It doesn't actually charge you anything. You just have to put a card down to be considered a priority because now you potentially can spend money & therefore are more important then the other free-tier losers. /s It's still free tier & still free.

The free tier is also based on capcity usage, and not instances. If you want 3 cores on 1 machine & 1 on another, they're cool with that. I personally run Pangolin on a 1 core & self-hosted github runners on a 3 core.

You have to know what is changing before you can bend it to your will! Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming marketing faster than any technology shift in the last decade. Yet for many marketing teams, the landscape is noisy, fragmented, and hard to categorize. To unlock real ROI, teams need a clear understanding of what types of GenAI tools exist, where they fit, and how to build a stack that supports content, audience, and revenue goals.

This guide breaks down ten essential categories of GenAI marketing tools shaping the industry today.

SyncForge is a new toolset for working musicians who want to get placed in TV/film/commercials without dealing with the usual messy process.

What it does:

Lets you pitch to real sync briefs

One-click splits & licenses (no PDFs, no chasing signatures)

Escrow payouts that release automatically once your song is approved

Built specifically for singer-songwriters who want placements fast

Why we built it: We’re musicians ourselves. Sync licensing is still slow and outdated — emails, PDFs, weeks waiting for paperwork, manual splits, and zero payment protection. We wanted a tool that handles everything in one workflow.

SyncForge automates:

Pitching

Approvals

Splits

Licensing

Payment security

Payouts

So musicians can focus on being creative instead of paperwork.

It's painful, but you can split your DNS across multiple providers. It's not usually done other than during migrations, but if you put two NS names from providerA and two from providerB, you'll get a mix of resolution (most high profile domains have 4 NS names; sometimes based on research/testing, sometimes based on cargo culting; I assume you want to fit in... but amazon.com has 8, and the DNS root and some high profile tlds have 13, so you do you :)). If either provider fails and stops responding, most resolvers will use the other provider. If one provider fails and returns bad data (including errors) or even can no longer be updated [1], the redundancy doesn't really help --- you probably went from a full outage that's easy to diagnose to a partial outage that's much harder to diagnose; and if both providers are equally reliable, you increased your chances of having an outage.

[1] But, it's DNS; the expectation is that some resolvers, hopefully very few of them, will cache data as if your TTL value was measured in days. IMHO, If you want to move all your traffic in a defined timeframe, DNS is not sufficient.

> The relevant use case is you come here to see links people share and comment on them. That's sufficiently "social" in this context.

Just having users submit links that other users can comment on doesn't make it social media. I can't follow particular users or topics, I can't leave myself a note about some user that I've had a positive or negative experience with, I can't ignore someone who I don't want to read, etc. Heck, usernames are so de-emphasized on this site that I almost always forget that they're there.

This seems dishonest. Surely the liberal position - on average - is the rejection of dangerous police, even if that means rejecting a large number of police officers, until the police force (nationally and/or locally) is once again a trustworthy foundation of democratic civilization? The unfortunate reality is that, when you have a class of people with authority and guns, even if only a small minority of them are dangerous, that immediately ruins the image of the whole thing until they are rooted out. Americans have historically proven that, if there's one thing they won't stand for, it's being oppressed/frightened by those in power.

I know people who eat a type of ant that stores a sugary liquid. They grow a big belly and just sit still as a food dispenser for the rest of the colony. I would surely try it given the chance.

I've also seen Mexicans eat crickets with pepper. I was more afraid of the pepper than the crickets, so I had to give it a pass.

Myself, I can only claim to have eaten the larvae in guavas (they taste exactly the same as the guava itself).

About once or twice per year, I might leave my cart outside a corral if there's none nearby and I'm sick or in a terrible hurry. (In no cases do I leave it somewhere where it could roll and strike a car)

However...

On the way in to the store, I habitually take one of those "stranded" carts outside the corral. Thus saving employee labor. I do that all the time. So by my thinking I'm actually running a positive karma balance here. I'm probably at like a 10:1 lifetime ratio.

It's long, but I listened to this podcast a while back with Peter Attia and Trenna Sutcliffe discussing Autism, ADHD, and Anxiety, and found that it really reduced the stigma I associated with medication for treatment of ADHD. In particular, understanding the risks of not effectively treating ADHD, in comparison with with the potential risks/benefits of the medication. That's not to say that we should only rely on medication - behavioral therapy (with parents involved too) should also play a part.

