I think that's the point, and it's refreshing to see. My takeaway is that even if everything goes as good as it possibly could go, there will still be a need for that human touch.
Just saying that everything is going to go to shit and one or two corporations will take over everything... Maybe, but I've heard that story already.
That's also one of the things that worries me the most. What kind of data is being sent to these random endpoints? What if they to rogue or change their behavior?
mcp is generally a static set of tools, where auth is handled by deterministic code and not exposed to the agent.
the agent sees tools as allowed or not by the harness/your mcp config.
For the most part, the same company that you're connecting to is providing the mcp, so its not having your data go to random places, but you can also just write your own. its fairly thin wrappers of a bit of code to call the remote service, and a bit of documentation of when/what/why to do so
This doesn't appear to be true. My Plex media server is ancient and it really struggles if it has to do any kind of transcoding. Definitely can't handle high bitrate 4k stuff.
Yes, seems clear, right? It was an extremely hostile pompous criticism of something he didn't understand at all, and the questions were rhetorical, not asked sincerely or in good faith:
> Is this a “this dev” thing, a Zig thing, or am just out of touch with modern language (or even larger scale development) projects?
No, none of those, it's him making numerous rash assumptions.
But my snarky post was probably poor judgment on my part. I won't be commenting further.
I can live with lack of auto complete if i don't live in the blessed country. What's bad is when it rejects a perfectly valid address.
E.g. trying to enter a Canadian postal code in a US zip code field fucks a lot of things up. Very frustrating for Canadians trying to buy gas in Washington when the pump asks for a zip.
That link nailed me perfectly. I'm on my phone. Connected to wifi, like most people probably are. Chilling in bed or on the toilet.
If you're on cell service.. yeah probably less accurate. Not sure if it makes the form harder to fill out if you have to change some of the fields.
What I've started doing for my personal app though is I've added a "guess" button. It fills in the form using heuristics but it's opt in. Fills out like 10 fields automatically and I've tuned it so it's usually right, and when it isn't correcting a few is still quicker.
I work for IPinfo. The accuracy you see is inferred data actually. Our IP address location should not perfectly pinpoint anyone, unless that IP address is a data center of some sort. The highest accuracy for a non-data center IP address is usually at the ZIP code level. In terms of carrier IP addresses, currently we do one data update per day. If we did more, I guess the accuracy of mobile IP addresses would improve, but on an overall scale, it would be quite miniscule.
Our country-level data (which is free) is 10-15 times larger than the free/paid country-level data out there. We constantly hear that the size of the database is an issue. The size is a consequence of accuracy in the first place. So, it is a balancing act.
