This is great!

I lived in DC for a couple of years and I felt exactly the same. I try and carry that same mentality to all museums now, paid or unpaid. No research, no expectations, wander around and let yourself be surprised, leave when you’re bored. It’s a lot of fun.

Although it is hard to do when you’ve paid 50 bucks for a ticket and you know there is “just one more” ultra-famous piece on the other side of the museum and when will I really be back in (Amsterdam, Paris, etc)?

What was the company in taiwan you partnered with?

Are there platforms that make such training more streamlined? Say I have some definition of success for a given problem and it’s data how do I go about generating said RL model as fast and easily as possible?

This is a great idea. I have a question:

Typically speaking an LLM is the code driving the control flow and the MCP servers are kind of dumb API endpoints (find_flights, search_hotels, etc) say for a travel MCP.

With your product, how is the LLM made aware of the underlying data store in a more useful way than “func search(query)”?

It seems to be that if you could expose some precomputed API structure into the MCP for a given data store then the LLM could reason more effectively about the data rather than throwing search queries into the void and hoping for the best?

You should go. I was all set to go to Caltech or the Ivies and turned them down for mostly, though not entirely, financial reasons and went to a state school instead. Worked out mostly fine but much harder to get foot in the door and the opportunities and experiences you get in a place like MIT last a lifetime.

If you don't go, many doors will become closed or so much harder to get into that it's basically equivalent. Want to join a think tank, become a quant on Wallstreet, easily raise VC money at 23? These are all much easier with the credibility a MIT degree brings.

"Normal" degreed people essentially live a life where everybody assumes you are stupid until proven otherwise. MIT people are assumed to be smart until proven otherwise. That is a tremendous advantage in almost all contexts.

Not to mention the quality of your peers and the education itself. Don't pass up the opportunity to really challenge yourself and see what you can do. Sure, it's just undergrad and you aren't really solving anything of note but just being surrounded by the leaders of your field is inspiring and will push you to be your best.

Sample size 1 over here but especially MIT I would go. MIT is big and diverse enough that you can go as technical as you want, or study business, or…?

Anyway my 2 cents from a 30 something that has been around the block.

Congrats and good luck!

Awesome idea man. As an avid water sports guy and an avid shark phobia guy, could you use sonar to detect large moving objects at distance?

I'd buy one and turn it into an RV. That use case makes a ton of sense. Fully integrated solar to power your electrical appliances while stationary.

They have cloud work flows as well. I wish you guys all the best though!

Just wait until all software becomes a streamed H.265 video stream. That's certainly the future once latency allows for it. No piracy, infinite subscriptions, total control. But if you don't like it, don't buy it. That's life.

Seems like Microsoft Power Automate (Flow) is your biggest competitor? It's free for all Office 365 users (most people).

Yeah I am as well, but we are all sick of paying rent and yet we do. It is what it is and there's no way around it.

I'm sure they will face the piper at some point, but you don't see people in Copenhagen living on the streets or in squalor. Probably because China makes all of their stuff and immigrants build all of their houses, but still.
