    MCP is more like a UI that is optimized for LLMs for interacting with a tool or data source. I'd argue that an API is not a user interface and that's not really their intention. > …

    That's because attention is all we need.

    I disagree. A neural network is not learning it's source code. The source code specifies the model structure and hyperparameters. Then it compiled and instantiated into some physic…

    Evolution is the heuristic search for effective neural architectures. It is training data, but for the meta-search for effective architectures, which gets encoded in our DNA. Then …

    Almost every PM I've worked with had an engineering degree and/or previously worked as an engineer. This "Josh" sounds like a strawman or you've had bad luck with PMs in the past. …

    Interesting final point. It's like the business equivalent of NP-Complete problems, difficult to compute but easy to verify. Can you give any examples of those types of problems yo…
