llm tool call -> mcp client validates the schema -> mcp client calls the tool -> mcp server validates the schema -> mcp server responds with the result -> mcp client passes the tool result into llm

not a developer.

what happens if this schema validation fails here - what will the mcp server respond with and what will the llm do next (in a deterministic sense)?

Heh, low comments on C++ posts now. A sign of the times. My two cents anyway.

I've been using C++ for a decade. Of all the warts, they all pale in comparison to the default initialization behavior. After seeing thousands of bugs, the worst have essentially been caused by cascading surprises from initialization UB from newbies. The easiest, simplest fix is simply to default initialize with a value. That's what everyone expects anyway. Use Python mentality here. Make UB initialization an EXPLICIT choice with a keyword. If you want garbage in your variable and you think that's okay for a tiny performance improvement, then you should have to say it with a keyword. Don't just leave it up to some tiny invisible visual detail no one looks at when they skim code (the missing parens). It really is that easy for the language designers. When thinking about backward compatibility... keep in mind that the old code was arguably already broken. There's not a good reason to keep letting it compile. Add a flag for --unsafe-initialization-i-cause-trouble if you really want to keep it.

C++, I still love you. We're still friends.

stupid question as I have not tpuched C++ since the 90s - can the IDEs not do this with all these now almost universal linters and AI assists. Maybe something that prompts before a commit and autoprompts before/after fixes to only the inititaization. Maybe simple as a choice in the refactoring menu? Rust - where are you for proposing this fix to C++ or, is it javascript?

this is the storyline that people should ideally internalize and realize that they do not know what they are talking about when commenting on others without having direct experience

Should everything be tied to income/wealth? Taxes and college tuition are already tied to income/wealth. Why not food, housing, travel, clothes, healthcare, even drinking water? At that point wealth will stop to have any meaning.
redandblack · 8 months ago
Yes - if we financialize all public services, then it makes sense to use income/wealth to subsidize (re-distribute to be more precise) the poor.

I remember reading a few weeks back that UK is getting the railroads back to public ownership - not sure if that is true, but would like to hear from UK readers on the impact of financialization (aka privatizing) of public utilities.

I am not a fan of public ownership - but a supported of public subsidies for utilities - transport / electricity / heat / water and in this case roads

this is totally true - subsidizing the rich by the poor

I always thought congestion pricing was always mis-priced, and it should be tied to income/wealth.

The only way to do this is to let the poor apply and get free electronic tokens and get that missing 43k back.

fyi - my MD can easily manage a 10x the mid-town tolls

Neat. Now release 48gb GPUs to the hobbyist devs and we’ll use intel for LLMs!

Apple is your savior if you are looking at it as a CPU/GPU/NPU package for consumer/hobbyists.

I decided that I have to start looking at Apple's AI docs

> Worldwide, the United States is home to more international migrants than any other country, and more than the next four countries—Germany, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the United Kingdom—combined

That's a somewhat misleading way of presenting data.

It is true that in absolute terms, the US contains more immigrants than any other country on earth.

However, on a percentage of the population basis, the US is actually only around the OECD average in terms of numbers of immigrants: https://www.oecd.org/en/data/indicators/foreign-born-populat... – in 2019, Luxembourg was 47.30% foreign-born, Australia 29.90%, Switzerland 29.70%, Israel 21.20%, Sweden 19.50%. At 13.60%, the US was around the middle.

The fact that the US comes first in absolute terms, is not because the US is unusually welcoming to immigrants, it is because (among developed countries) it is unusually populous – at 333 million people, it is over 2.5 times more populous than the 2nd most populous OECD member (Japan).

US can take in easily another 20-30 million immigrants over say 5-10 years - the question is always how to assimilate when there is already a distinct lack of affordable housing / schools / medical infra. There is literally no public investments in this.

That said the IRA act is poring money into manufacturing which is having direct effects in those states, but require a hard look at easing infra development,

If only Green Card processing was as efficient.

It is limited right? I assume the quotas are done by October / early November I assume.

Australia, on both sides of the house, also understands the importance of Immigration.

However we just neglected to build anywhere for them to live...

We are in a cost-of-living crisis, a per-capita recession.

One of the reasons we are not in a full-blown recessions is the wealth that immigrants brought with them!

Building firms are going under, and we gutted the trade schools years ago. So the housing crisis isn't going to resolve anytime soon...

redandblack · a year ago
I never understood that lack of understanding by politicians on what people need - totally understandable in US where corporate lobbyists rule congress. Australia, Canada governance are mysteries to me.

On the residential homes - i assume it not a question of land/resources.
