Intel Arc Pro B60 will come in a 48GB dual-GPU model. So yeah, hardware is gonna be there, and the 24GB model will be $599 from Sparkle. I assume 48GB will be cheaper than a hacked RTX 4090.

The goodness isn’t in giving all the money away, but in the positive change you can induce while making even a fraction of it available to a worthy cause. Obviously you wouldn’t create a better world by giving your money away to another billionaire or Polluting Genociders Inc, but if you engage in good faith and steel man the argument you can surely find some examples you’d agree with, such as preventing wars for resources and saving people from painful slow deaths due to starvation. Can we agree those are positive things? That working towards improving the lives of others without expecting a return makes one a better person?

Consider this: A billionaire (not even a multibillionaire, just one on the “lower end”) who gave away $1 a second would be giving away $86400 a day. Sounds like a lot, until you realise it would still take them 32 years to give it all away, and that’s assuming they wouldn’t be making any money in the meantime.

Now consider the number of people living in extreme poverty.

it's a transparent proxy that automatically launches your selected model with your preferred inference server so that you don't need to manually start/stop the server when you want to switch model

so, let's say I have configured roo code to use qwen3 30ba3b as the orchestrator and glm4.5 air as coder, roo code would call the proxy server with model "qwen3" when using orchestrator mode and then kill llama.cpp with qwen3 and restart it with "glm4.5air"

Hi xp84, thanks for the feedback!

You’re totally right, visibility and monitoring are key, especially in containerized or distributed environments. In Orkera, you can already see past tasks, upcoming tasks, and their status, and you even have the ability to cancel tasks if needed. We also handle retries automatically.

That said, making this more dashboard-friendly and alert-driven is definitely something we’re thinking about. Appreciate the insight, exactly the kind of feedback I’m looking for!

I've been reading everything I can find on HTTP API design the past few months. I'm particularly interested in learning about the finer details of great, human centered APIs. It's been surprisingly hard to find a lot of great resources on the topic. So, I am writing up some of the basics for my own reference but also for others who are interested in the topic as I progress in my research. This article goes over the basic semantics of HTTP.

I know many here are much more experienced and have operated at a much larger scale than I have (I build APIs for smaller factories), so please point me in the direction of resources you believe would be useful as I continue to study!

EDIT: somehow I cut off the end of the link. Direct to article: https://www.danealbaugh.com/articles/api-fundamentals

IANAL and I'm not making legal claims, if that's what you're getting at.

Just on the basis of fair expectations in the marketplace, if you say all you need is a fixed rate to serve me for the rest of time, then that's the deal. Anything short, insolvency or otherwise, is reneging. The mismanagement of the company is not my concern.

And before people hop on and make it sound like people with this expectation are naive for believing a company could offer this lifetime service for that fee, AntennaPod + gPodder.net provide the _exact same service_ for the low price of $0. I gave PocketCasts money, and somehow they turned that into -800K .

I don't know where this mentality that customers owe companies that fall short of their promises grace or understanding come from. When I fall short of my obligations to companies, collection agencies rather than thank you notes usually appear.

This feels more like a failure than a win.

Don't get me wrong, I love Valgrind, and have been using it extensively in my past life as a C developer. Though the fact that Go needs Valgrind feels like a failure of the language or the ecosystem. I've been doing Rust for ~6 years now, and haven't had to reach for Valgrind even once (I think a team member may have use it once).

I realize that's probably because of cgo, and maybe it's in-fact a step forward, but I can help but feel like it is a step backwards.

I made this comment on another thread that ended up getting flagged as dupe, but this is probably not all that mysterious. These SIM boxes are a commercial product you can buy from China:

https://cnetross.en.made-in-china.com/product/OSomfpPGJWUH/C...

...and their purpose is mostly to provide an IP-to-cell-phone-number gateway for SMS spam and phone scams. A real cell phone number is greatly preferable to VoIP phone numbers, which are blocked / flagged at a much higher rate.

