There is no reason you couldn't design the system to hand off to a simple protocol through an MCP call, it's entirely up to what works in the specific situation. There is nothing in the design that mandates a path through the LLM

Final end state where it eats itself? Who buys all that soup when the workers have no jobs and no money? How much soup can one human CEO drink? (And why isn't the CEO also replaced by the AI?)

My understanding is a huge issue with blood donation is expiry, and therefore the need for consistent year-round donation - when a disaster occurs there's often a spike in donations but the surplus gets thrown away. A mechanism that ca

Would this be solved by providing the client with a (frequently rotated) public key to encrypt the password field specifically before submitting to the server, so that the only place it can be decrypted and stored is the authentication serv

Ok, so what tools are less work to create a reproducible build than using docker carefully?
67.
by taberiand 1y ago
Presumably if your goal is a reproducible build you just wouldn't do any unconstrained downloading in the process of designing the dockerfile and building the image. Making a choice to use a tool poorly for you requirements isn't

by taberiand 1y ago
Well sure, making a 100% reproducible build is hard - but Docker makes it easier, not harder. If 100% reproducible is the goal, what's easier than docker?

I don't think there's much trouble at all fixing the toy example by extending the message type to allow communication of the additional conditions, and I think my changes are better than the alternative of using a mutex. Have I ov

And all throughout this engineering is saying "this is stupid, the app shouldn't know or care about those systems directly, it should offload the messages to some other service to handle" and yet management says "no time

Is there an MCP for pokemon red?
74.
by taberiand 2y ago
I think MCPs compensate for the unreliability issue by providing a minimal and well defined interface to a controlled set of actions. That way, the llm doesn't have to be as reliable thinking what it needs to do and in acting, just in

Right, but they are also weaponising the lack of limitations - advertising is out of control and damaging society. Damned if you do, damned if you don't?

I'm talking about highway driving. At traffic lights the behaviour I see is people stacking up in one lane when there's a zipper merge across the intersection - I don't get this either, but it's good for me because there

There's a certain satisfaction in anticipating these stop and go waves while driving, and timing it so that you catch the tail just as it starts moving again - the goal being to use the brake as little as possible and ideally only need

Oh you're right, I misread. That's much worse for those 4 people but still not too bad (so far)

by taberiand 2y ago
I suppose it depends if it's worse than reported currently, but it seems to me that with only 600 accounts losing an average of ~$800 each (and I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the users had poor password security), the fa

Won't it throw the same "FileNotFound" exception in that case? The issue being bothering to check if it exists in the first place I suppose.

I have been saying this about llms for a while - if you know what you want, how to ask for it, and what the correct output will look like, LLMs are fantastic (at least Claude Sonnet is). And I mean that seriously, they are a highly effectiv

Sounds like Tim's in a position where he knows he's appreciated by his team and enjoys his work, and is more than skilled enough to jump ship the second upper management decides to upend that. He has no reason to play the silly me

I don't quite understand people's problem with LinkedIn - for me it has only one real page, my profile, and two other areas: recruiter chat and people I might know personally to link to. I got a job via recruiter chat on it once,

Ok but Celsius works wherever you are (adjusting for pressure)

Fahrenheit doesn't match the 1-100 scale, though - Celsius does. 0 water freezes, 100 water boils.

I agree; in my experience, pretty much everything is ETL. We take data from one thing, change it a bit, and put it somewhere else. Sometimes, as a treat, we take data from two things, put them together, and then put that somewhere else. Fro

Oh sure, the flip side of doing what was asked is doing what is known - choosing a solution based on familiarity rather than applicability. Also a common trait in juniors in my experience
