MCP is fine if your tool definition is small. If it's something like a sub-agent harness which is used very often, then in fact it's probably more context efficient because the tools are already loaded in context and the model doesn't have to spend a few turns deciding to load the skill, thinking about it and then invoking another tool/script to invoke the subagent.
They're talking about "skills" which are not the same thing as tools. Most models haven't been trained on the open SKILL spec, and therefore aren't tuned to invoke them reliable when the need occurs.
Most people in California don’t have PG&E. Most of the land area in the northern 2/3 of the State or so is covered by PG&E, but people and land area aren't the same thing. Southern California Edison alone serves almost as many people as PG&E, and other smaller utilities, including public utilities like LADWP, SMUD, Silicon Valley Power, etc., serve another big chunk of the population.
SCE will screw you nearly as hard. We are on a tiered usage which is the cheapest they offer and it's $0.32/kWh and even at that rate the EV isn't much cheaper than the non-hybrid I replaced. I'd need to switch to a ToU plan which would increase my other electricity costs.
Also for depreciation:
2020 Mazda 3 - sold $18k at dealer, originally $28k, 64% retained
2022 Kia EV6 - bought $25k, originally $55k-$7.5k federal, 53% retained
$30 / hr + federal payroll taxes is 5,700 / month ($30 / hr x 40 hrs/week x 4.33 weeks in month x 1.1 for federal payroll taxes). Who has this kind of money on top of mortgage, car payments, food, utilities, etc...? In my circle of friends only one family affords this (the dad is a Director at Meta)
The trick is that au pairs are nowhere close to that expensive. (Though the US becoming radically less attractive of a place for foreigners to live and work may be changing the availability of that option.)
That kind of damage takes many years. Do you have scans from prior years? I also discovered I have arthritis in the ankle recently and there were no pain symptoms, only joint instability and issues higher up on the leg. This was probably caused by either genetics or ankle trauma from childhood that eventually reared its head in my 30s.
My last x-ray in 11/2022 was perfect. Good joint spacing and no degenerative changes. That's over 3 years ago now though.
One thing I think changed for me was that I switched to WFH full-time and wearing crocs all day. My arches subsequently collapsed. I have joint stiffness now as well, but the x-ray didn't show anything so I think it's perhaps sinus tarsi pain from the compression due to over-pronation.
The level of discourse I've seen on HN about this topic is really disappointing. People not reading the actual article in detail, just jumping to conclusions "it basically copied gcc" etc etc. Taking things out of context, or worse completely misrepresenting what the author of the article was trying to communicate.
We act so superior to LLMs but I'm very unimpressed with humanity at this stage.

And you originally asked how someone knew that they weren't just spitting out gcc. So you reject their statement that it's not like gcc at all with your "you didn't look at the code at all". When its clear that you haven't looked at it.
