Introducing the Knowledge Base MCP. Greptile maintains a detailed knowledge base of how every part of your codebase works, as well as a history of past incidents. Starting today coding agents like Codex, Claude can access the Knowledge Base via Greptile's MCP, so they can use Greptile's learnings to write better code.

I turned the fly bisexual Inspired by Kallman et al ('15), I blocked mAL output in a 166,606-neuron fly model and measured responses in 8 candidate P1 male courtship neurons. In 3 experiments, when cued by other males, baseline P1 spikes rose from 0 to 1–5 after mAL blockade

Idk why building simulations and 3d renders are being treated as the harbingers of AGI. I agree that it is impressive, but it’s not clear to me that AGI could use this skill to take over.

I don’t understand how the same guy who taught me about the anthropomorphism fallacy is getting nerdsniped by the most glaring implementation of that fallacy that I’ve ever seen.
