This isn’t opportunity costs, the government had to sell bonds to do all that because wasn’t sitting on cash.

I’m just saying that I don’t think “it was a profitable program” is true.

Factoring the overall benefits to the economy is obviously the right way to judge it and is (mostly) unrelated to its direct profitability.
If you think NFLX is going to increase x%, then your total comp goes up accordingly. If you took straight cash, you'd only recognize those same gains if you had purchased NFLX with it.

I think the author's point is that the architecture of MCP is fundamentally extremely high trust between not only your agent software and the integrations, but the (n choose 2) relationships between all of them. We're doing the LLM equivalent of loading code directly into our address space and executing it. This isn't a bad thing, dlopen is incredibly powerful with this power, but the problem being solved with MCP just isn't that level of trust.

The real level of trust is on the order OAuth flows where the data provider has a gun sighted on every integration. Unless something about this protocol and it's implementations change I expect every MCP server to start doing side-channel verification like getting an email "hey your LLM is asking to do thing, click the link to approve." Where in this future it severely inhibits the usefulness of agents in the same vein as Apple's "click the notification to run this automation."

>Instead of being seen as a safe haven, U.S. debt itself started to look shaky. Maybe it was the deficit outlook, maybe the global response to tariffs — but whatever it was, yields started climbing. Fast.

Seems pretty simple to me - bond yields moved up sharply because they follow inflation expectations. Bond holders take on inflation risk, so when future inflation is expected to increase, yields go up to compensate. Out of control tariffs equals out of control inflation, which equals rocketing bond yields. The fact that Trump's team didn't realize this would happen is both hilarious and frightening. This is Econ 101 stuff.
True that stock _options_ are only worth something after an IPO, but vested and exercised stock options that get turned into equity is a different story.

Equity can be worth something via acquisition from private equity doing roll-ups, corporate buyers looking to fill strategic product niches, etc

Also, for the more heavily vc-funded late stage still pre-ipo plays, secondary market, which can be at a discount to the most recent vc round, or in some rare instances in a hot sector, premium.

One other thing - waiting for the IPO might be the worst thing to wait to do. The public markets are much more fickle than private markets. Once a company IPOs, there's usually a trading moratorium on insider shares, usually 180 days, so by then, the equity value may have completely imploded.

I would really like to see what a reasoning model with access to player character information, resources available in the location, and the monster manual could do. One of the hardest things as a DM, in my experience, is creating a balanced encounter without fudging. This has always made it hard for me to justify presenting a truly deadly encounter which I feel has lowered the stakes of the game. It seems like it should be possible to create a system that knows the strengths/weaknesses of a party and that could create a challenging but not overwhelming encounter most of the time.
> At that point any purpose you make for yourself is better than that one even if it's true.

Absolutely, let's not let thermodynamics be the final word on the topic.

But suppose we did... To anybody who would cite this as a reason to drill more oil, I'd say that part of the equation is that we must also survive. In 10k years there will still be plenty of useful sunlight falling on the planet. Ideally we'll be around then, harnessing it to throw really great parties or whatever. If we aren't choosy about our fuel sources in the near term we might not be around to continue at this purpose in the long term.
It's great for general and open ended conversation systems where there is no predefined flow or process to follow. Where you have general capabilities you add to the agent (web search, code execution, web drivers, etc.). But a lot of agentic architecture patterns aren't like that, there you want to closely model the flow, guard rails and constraints of the agent. You can't just take a bunch of MCP services and plug them together to solve every business problem. I think it's a bit unfair to MCP because it doesn't seem to even attempt to solve these problems in the first place. It's not replacing things like LangChain.

Everyone should welcome MCP as an open community-driven standard, because the alternative are fractured, proprietary and vendor-locked protocols. Even if right now MCP is a pretty bad standard over time it's going to improve. I take a bad standard that can evolve with time, over no standard at all.

> If you really believe your employer's stock will double in value, you can take your cash bonus and buy shares of it.

RSUs aren't quite that deal, because they're "invested" before they vest. Even assuming that the employer would be equally willing to give you either $X/yr in cash or $4X in RSUs over the next 4 years, you can definitely come out ahead if the stock keeps going up. It's effectively a form of leverage through time arbitrage; you get to buy $4X worth of stock at today's prices using money you don't have yet.

Consider a simplified scenario where the stock is flat forever, except that it doubles in a single day when you've been there for a year. If you take the $X in cash and immediately buy your employer's stock with all of it, you only double your money on that first year's paycheck. By the end of the 4 years, you would have $5X (the $4X you earned in salary/bonus, plus one extra X from the doubling). On the other hand, if you take the RSUs, that entire grant, including what hasn't vested yet, benefits from the increase. In this scenario, by the end of the 4 years, you have $8X.

Similar happens with any scenario where the price is monotonically-increasing, but with more arithmetic. If you assume that the stock will go up over time, and that you wouldn't want to be trying to time the market, this starts to look like a pretty good bet. Compound that with the fact that most employers will be willing to offer a much higher number in RSUs than in cash - that is, if they would offer $X in cash bonuses, they'll offer >>$4X over 4 years in RSUs, especially as a starting/signing-bonus offer - for reasons having to do with financial accounting, and it's suddenly a very attractive deal.

The main reason to prefer cash over RSUs is for diversification. But if we're talking about a public company, you can still sell the RSUs as soon as they vest in order to diversify (and the standard advice is to do so). You really only stand to lose if your employer's stock goes down between grant and vest - not just worse than market, but actually down - which, on average, is an easy bet to take. Getting RSUs at a private company is a much dicier prospect, of course, because now you're locked into that lack of diversification in a way that really matters; even after the point where you get the paycheck, you don't get to bail out if the ship starts to sink.

