Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.
(he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

Fave Cursor workflow at the moment is get Claude to write feature implementation plans into a markdown document and update it as we go.
Breaks features down into phases with checklists, notes, relevant file lists. Essentially acts as read/write memory to prevent chat context from getting too long.

Too much noise over everything-AI makes it hard to genuinely evaluate MCP. Before I connect all my sensitive data, what are the security implications of MCP? What should I look out for? Beyond naturally querying my database, which is super cool, what are the killer use cases for devs?

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:
If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.
Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

Talked with a startup founder who is pretty sure an SWE applicant they almost hired could have been a NK state-sponsored actor.
Aced the interviews, but (in hindsight) used an AI filter. Last round interview focused on non-tech was too weird and they got suspicious.

WasmFS and the mimalloc feature in Emscripten can help a lot with allocation and I/O performance. This guide shows how these features can lead to speed improvements of 10 times or more in some cases.
