>now it feels like Sol

It can very well be Sol, no? What stops them from using cheaper model for some requests during "rush" hours or simply use cheaper model for every Nth request.

>What stops them <..> simply use cheaper model for every Nth request.

That would trigger a full prefill (context recompute) every Nth request because cached tokens aren't interchangeable between models, and that would require way more compute than just staying on Astra.

To avoid full recompute, you could prefill a cheaper model's context incrementally by always feeding it Astra's outputs in the background (and vice versa), but then that would require 1.5-2 more VRAM for each session + the complexity of keeping them in sync.

If the rumors are true that Astra is a looped transformer, a more practical approach would be to dynamically adjust the loop count during peak hours.

>I go from woman to mother. And with it comes judgement and duties, and goes freedom and care-free living.

Agree on judgement, but duties and freedom and care-free living?

Sorry, both are gone for fathers too. At least those who care (talking as a father here).

Sure, a woman has even less freedom for a few years after a child is born. And a caring partner will try to at least ease this period for a woman.

But rest of a time? It's pretty 50/50 in my experience. My wife (also a backend dev like myself) has her career and her free time, in our family we share cleaning duties and all the cooking is on me (both because I'm better at it and it's less of a burden for me).

I'd like to eliminate judgement (and event more often self-judgement) she sometime faces, but for now I have no solution to present.

Bottom line: it's a fantasy to thing that a responsible father just carries on with whatever life he had before the kid was born and just occasionally fetches one from school to have a few word on the go.

My company (I'm not part of the team that's responsible for anything AI related) has MCP's for Jira, Confluence, Mattermost fork and a few other integrations.

I have no idea about MCP vs API question but I always assumed that the whole point of MCP was an abstration between the model and the tool\service.

As in model does not have to know about a certain API (not to mention a particular version of it) to work with a service.

Maybe I misundersdtand your question, but I was under the impression that we more or less know about

>why parrots are not going to parrot work to earn parrot money

and to a certain degree about communication and society.

We know and understand how different species organise their life in many various ways.

Care to share with a fellow learner? :)

i published it to github today, its still very alpha but it does the job https://github.com/enimatek-nl/shuoshuo

People over the Atlantic just have a better concept of social gathering as opposed to neediness of being served and staffed with food.

People come to a place to have fun and talk for a few hours or their free time. Drinks and food coming and going is just a small nuance. 10 minutes (often way less of course) for drinks to arrive is mostly okay. Nobody is busy waiting for them.

From the restaurant owner's perspective there is no benefit of slow or bad service. That means guests are taking up room without spending money. It makes much better sense to be speedy in giving your guests attention and service, as this gives you more sales, more margin for error, and most importantly much happier guests. They can still focus on the socializing and being merry.

Nobody is talking about bad or slow service.

It's just there is a difference between "slow service" and, you know, taking needed time.

Sure, some times it can be slow, at any place or country. But the thing described in the parent comment is just either a hyperbolization (my bet) or some unfortunate coincidence.

There are plenty of comments about bad and slow service here, and who of us haven't experienced that many times in real life? In all kinds of places.

Different concept, not objectively better.

In America, waiting for staff to serve you is considered time lost. In Europe it's called European culture.

But you are not waiting. You are talking to your friends or family.

I disagree and many trivial numbers are telling the story here, but I'm not going to argue.

Nor should you argue a subjective point as though it’s objective. But if you’re passionate about the subject you should write a blog post or something.

Or to put it differently: some people can easily ignore things others can not.

More like some people simply don't notice. Or don't care to.

I sometimes wonder what would happen if the population's average IQ was (the current equivalent of) 130 instead of 100.

Would things be better? Worse in more complex ways? Both?

Well. Life needs diversity.

Higher IQ may give you more freedoms but also take some away. You can see what others can not, do things others can not, but at the same time you can get depression over something that won't affect someone else.

Not to mention we need people who's okay with doing simple hard jobs just as much as we need writers, doctors etc.

A nice quote from The Big Bang Theory:

Penny: Leonard, you are so great. Why can't all guys be like you?

Leonard: Because if all guys were like me, the human race couldn't survive.

Terminated from the outside? No. The only way is to have a communication channel or a context that can be canceled and a proper handling of these.

idk, hn is the only place I every see people actually not liking go and most times those are people who's job is just far away from fields go is being use in.
