Interesting to understand what is possible in this Deno/Pyodide environment. For example sklearn works despite being quite an involved dependency [1]. Another side to this is data input/output, which seems possible with a low level interface [2]. Very exciting that (a simple) end-to-end ML experience is now possible in the modern browser.

The interesting thing about MCP as a tool use protocol is the traction that it has garnered in terms of clients and servers supporting it.
Definitely some irony in Bitcoin making the USD banking system look like a ponzi

From the home page of https://www.sound.xyz/, "$2,688,130.20 Earned by artists from fans using Sound Records"

You can debate whether PayPal or cash would be more efficient than using Ethereum here, but this is a new channel for artists to focus on the art and make a living.

Although they describe the process of how they went about collecting the data set, it would have been an extra special touch for them to release a formatted/clean version of it!

Could you elaborate why predicting stock prices is an invalid example?