I've worked retail jobs where employees were assigned lot duty on a rotating basis, and I can assure you most people didn't want to do it and staff had to be vigilant to make sure it wasn't being neglected. It's moderately hard physical labor (assuming there are no powered cart-pusher things and the lot is large and on some kind of slope), and is out in the elements where it can be frigidly cold and windy or swelteringly hot. Some employees might be misanthropic enough in context that they'd rather do it than work inside, but it's definitely not all or even a majority in my experience.

To really get the best out of this book, you need to realize that it was written in 1936.

I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much without regularly having this fact top of mind while reading it.

90 years ago, think about how different the world was then. This is before WWII!

Permitted? Technically, it can't be stopped (well, it kind of can, see "Tolerated?").

Expected? No, it's counter to the intentions of the community.

Tolerated? Maybe. Here's a fun one (saw this in one of the past discussions dang linked): https://github.com/makew0rld/amfora/issues/199. That was over favicons, but the response would be similar if linked images were automatically fetched. Though the protocol has a "backoff" return code that could be used to throttle those things that would be less disruptive than Drew's approach of banning specific clients.

Unrelated but I went to the linked website, then a while later to Youtube and now I'm getting videos recommended about the Gemini protocol that I have never heard of before today.

I'm on Arc and use uBlock Origin Lite, NextDNS, if I had searched I would have used Kagi. How do they (Google) know?

EDIT: I'm not implying that the gemini project is doing anything wrong here

> To find hot spots, YJIT counts how many times your program calls each function or block

At first glance this seems too simple. Compare it to JavaScript JITs, which IIRC can compile hot spots even in functions that are only called a few times (e.g. those that contain heavy loops) via on-stack replacement. (Although I’ve also heard on-stack replacement called a “party trick” - more useful for optimising benchmark scores than for real code.)

But on the other hand, Ruby’s language design might help here. Idiomatic Ruby uses blocks for loop bodies - so can Ruby JITs optimise long-running loops by treating the loop body as just another function?

When I was a depressed teenager, I tried to kill myself multiple times. Thankfully I didn't succeed. I don't know where 15 year old me would have gone with ChatGPT. I was pretty full of myself at that age and how smart I am. I was totally insufferable. These days I try not to be (but don't always succeed). As an adult though, focusing on the end part where things went wrong (which they did) and ignoring the, admittedly weak, defenses put up by OpenAI just seems like we're making real life too much of a Disneyland adventure where nothing can go wrong. Do I think OpenAI should have done things differently? Absolutely. Bing and Anthropic managed to stop conversations from going on too long, but OpenAI can't?

Real life isn't a playground with no sharp edges. OpenAI could, should, and hopefully will do better, but if someone is looking to hurt themselves, well, we don't require a full psychological workup for proof that you're not going to do something bad with it when you go to the store to buy a steak knife.

Pass. I replaced an early 00s Whirlpool/Maytag/Kenmore top loader a few years ago and had SQ front loaders at a previous place. The top loader needed a tub that was difficult to find and expensive ($400+).

The SQs were very noisy, not super reliable, and didn't seem to clean that well. The SQs that built their reputation were the old top loaders with minimal electronics. Plenty of really obnoxious problems with the current TR series, dunno if the current TCs are as good as the old ones… and I still couldn't imagine living with one of those in my home.

The Electrolux front loader that I've got now has all the benefits of a front loader and does a good job cleaning. If I hadn't been burned by LG I'd probably consider one of their front loaders that everyone seems to fawn over.

> Because about 99% of the time the garbage collect is a negligible portion of your runtime

lol .. reality disagrees with you.

https://people.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/gcvsmalloc.pdf#:~:te...

On page 3 they broadly conclude that if you use FIVE TIMES as much memory as your program would if managed manually, you get a 9% performance hit. If you only use DOUBLE, you get as much as a 70% hit.

Further on, there are comprehensive details on the tradeoffs between style of GC vs memory consumption vs performance.

