Perhaps I'm not understanding Pi's architecture correctly, but (unless you want to use popular MCP servers) what is the advantage of MCP vs. Pi's tools? Ins't calling a Pi tool in an extension exactly the same as an MCP tool, in the end?

The latest Tory proposals sound just like that. Banning floating bus stops, crackdown on "rainbow" lanyards, dangerous cycling. Perhaps in the future people will only be able to have yellow flowers in their gardens or bake bread on odd numbered days.
In a time where big infrastucture investment is needed they are like the middle management that changes the Jira workflow every 3 months just to appear to be doing something.
The Internet, amazing as it is, it's also the home to the worst possible content imaginable and believe it, kids always find a way to neutralize parental controls and the like.
Also, I don't understand this notion that "tech" (in the most vague definition possible) actually brings any future advantage.
It's like teaching kids Excel or Python and hope they will win a Fields medal. If parents teach them critical thinking, reading books and love math and logic, they'll pick up any problem, language or "tech" easily when they're older and run circles around other kids that "know programming".
Unpopular opinion, perhaps: I find them ugly and slow, but not soul-crushing.
Granted, I only use WD to book PTO. If my whole work was around it, I would probably hate it too. My work _is_ around Jira, but my opinion is just a strong "meh". Companies should definitely find better alternatives, but the hyperbole is a meme at this point, e.g. "I'd rather be unemployed than use Jira"
I'll just add Hitchcock's The Birds.
I saw it as a kid and it made an impression on me on several levels. For instance, a scary movie doesn't have to be about monsters. And made me realise that other living beings aren't in this planet just to be either food or pets, they're our neighbours.

But I was talking about the intended usage, it doesn't sit as fraudulent to me in the scientific sense.
I'm perfectly fine with this usage, although it is very sloppy if the authors and reviewers didn't pick the "certainly" in the final text.
These days I have literally piles of old Macs that I have fun trying different Linux distros on.
Pros: It was the most spacious flat I've lived on. I'm not talking about area, but the layout itself, it was amazingly well architected. Massive windows too, great lighting (but see cons).
Cons: Single glaze windows (and a protected facade) meant eye-watering energy bills. Poor quality subfloor (with carpet) meant 24/7 creaking when walking over it.
When AI is able to think creative, novel thoughts then I admit progamming will be a thing of past.
But he should remember that, when AI can think creatively, so will CEOs be a thing of the past.
What brought it closer to home was the characteristics of the recently affect site (same number of daily visits, not popular (a bit niche), etc) where similar to mine.
Moving is easy enough, mostly requiring a DNS update, since I prefer to build the HTML locally and then just dumping it somewhere.
What struck me as odd, when looking for an alternative is that almost none of the popular solutions Netlify, Vercel, Cloudfare (AFAIK) actually implement a spend limit.
This seems like such a basic thing to do...
Contracts will not have fixed terms anymore and "no-fault" evictions will be illegal. Those are two main ones I think.
What I can't do is square this with my own observations of the current generation of parents. In my particular social and geographic circle, most parents tend to let the children do whatever they please. This almost produces "feral" children that can't even eat and sit properly (and I don't mean the Victorian Properly, I mean without dumping a full plate of food on their head or throwing cuttlery against the wall) or observe the basic rules of social interation.
If the "throw me the pebble" was applied to these children they would just think it would be OK to throw pebbles at strangers on the street.
What's the missing element in our society (honest question)?
it actually changed my ethnicity from caucasian to asian...
It seems to be all variations of "You gave me for safekeeping, now it's mine".
The weird thing for me is that there is no strong cultural link between Britain and the marbles. These might as well be the Rapa Nui Moai statues. Even the British Museum having the Liberty Bell would make more sense from an historic POV.
Again, just my opinion, but it seems like the British museum is using this to fight back against a very British malaise: not handling well with the slow decline of its status as a world power.
An app that supports a database of nutrients, recipe ingredients, supermarket shopping links. Something like "give me 10 balanced[1] meals, give me the shopping list with no duplicates and links to supermarket X" Nothing new, but all other apps I've tried are always missing something I want.
- Started creating a repo of NuShell scripts to scratch my own itch
I added things organically (when I needed something I tried to break the action into smaller functions). By the end I had quite nice library that dealt from Kubernetes deployments to Linux hardening.

But now, by virtue of my young son being so enthusiastic about it, I end up, at my age, learning about it and even reading articles about it on HN!
I guess it really is a testament to its longevity.
Electric bulbs are neat, but there was inneficient artifical light before.
On the other hand, a caveman might look at the moon, but he would never land there without modern tools.
GAI doesn't allow us to overcome any Human inherent limitations, it's just an efficient tool (in certain scenarios).
GAI doesn't enable Humanity to do anything that wasn't possible before. Perhaps we can do it more efficiently, but it's not turning the impossible into possible, like many other previous advancements did.
Just a suggestion: accept clicks on a position area. At least for me, it didn't accept the click unless it was exactly on the letter's body (tricky during rotation)
