Having said that... I think OpenAPI is exactly the right direction - it comes free with most ways of building an API or easily can, and once you have it interfaces are just a transform away.

And reflecting on your approach, perhaps it's quite a good way to on-board lots of organisations that might have been hesitant or left behind otherwise.

Hmm but the OpenAPI MVP server just exposes the commands for each API it knows about to the agent - then the MCP server makes stateless API calls. Problem solved.

MCP isn't stateful in terms of connection with a downstream API server - only with a local bit of code that translates LLM tool calls to something else. There's no inherent coupling.

Looking at your get_tools() it does essentially the same thing as the OpenAPI MVP server but without being an MCP server - meaning now there are two standards where before there was one, and your tool is most usefully imagined as a local stdio MCP server.

Oof what a silly naming decision. Deepfake already has an established coherent meaning - it's specifically about impersonation with video/audio/images. Just writing in collaboration with a tool is not deep or fake necessarily.

A dear friend sent me this years ago and, more than any other book (maybe tied with https://ldngraffiti.co.uk/media/street-fonts) it has brought me and many visitors great joy and inspiration.

Unless they volunteered precisely so that they would have early access and could leak it, which would be sensible.

Seed banks are mostly self-refreshing. Seed viability decline during storage is measured and modelled for. A sample of seeds is taken out of storage and grown to breed a new batch of seeds after an amount of time based on the rate of decline of that sample.

So a batch that loses 20% viability every 5 years will be regrown to seed after a shorter amount of time than one that loses 2% viability every 5 years.

Rave culture is alive and well in the UK - free parties several days a week around Bristol and south Wales. Old heads and the younguns collaborating usually.

Thank you,I stand corrected, should have said "industrialised whaling".

The Basque History of the World by Mark Kurlansky (book/audiobook) is excellent on this topic. The Basque, according to current evidence, invented whaling, and were culturally central to its interweaving with human history. The book tells the tale with rigour and flare.

That absolutely cannot be true. If a business does not want to be a casino, it doesn't have to be.

I run a pub. We'd never have any gambling (machines or otherwise) in it, and we charge less than most pubs for locally sourced beer/cider.

If you're running your business to extract value from people rather than to create community with them, you're a bad person.

Agreed! It also brings friendships, new ways of thinking and framing, inspiration, and the opportunity to give and receive support - to discover how much you can matter, and the good you can do.

"pour over" -> "pore over" btw

That's not at all what this is. Tauri is written in rust but doesn't require writing any rust. You can use just frontend js, or node on the backend, or rust, python, c++, etc.

Tauri might be a nice alternative to electron. I've had good experiences with it, developing and distributing small internal tools that work cross-platform.

I'd really like to see it compared to Tauri [0] which is the established leader in this space.

Circos.js uses d3 and works great with other things in the ecosystem. You customise it with idiomatic d3.

Wonderful.

Also. Komorebi is a Japanese word for the way light dapples through layers of leaves to illuminate a forest floor. I also made a tool called komorebi (an internal tool used for visuallly highlighting features in genomic comparisons) and deeply appreciate the name.

Yes, that's the thinking.

To elaborate that thinking: when absorbed in the quantities experienced by a farm worker in this context, some pesticides can have irritant or toxic effects. They (or rather their application methods and cocktails) are designed not to permeate the food products of the plant, although some do with some foods and this is ongoing research. Farmers need to consistently produce healthy produce people can afford, and want to do as little harm as possible to people in the process.

Absolutely beautiful - both the clear explanation and the idiomatic (tidyverse style) R packages and code walkthrough. The combination of the two allowed me to read through and understand in one go. And I have immediate uses for the packages. Thanks!

Then you put "no" since you clearly can't distinguish when someone is bored.

The name is usually assigned in a publication, but there is a long and wonderful tradition of involving laypeople in the naming, and/or naming it after them.

Rhizomes are underground plant stems that propagate a plant, different than rhizobia which are root symbionts of plants.

Methylphenidate is exactly what I take - strange and interesting that we have opposite experiences, but in Xberg I never had a problem

I have never experienced that problem. I've had my prescriptions filled without having to wait for stock dozens of times in Berlin.
