Thanks, that's helpful. I agree there are many other sources REST APIs where this would be helpful. Outside of that I would be interested in understanding the ways where Arazzo takes a broader approach and doesn't really fit an LLM use case.

I think MCP being stateful is true in the short term. It's currently at the top of their roadmap to add to the protocol https://modelcontextprotocol.io/development/roadmap.

In what ways is the agents.json file different from an OpenAPI Arazzo specification? Is it more native for LLM use? Looking at the example, I'm seeing similar concepts between them.

I want to pay for their product, but not enough that I have to ask my lawyer about the language. I did see that one of the features of the enterprise plan is custom terms, but that's not the plan I'm interested in.

First place I usually go is the terms of service and what they are granting themselves rights to. Not excited about how broad this is "3.2 License: By using the Services, you hereby grant to Cognition, its affiliates, successors, and assigns a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, transferable license to reproduce, distribute, modify, and otherwise use, display, and perform all acts with respect to the Customer Data as may be necessary for Cognition to provide the Services to you."

I was looking into this for identifying other animals. iNaturalist has a community that adds observations and identifies species. They have an API as well as a dataset for research https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/developers

Other CRM tools I've used will allow you to create groups/categories of contacts and set the recurrence to contact people in that group. You could similarly rate the group instead of individuals. Then the user could re-evaluate based on the group (friends, colleague, family, etc)

And as with any mental model there are potential pitfalls such as when you tell yourself your willpower has been depleted. You then have an excuse to slack off http://www.nirandfar.com/2016/11/the-way-you-think-about-wil.... I agree it's hard to make the right choice when your tired, but the way you think about it will also affect your behavior.

Calories not absorbed has also made me think about diets like the raw food diet. Eating raw uncooked vegetables is going to reduce the calories you absorb while taking up more volume in your stomach.

Based on all of the responses to this comment I can see how someone would be completely confused on what they need to do to lose weight.

While admitting the rest of this thread is bonkers, I'll explicitly list the formula you should follow right now (science is always evolving): Change in Body Stores = (Actual Calories In - Calories Not Absorbed) - (Resting Metabolic Rate + Thermic Effect of Eating + Physical Activity + Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis)

This is the more nuanced formula of calories in, calories out. Changing one variable in that equation can have an effect on the rest of the equation, which is why it appears calories is not equal to calories out. You can read about each variable here: http://www.precisionnutrition.com/metabolic-damage.

I should note that this program is published in scientific journals: http://www.invent-journal.com/article/S2214-7829(16)30006-9/... http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11764-016-0582-z http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/osp4.98/abstract

On top of that I just tried to sign up for an account. I don't want to connect Google or Facebook so I tried to use their registration. It wasn't possible to do in Chrome. I decided try the nytimes.com homepage and I could probably sign up there but the registration is over an insecure http page.

I switched to Safari and was able to create an account. Went back to Chrome and still couldn't login. Not worth it.

The part about calling you up when it was clear you wanted to give them your info was what really concerned me. It's an easy way to scare your customers away.

As he said, the creep factor was high. If you were to do something like that it should be clear that your information is being captured or give you the ability to opt out right next to your phone number. That would still be a LinkedIn like deceitful UX experience but slightly better.

I purchased a bluetooth receiver for my car last year since I already had a headphone size cord to plugin to my phone. The same thing could be used for your now obsolete headphones. Although all I could find was the refurbished version. https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Bluetooth-NFC-Enabled-Certif...

Now you just have to carry your phone plus a bluetooth receiver to plug into!

I'd say this article accurately describes my organizing. I'll start a todo list in Evernote when I get too many tasks. I'll knock of the highest priorities and the rest get forgotten because they weren't "really" important. After a week or two I create another todo list when new "high priority" items come up.

If no one is asking for something to be done, it wasn't really that important in the first place. I have hundreds of todo lists that are unfinished and I'll never do them. But, if someone does ask me for that a year later it just goes on the new todo list.

Let's all agree to be happy instead of angry. You can only control your own actions and emotions. Be grateful what you have instead of focusing on what you don't.

She may need to pivot into the Plated for Lemonade Stands. Just send the chef prepared ingredients (meyer lemon, rare plant sugar and The Timmy Brothers water) and a step by step recipe to make the lemonade at home. She could then sell services on top of that to have a local independent rep prepare the lemonade for you.

This was the site I was actually looking for as great examples of correlation http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

One point that hasn't been addressed so far is how misleading this study is. It's looking at death rates related to prescription painkiller deaths doing a time-series analysis 1999-2010 and then correlating results to states that made medical marijuana legal over that time period. It doesn't say how they eliminated any other number of causes during that period. This is merely showing correlation not causation.

As an example people who have more sex make the most money. While we would all like that to be true there's no science proving causation http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/roots-of-unity/sex-makes...

Most of the examples given in the comments here are anecdotal. Not that I disagree with the overall tone, but this is not the study to hold up and say "This is why we should legalize"

This article is very depressing news. But, as technologists we are used to dealing with a new reality and change. I think many people will use this as an excuse to give up. It really means more than ever we should get outside or into the gym. Speaking of which I feel like I should go for a walk and get some fresh air.
