You’re probably you’re right, and it likely has more to do with subtly building the tools more explicitly and directly to do the intended job vs a more generic set of MCP tools. I’ll try out a more direct comparison and see if it holds.
Also just realized I jumped into an 8 day old thread as if it was just posted. I promise I've been on the Internet before.
You're too kind! The other specific bit that I've run into is that (anecdotally) AI frameworks seem to handle tools natively defined in their patterns better than generic MCP servers. I'm sure that will get better over time, but it seems like the happy path is "specialized" all the way down for now.
A laundry detergent bottle with the original Mux logo on it. The tagline is incredible, "Save Earth! Save Life!"
There's a soap/lotion company in Turkey that's been using our old @mux.com branding for years and...I kinda want some of it.
The dream of the 90s is alive and kicking
The pest control people did not prepare me for what happens if one of their sticky traps worked.

I've had someone solemnly explain to me that listening to an audiobook and calling it reading is stolen valor

For Thanksgiving week I want to take a sec to admire the UX atrocity that is our microwave/oven.
Numpads are so passé.
Me rn: I’m going to put this turkey stuff in the freezer to make a stock!
Me in 8mos: who tf put a mutilated turkey carcass in the freezer.
Someone years ago pulled a consistent, long running prank where they’d consistently subscribe me to newsletters for technologies they knew I didn’t like.
Had to be a coworker, because they’d cycle through all my work aliases. Honestly…it was infuriating, but a pretty good prank.
It’s not decentralized in the same way Mastodon is, pretty sure reporting these kinds of accounts actually works quite well. No idea how this small team seems to be keeping up with the scale of stuff like that pretty well.
A picture of a physical Balatro card. A glass Ace of Spades with a red seal. That means it’s an x2 mult that will retrigger one time with a 1-4 chance of the card being destroyed after scoring is finished.
This is extremely nerdy. I recognize that.
…but a coworker made me a real, physical Balatro card and I fuckin love it. 10/10 gift.
The mailing list for a certain major open source project has been completely off every rail possible the last couple of weeks.
People I respect and love just deep in the open source (sorry, “libre software”) trenches rn. Buy a FOSS developer a beer next time you see them.
Unfortunately I just don’t think it matters what they do. If it’s accessible in any way, it will get scraped by unscrupulous actors. Full stop.
That doesn’t mean terms shouldn’t exist and such, but I’m begging folks to consider how far they’ll go to “stop” it.
I dunno how to put this nicely, but…the open firehose we love to build around is open season for collecting training data.
Twitter and Reddit both locked down their APIs because of this (to make money on it themselves, tbf).
We can’t complain about walled gardens and ask an open one to become one.
I just finished the Acquired episode about Meta a few days ago and it’s wild to watch them run their playbook against Bluesky in real time.

kombucha meme showing a woman being disgusted then intrigued.
I totally understand why so many frameworks override the native fetch implementation. It's better for users 99% of the time, but lawds that last 1% can lead to absolute boondoggles.
I think I was in college before I realized it was "board game" not "bored game." At least no one could hear the difference, unlike when I confidently called something the "eh-pi-tōme" of something.
I can still feel the embarrassment of that moment when someone realized what I was trying to say.
Doesn’t the OnlyPosts feed take care of that?
Yeah this is heresy from the same guy that convinced me to try to use Safari as a daily driver
Oh god I’m not masochistic enough to take other people on this journey, this is my personal stuff.
But yes, Notion is fine. I should just use that.
…But also, what if I just spend 3 days crafting the perfect habit journal and task tracker via 9 Obsidian plugins?
You know what, self, you're right...you would definitely be more productive and organized if you obsessed over a new PKM tool for the 27th time and fiddled with it for a week before never touching it again leaving the notes inside to rot and die.

Confirmed. I'm going to count this as technically being involved in the upcoming release.
Someone uploaded a ~75 minute long loop of two bros chilling to stream.new and I'm trying to figure out if the troll call is coming from inside the house.

oh man, I'd love to help out however here, whether it's using Mux infra or not! I bought bsky.video back in the invite only days with plans on building a video experience (since there wasn't a native one) and never got around to it.
I wish I had a better answer!
I do generally agree with you, though...I can't rule out license scale being an issue, but I suspect it's much more likely that most problems were related to streaming an absolutely ungodly amount of video data over The Pipes.
Nah, there's nothing public there (at this point). I think your point is relevant, though, I'm guessing the social media complaints are loud...and also massively outsized relative to how many people watched it without (major) issues.
Well...I'd keep in mind that live is still new territory for Netflix, so any live optimized infra is still going to be fairly fresh. I haven't talked directly to the team so I can't speak with any confidence to specific failure points, though.
