https://starlight.astro.build/

The whole site can be configured in the astro.config.js file and the rest is markdown.

If you want an example you can look at sst.dev and their github repo at https://github.com/anomalyco/sst/tree/dev/www

I would suggest trying a different harness. I only use OpenCode and haven't run into limits on even the $20 OpenAI plan. I will say that I use it more as an assistant and don't usually just say "hey go do this thing" without a plan broken down into tasks. With that being said, i don't think i have used even 50% of my 5 hour allotment, even when having it do everything.

So all that to say, maybe try other harnesses because it could just be a prompt issue in the harness.

I am also an unabashed opencode shill, so take that into account too.

To me it depends on the intended use:

- MCP - if you need discoverability. a great example for this is something like context7

- CLI/API + Skill: When you have a defined workflow you want to use. For me a good example of this is using the Linear GraphQL API instead of their MCP

I prefer the Linear API because, where I work, we have come up with our way of using the tool so I don't need the entire MCP to do what I need the agent to do. I think for most use cases an MCP is a waste of context.

This is really just boiled down to one thing and it has been the same thing for a very long time. Solve a problem people are willing to pay to have solved. The bigger the problem, the more money you will make. Bigger can mean either more widespread or more valuable.

The hard part is finding a problem and then the actual hard part is coming up with a solution that you can produce for cheaper than someone is willing to pay for it.

Because it is simple, reliable and it was early

Don't get me wrong, this is a cool idea but the main complexity with DAGR is around the SAASM functionality which you can't do on a phone, at least not a publicly available one.

I also agree that you should be able to make a DAGR 2 that is much smaller and more powerful but it would always have to be a standalone device.

Well I don't think it will actually happen anytime soon but in the meantime when people think it has happened, I will start my consultant firm.

"Did you vibe code your app and now it's broken and no one knows how it works or how to fix it? Call us. We can help."

One idea where the compute is super front loaded would be to use your compute to generate data sets that you could sell. Burn through the $10k build the data sets, then selling them won't cost much in terms of cloud costs.

I also have zero idea on what type of data someone would be interested in buying but you never know.

Some of these are political so take that into account but these are the ones i listen to:

- Joe Rogan Experience ( a bit of everything) - Matt & Shane's Secret Podcast (Comedy) - Called to Communion (Catholic) - Tucker Carlson (Political) - Part of the Problem (Political) - Tom Wood's Show (Political/Cultural) - Your Welcome with Michael Malice (Political/Cultural) - The Game with Alex Hormozi (Business) - History Hyenas (Comedy)

If I am going on a long drive, I will also listen to Hardcore History or Martyr Made. The long episodes help me lose track of time.

Yeah i get that. I just hesitate to give any government even more power than they do now to silence people, which they would definitely use any law like that to do.

I will have to check that out, it sounds interesting. It was also pretty obvious how all the social media companies pushed the same narrative through COVID.

I don't like how these social networks and the media try to manipulate things but I don't think giving the government even more power will fix anything. It will probably make it worse. I think even if you had those laws on the books, you would still get manipulation through selective enforcement.

I think the only solution is education and individuals saying no to these platforms' and their algorithmic feeds. I think we are already seeing a growing movement towards people either not using social media or using it way less than they did previously. I know for me personally, I use X but only follow tech people i like and only look at the "following" tab. It is a much better experience than the "for you" tab

So i just made dinner and thought of this question. One thing the LLMs a very good at is "I have X, Y, Z ingredients. what can i make and how can i make it?" It has really helped me start to move more towards buying ingredients as opposed to processed crap.

The TV station thing, talking about the US here, only applies to broadcast TV and it is a condition of getting their a frequency allotment from the government.

No, i am not saying that it is the same. I am saying that it would start as "We are just going after the tech companies" but if you give the government an inch they will take a mile. They would take that and expand upon the hate speech stuff you are already see around the world as an excuse to arrest whoever they wanted.

I am a free market person, so i think these sites are providing something to the market that people like or they wouldn't be there. If you wanted to rein them in, fine but you have to be careful how you word stuff or it gets pretty scary pretty quickly.

hold on, are you saying that you should be able to be jailed for manipulation? Where would that end? could i be jailed if i post a review for a restaurant if you feel it manipulated you? or anyone stating an opinion could be construed as manipulation. that is beyond a slippery slope, that is an authoritarian nightmare.

The Anarchist Tool Chest. Its a book about hand tool woodworking and letting go of the notion that you need to buy every tool they make just to make something out of wood. The author espouses a lifestyle I think we all could do a better job of living. Which is basically own fewer, nicer things made by local artisans and craftsman.

I heard somebody on a YouTube video (wittworks) explain why things like woodworking and stuff speak to so many in our profession, "If you work with your mind, you need to rest with your hands". This book helped me unlock a hobby that helps me relax after being at a computer all day without thinking I need a 4000 sq ft wood shop and 10's of thousands of dollars.

If you go this route, major in electrical engineering, not computer engineering. you will get more out of it

I agree with that, I have just seen on here before that people think you can't regulate the electrical output of a nuclear plant like with more traditional ones.

That doesn't really support his rhetoric. He has always said that he doesn't like the trade deficit, which is a dumb idea, so increasing exports would go along the same vein as increasing tariffs to limit imports.

I think what would be more likely is the EU does something with it as a bargaining chip to reduce import tariffs rather than Trump trying to tax it out of existence.

And just to be clear Trump's trade policy is dumb and I don't support it.

nuclear plants can cut power as quickly as any other power plant, you are just controlling steam. divert the steam from the turbine and you aren't generating power anymore.
