When to use WebMCP vs. MCP? 🤔 Use WebMCP to make your active website "agent-aware" by exposing UI tools directly in the browser. Use MCP for connecting agents to external data and services beyond the tab. Read more at: developer.chrome.com/blog/webmcp-... #WebMCP #MCP #AIAgents

Discovery is easy for music, but I find it hard for written ideas. LLMs have become great at suggesting (mostly real!) hi-quality, essays and books based on what I like. Including pre-web content. A fun use case and the positive pendant of web content quality decline concerns

ik present tense for git commit messages is right, still feels strange to me. Rationale I found: • matches with merge/revert commits • it's an order to the codebase to change behavior // if i could just give it orders i wouldn't need to commit code, should i think of my code as the order payload?

I'm loving the MCPJam inspector. Best way for me to debug and test MCP servers. Open source, optional login, runs locally with a sleek UI, makes it a breeze to run/test/see multiple servers/tools all at once, plus preview across clients/models. 🍒 on the cake: new OAuth Debugger feature

Great read! Summary: This article envisions the memex, a mechanized personal library that would allow users to create and follow trails of interconnected information, mirroring the human mind's associative nature and solving the growing challenge of information overload in the post-World War II era.

Friday read: As We May Think, Vannevar Bush, July 1945.

Mendel’s concept of the laws of genetics was lost to the world for a generation because his publication did not reach the few who were capable of grasping and extending it; and this sort of catastrophe is being repeated all about us, as truly significant attainments become lost in the mass of the inconsequential.

you can use CSS to detect not only when a form is :valid but also when it's been interacted with s/:valid/:user-valid 🤙 .group:has(:user-invalid) { --color: var(--invalid); } input:user-invalid + .error { display: block; }

I like sLLM! Agree with you, what's more relevant from an application standpoint is whether a model is web-friendly. Web-friendliness factors: 1. Runnable on the web with reasonable inference times 2. Reasonable download size Reasonable = ? 5MB (75th percentile web page size), laxer def 10MB?
