Why would an AGI be slaving away for ~~humanity~~ one of the 5 Chaebols in a dystopian future where for 12 billion people just existing is a good day ?

I think people worry about monopolies, be it financial or otherwise

That forign key column is saving duplicating multiple columns

But I don’t think that’s the top 5 reasons of normalization


Qt looks nice as a user and gnome gtk isn’t too bad either

Wx isn’t bad either. https://wxwidgets.org/

You don’t get an app that looks the same across platforms. You do get apps that look like they belong on your platform, even though the code is cross-platform. It uses the native toolkit no matter where you run it across Windows, GTK, Qt, Motif, macOS/Carbon, macOS/Cocoa, and X11 with generic widgets.

Older platforms are also supported, like OS/2, Irix, and OSF/1.

https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Supported_Platforms

It’s a C++ project, but it has bindings for most of the languages you’d use to build an application. Ada? Go? Delphi? Ruby? Python? Rust? Yes, and more. https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Bindings


The problem is, most of these bindings are out-of-date. Delphi from 2012, Basic from 2002, D from 2016. wxRuby is a dead link. wxAda was already dead in 2009, as the discussion I can google suggests.

So, if you use wxWidgets, you probably have to use either C++ or Python version, others are unlikely to be supported.


wxRuby has been resurrected as wxRuby3, see https://mcorino.github.io/wxRuby3/

Among actively developed bindings, there is also wxRust at https://crates.io/crates/wxdragon


> [Wx] uses the native toolkit no matter where you run it

This is false. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24250968 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24259040 It was false in 2020 and it is still false today (I just checked).

I wish the Wx proponents would stop saying these things. Who exactly are you trying to fool? Do you have no concept of reputational damage? What good comes from a claim that is so easily disproven by just installing a Wx application and looking?


Do you understand the difference between a toolkit API and a graphical widget?

I’m not trying to fool anyone. I'm not affiliated with the project. I’m just aware of it and have used it a few times. You, on the other hand, have called me a liar and a fraud because I repeated exactly what the project docs state and which your two links do nothing to contradict. In fact, you linked to yourself being corrected by the actual maintainer of the project. Did you read anything he wrote?


3 things bug me Now why would cursor agree to that unless the offer was better than what their market valuation + acquisition premium < 60

This was a similar play for twitter by the same person

While an innovator at the time, today there are a lot of LLM coding solution, sold by model providers, model aggregators even open source ones , it’s not obvious what is being bought that isn’t a feature of vs code or one of the LLM agents ( as the dismissive saying goes )


The distinction here is, this law is a do as I say not as I do. Different laws for different dob ( dob not age )

SQLite is famous for single writer how does that reconcile with you criticism of the article

It’s well established if the US wants to they can find them and crypto can be traced.

Same question though how are they paying for the domain, assuming this is on the plaintiff to trace


What does "finding them" even means in this context? There are many hacker organizations located in Russia that are much worse than Anna's Archive. From my understanding those also operate websites / platforms to offer services.

Well clearly that’s false? Not all crypto transactions are traceable for example. And since they haven’t found them, that seems to disprove your statement doesn’t it?

Not really this is civil case not the full weight of a state behind it

> crypto can be traced

Anna's Archive exclusively uses Monero, which can't be by design


How does it insert itself between the agent and the mcp, does —from edit the mcp file to add itself as a mcp

It becomes the only MCP. All other MCPs are registered within the tool.

This has been hashed to death and back. The mcp allows a separation between the agent and the world, at its most basic not giving the agent your token or changing a http header , forcing a parameter.

Well yes you don’t need those things all the time and who knows if the inventor of mcp had this idea in mind but here we are


The separation is being oversold as if only MCP can do it, which is laughable. Any CLI can trivially do exactly what MCP do in terms of separation.


How ? Have you used these things when they are blocked and try to get around the block