OP never used the word "character." They asked about good deeds, which appears to be about the action, whereas character is about the intention of the person. If MrBeast cured your blindness and he did it solely to make money and doesn't care about you at all, you still got your blindness cured. If I volunteer at the soup kitchen just to meet women, I have failing character but I still did the good deed. This is the MrBeast dilemma: what are we to conclude when the two are in opposition? What does it mean when someone does a good deed in order to benefit from it themselves? Is that a win-win situation, or is it bad? Does it completely negate the good deed? These are generally unsettled questions in our culture.

As you can see from our examples, the main approach is not tool search. Instead, Strata guides your AI agent step by step, going from server to categories to actions to action details so that the model does not get overloaded. We actually have 1000+ tools for some of the integrations (e.g. GitHub) and this approach works better than traditional methods.

Think of it as a search engine vs. a file explorer. But we do provide documentation search as well. So you get the best out of the two worlds.

You don't need to give me lessons in photography. I remember around the time of D750 Sony upgraded their sensor manufacturing process from some ancient 100-200nm or so to something newer which improved night performance tenfold. Quantum efficiency got substantially better on a better process. Nobody is telling you to shrink pixels to get 1000MPx, instead about making a better 30MPx sensor of the same size. Yet they aren't using the latest (2-5nm) processes for sensors as at their sizes that would be too expensive (I guess H100 chip-level prices for a medium-format sensor).

This is something I actually started to work on and put down because it wasn't exciting enough, but it's a legit product that fills a niche and congrats on the launch.

The biggest issue I found was getting agents to intelligently navigate the choose your own adventure of searching for the right tool. It amazes me that they're so good at coding when they're so bad at tool use in general. I'm sure your MCP responses were a fun bit of prompt engineering.

Err, no. Politics is the art of manipulating people so they act differently than what they would be inclined to. Modern politics is made possible by psychology and sociology (that and the more traditional use of violence of course), and a lot of work goes into it.

Regarding economics, I don't know where to start. Economy is global and its laws are the same everywhere; certainly national policies influence it, but the idea that it is chiefly influenced by the individual characters of the inhabitants sounds like a fantasy to me; maybe a fantasy useful to justify some privileges (you know, like protestantism favoring business etc) but apart from those sociological theories it does sound very idealistic to me.

Maybe you could give your own definition of national character and show how it relates to the economy? That would help me figure out if I've been overlooking something obvious, or if you are indeed content with the idealistic fantasies i alluded to above. It would also be a more honest contribution to the discussion than just dismissing what I've said as bizarre and irrational.

This doesn’t just apply to code - it applies to organisations just as easily.

I ate a lot of cat turds as a kid. Ate a whole bunch through university, and then I signed up to work for a cat turd factory in London.

Sucked. Decided to stop eating cat turds and go start a candy factory instead.

For the first few years, we made candy. Good candy. Then, slowly, gradually, over the course of a decade, we realised that our clients wanted cat turds, so little by little we started putting more turd and less candy in the product, and as part of that we of course had to start eating cat turds again. I would distribute them to my staff, our investors would check in to ensure everyone was still eating their turds, and I would eat as many of them as I could to save the staff from indigestion.

Fast forward a decade and we had a full scale cat turd factory going. I’d get up every day, ram thousands of the things down my throat, spent my nights vomiting them up, for it turns out you really can only eat so many, and then repeat.

Eventually, my body started failing. It turns out you can’t live on cat turds alone.

So I quit, and only snack on a cat turd occasionally these days, when the state mandates it.

The factory is still going strong. After my departure they got rid of the staff who didn’t realise how many turds they’d have to eat after I left, hired coprophages, and switched over to producing a successful line of cat diarrhoea.

In that case, we've never even showed up to the battle, there's been copy protection and ROM encryption since arcade cabinets.

https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/24481/whi...

We're arguably in a better place than we used to be, in some respects. Consider the Capcom CPS2 - an arcade cabinet that self-destructs when the battery expires or is removed for any reason. Now that's unthinkable and actually anti-consumer.

The reality is simply a mirror of the same arguments on OPs side.

Just like it's not the people it's the government and their policies, there, it's not the people, but the government and the policies here.

I remember having compliance trainings that explicitly spelled out sanctioned countries. They are being enforced by compliance and legal departments in every company. There's nothing personal on either side here.

