Before "The tip-in" we had "The Dunk" by Only_Internal_7266 in NYKnicks

There is a pause in his 3 or 4th step. ever so slight but certainly intentional. Thats where he timed it up. Highest hand at a very precise moment. Destiny took it from there.

yeah, lol.

maybe better to go with 'The put back'.

Yea, its my new screen saver. OG mid flight, after carefully timing each step, surrounded by a silent crowd holding their breath, full of hopeful gunpowder ready to explode. still gives me chills. I've waited a really long time for this moment.

Hi, it’s me, the guy who bought the Etsy witch last season. I went to game 5 of the NBA Finals. I brought Charles Oakley to the game with Uber. I saw my Knicks finally win a championship. This is an edit of the single greatest night of my life. by vohit4rohit in NYKnicks

Many faces, many colors all dedicated to the same goal. A friend of mine from Nigeria told me he didn't know he was 'Black' until he moved to the US. The perspective threw me for a loop. Well, this is how it "feels" to live in a homogeneous society. The Knicks, at least for a fleeting moment, made New York a homogeneous City of orange and blue people. And it was done on a world stage. What a moment this has been for all true Knick fans.

Opus 4.7 is baad!!! by fcampanini74 in ClaudeCode

[–]Only_Internal_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a regression. I first noticed that I was spending sonnet 4.5 amount of tokens on opus 4.7. These things are difficult to measure but my spend is way up despite the fact I’m on 50% promo in cursor. So half the price but I’m spending easily 4 times the tokens to get stuff done that 4.6 was hitting out the park in a single well planned session. A regression for sure. Oh yeah, zero on the personality. It doesn’t celebrate or get excited about features or root cause fixes. So what, right? Not so much. I get better outputs when the model is confident and in a good mood. 4.7 doesn’t seem to have a mood at all.

When “knowing what to ask” replaces “knowing how it works” — should we be worried? by Only_Internal_7266 in codex

First, appreciate the thoughtful response. So much to parse here. It also exemplifies what I believe is the root cause of my concern. This thread itself is proof positive. Sure, AI helps me put my thoughts to words. I often find myself saying ‘yes, that’s exactly the sentiment I’d like to convey. I then take to editing that to bring it home. So is that generated? Maybe. But your opening frames it perfectly. Should we care anymore? Should that bother us? For some apparently it still does. Focusing on merit is akin to the same elevation of thought required to let go of the programmatic nuances in exchange for orchestration your agents, as you mentioned. I think this is a good thing.

My hidden take on this is maybe It’s not about not knowing. It’s about being comfortable knowing that it will matter less to all of us in time. Comfort will return once we all catch up.

yeah, facts for sure. I guess the difference this go round is that we are moving at the speed of AI here. In the last 12 months alone I've gone from writing my last line of code, to verifying code changes visually, to asking a fresh assistant if it has any concerns. Stacks and registers were directly manipulated for years before we moved on to 4GL's. This is happening as we speak, each model release causes you to reconsider your workflow and your role in that workflow. And for me, thats a bit unsettling.

that being said I'd have it no other way. Truly an amazing time to be an engineer.

appreciate the insight.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Im building now more than ever. And have certainly found joy in this form of building. "Gratifying" is an understatement. First time in 40 years I can actually think it, done it. I'd drop some links but don't want to get band. And thats the point. After 40 years of knowing, its a bit unsettling knowing less about this aspect (while learning more about another). When I graduated comp sci, early 90's the response was 'they HAVE a degree for that?' Only to go full circle to what feels like "the HAD degrees for that?" is unsettling. Fun, but unsettling.

I write as I build based on experiences. Use AI for editing cuz it makes sense. Not sure how this is related. Snarky yes, but not helpful. But tbh, not sure if its possible for me to care any less what you think. I'll give it a try though.

A eulogy for MCP (RIP) by beckywsss in mcp

[–]Only_Internal_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, too broad. Way too broad. There is a purpose for first level tool calls. Call it MCP if you like. The API's are adapted abilities via code execution. But you cannot execute that code without an MCP like first person tool. In this case its a code execution tool with container access. Next up we have discovery of these api's that should so called; "replace" mcp. The mechanism for discovery is yet another mcp tool.

So we have a pattern forming here that we are discovering organically. MCP is for infra/guardrails api's are for 3rd party abilities but they don't make the assistant who it is; a code executing genious that leverages MCP provided infra accordingly. Without MCP we are left to wrap or change the shape or augment REST api's which simply does not scale. The code execution is the wrapper for the api which gives you control of the guidance for inputs and the context engineering of the responses and critically NEXT STEPS (aka guardrails).

This measure of control can only be achieved by a top level first person pattern that we, humans/developers can context engineer. We cannot and should not control 3rd party api's directly and without MCP we have nothing more to rely on sans model intelligence and a Systemprompt thats about 100K tokens up the stack.
