implementation details (GC?) it seems directionally good.
mi_lk··on An Uncomplicated Man – A review of The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan
Well the author, an expert in Homer, doesn't hold punches that's for sure.

It also shows a literature critic doesn’t really translate into a film critic because this piece is borderline pedantic about the adaptation script and not the movie as a whole.

mi_lk··on Decathlon Germany adds Wero payment option to decathlon.de website
English version: https://www.betaalvereniging.nl/en/news/next-phase-of-ideal-...
mi_lk··on Scriptc by Vercel: TypeScript-to-Native compiler, no JavaScript engine in binary
It's coming from Vercel, what do you expect?
mi_lk··on JetZero
how do know if a route would go through cloud forming regions
mi_lk··on Hannah Fry Wins the Leelavati Prize in 2026 for Mathematics Outreach
Seems to happen to most top universities, or is there some context I'm missing?
mi_lk··on How to pack ternary numbers in 8-bit bytes
Had a good chuckle
mi_lk··on Kimi K3, and what we can still learn from the pelican benchmark
At this point I am simply interested in how much longer you're gonna ride this schtick