Yeah, in my (limited) experience, htmx works best to grease the wheels of an oldschool multi-page app.

I tried building something with SPAish drag-and-drop interactivity using htmx, and my ultimate conclusion was that functionality like that should either be totally encapsulated as one big htmx swap unit or be written as js "islands" outside htmx.

This person officially has his workplace at the recruiting firm, but I don't understand why he'd have a meta email address. I would expect him to have the recruiting firms email. Unless meta gives third-party recruiters top-level domain email addresses, it's super odd. My guess is someone at meta has been compromised, but I could be wrong and just paranoid; perhaps it's legitimate (super skeptical, though).

Luckily my children have all avoided these specific scammers, Mr Beast, Logan Paul, etc. But I keep my eye on the space a bit and I am appalled at how common and easy it is for these grifters to scam children.

Almost all of the content I have seen become popular have been highly toxic "relationships" with their audience. It's happening and pretty bad for non-children content, but it's happening worse and shouldn't be happening at all for childrens content.

I mean, we get it, they are a high-margin audience traditionally. Selling garbage to kids makes big bucks. Kids are dumb and they buy stupid things for non-existent reasons. That's why traditionally we have had more laws to protect them and been more vigilant about it. It seems like we've seriously slipped and just kind of thrown our hands in the air and concluded "I guess kids have to get scammed over and over"

I am partially with you on this one.

"Yes people often technically have options of not getting screwed but those options almost exist in a different world and in order to choose them you have to abandon the one you are living in now."

But the question that remains is this: If the true situation is people who'd desperately like not to be screwed, and would pay the same or more for this privilege, but are made helpless by corporate propaganda and market dominance, why do we not see new players rushing in to fill this need? They could take massive amounts of market share.

There are only two explanations I can see:

1. Monopoly forces or similar at work.

2. This is not the actual situation.

Regarding 1, you can make the argument for a network effect/coldstart problem. That seems possible to me as an alternative explanation, and as a way out. Still, in my personal experience, 90% of people just don't care that much, and so are vulnerable to essentially being "bribed" by short-term corporate incentives. The free/privacy-respecting alternatives would have to match this force, and also match the marketing.

During college, myself and friends did the math and found buying a crappy house 20 miles away was vastly cheaper than renting so we did that.

I was the one that actually 'owned' the house. No one paid rent to me, but I was reimbursed for all utilities, food, etc. My only expense was the mortgage.

Since no one paid rent, it wasn't a 'boarding house.'

It makes sense though. Or to put it another way, it seems odd to expect that there's always a global thumbnail optimum for a given YouTube video.

So to bring in the most views, put out different thumbnails to attract different viewers. Ideally YouTube would have support for this where you can just upload a dozen thumbnails or so, and YouTube figure out who needs to see which.

> Iran is not the only example in which sanctions have resulted in unintended consequences. Since 1970, unilateral sanctions imposed by the U.S. have achieved foreign policy goals in just about 13% of cases, according to one study. A recent Congressional Research report evaluating U.S. sanctions in Venezuela found that sanctions “exacerbated an ongoing economic and humanitarian crisis caused by government mismanagement and corruption that has promoted 7.7 million Venezuelans to flee.” U.S. sanctions also exacerbated humanitarian crises in North Korea, reported UNICEF, putting 60,000 vulnerable children at risk of starvation due to limited humanitarian aid.

His logic is not flawed to anyone who thinks about it:

1. You have to be a shitty human being to become a billionaire. 2. If you give away all your money, you’re not a shitty human being. 3. But if you’re not a shitty human being, how could you have become a billionaire in the first place?

This, 1000%. I think there's a certain kind of thinking that low-IQ people fall into, which is blaming civilians for the actions of their government, often with the coping "they should just overthrow their government" (because it's that easy!)

Sadly, in our world where everyone has a voice, you're going to get a lot of this. There's no avoiding the stupids.

Sort of...

Many people do not want to hear this. Many would point to economic factors as the main problem.

But I think that when people are educated about the risks and responsibilities of parenthood and given the choice of doing so (birth control, abortion, etc.) - the simple fact is that they CHOOSE not have enough kids to meet the replacement rate.

