From the spec:

https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/ser...

“ For trust & safety and security, there SHOULD always be a human in the loop with the ability to deny tool invocations.

Applications SHOULD:

Provide UI that makes clear which tools are being exposed to the AI model Insert clear visual indicators when tools are invoked Present confirmation prompts to the user for operations, to ensure a human is in the loop”

keep in mind that we have "vibe coding" now, where the goal is exactly to _not_ have a human in the loop (at least not constantly).

Sort of! My impression is that LISP is a little more powerful than what we're building up in the article. I wanted to focus on a few specific aspects (like first-class cross-environment imports and serializing continuations) but I'd ofc expect all of that to be expressible in LISP.

It's fun to theorize about an alternate universe where JavaScript has a LISP-like syntax (Brendan Eich originally wanted "Scheme in the browser"[1], so this isn't so far-fetched!). Indeed, `interpret` sounds like a LISP macro that can "partially evaluate" code (so someone else, ie. the browser can continue to evaluate it).

It seems like that the author by using JSX to express code directly as an AST re-invented LISP? See Greenspun's tenth rule[1].

The cynic in me wonders if this isn’t part of a plan to create a legal precedent banning AI from handling legal disputes.

Think about it: the legal profession is possibly one of the most threatened by the development of AI models. What better way to secure the professional future of the long tail of lawyers and paralegals?

How can you ban AI? It's literally designed to produce text that's indistinguishable from text that was produced by a living human being.

It's sad to see that Web Crypto[1] does not support Ed25519 (yet), only RSA and ECDSA for asymmetric signatures.

Because of the company VPN, I usually teleport to Israel, and I have absolutely no idea how to change the language on a right-to-left layout with a Hebrew alphabet...

Slightly related question: is there a plug-in that can color my code based in scope instead of syntax?
lennoff commented on Nuitka: An extremely compatible Python compiler   nuitka.net/... · Posted by u/BiteCode_dev

Tangentially related question: could Nuitka target WebAssembly, given that according to their overview page, they translate Python into C? Usually when it comes to Python -> WebAssembly, the biggest problem is the lack of GC in the WebAssembly spec (as far as I understand), and I'm wondering if this would be an issue for Nuitka as well...

I think the key takeaway is to never believe when someone says "Don't worry, you'll get promoted in no time".
