Daily short news for you

Summarizing the content of last week

This week, the author explored numerous new tools and technologies, starting with the WebRTC-based file sharing tool called filepizza, which enables direct file sharing between machines without the need for an intermediate server. Additionally, the AI tool Manus caught attention with its automation and workflow improvement capabilities, although it requires a referral code for access.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is also emerging as a new trend in the tech community, allowing large language models to interact directly with databases without complex programming. Furthermore, the website uiverse.io offers a range of user interface design options using HTML and CSS, which is particularly useful for those building websites.

The SpacetimeDB project allows for writing logic directly in the database, creating a seamless integration between the database and API. Lastly, the author is writing a short story and finds the novel "The Fountainhead" to be emotionally impactful.

Since the feature to suggest search phrases appeared below the search bar, many people have been clicking on it, everyone. The search volume for other phrases has also increased many times compared to before.

However, alongside that, the blog is now facing an issue with search "spam." There is someone mischievously filling in random links into the box, which wouldn't be a big deal if I hadn't added AI to that search box; each query costs a certain amount of tokens. It's truly destructive 💀

Now it's time for the MCP race. Everyone is racing to launch MCP servers for their services. It's only logical because no one wants to be left behind 😅.

Recently, there is mcp-server-cloudflare and @hyperdrive-eng/mcp-nodejs-debugger.

I'm creating a spell-checking tool for the articles I'm writing. The idea is to break the sentences down into meaningful words and then compare them with the Vietnamese dictionary. Additionally, if a word is not in the dictionary, I add it to my own personal dictionary.

It's coming along well, though there's still a lot of fixing to do, but basically, it can identify misspelled words. It's quite scary, actually, because there are words I've misspelled that I thought were correct 🫣

Xịn thế! Anh cũng định viết 1 cái tool để "dịch" mấy cái nói lái kiểu: Tích xuân chiêu giá sáo vị thu Thẩm du tai tế lóng trong sường Anh hùng bên sông đương tự sáng Thiếu nữ trên cầu mụ lông dưng

mà cũng bận bịu quá chả động được tí nào =))

p/s: Mấy cái thread này em cho thêm reaction đi, nhiều khi vào đọc mà không kịp comment thì vẫn có chỗ để tương tác, tác giả còn biết là vẫn có người quan tâm chứ 🤣

Okie để e chế thêm mấy cái react, đợt trước làm nhanh với làm vội để kiểm tra hiệu quả mà thấy cũng ra gì phết. Chuẩn bị nghiêm túc phát triển thêm.

Previously, I shared a cross-platform file sharing tool based on WebRTC. Now there’s another tool that also shares files, also based on WebRTC but shares peer-to-peer. This means files don’t need to be uploaded to an intermediary server and can be transferred directly from one machine to another: kern/filepizza.

I’ve tried it out and the speed is quite fast. Since it’s open source, you can completely set it up to make sharing more private 🔥

Surely everyone has heard a lot about the AI tool called Manus, right? This is a powerful and versatile AI agent designed to automate tasks, enhance productivity, and streamline decision-making. Manus is not accessible to everyone; it requires an invitation code from someone else.

However, you can see how Manus operates and what it can be applied to at the Use case gallery. Go in to see what a professional processing workflow of an AI agent looks like 🤓

Lately, have you guys been browsing the internet and seen the keyword MCP trending, what is it anyway?

MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a data connection standard proposed by Anthropic. I first learned about this name from the very beginning, and now it has been recognized and widely used, which is why we hear so much about it.

People often imagine that large language models (LLMs) are very smart, but they don't know how to retrieve data from sources you have. For example, if you have a SQL database and want to feed it into an LLM for processing, how do you do that? It's simple, just write code to extract the data and give it to the model. Or, plug in MCP to let it explore on its own and gather whatever it needs. Wow! What a fantastic idea, right?

By chance, I came across this website that offers quite a few options for buttons, text input fields, and sliders... in HTML & CSS. It's perfect for those who are designing their own website or looking for reference sources for their new components: uiverse.io 🥳

I accidentally came across this interesting project SpacetimeDB. This is a database that allows you to write logic to interact with the data right here. It's like deploying an API server directly within the database. Sounds confusing, right?

Normally, what we usually do is set up a database server, set up an API server, and then write logic in the API to interact with, add, modify, or delete data through a supporting driver. But SpacetimeDB allows you to write logic right in the database. Still sounds a bit off, doesn’t it?

Actually, it’s not that hard to understand; you can think of the API server and the Database server as one. So what benefits does this bring? The processing logic resides entirely on the server, and the client just needs to call it, which can potentially reduce fragmentation or errors on the client side, or across different platforms.

Finally, the Zed editor has integrated Git functionality - something I have always wondered why they didn't do. Now you can interact with your git repositories through the interface of this editor.

There's just one more thing I'm hoping for: please add Deno, specifically Fresh 🙏
