This reminds me of Ise Shrine in Japan, which is completely dismantled then rebuilt every 20 years.

This is top of mind because I recently read Breakneck by Dan Wang. He makes the case that this practice of rebuilding the shrine preserves knowledge that would otherwise have been lost to time. Wang contrasts Ise Shrine with Notre Dame, where rebuilding the roof is apparently quite difficult, perhaps in part due to the loss of knowledge. I'm not familiar enough with either structure to judge whether this is a fair comparison, but I like the principle.

(Edit to add: This is only a minor analogy from the book, which I highly recommend overall.)

I believe GP is referencing this classic comment from 2007 on Drew's original Show HN post for Dropbox:

> For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.

The same for South Africa, and according to user reports some other countries too: https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/hacker-news

US VPN works, though.

edit: Seems to be resolved.

You can get a taste of this already.

While they still call it a prototype/beta, Sentry's MCP server [0] is a model for others to follow when it comes to convenience and usefulness.

Remote-first with OAuth. The biggest hurdle to using it as-is at the moment, is that most clients don't natively support OAuth yet, so often you'll rely on a local proxy server, like mcp-remote [1], to handle auth. Clients will catch up.

This is the most likely explanation.

I mean, sure, these characters could be used to help estimate the likelihood text was generated (because human writers might be less likely to add proper non-breaking spaces), but I doubt these are watermarks.

Real-time text output à la Apple Dictation with the accuracy of Whisper is something I've been looking for recently - I'll definitely give Aqua a spin.

MacWhisper [0] (the app I settled on) is conspicuously missing from your benchmarks [1]. How does it compare?

Thanks for writing this up!

> Filtering with vector search may be harder than you expect.

I've only ever used it for a small proof of concept, but Qdrant is great at categorical filtering with HNSW.

JSONPath-Plus is a widely used [0] JavaScript package to query JSON objects with the JSONPath query language.

Recent versions allow trivial RCE. [1]

I've never heard of combining metformin with the other two drugs. The naltrexone/bupropion combination is sold under the brand name Contrave. As with any weight loss drug, I recommend a healthy amount of scepticism. Contrave's history includes an initial FDA disapproval and two prematurely terminated studies, and the drug changed hands a couple of times.
