This was shared a few months ago at one of the companies I work for, and the recent neuromorphic advances (there are several different strains of promising research happening simultaneously) are all exciting just on the efficiency side of things, not to mention all the other things

There's been a noticeable increase of AI/ML practitioners here lately, it seems like the antis have gotten bored or have blocked themselves into their own corner of Bluesky or the site has grown so much that they aren't as noticeable so people are feeling more comfortable coming here

In this guest blog for @odsc.bsky.social, I show you how to implement a simple client in Python, giving your application the ability to use tools served by MCP servers. If you like it, swing by my virtual workshop at ODSC West later this month!

MCP clients, of course! Unfortunately, there are fewer resources out there for building your own clients, and few clients in the wild that support all the features that the protocol provides for (the MCP Inspector has one of them!), but without clients, we wouldn't be able to use MCP at all.

Kyle @kylestratis.com · 8d

Since the launch of Model Context Protocol, MCP servers have taken up much of the limelight. But for those of us building AI-powered intelligent applications, we want to be able to integrate servers, not just build them. But how would we do that?

I got introduced to @randyau.com's 'Data Cleaning IS Analysis, Not Grunt Work' post during the #dataBS Conf this week: www.counting-stuff.com/data-cleanin... . I just finished--it was a great read.

Here are some quotes and thoughts I'm walking away with 👇

I really need to start also publishing to leaflet!

brendan @schlage.town · 13d

Fun fact, we *do* actually do something like this :)

Leaflet doesn't have this exact feature yet (backlinks to all related Bluesky discussions) — but similar: we parse the firehose for Bluesky posts w/ our quote param in their embed record…

…and show in a post where it's been quoted on Bluesky!

screenshot: For example, Leaflet is only interested in events concerning pub.leaflet.* records. However, Leaflet can also choose to listen to other events. If Leaflet wanted to add a feature that shows backlinks to Bluesky discussions of a Leaflet document, it would simply start tracking bsky.app.feed.post records too.

That is to say, even if you’re an intractable introvert, build that muscle and build your village if you want to help effect change in the world.

“What I take from Aaron is that the best way to be truly productive on the margin, is to try to build for other people and connect them together.”

Connecting people is probably the most powerful thing you can do in life, and one of my favorite parts about doing what I do.

This is a great feed for the more serious posts in the AI field. There's plenty of space for shitposting and silliness, but sometimes you just want to read about new papers and stuff.
