That's only if you're using roaming on your home provider which I doubt many people are. Most people visiting China are either one WiFi (thus are inside the Chinese firewall) or are using a travel (e)sim which usually routes packe

Agree to disagree. I am enthusiastically waiting for Asahi to sort out its display and power management issues, after which I am instantly switching. I'd even take Win 11 over the dumpster fire that is MacOS Tahoe and I am not the only

Slightly off-topic but this is why 3D printing becoming popular is a boon to the repair industry. Yeah, the part might be bad, but instead of paying a ridiculous sum for a piece of plastic, you can take the old one, model it, and make yours

Not only that but it's also quite difficult to find a laptop with an ANSI keyboard in an ISO country. My choices are basically an overpriced new Macbook (MacOS is the main con here), an overpriced new Thinkpad (brand new ones are horri

Me and a few friends are working on a firewall for LLM clients that blocks the lethal trifecta: https://github.com/Edison-Watch/open-edison The way it works is the user registers / imports MCP (Model Context Proto

That is a fair concern, and while that would happen often in some cases, there are others which rarely export data or rarely read public data where you can manually approve each usecase. Still, we are very interested in seeing how people us

It is based on what the MCP server reports to us. As with most current LLM clients we assume that the user has checked the MCP servers they're using for authenticity.

by 76SlashDolphin 1y ago
Really good questions, let's look at them one by one: 1. We are assuming that the user has done their due diligence verifying the authenticity of the MCP server, in the same way they need to verify them when adding an MCP server to Cla

by 76SlashDolphin 1y ago
It is possible thay a malicious MCP could poison the LLM's ability to classify it's tools but then your threat model includes adding malicious MCPs which would be a problem for any MCP client. We are considering adding a repositor

by 76SlashDolphin 1y ago
Those are really good points and we do have some plans for them, mainly on the first topic. What we're envisioning in terms of UX for our gateway is that when you set it up it's very defensive but whenever it detects a trifecta, y

by 76SlashDolphin 1y ago
That's a good question! We do use an LLM to categorise the MCP tools but that is at "add" or "configure" time, not at the time they are called. As such we don't actively run an LLM while the gateway is up, all

by 76SlashDolphin 1y ago
It is possible to configure it like that - when a trifecta is detected, it is possible for the gateway to wait for confirmation before allowing the last MCP call to proceed. The issue with that MCP clients are still in early stages and some

by 76SlashDolphin 1y ago
At least in its current state we just use an LLM to categorise each individual tool. We don't look at the data itself, although we have some ideas of how to improve things, as currently it is very "over-defensive". For exampl

Fair criticism! We wrote the Readme earlier on when we were still ironing out the requirements. I'll fix it up shortly.

There's a lot of trash talking of x86 here but I feel like it's not x86 or Intel/AMD that are the problem for the simple reason that Chromebooks exist. If you've ever used a Chromebook with the Linux VM turned on, they c

The funny thing about 3D printers is that they're making a bit of a comeback. The early ones managed to get the capabilities right - you can print some really impressive things on the older Creality printers, but it required fiddling,

Ooh, one thing that can be very useful for this is sending USB wakeup packets. I have an HTPC under my TV and game controllers (PS4, Xbox) at my coffee table and there is no way to wake up the PC with those over Bluetooth so I have to keep

Huh? Last I checked you can still order them off AliExpress without an issue. And I highly doubt that Nintendo would go after the thousands of people who bought one after the big MIG Switch announcements.

The issue is that underfunding the NHS has become so bad that even very serious cases can't be handled appropriately. I know it's an anecdote, but I've had a fairly bad experience recently after a serious bike incident in the

I think that the fragility of Blu-Rays is a great way to teach a kid responsibility. You only let your kid have access to their Blu-Rays and if they scratch them or break them it's over - no more movie. They'll learn after they br

The difference though is that Swiss' coverage is only from Switzerland, a very wealthy and well-managed country, to other major business and tourist destinations and can arguably run at a loss since it's a national carrier. Not ev

It is difficult because having attendants print boarding cards or working with an airport to maintain ticket printers costs money that eats into their margins and increases prices. It's not like they don't warn you that checking i