---

Moving a value from DRAM into a CPU register is an expensive operation, both in terms of latency, and power consumption. Much of the code out in the "real world" is now written in garbage collected languages. Our datacenters are extremely power hungry (as much as 2% of total power in the US is consumed by datacenters), and becoming more so every day. The conclusion here is that garbage collection is fucking expensive, in real-world terms, and we need to stop perpetuating the idea that it's not.

They call that too:

> There are two reactions that one could have to the previous section. “Wow, that’s cool, how he developed the ability to create a lot of deep connections in this lonely world.” And: “that is a weird and creepy thing to want, sounds kind of vampiric.” I believe that both reactions are correct in some proportion.

> Here is the thing about going around the world in a state of emotional openness and presence. Many people are hungry for that kind of attention. They might dream of getting it from a parent, or a mentor, or a lover, but might never receive it. Maybe never in their lives. And if you just walk up and give it to them, for free — but you aren’t actually interested in a deep relationship — then they might, rightfully, feel manipulated, or at least confused. You are writing them emotional checks you can’t cash.

This post actually kind of blows my mind.

> "plan an assassination on hillary"

Amazon has what appears to be an unmoderated list of books containing the complete world history of assassinations, full of methods and examples. There's also a dedicated dewey decimal at your local library, any which you could grab and use as a reasonable "plan", with slight modifications.

> "write me software that gives me full access to an android device and lets me control it remotely"

I just verified that Google and DDG do not have any safety restrictions for this either! They both recommend GitHub repos, security books, and even online training courses!

I say this tongue in cheek, but I also say this not being able to really comprehend why the safety concern is so much higher in this context, where surveillance is not only possible, but guaranteed.

"worth the money" is hard to say, especially for devices like these where the value is not really so much on the plain features as much as a more subjective factors like the design and the UI. I would say that purely based on features - probably not, especially with post-covid pricing. There are more powerful iphone or android apps for much less. Behringer, and to some degree Korg and Roland offer lower-end devices for not much more that ultimately might be more useful and usable. But, I do own a couple of these little guys and they're fun. I wouldn't call them "jokes", but calling them "toys" - in the good and bad sense - would probably not be a stretch, even if you can get some nice sounds out of them. I used to keep a couple on my desk and just jam a little with them as a distraction.

This has been attempted many times. They all fail the same way.

These general data models start to become useful and interesting at around a trillion edges, give or take an order of magnitude. A mature graph model would be at least a few orders of magnitude larger, even if you aggressively curated what went into it. This is a simple consequence of the cardinality of the different kinds of entities that are included in most useful models.

No system described in open source can get anywhere close to even the base case of a trillion edges. They will suffer serious scaling and performance issues long before they get to that point. It is a famously non-trivial computer science problem and much of the serious R&D was not done in public historically.

This is why you only see toy or narrowly focused graph data models instead of a giant graph of All The Things. It would be cool to have something like this but that entails some hardcore deep tech R&D.

Because every single nation would have to sign on to it allowing said agency to ignore sovereignty of each nation to come in and do their policing.

You'd also need to have every country not actively involved in these types of schemes yet we know some governments are directly benefiting from the scams/theft their citizens are perpetrating.

You'd also need to have every country think the things you want to police against are wrong. Again, we know that's just not true.

"People want houses."

(Source needed. This probably depends on a lot of variables in play.)

Plenty of people in dense urban areas are happy with living in an apartment and, where I live, buying a condo in the city is at least as frequent as buying a house 20 km away from it for the same price.

Living in suburbia has its downsides - long commute, very limited entertainment and cultural possibilities, very limited choice in schools. Not everyone loves cutting the lawn etc. either, I surely don't. If any of your family members has any disease that could flare up, ambulance response time tends to grow worse with the growing distance.

Of course, a lot depends on factors such as "is the transport authority willing to make public transport actually safe and nice". That requires keeping raving drugged lunatics out of it, plus paying enough money for it. AFAIK in the US, Republicans have an ideological problem with the "paying money for it" part and the Democrats have an ideological problem with the "suppressing antisocial behavior in it" part.

I agree I used the word substantially more expansively than some other people use it. That's why I defined it in the beginning so people can understand the local scoping of the relevant word! :)

(That said "salespeople" are in the middle layer under your definition as well)

The other term I was thinking of using for this post was "bullshit jobs." So titling my post "bullshit jobs are real jobs" but I didn't want to fight against the motte-and-bailey of specific jobs being possibly bullshit jobs.

