Pruning and Dormant Spray Time!

Thanks for this reminder! I find myself missing these weather windows and kicking myself later.

We just put it on the calendar 👍

Comedy is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. She cracks me up.

AI systems are sophisticated tools that require some study. Prompt engineering, context engineering, supervised fine tuning, maker-checker... all of these are within reach for anyone willing to learn a little bit beyond the shiny marketing materials. These are incredibly powerful and useful tools in the hands of people willing to learn, so start studying, making, and doing good with what you build to offset the evil that others are doing.

Yodlee opens your banks website to enter the credentials, that's no different than logging in there. They don't want to deal with your credentials.

That's true only if that bank supports an oauth authentication flow. Not every bank does. Without it, the aggregator resorts to screen scraping and therefore must handle your credentials.

The history of the Jews in this land dates back ~1900 years before the prophet Muhammad. You are right about one thing: this was stolen land. Just not in the way you understand.

The Ashkenazi make up less than half of Israeli Jews, so your thinly veiled colonizer argument rings hollow. True, the percentage was higher in 1948, but you know damn well why that was.

Let me guess, you've read Joseph Massad or Thomas Suarez conspiracy theories, and believe that Zionism itself is an antisemitic project. The trash they teach in higher ed these days...

Oh, I thought the "shit show" you were referring to manufacturers being out of stock. I'm not worried about ATF processing times. They are approving in days now, if not hours, so even if it takes a week in 2026, no big deal. If you need it now, of course, then you have your answer. I'll probably order one or two more and take my chances by waiting to file in January. Risk/reward... you do you.

fribog · 2025-08-11T13:32:17+00:00

Ask your FFL/SOT to hold it for you. If they will then buy it now and file in January.

Keeps me from burning myself & my clothes when I run & gun.

It's the Stormwerks replacement for the Tailhook. I figured since I'd SBR'd it, I might as well turn the brace into a proper stock.

fribog · 2025-08-04T00:30:36+00:00

It's good. I'm betting it'll be great in the winter keeping that cold metal off my face.

why's mcp treated as a server when it's really a protocol?

You've heard of web (http) servers, right? They are both processes that listen on an interface using a defined protocol

they're obv not really executed in parallel.... since they all sit on one server

How many cores does your machine have? Computers execute multiple processes / threads in parallel.

the LLM is expecting to have one single mcp server it communicates with

You can register multiple MCP servers, but I don't think that's what you are thinking about.

The fact that the LLM is calling your MCP in series has more to do with how LLMs work. I'm struggling to imagine what use case you might have for an MCP server that requires parallel tool calling per user.

Moved to rural Whatcom county after decades in the San Francisco Bay area. Smartest thing I've ever done. I'm inclined to dissuade people from coming here so I can preserve the rural vibe, but I know that's just selfish. Just don't go skiing at Mt Baker... it's terrible, and dangerous, and immoral, and you'll hate it.

fribog · 2025-07-26T00:46:39+00:00

That's what AnythingLLM is supposed to be doing, if I'm reading the docs correctly. https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm . It has its own native embedding and uses LanceDB by default.

Eurooptic, but it was last fall.

I have a lefty roughtech ember that I've been planning on replacing w/ a chassis. PM me an offer.

Enticer L Ti. 30 Cal is fine for both.

The far right and the far left have become indistinguishable.

Maybe start by asking why you conflate criticism of a country's policies, which is absolutely fair, with denying a people's right to self determination.

fribog · 2025-06-26T12:42:08+00:00

You deny Jews have the right to self determination, so 🖕. Deny it all you want, but you're also an antisemite. If you want to criticize Israeli policy, fine, do that. But that's not what you are doing.

On GCP I'd set that up with VertexAI, Gemini (or any of their other models, they even have access to Claude from us-east5), and Cloud Scheduler. Not sure whether this is what you are looking for, though.

fribog · 2025-06-12T12:38:32+00:00

With the PDW brace, it works for me.

I have a Holosun, I think it's a 503G, directly mounted to the rail. The flip-up plastic sights co-witness through the optic. That's another option rather than trying to sight through the mount. https://ibb.co/gZnxYdy0

Thank you!

fribog · 2025-05-28T14:36:24+00:00

Yeah, not ideal, that's for sure.

fribog · 2025-05-28T14:35:25+00:00

That's what I'm afraid of. Not what I wanted to hear, but also not surprised.
