For all the hype around this tech, I can't believe how user-unfriendly this is.
I'll say it: MPC is immature trash, and will be replaced with... nothing. It is not needed, nor necessary if one has any functional engineering experience. It's yet another poorly considered distraction created by the software industry that cannot tie it's own shoes.
> It is not needed, nor necessary if one has any functional engineering experience There indeed are people without functional engineering experience. I wrote some software meant to be used by journalists. MCP is a great fit for it, it allows the tool to be expanded and adapted to their needs without having to code the whole thing themselves.

DeepSeek is a perfectly knowledgeable English speaker in China.

I always thought there might be a market for this kind of service. Maybe it would be hard to build trust though. If they don’t trust your language and copy creating abilities, no one will pay for your English skills. And how are they supposed to assess your abilities when the problem they are facing is that they don’t have good command of English in the first place?

Are you a native English speaker? "does NOT constrain user's rate limit" should be "does NOT rate limit incoming requests" or similar. "We will try out best" should be "our best". "when our servers are under high traffic pressure" is at least grammatical, but it's awkward. Normally you'd say "when our servers are dealing with high load" or something similar. "your requests may take some time to receive a response fro…
> "Our response times may be slower" would be more natural. How can the time be slower? Response times may be longer, but not slower
Earlier quoted context omitted.
In colloquial English my construction is just fine, but sure, you'd be welcome to pick longer too. Some examples of my usage in the wild ("response times may be slower" is present verbatim on each page): https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy/discussions/8133 https://www.ameristarstaffingny.com/the-negative-effects-of-... https://oci.wi.gov/Pages/Regulation/Bulletin20200320Regulato... https://playrix.helpshift.com/hc/…
This sentence is a good example where the native speaker's version is worse (in this case because it's just non-sense, as the parent commenter already pointed out).
And in English, the word “worse” requires a comparative compliment . Worse than what? Maybe you meant worse than a non-native speaker, but because you didn’t say it, your sentence sounds off.
In English time can have lots of lengths. Any number of English novels have the phrase “a long minute”. People talk about time passing slowly or quickly. We say things like “The last 15 minutes took hours!” Or “Today went by so fast.”
Just because the word “sunrise” is nonsense scientifically doesn’t mean it’s not understood and correct to use in English.
Hey, I am one of the MCP authors. We appreciate the criticism and take it very seriously. We know things are not perfect and there is lots of room for improvement. We are trying to balance the needs of the fast paced AI world, and the careful, time consuming needs of writing a spec. We’d love to improve the spec and the language, and would of course appreciate help here. We also work with an increasingly larger commu…
AI post

Yeah it's unreadable for me. There's been a trend to post LLM slop about tech subjects and they anger me - I don't know why someone wanted to waste people's time like that. Even worse - I've come across an AI slop site that masquerades as dev information, with just plain wrong information.
I let the domain "micropolisonline.com" expire, which I was using for the old OpenLaszlo/Flash Python/SWIG/C++ client/server based version of open source SimCity, and somebody took it over and replaced it with AI generated claptrap, stealing a lot of my own and other's images without any credit. It even promises the source code, but doesn't actually link to it, just has promises and placeholders. It totally misrepres…

Ok so MPC is just a way for non devs to be able to make calls. Us devs need not apply.
