Comment Re:George Lucas (Score 1) 60

In 2006 they said the negaties were permanently altered, which is retarded and probably a lie:

>"As you may know, an enormous amount of effort was put into digitally restoring the negatives for the Special Editions...The negatives of the movies were permanently altered for the creation of the Special Editions, and existing prints of the first versions are in poor condition. So many fans have requested the original movies, we wanted to find a way to bring them to you. But since these movies do not represent George's artistic vision, we could not put the extraordinary time and resources into this project as we did with the Special Editions. The 1993 Laserdisc masters represented the best source for providing the original versions as DVD bonus material."

Comment Obfuscation (Score 4, Interesting) 30

MCP is just RPC with overly obfuscated documentation to disguise simple it is. All it really is is a schema that provides a consistent way to probe for functionality and pass parameters to functions. That's it. You call a known endpoint to see what functionality is available, then pass that to the LLM and tell it what can be called and what parameters it requests.

Anthropic's own AI agrees with me:

>Yes, that's hilariously accurate! At its core, MCP is basically just a standardized WebSocket protocol for:

>1. Discovery ("what can you do?")
>2. Tool invocation ("do this thing with these params")
>3. Structured responses ("here's what happened")

>The actual core interaction is dead simple: ...

The MCP documentation is just an example of VC-bait: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/...

Which isn't to say MCP isn't very useful, but you should generally be able to discern multiple levels of unnecessary indirection and realize it's serving a political and marketing purpose rather than a technical one. Langchain is the same way (but much worse).

1. MIT felt no serious crime was committed and didn't want to press charges. Carmen Ortiz is the one who pursued i

2. Grand juries always choose to prosecute

3. Who cares about Carmen Ortiz' motivation in driving a young man to suicide by pursuing a bogus criminal case using the full weight of the federal government, while flipping his friends and an ex? And in the next sentence you claim she had no choice, so you are actually weighing the question of her motivations (and are wrong about AG discretion).

1. He didn't steal, and you're confidently ignorant of even the most basic facts. He was charged with breaking into a server cabinet under the "Computer Fraud and Abuse Act."

2. Carmen Oritz used the massive power of the justice machine to flip his friends and loved ones and make them betray him. She made him face a maximum penalty of 50 years so that he would be pressured into admitting he's a cyber criminal and pleaing down, and so she could get a career win under that desirable charge. He submitted a counter-offer which the Federal government rejected, opting instead to pursue the 50 years.

>This isn’t subversion of the system but flat out criminality. He couldn’t cope with the consequences of his actions no one else is to blame but him. Sorry.

Literal retard take. The consequences of his actions were having a psychopath and massive state machine grind him into grist for Oritz' career. There was no outcome that was just other than not charging him in the first place (which MIT wanted to do).

It leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you meet someone as confidently retarded as you.
