It's a tree design, once data is pulled it can remove the context of the code it wrote to pull some fancy data. Better yet the more advanced ones can re-add something old to the context to and drop it back out again if it needs to.
I commonly ask Cursor to connect to postgres or whatever and help me do analysis. It creates code and pulls data. I don't understand why I would go through the bother of installing a bunch of MCP tools to connect to databases and configure web services and connection strings.
Most people in this entire discussion don't really even understand the analytic queries are and think ES was for full text search. Picard Hand Over Face
I've always generally used some other data source and ran a spark job to populate elastic. For live data, just have a database trigger through a message queue populate ES.
Yeah, if you need food stamps its because you will die if you don't eat. If you want candy you can get a job and buy candy and soda. But I suspect barely anyone on food stamps that REALLY NEEDS FOOD is buying candy.
It's just that they're only seeing money to build and a place to make excuses on being late.
If you hire your own people you can make them feel how well the business is doing and get features out the door tomorrow and build to the larger thing over time.
Legally risky research, but if it has high enough rewards will eventually end up in the hands of extremely large companies that have the legal backing to do anything they want.
Please don't hound people like this on HN. It's not acceptable to say “I remember you doing exactly that in many, many threads before” and “you're always trying to protect unsavory characters”. It's hyperbolic and unfalsifiable, and not the kind of discourse that HN is intended for. Commenters have the right to have their comments evaluated as they are in the thread, and not coloured by wild allegations of conduct in unspecified historical threads.
The purpose of HN is to gratify intellectual curiosity. Plenty of users are doing a good job of discussing this difficult topic curiously. We want this to be a site where difficult topics can be discussed, and that can only happen if people are committed to curious conversation rather than ideological battle.
If you want to participate on HN, we need you, like everyone, to respect the guidelines, no matter how difficult and activating the topic is.
These lines from the guidelines are particularly relevant here:
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
