yeah like on one hand MCP is kinda cool and mostly works on the other hand, why did you issue 15 `READ(/the/exact/same/file)` in a row without generating a response?

Military planners want to believe a country that can't keep its own flagship afloat is doing far more technically complex, precise, and expensive maintenance.

USSR started shifted away from plutonium based weapons back to enriched uranium in the late 80s to minimize this cost but never fully transitioned.

enriched uranium is just worse. You need more of it & and it is more expensive to refine.

you need to re-cast & re-machine plutonium pits every 5-10 years. they build up tiny pockets of helium gas from alpha decay. makes them brittle and they shatter instead of imploding

It is kind of amazing. It'll vomit like 8k tokens into the most repetitive though process you ever seen even with a hatefully high frequency penalty.

Against Query Based Compilers Query based compilers are all the rage these days, so it feels only appropriate to chart some treacherous shoals in those waters.

> query based compilers are bad

yeah there are some trade offs to be sure

> here is how every language compiles & parses code, that is why Rust is bad

oh, okay?
