When i read the first few words of your message i thought you were going to say that the model naming is just as bad as the coffee cup size naming.

My guess is its the employees distinctive style. They must be using some internal data in their post training

What’s the latest on better ecg tech? Can’t an Apple Watch basically do it but they can’t call it that because it’s not approved.

What does that have to do anything. The recommendation is to do a blood panel every year I don’t see anything worse about adding ecg to that

Huh? I get a blood panel every year and 90% of the things it looks for are normal year after year. But there is always 1 or 2 things flagged that I need to pay attention to.

An ECG if it was just part of the normal yearly panel of things that get looked at I don't think ppl will stop doing it just because it doesn't find something right away

The user experience for a rest api and for mcp can be the same. For MCP, you have to give the mcp server url. For REST, you could provide a url to the openapi spec. The open API spec has everything you'd need - oauth url + all the endpoints and params.

Most chat products will just have a directory of connectors anyways - so for non technical folks they won't even here the term MCP or REST, they'll just "Install the Gmail plugin".

I think we should let autonomous, shared EVs use bus lanes (just like how some cities let taxis use them). They are just so good for society.

There is a limit on how many they are allowed to operate.

Just scale your small bus further down and you get a cybercab/waymo. It gets full easily but its routes are fully customizable and you never have to change lines and it runs at all hours with no wait. Ohh and its actually way cheaper to run per passenger mile. IMO shared, electric, autonomous AVs are the best solution for mass transit for 90% of the routes

ok sorry - can you explain more why it'd be a game changer to stream the tool call. Whats an example tool call that this would help with. Most of the time the tools I want called are at the end of the conversation (i.e. "summarize what we talked about and email it to me"). Or if its in the middle of the conversation, we can just carry on the conversation while the tool call is happenning in parallel..

honestly its not that big of a deal, being able to call tools is the high order bit

Not a sound argument because you would have said the same thing before they did Starlink. "The TAM for launch services is finite. There are only so many countries/companies that want to launch satellites."

that doesn't, on its own, alleviate the cannibalization concerns
