>Linear's MCP is also very clean and well designed, probably one of their core advantages over, say, Jira.

I was under the impression that Linear's MCP server code isn't public. How do you know that it's well-designed beyond following spec[1][2]?

They probably mean the tool APIs that the MCP server exposes are well designed. Definitely makes a big difference.

That's what we used in our product - a bug report tool that uses Linear MCP to create a task. Works great.

The least they could do, after ruthlessly bombarding my employer's servers with requests, ignoring the robots.txt, scraping everything, and incurring significant Google Maps costs for us in the process.

Have asked them to stop numerous times and they just keep hitting for about eight months now.

I have heard that this is called the Benjamin Franklin effect, and it appears to be an inversion of the principle of reciprocity coined by Robert Cialdini.

Reading this thread makes me wonder if I'm the only one who really tried to learn to juggle, only to fail even after a whole month of brute-forcing it, while my partner at the time, who started at my suggestion, managed it after 30 minutes! That was 15 years ago...

2 months of daily practice and counting. I feel that it should be very easy, so any day now

People say "Practice makes perfect" ... they're wrong.

Practice make permanent.

You need to practise the right thing, and that's where you will benefit from good quality feedback.

Learning on your own is hard.

I've been practicing not being able to juggle 3 balls my whole life. I'm trying to undo that

>It doesn't mean they are going to call up the draft.

Are you aware of the concept of "boiling the frog"?

2027: "It's just calling up the draft. It doesn't mean they are going to be sent to the frontline."

I was always curious about how Tay worked technically, since it was build before the Transformers era.

Was it based on a specific scientific paper or research?

The controversy surrounding it seemed to have polluted any search for a technical breakdown or a discussion, or the insights gained from it.

People have tried to suss this out on the ML subreddit, and it is confusing. Most of the worst messages from Tay were just people discovering a "repeat after me: __" function, so it's hard just to figure out which Tay messages to consider as responses of the model.

There seems to have been interest in a model which would pick up language and style of its conversations (not actually learning information or looking up facts). If you haven't trained an LSTM model before - you could train on Shakespeare's plays and get out ye olde English in a screenplay format, but from line to line there was no consistency in plot, characters, entrances and exits, etc. in a way which you'd expect after GPT-2. Twitter would be good for keeping a short-form conversation. So I believe Tay and the Watson that appeared on Jeopardy are more from this 'classical NLP' thinking and not proto-LLMs, if that makes sense.

Could you perhaps link a picture of that vehicle?

As searching for "luny cycle" doesn't bring up anything relevant.

However, there this, which looks like an interesting take on the unicycle concept:

Not double saddled, but a circus bike is pretty similar to what metalman was talking about.

I have tried a few times, but search is dead, there is a long established artists "colony" on the north mountain in NS, writers, theater, and the rest, but the luni, luny, loony ?,just tried again, SEARCH IS DEAD right, and it is too revolting to bother digging through the grasping,simpering, greed validation machine.

Paywalled article. Seeing that OP almost exclusively submits links to their own paywalled blog, I'm not sure if this doesn't fall under HN's "blogspam" rule.
