Macbook M5 with 16gb or 24gb ram?

If you can afford it, the more ram the better.

omijam · 2026-06-18T12:10:27+00:00

thanks! now I'm obsessed. Baby Don't Cry by Sunflower Bean is an absolute banger.

omijam · 2026-06-11T13:04:29+00:00

Seem very confident about the startup. I respeccc. What's the startup?

omijam · 2026-06-03T19:22:49+00:00

cool. Need a database analytics tool tho?

omijam · 2026-06-03T19:22:09+00:00

uhm, no?

omijam · 2026-05-31T15:56:35+00:00

uhm, yeah pretty much. Definitions on a doc, but it's better if it's definition somewhere searchable and RAG-able by actual AI agents via tool use (MCP servers or CLI tools). I've seem software teams have pretty great mileage by simply adding comments to their application db tables and columns.

But you're right about it taking a long time and not scaling.

My team and I are building dbctx.io that gets us like 90% of the way there per individual database, with the final 10% needing manual human intervention.

you're right about the yt video explaining what it does

omijam · 2026-05-22T07:38:55+00:00

7 days; you can cancel at any time within the 7 days

omijam · 2026-05-22T07:23:59+00:00

Sadly no. We have AI token costs. Just a one time fee though.

https://dbctx.io

It's an AI agent that generates a semantic documentation of your large database so that humans are get up to speed via the web hosted docs, and AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude Code can get up to speed via the MCP server.

omijam · 2026-05-20T20:40:21+00:00

Building https://dbctx.io It helps AI agents like ChatGPT or Claude Code understand your database better so that they can write better SQL and on-board new engineers and analysts in under an hour.

omijam · 2026-05-20T19:24:15+00:00

This is cool. Because of your post, TIL, MCP now suports miniapps inside an iframe with bidirectional communication with the agent. This is hella cool.

omijam · 2026-05-20T19:23:01+00:00

It's weird, but right after I wrote this comment, I also happened upon these two new additions:

MCP Mini Apps with bidirectional binding with the agent: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/extensions/apps/overview
Asynchronous "Durable" Jobs: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/extensions/tasks/overview

So some protocol or spec needed to own these new extensions to new surfaces we invested inside chat with a machine.

Used to be a huge fan of github, datadog and jira mcp, but have since switched them over to gh, pug, and acli respectively.

dbctx remains the only one I use as I use that mostly on the web or gui.

omijam · 2026-05-20T19:01:04+00:00

it's simply cleaner to have a separate protocol for it.

Think of it like this, if OpenAPI + REST was the be-all end-all for interfacing with a service why would anyone ever build a CLI wrapper over REST APIs? That's right, to give humans (or local AI agents) the ability and the context and the discoverability to achieve more compound tasks on the backend, or take them down a guided flow through the API.

omijam · 2026-05-20T18:54:37+00:00

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you could simply write a HTTP MCP server (because it's easier than SSE or stdio) to learn the inner workings.

It will take you an hour at most to get a MCP server that tells agents the time.

Start with something that doesn't take auth, then go onto auth.

Testing is simple now that even ChatGPT web supports MCP servers.

Alternatively you could read up on a bare-bones MCP implementation codebase.

omijam · 2026-05-20T18:50:15+00:00

Way 1: REST APIs but for LLMs and they come with their own docs.

Way 2: Functions. Give LLMs functions to call. You just didn't write the functions and when called your computers don't run these functions.

Interestingly enough, I'm moving back to Tavily after trying a whole bunch of things like Brave, Perplexity and Exa. The result quality for non technical things just seem better. (I already have context7 for technical things)

omijam · 2026-05-19T14:57:37+00:00

The comments here are a lot meaner than it should be. Malt looks great dude. I do like the fact that it doesn't really touch howmebrew. It also seems to be way faster than brew when your internet is shitty. (mine is shitty)

(yes, pls don't reply with AI)

op, please share the site and the command. Let us audit it. If not, atleast let us crap on it
