If you are assuming that your Hainan airlines flight has wifi that isn't behind the GFW, even outside of cattle class, I have some news for you...
Getting around the GFW is trivially easy.

I'm with you on the confusion, it makes no sense at all to call it a host. MCP host should host the MCP server (yes, I know - that is yet a separate term). The MCP standard seems a mess, e.g take this paragraph from here[1] > In the Streamable HTTP transport, the server operates as an independent process that can handle multiple client connections. Yes, obviously, that is what servers do. Also, what is "Streamable HT…
> But it does seem that it isn't written by engineers As far as I can tell, unsurprisingly, the MCP specification was written with the help of LLMs, and seemingly hasn't been carefully reviewed because as you say, a bunch of the terms have straight up wrong definitions.

care to elaborate? i have rtx 4070 12gb vram + 64gb ram, i wonder what models I can run with it. Anything useful?
LM Studio's model search is pretty good at showing what models will fit in your VRAM. For my 16gb of VRAM, those models do not include anything that's good at coding, even when I provide the API documents via PDF upload (another thing that LM Studio makes easy). So, not really, but LM Studio at least makes it easier to find that out.

Using LLMs is entirely fine, but poor review for a protocol definition is ..degenerate. Aren't protocols supposed to be precise?

I concur. I just upgraded from m1 air with 8gb to m4 with 24gb. Excited to run bigger models.
> m4 with 24gb Wow, that is probably analogous to 48GB on other systems then, if we were to ask an Apple VP?
Here is a nice article with some info about what memory compression is and how it works: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/os-x-10-9/#page-17
It's been a hard technical problem but is pretty much solved by now since its first debut in 2012-2013.

ya ya, just buy a VPN, pay the yearly subscription, and then have them disappear the week after you paid. Super trivially frustrating.
Alternatively, you could just set up your own (cheaper?) VPN relay on the tiniest VPS you can rent on AWS or IBM Cloud, right?
Just ordered a $12k mac studio w/ 512GB of integrated RAM. Can't wait for it to arrive and crank up LM Studio. It's literally the first install. I'm going to download it with safari. LM Studio is newish, and it's not a perfect interface yet, but it's fantastic at what it does which is bring local LLMs to the masses w/o them having to know much. There is another project that people should be aware of: https://github.c…

VPN providers are first and foremost trust businesses. Why would you choose and pay one that is not well established and trusted? Mine have been there for more than a decade by now.

If I can afford a seat above economy with room to actually, comfortably work on a laptop, I can afford the couple bucks for wifi for the flight.
Woah there Mr Money, slow down with these assumptions. A computer is worth the investment. But paying a cent extra to airlines? Unacceptable.
