You're starting too recent though. MCP is attempting to recreate the good parts of REST APIs circa 25 years ago. Soap was a pain and a lot of people didn't like XML, but they solved exactly these problems. With MCP we're effe

I don't know how so many people miss the fact that MCP is another attempt at papering over the terrible idea of replacing RESTful APIs with JSON RPC.

by _heimdall 5d ago
The MCP use case is mainly another attempt at papering over the fact that effectively no API today is actually RESTful. We wouldn't need MCP at all if we still implemented REST APIs.

What you're describing, though, is that agents need a REST API. And I meant true REST rather than the JSON RPC APIs we've been building for 20+ years now. Had we not abandoned REST we'd still have APIs that are self documenti

And ironically, neither party uses the word in a way that matches definition. The DNC platform isn't particularly liberal, and is moving further from it as/if the DSA gets more of a footing. The RNC complains of "the liberals

On the same path and on the same point of the path are two very different things.

The CCP retains too much power over businesses and business leaders for me to consider them to "embrace entrepreneurship wholeheartedly."

Is your argument that AI isn't dangerous? Or simply that AI CEOs will lean into that when it benefits their stock portfolio?
9.
by _heimdall 13d ago
I agree the concept isn't really important on the safety front. I feel the same way about debates whether an AI can be conscious or sentient. Those debates devolve mostly into definitional disagreements.

Plenty of apes own revolvers, and yes we shoot stuff with them for fun.

Oh I completely agree the tests should be entirely air gapped. If you went back 5ish years and told anyone in AI research tests with models on this scale are being some without an airgap they'd be very surprised as it was common knowle

They aren't aligned, that's the problem and I don't think its a solvable one. They may have learned from humans, but they aren't aligned with us. That has all the usual questions like which humans they're aligned wi

Why assume that because you haven't seen a model or an agent that none of them do? No one I've met has murdered anyone as far as I'm aware, but that doesn't mean no one has murdered another person. I also don't know

That does sound simple, but how can you be so sure? They never bothered to find a way of actually understanding what happens during inference. All we can do is guess, and while your explanation seems reasonable we can't actually know,

Alignment isn't a solvable problem, the fact that guardrails are needed in the first place proves that.

The Surface Duo really was begging for Windows Phone software. They never should have bothered with the Duo after killing off their mobile OS.

How does this relate to Tailwind though? Tailwind does ultimately compile down to CSS. Anything you can do in Tailwind can be done in CSS.

It's inline styles, not online stylesheets. Though yes, inline styles are limited.

by _heimdall 16d ago
It was/is inline styles, not inline CSS. It isn't a stylesheet at all, just a single style property.

Why are your buttons `a` tags?!? Buttons should be `button` tags. Links should be `a` tags.

I don't see any reason the business model shouldn't exist, though yes their scale was a challenge IMO. Selling off the shelf, tested components and themes isn't a bad business. I'd firmly put it in the lifestyle business

This may be a difference in location or urban vs rural? I live in a more rural area and many people I've hired over the years own their equipment (well, if having a loan on it counts). That goes for tractors obviously, but similarly fo

I don't read that recommendation as prepping. If I were to start an earthworks business I likely would rent heavy equipment at first, but once I get the business going I'd likely begin to buy my own machines. That's not prepp

Oh we do agree there, control is more practical. I don't personally think alignment is even possible. The problem with control is that it will fail at scale. We can't control something that is actually smarter than us, if AI (LLMs

My argument isn't whethwr factionalism is a part of us. My argument is that different faction often, or even just sometimes, aren't aligned with each other. Alignment isn't inherent in the system. Sometimes groups are aligned

No, regulations help control they don't help align. I'm not sure what AI and heavy machinery have to do with each other, but I may just be missing a connection there.
