EFF Is Leaving X

After nearly 20 years on the platform, The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) says it is leaving X. "This isn't a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue," the digital rights group said. "The math hasn't worked out for a while now." From the report: We posted to Twitter (now known as X) five to ten times a day in 2018.

Я просканировал 30 публичных MCP-серверов: почти половина не дошла даже до скоринга

Мы привыкли винить LLM-агентов в галлюцинациях, бесконечных циклах и слитых бюджетах на API. Но что, если проблема в инфраструктуре, которую мы им скармливаем? Я написал детерминированный CI-сканер для оценки качества MCP-серверов и прогнал через него 30 публичных пакетов. Результат оказался интересным: почти половина серверов убивает агента ещё до старта, а официальные инструменты дают ИИ гранату в руки.

I watched my father leave the house at the same time every morning for close to thirty years. Same briefcase, same route, same company. He worked in sales management, and even on the days I could tell he was frustrated or exhausted, he never questioned whether the grind was worth it. He just kept going. ... Read more Read more
