You can create named API keys, and easily delete them. Unfortunately you can't seem to put spend limits on specific API keys.

If you're not using the API for serious stuff though it's not a big problem, as they moved to pre-paid billing recently. Mine was sitting on $0, so I just put in a few bucks to use with this site.

BTW, I remembered interest fact, that on some particle accelerators run experiments on accelerate macro-objects, like dust.

Latest accelerators are not very suited for such activity, but earlier linear accelerators works well on this, and give very interesting data.

Regardless of one's opinions on if MAID is a good idea, it seems unfair to regard it as a "cause of death". Wouldn't that be more correctly attributable to the underlying condition?
It will definitely be controversial, yes. I think even now in its infancy, porn is one of those topics that causes servers to draw lines in terms of federation, so it will definitely intensify if/when Reddit purges porn.

But at the same time, I doubt all instances will clamp down and ban it. It brings a lot of traffic and I'm sure many moderators have strong free speech vallues and will defend it under that banner. It's extra work but some will take it up. There will most definitely be NSFW-dedicated instances in the worst case.
A lot of bot traffic is just mindless "follow any link" traffic, not specialized bots to do X. It really is hugely pointless and wasteful to have tons of these bots request tons of comparatively expensive search links.

Python has mutable data structures by default and you cannot have multi-line lambdas. The interpreter cannot optimise common functional patterns, so you pay a heavy perf cost. I could be wrong, but last I checked there is no TCO. Python is not even close to a proper FP language.

In fact it looks like this is indeed a breach of at least EU law:

"The universal service obligation (USO) is the core of the Postal Services Directive (97/67/EC, amended by Directives 2002/39/EC and 2008/6/EC). This is the requirement that letters and parcels should be delivered to each home or business premises, on 5 days each week, throughout each EU country (with exemptions)."

I’ve also noticed a lot of consistency issues on their site recently.

Open PR; someone comments-doesn’t show up no matter how many hard refreshes, browser restarts, etc. Push a commit to your branch - doesn’t show up in the PR, but shows up in the commit history. If you have auto-merge ticked, it might never merge even when it meets the conditions, and if the branch merges you won’t know, because again, the PR never updates and it still looks open.

I have these issues- in varying degrees of duration and severity- about once a week.
I learned the hard way recently that my attempt at visualizing pin states on prototype boards using LEDs without current limiting resistors was a bad idea: it caused the LED to light up when the output pin was turned HIGH, but the downstream receiver of the pin didn't register the HIGH because the LED stole too many volts

I only figured this out after building and tearing down my prototype and reassembling each of the modular bits, verifying they worked, and then noticing it didn't work after integration until I removed the LEDs. I have since learned I also could have used a buffer driver or LED driver, alkthough that adds more complexity to my simple prototype.

(in case you're wondering, yes, I know you're supposed to use a current limiting resistor, but I've also observed that my 5mm LEDs work just fine when given regulated 5V, they end up dropping 4.6V and consuming 40mA, which is about double the current they are rated for.)

I'm from a large city (but not the largest) in Canada and $200/hour or higher is common for high end devs, architects, and project managers. I charged $200/hour twenty years ago. These days I'd charge $250-300/hour if I was a contractor. It is not extravagant in most of North America, but again, it is a rate for higher end talent. I have not charged less than $150/hour since the 90s.

I once had some contractors in my team that were paid $500/hour due to vendor markup. I consider that extravagant.
Musk puts himself in the cultural spotlight. It's no accident on his part, nor some plot by others. He enjoys the attention and trades on it as part of his development of wealth and power. Some of his contemporary and historical peers keep to elite circles and making boardroom deals, others to rallying public attention as part of the leverage they bring. He's unquestionably of the latter sort.

Because of that, people are intensely interested in the melodrama of his public life, and a capitalist or populist media would be foolish not to cover it. The theatricality of it all is his brand and something that he intentionally and specifically cultures. Where and if media organizations do develop a bias of unduly vilifying him, it's because he explicitly invites them to play that role.

Whatever you think of him, he's no victim.

Wasmer is a VC company building a platform that depends on the existence of these platform APIs – sockets, threads, forking, etc. They have a vested interest in the existence of these APIs, and the health of the developer ecosystem, to stay alive. From here, it kind of seems like the fundamental foundation of everything Wasmer is building.

Meanwhile, Bytecode Alliance is a registered non-profit with many large corporate backers. They are building out the WASI standard with careful due diligence to learn from and avoid the mistakes we have found in POSIX. BCA has their own financial incentives, and they are aligned differently than yours.

BCA ultimately is moving slower than works for Wasmer. So I guess you were faced with three options: A) wait for BCA, and do nothing B) work with BCA and push it forward C) fork it and do it yourself.

So you chose to fork it and reimplement POSIX with all its warts. I assume because this applies pressure to the community (candidly, a good thing) while letting you make progress immediately.

Where I, and I assume others, have issue with all of this is:

You have chosen a name that has created confusion in an already confusing space.

You have whitewashed it by promoting it as a new open standard, but the controlling entity realllyy is just Wasmer[0].

You have demonstrated through your actions a complete lack of willingness to work with people in the community, preferring to strong-arm with veiled threats[1] or perverting incentives financially[2].

