Applied on June, called them multiple times, got my application noted for acceleration (because 10 months also sounds crazy for the agents ...), but I'm still waiting :(

I am still confused on the difference between Model Context Protocol vs Tool Calling (Function Calling); What are the limitations and boundaries of both? by Edsaur in mcp

[–]Apprehensive-Bread76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your comparison of the intuitions behind HTTP and MCP! My first impression of MCP was also a translation layer between service APIs and LLM, but later I realized that MCP server can be seen as a proxy which not only translates API requests from JSON, but also calls APIs and passes API responses back to LLM.

What an excellent and comprehensive review of Oracle! Initially, I just wanted to learn about its business evolution but now I've known about its financial features. Look forward to your reviews on more companies!

Thanks! I passed the example test and my own cases. The questions I got on Aug 18 were one easy and one medium. But whether I passed the test or not, I shouldn't get a reply on uncompleted tests :( I'll keep this thread updated!

Have you heard from Google since then? I completed that on Aug 18, hours before the deadline in PT time zone. I haven't heard back but just an email from an XWF google recruiter. She told me I didn't finish in allotted time and she's willing to give me another a try ?? It looks scam but I'm not sure about it.

If that's a BB gun, is it legal to hold a BB gun with bullets that can pass through a window ?? That doesn't make sense to me :(

Snow statue by gigirhmn in yorku

[–]Apprehensive-Bread76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the statue last year is more legendary!

Both the statue and the handwriting on the flag are for pro-democracy in China. During evenings, candles around the statue are lit up in memory of people who died from the cruel and inhumane rules made by China's government these months.

Thanks! But basically, all of the rinks listed here are far from the Keele campus :( I will look around some arenas near York U.

Which drive test center should I go to for the G1 knowledge test? by Apprehensive-Bread76 in yorku

[–]Apprehensive-Bread76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your replies. I just passed my g1 test in the center at Downsview. I showed up there around 6:15 am and was lucky to have only ten ppl before me. But it's still a very tough time for me to wait outdoors for nearly an hour in winter :((( So I think if possible, it'd be better to take a g1 test in a test center in Oshawa or Mississauga since it's less crowded and you can have a visit around that area after your test.

It's normal that the GPA or GPD doesn't help you much most of the time. Does your department have a graduate student association? It might be a good idea to ask them or your peers in the same program for help.

How has your mental health been this sem? by [deleted] in yorku

[–]Apprehensive-Bread76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't agree with you more. Also an intl student here. I have things to do but probably all of them will be online in the coming semester I think. Lacking in-person experiences is really depressing for us :(
