That would require that either you or some LLM helps you to embed MCP in your UI tool. That would then enable an AI to exercise your tool and discover real or made-up bugs in your tool. It might even have the capability to inject bugs into your tool's code, which you can then have a rival AI discover and fix.

Comment Re:But it's a 737 Max! (Score 1) 58

Oh! I came here for that. Let me go...

Trump govt. is obviously trying to shield Boeing here. It's no weather balloon, that's a cooked up story. Obviously, what can you expect from Boeing and that too given that it was a 737. It must be one of those Angle of Attack sensors falling apart and hitting the window. But alas, given how Trump's govt. is trying to shield Boeing, the truth might never come out.

Yet another incident shows us, don't board a Boeing.

Comment What's the big deal here? (Score 0) 73

I don't understand what's the big deal here? Isn't automation as old as man himself?

Leaked documents show that James Watt was trying to invent a machine that runs on steam and can power locomotives, power flour mills and looms and what not. Putting millions of workers out of job. Leaked documents show an early man was trying to invent the wheel. He was plotting to make it easy to move things around, putting thousands of men who carry shit around with their bare hands, out of work. Charles Babbage was scheming to create a machine that can do many calculations much faster than man, putting many men who do calculations on paper toiling hours every day, out of work. Leaked documents reveal that OpenAI is scheming to put millions of call center workers, millions of programmers, millions of artists... out of work. We should ban OpenAI today!

There's a name for it. It's called innovation, progress! I think whatever Amazon is doing is perfectly fine.

Comment I thought this was known to all for many years now (Score 2) 83

I have been using keepa browser extension for years and it lets me check price history of any product on amazon. And what I have been seeing on the price history for many years now, is that there really is no special price. Infact sometimes they jack up the price and call it a lightning deal. Funny. Even edge browser comes with an inbuilt price tracking app, which shows up in the URL bar as a blue tag.

Comment Re:WTF is alpha (Score 1) 35

Adding to you explanation:
You could take on a higher risk to make your boat rise (or fall) above the tide. But that wouldn't count as Alpha. For the same risk (as the benchmark) how much more does your boat rise above the tide, is Alpha.

As a portfolio manager, you would claim to do that by "identifying" certain stocks to add/drop from your portfolio.