Well £200 pays for many hours of labour to go though that stack...

And with postal volumes dropping, there is plenty of excess labour and equipment to do so.

Besides, if this service saw any substantial use, it would be worth splitting all big stacks into crates of just a few hundred items each.

The earnings filings are available on SEC. Where the product makes a difference is by analyzing interesting patterns and contextualizing it with different means

e.g. this NVDA earnings report: https://www.signalbloom.ai/news/NVDA/nvidia-revenue-soars-ma...

beyond the headline revenue/EPS miss/beat which is trivial, it correctly identifies a trend of margin compression and charts it. It also identifies the gaming revenue divergence from the datacenter revenues and so on. You can check out pretty much any report and odds are, you'll find things that weren't called out in the earnings release
Surely if this is about creating a step in a checklist, all you need is a box to tick in the PR template, and that would be an even simpler version of this, requiring far fewer moving parts and being easier to use.

I think part of the criticism of (1) here comes from the complexity of the solution, which makes it feel like it should be competing with a more fully-fledged CI solution. But for a tool where the goal is really just to let the developers assert that they've run some tests, it's surely a lot more complicated than it needs to be, no?

> It was intended to be a systems language to replace C++

More specifically, it was intended to replace the systems that Google wrote in C++ (read: servers). Early on, the Go team expressed happy surprise that people found utility in the language outside of that niche.

> but has instead pivoted to be a "cloud language"

I'm not sure that is really a pivot. At the heart of all the "cloud" tools it is known for is a HTTP server which serves as the basis of the control protocol, among other things. Presumably Go was chosen exactly because of it being designed for building servers. Maybe someone thought there would be more CRUD servers written in it too, but these "cloud" tools are ultimately in the same vein, not an entirely different direction.

> or a replacement for Python

I don't think you'd normally choose Go to train your ML/AI model. It has really only gunned for Python in the server realm; the very thing it was intended to be for. What was surprising to those living in an insular bubble at Google was that the rest of the world wrote their servers in Python and Ruby rather than C++ like Google – so it being picked up by the Python and Ruby crowd was unexpected to them – but not to anyone else.
> making software instantaneous does wonders for improving how it feels to use.

When you phrase it like that, I'm actually more surprised Linux suffers from the extra latency. When most software is written to scratch an itch and optimization beyond "works on my machine" is for fun, you'd expect latency to evaporate over time
"Statistics" on its own doesn't tell you anything; you have to consider your own risk aversion. Only VCs can afford to be risk-neutral and only consider expected value.

No, it isn't. People are interested in whether a stock has volatility, and whether it has moved x%. If a $10 stock loses $1 it should show a roughly matching pattern to a $200 stock losing $20. Intersecting at zero will show a very large movement for the $10 stock and a very small movement in the $200 stock, despite the effect being the same to stockholders.

The most common mistake you'll get here is people running tests, then making a small change later, then having tests fail unexpectedly. Even accidentally. This has happened to me before with regular CI, and often hit me during an automerge I fully expected to pass.
A big revelation for me in solving so much timezone insanity came from realising that timezones should be expressed as locations rather than zones.

Avoid general terms like "Pacific Standard Time" and stick to location-specific ones like: "Vancouver/Canada". The latter is how people expect their time to work, and correctly handles whatever quirky choices jurisdictions choose to do with their time.
> Shouldn’t they focus on their core service instead of trying to branch out

Their core service (sending letters) has seen declining per capita volumes ever since the invention of the telephone.

They need to branch out or die. The fact they have an employee visit every address in the nation every day gives them a huge benefit to getting into loads of businesses other companies wouldn't have a chance at.

It's actually more than that, because the option costs less than the price of a full share. i.e. if your comp is $400k and you choose 100% stock options as your comp, that value allocation will almost certainly control more shares than if you took 400k in cash and used that to buy all NFLX shares.

If that wasn't the case then yes, there would be no reason to take options as comp because obviously (as you say) you can just buy NFLX on the stock market directly with some or all of your cash.
Yeah it's especially a bit humbling when you realize that the vast majority of critters are some form or another of carnivore/omnivore and there's only a trace few herbivores and they're all the "pests" like aphids that we are constantly doing battle with... Except when they are things like cows that we ourselves eat.

Plants are naturally a bit protected from animal predators by a simple economics of scale: proteins require nitrogen, we can't get it from the air even though it's abundant there, we need to get it from nitrogen fixing bacteria but those are farmed by plants in their plant roots... But plants are mostly cellulose and don't have much nitrogen by proportion. But then they are also actively protected by being extremely effective poison manufacturers, using their rigid cell walls to put things at high pressures, growing around pests, cutting off resources to leaves and regrowing them after the predator moves on, and attracting predators of their predators like ladybugs.

But the networks of interdependence that we eventually form should perhaps not be put into a traditional exploiter/exploited juxtaposition. “How can I tweak myself so that you find me indispensable?” is a question both the humans and the plants are asking of themselves vis-a-vis each other.
It seems rather disappointing if typical management would make such impactful decisions so rapidly that their "on paper" analysis couldn't be made clever enough to consider more than a single variable.

Nope, the fruit is for the humans or whatever pollinators, as a reward, in a similar way that pollen is a reward for bees.

The food for the seed is inside of the seed, which is often not the fruit. Most fruits are different anatomically, but you will find that an apple has little seeds, you open it and you will find endosperm in it, mostly food for the little embryo in the seed.

For stuff like wheat we really do eat the endosperm, but for stuff like apples and watermelons and peaches, we spit out the seeds. (For peaches we often don't even see the seed, which is hidden inside of a woody endocarp, you can crack it open and find the actual seed inside.

So if you thought that the peach meat was the food for the seed you were doubly wrong, you need to go several layers deep in order to find the seed food.
