why, what's wrong with it?

on the minecraft tips app, you are paying money for something that saves you time.

on this one, you are paying for the same thing here, unless you wanna reimplement it by your own.

and there are lots of avenues to have an edge, such as support for other framework / libraries, better / more efficient implementation, more configurability / control on possible variants.

please don't shoot down people on their attempts to make a living on their efforts.

RIP to the coolest pope.

May we live his consistent reminder of refraining from hurting and hating each other regardless of country, race, religion, politics, etc.

fair call but

1. unlike openai, google is already cashflow positive and doesnt need to raise any external funds

2. unlike openai, google already has the distribution figured out on both software and hardware

google is like an aircraft carrier that takes so fucking long to steer, but once done steering its entire armada will wipe you the fuck out (at least on the top 20% features for 80% use case)

anthropic already especialized for coding, openai seems to be steering towards intimacy, i guess they both got the memo that they need to specialize

mcp is best for stateful connections to thirtparty providers of data and actions.

shameless plug but im working on something where i give LLMs direct access to APIs without going through mcp.

initial demo is at uncomplexities.com.

fucking nay man

you have to learn to negotiate in 1 on 1s instead of taking your bad laundry in the public.

it ends up looking like group think and in that setup your value is dragged down to the average of everyone in it.

if you see any mcp installation with python or docker too, i believe it should work, as long as you have python or docker installed. docker will require WSL windows subsystem for linux so just google it and i hope your lappy supports it.

i have answered in separate comment that you can run mcp clients and servers in windows.

but if you really wanna polish your linux skills, go throw youeself in the swimming pool and learn to swim by downloading the latest ubuntu desktop iso and flashing it to a flash drive using balena etcher, then boot it from bios to install it to your laptop.

will it be hard? yes of course. will you learn a lot? absolutely. can you revert back to windows anytime? yes, just google for "github massgravel" and it will link you to windows / office installers (using their license activators is optional, wink wink).

build and run mcp?

bro you can use mcp clients and servers in windows.

for example if you are using claude desktop on windows, or cline/roo on vscode, or claudecode on terminal, those are all mcp clients.

claudecode for example is just javascript code from npm that can be run by nodejs which works on windows.

on mcp servers, most of them are written in javascript too. if you see anything with npx, it means its an executable compiled javascript code from npm, and your windows can run it as long as you have nodejs installed.

i think what you want is interfacing directly with api's instead of making the ai navigate pages, fill up forms, and click buttons.

do you think our product at uncomplexities.com is something you would use? what it does is it uses the apis of saas paas iaas services directly instead of going through the user interfaces.

disclaimer: im the founder, we'll have a better version coming out next week

Hey all, founder here. We are an applicant for the upcoming batch (YC X25).

Our first release supports the following services: GitHub, Cloudflare, Bunny, Supabase, Stripe, Box, Koyeb, Render, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and Linode.

So far I've tested it well with GitHub, Cloudflare, and DigitalOcean.

On GitHub, I was able to list my repositories, get summaries of what the project is about, even read files.

On Cloudflare, I was able to list my DNS zones and records, and even create dns records.

On DigitalOcean, I was able to create droplets through this.

What I'm trying to achieve here is for the user to be able to interact with multiple vendors in one go. Like it may be useful for provisioning stuff, or analyzing stuff, without the hassle of opening many tabs, logging-in, navigating pages, just to get things done.

The default model is claude sonnet 3.5, I'm spending all of our Anthropic credits here so new users can try it. Open for feedback and ideas, thank you.
