Google likely won't rent compute from SpaceX, they have a substantial share of SpaceX (they own 5% of it) and need the IPO to be valued highly, so to prop up the IPO stock, they made this announcement, but if you read the fine print, b

I think there's likely many things even today, hidden papers, that discovered things, that no one has really decided to give it a shot and try, or figured out what can be done with it.

The thing is, what if there's an even better horse out there? Once you get on the cloning bandwagon, don't you also lock yourself out of looking/evolving an even better horse?

I don't think a democracy is necessarily a recipe for utmost economic success, it's more about having the ability to replace the leadership if they are failing the people. Without that, it's only a matter of time until you&#x

The thing about owning is that it messes up the incentives. If the government owns something, it will be tempting to intervene if it loses value. And when he government needs money, they often sell at stupid prices. I think taxing makes mor

The language barely matters, the issue is packaging, distribution, platform permissions, pushing updates, keeping client/server versions in sync, shell support, etc. Where-as if you just expose HTTP endpoints, all that doesn't mat

Agreed, not sure what people arguing against MCP are even arguing against. The only valid critique of MCP is that you think the RPC protocol isn't ideal, sure, you could argue about the protocol design, for example I wish there was bet

MCP is a JSON-RPC + a fixed auth/discovery handshake + a fixed tool schema protocol for backend endpoints. Your skills or CLIs still need to call a backend endpoint at some point. MCP is just a standard server JSON-RPC protocol. Having

The Philosophical Zombie thought process is dumb, because zombies don't exist, so the entire premise depends on something that quire frankly might be impossible for the very reason it is arguing against.

Won't you just end up with hundred of very specific scripts that can only do a very narrow thing? And now they'll all have their description and name in context.

I still didn't follow, you mean to pipe things between tool calls? Like if you want to query something and then update another without the intermediate getting brought in context?

I think if you deny a tool, it won't be loaded in context at all ever, even it's name and description won't be loaded.

Deferred cli/skill loading is also not part of CLIs or skills, it's all about how the coding agent/harness is implemented.

You do know MCPs are loaded on demand same as skills now right? The only place where sometimes it still uses too much context is if you have too many MCPs (same issue with skills) or some MCP is poorly designed and responds with huge descri

A CLI needs to work on windows, mac, linux, android, iOS, etc. And it still needs some backend APIs to call. So creating one is a lot more work than just making an MCP.

I don't think it's a condition that is being debated much, it seems to have been pretty well studied, though it doesn't seem we really understand how it works or why it happens. At least based on the Wikipedia page.

Interesting, but it confuses me a bit. Ambidextrous means: "that the person has no marked preference for the use of the right or left hand". Unlike what is normally assumed, it doesn't mean you've mastered both hands, it

A plugin is just a bundle of MCPs, skills and templated prompts. A skill cannot provide MCPs and can't provide custom template prompts, each skill is it's own slash command. A plugin you can define N number of custom slash command
