I think I see it now (not really the best representation of a woman).

she is lying on her stomach, with her hands in front of her, and above the head. Top right: feet Bottom left, hands

No, she is lying on her back and you have the sideview of her breasts. The cartographer didn't want to draw an elaborate woman, he just wanted to draw (side) boobs.

Interesting to see on page 2 the reference to ML pathways [1]. Looks like a multi layer mixture of experts. Is this common ?

Pathways, I understand, is more so these days just the name for their training orchestrator for doing distributed JAX stuff - https://github.com/google/pathways-job

Moderne Ai agent tool have have a setting where you can trimm down the numbers of tools from an MCP server. Usefull to avoid overwhelming the LLM with 80 tools description when you only need 1

I don't find that to help much at all, particularly because some tools really only make sense with a bunch of other tools and then your context is already polluted. It's surprisingly hard to do this right, unless you have a single tool MCP (eg: a code/eval based tool, or an inference based tool).

Don't you have a post about writing Python instead of using MCP? I can't see how MCP is more efficient than giving the LLM a bunch of function signatures and allow it to call them, but maybe I'm not familiar enough with MCP.

> Don't you have a post about writing Python instead of using MCP?

Yes, and that works really well. I also tried various attempts of letting agents to write code that exposes MCP tool calls via an in-language API. But it's just really, really hard to work with because MCP tools are generally not in the training set, but normal APIs are.

Yeah, I've always thought that your proposal was much better. I don't know why one of the big companies hasn't released something that standardised on tool-calling via code, hm.

Remote MCP with API key which has claims works well to reduce the tool count to only that of what you need.

I also have the high pitch noise issue on my Samsung galaxy buds 2 Pro

My thinkpad E14 gen5 intel + ubuntu 24.04 is my first ever laptop where sleep work exactly as intended. with ~1% battery waste per hour

find a meaningfull programming job. Here are quite a few on, but it's not the highest paying job.

Hi, I'm European, working in Europe My wife has a J1 visa To apply for a J2 visa, I need be present and stay in USA for all the duration of the application? no way to come back to Europe in the meantime? How long would the processing take?

The best solution is just to apply for a J-2 visa at a U.S. Consulate rather than applying for J-2 change of status in the U.S. and then once you reenter the U.S. on your J-2 visa you can apply for a work card and travel while your work card application is pending without impacting this application.

thanks!

same here, the one thing keeping me on chrome

Team ball sport are not everything. There is a lot of sport to try, hopefully you will find your fit. Some inspiration. for you : Climbing, hiking, weightlifting, slacklining, biking, paragliding, running

MNIST image classification is the "hello world" of NN, I recommend it

Thanks.