The reason you can see this is because the lowering birth rates aren't limited to one or two countries. It is every industrialized country. Every single one. If the issues were purely economic, those countries with amazing parental leave and better social nets would avoid the problem - but they don't.

I'm not sure what that kind of future for humanity will look like long term. It will be an interesting reckoning in ~100-200 years.

The discrete TPMs (dTPM) have had a rough ride over the past few decades. They’ve faced numerous bugs, some fixable, others built right into the way it works. Because dTPMs are physically exposed, they’ve always been an interesting target to attack, and in most scenarios when high value devices have to operate autonomously and unsupervised, dTPM provides little to no practical security

If you have ERVs and filters then amazing. That's still outdoor air.

Yes you have to take into account running an air filter for PM2.5, closing the window while a truck is idling outside, running your humidifier or dehumidifier if you want.

But you need fresh air coming in somehow, at a certain rate. There's no way around it. Pollution in terms of VOC's, and CO2, is always higher indoors than outdoors, because things indoor generate it and don't remove it.

For sure, that's why I said it's possibly due to the ecosystem. We link against two C libraries other than libc: OpenSSL and librdkafka. Though they are both abstracted away with solid Rust bindings so for us, so as a consumer of these libs it hasn't been a problem (I guess it may be a problem for the people developing them).

I guess maybe the failure is not the addition of it (as it's useful for people writing the bindings), but rather how happy everyone on the thread is (which means it's more useful than it should be due to a failure with the ecosystem).
by hedgehog | 2025-09-23 15:40:25+00:00
It looks really slick, for us the reason we haven't adopted yet is it brings more tooling and configuration that overlaps with our existing system for prompt templates, schema definitions, etc. In the component where we couldn't rely on OpenAI structured outputs we experimented with TOML-formatted output, that ended up being reliable enough to solve the problem across many models without any new dependencies. I do think we'll revisit at some point as Boundary also provides incremental parsing of streaming outputs and may allow some cost optimization that is not easy right now.

tl;dr, We built an internal GPT that connects to all your data sources (Slack, Notion, Gdrive, codebase, etc.) and it works remarkably well. Don’t take our word for it though, you can get set up in under 30 minutes, for free, at https://getgrapevine.ai

Like many of you, we were interested in a ChatGPT that fully understands your company. We tried all the existing tools (including expensive enterprise ones), but while they were good at answering “what is X team’s Q4 goal,” they weren’t good at the day-to-day questions that actually blocked people.

So, our founders and early engineers created a set of 100+ representative questions, from hard technical questions to company-specific knowledge questions. At first, the state-of-the-art “enterprise search” products were getting about 50% of them correct, and our in-house system was getting 35%. But as we solved details in data processing, search algorithm, and more, we eventually achieved 85%. (For reference, the best human score our founders got was 70%)

It’s changed the way we work: popular engineering channels that have 5+ questions / day are fully answered proactively by AI, and people across departments go to the bot first for bug reports, incidents, and support tickets. Our 15+ beta customers have been consistently surprised by the quality of answers too.

We’d love for everyone to try it out themselves! We put a lot of effort into making it easy to set up (less than 30 min) and the first month is free. Grapevine is built with our company’s SOC 2 Type II standards and if it doesn’t work out, it’s super easy to delete your data.

Lastly: for the AI-native companies. We started down this path because we saw it as a prerequisite for all the interesting agents we wanted to build for ourselves. Expect additional launches very soon on how to build on top of Grapevine, and a few cool applications of our own!

Yeah people can barely see past the length of their own nose.

Its a marketing experiment basically. I think a bunch of people coalesced to answer the question. "So, how could we completely wipe the leaderboard in terms of views/attention and dethrone an entire cohort of competitors in the quest for dominance over people's attention?"

In the process they completely pulled out all stops, if it bleeds it leads, save the children, high risk stunts, and psychological knee jerks. Out of nowhere they play minecraft too? Of course, its popular so, why not. The ends justifies the means. Of course, all influencers do this to a point, but none are so systematic, diversified and approach the question with so many types of content.