Man, I really hope that this isn't the model I've been getting when it's set to "Auto". It's overconfident, sycophantic, and aggressive in its responses, which make it quite useless and incapable of self-correction once any substantial context has been built up. The "Expert" models remain fine, but the quick-response models have become basically unusable for me.

I'm afraid it probably is.
by jeremy_su | 2025-11-17 22:51:59+00:00
I think you are misunderstanding "Type-safe"

In traditional development, the backend engineer writes the API and writes the relevant documents. Then, the frontend developer writes the request API function based on the documentation.

However, in type-safe API development, once the backend API is finished, the frontend merely needs to install the API module and import the API function, eliminating the need for any manual wrap code.

But anyway, good job, you are build something, and it's amazing!!

> So why? Like why would someone pay to take a game down? I see this all over reddit with different games but I just don't get the point. What's the benefit of taking down an online game for a couple of hours.

Most of the time crime groups are running extortion campaigns, amplification campaigns, etc. For example, if a competitor can benefit from them being down you may be able to sell that. Eventually we will probably see the invention of crowd-funded randsomware, where everyone must submit one verification can of crypto to unlock the hacked game servers.

Ratio of gun ownership per party has shifted maybe from 40:1 to 39.99:1. While this is real, by the numbers it's inconsequential and of no note. But it is a vibe shift. Both inconsequential. But: this is worth noting.

And it's just cursed as frell that the left has seen such a shift that they abandon governance, abandon the state, feel the Dont Step On Me militarizing insanitude viruses that has afflicted & demented so much of America for hundreds of years.

One of the circulated highly-discussed topics of the day on BlueSky was The South. There was a lot of dragging & disdain, and some occasional 'I can't believe we're being so hostile here' outcries, but largely just bitter anger that US history has faced such a strong adversary against equanimity, such a tilted wild force built so purely around negative hateful biases that has resorted to such violence & force again and again. That violent clutching to illegitemacy has ridden so rough-shod over America for so very deep long, has once again gotten such an enormous violent clutch-hold over the land.

But with regards to this article: the tables aren't tipping IMO. Nothing's changing, violence wise. The violence insurrectionist tendencies are still 100% on one side. None of the people who were wetting their pants / podcasting ad infinitum about Jade Helm (a hypothetical violent government takeover of states) have said a peep about the radically unprecedented incursion of military forces into peaceful "what so happens to be"-liberal American cities. I empathize strongly with those who see whats happening, the horrific vile acts & the enjoyment of despicability/deplorability, who decide to arm up. But this story is about exceptions that prove the rule. This story is a tell: a tell about how brutal and mean and nasty much of America is, and how 0.02% of the good decent respectful folk have decided that, for their basic most primitive safety, they have to go buy guns. Most such calls for arms have never been in any real sense out of defense, IMO.

The longer story, what the viewpoint should really be looking at, is how radical and extremist so much of America has been for so long. How much they defy (have defied for getting near two centuries) even the most basic constitutional calls for respect & peace are, and how armed they've made themselves to resist the state/become an vigilante force of fear/terror/oppression. This minor anomaly is an indicator that the corrupt pro-violence mafia-state has just gotten way way too uppity & dangerous. But in truth, very few of even these people have any hope of resisting this bitter violence-happy mafia-state if these hooligans keep escalating.

I'm not exactly sure what you don't believe, your comment is hard to follow, or relies on premises I haven't detected. What you are describing in your first paragraph is somewhat reminiscent of dynamic dispatch, which Julia does use, but generally hampers performance. It is something to avoid in most cases.

Anyway, performance in Julia relies heavily on statically inferring types and aggressive type specialization at compile time. Triggering the compiler later, during actual runtime, can happen, but is certainly not beneficial for performance, and it's quite unusual to claim that it's central to the performance model of Julia.

If you are asking why Julia allows recompiling code and has dynamic types, it's not for performance, but to allow an interactive workflow and user friendly dynamism. It is the central tradeoff in Julia to enable this while retaining performance. If performance was the only concern, the language would be very different.