The issue isn't with WASIX, but with you and your actions. I have no confidence in your ability to lead this community forward in a way that has my (our) interests ahead of your company's.

I remember 2012, ASP.NET MVC Razor pages, combined with individual page knockout Js. Actually worked quite well. Infact that system is still running for that company. Sure we could have made a angularJS 1.0 SPA at the time, but knockout meant we only had to apply the pattern to the pages that needed it.
One reason this is good is that the default gpt4-vision UI is so insanely bad and slow. This just lets you use your capacity faster.

Rate limits are really low by default - you can get hit by 5 img/min limits, or 100 RPD (requests per day) which I think is actually implemented as requests per hour.

This page has info on the rate limits: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/usage-ti...

Basically, you have to have paid X amount to get into a new usage cap. Rate limits for dalle3/images don't go up very fast but it can't hurt to get over the various hurdles (5$, 50$, 100$) as soon as possible for when limits come down. End of the month is coming soon. It looks like most of the "RPD" limits go away when you hit tier 2 (having paid at least 50$ historically via API to them).

"A lot of people think it's because they're woke. It's not even that - they're just bad movies."

That may be just an aftereffect of woke.

The younger generation is heavily exposed to ideas like "you must not offend anyone ever, otherwise your career is over" or "teams must be diverse first and foremost, results don't matter as much, but you must tick all the required identity boxes".

I would say that numeric should be weighted from "tools you practically can't do anything without", like screwdrivers or hammers, to "tools that are so specialized or expensive that almost no one has one or would ever need it, like electron microscopes or luthier specific tools like horse glue.

Then vertically they should be sorted by type or tool focus, hand tool, electric tool, gear tool, glues and wedgers, focus on wood working, focus on automobile, focus on construction, and so on.

Right now the current one is too higgledy-piggledy to make any sense of. It needs organization.

> every finite number is computable by definition

Every finite integer is computable. We often represent non-integer numbers.

> your encodings will, unlike those in the lambda calculus, be completely arbitrary

Well, they /may/ be completely arbitrary. They may not be. The key is to choose encodings that are useful for the problem domain. Admittedly if the problem domain is "winning at the schoolyard game of saying a bigger number," those encodings may look arbitrary for most other purposes.

But there's actually an intent to my original comment besides being pedantic. The most general way to think of a 64-bit numeric representation is as a list of 2^64 numbers, feeding into a 2^64:1 mux, with the 64-bit string being the select bits of the mux. (Or, equivalently, a 2^64 entry x arbitrary width ROM with one number per entry, with the 64-bit string being the address input of the ROM. Same thing.) The two questions you must answer, then, are (a) which 2^64 numbers are most useful in your problem domain; and (b) are there hardware optimizations to reduce the (ridiculous) scale of the mux/ROM model that are so valuable that you're willing to make compromises on which numbers you select?

Well, first off I'm going to say "citation needed", but secondly, I haven't had a single transmissible illness since I started wearing KN95 whenever I'm around people indoors. This includes going to crowded markets, trans-continental flights, a recent concert... Of course, wearing some flimsy loose thing that barely even covers your face (like those "surgical" masks that are typically handed out) is certainly going to be of limited usefulness. A decently-fitting N95/KN95 , well.. it works.
Yeah GitHub doesn't like when you do frequent polling over hooks but you pretty much need to have something polling (infrequently) to catch undelivered hooks.

"I recently set up rclone to do nightly backups of my entire OneDrive to Dropbox ..."

I hope it is interesting / useful for you to learn that you can maintain a workflow like this without ever installing rclone.

1. Malignant neoplasms (aka cancerous tumor) 82,412

2. Diseases of heart 57,357

3. COVID-19 19,716

4. Accidents (unintentional injuries) 18,365

Note: the list also has an "Other causes of death" at 78,354 but that's not one specific thing so can't be included in the ranking

Some age statistics regarding COVID deaths from their own analysis: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/231127/dq231...

> The proportion of COVID-19 deaths among older Canadians aged 65 years and older rose to 91.4% in 2022, approaching early pandemic levels. This increase was largely felt by seniors aged 80 years and older, who experienced a 78.2% increase in COVID-19 deaths from 2021 to 2022. In contrast, deaths due to COVID-19 decreased to 8.6% for those younger than 65 years in 2022.

So this is hitting 80+ people the hardest, then 65+... but under 65 has gone down.

>They are breaking the law.

Wait, I'm super confused by this. If they really are breaking the law why isn't the government shutting them down instead of the unions striking? Isn't that the job of the government, to make sure every company follows the law?

In my country, if you don't follow the law, the government institutions don't even let you open up shop, the unions are only there to negociate yearly wage increases, but following the law is a must and a given from the start. If you're a company and don't follow the law you get inspections, lawsuits and fines from the state institutions.

So how is Tesla even operation in Sweden without following the law in the first place? It feels like there's apiece of context missing here.
The lower bound on the information content of a string is the length of the shortest program that can output the string (and halt), this is called its Kolmogoroff complexity. Lambda calculus is (one of) the most compact ways to encode programs and requires the least context to interpret. Thus it’s totally fair to say that the largest number encoded in LC in some number of bits is much more fundamental and less arbitrary a candidate than just randomly deciding that "1" now refers to some externally defined large number.
> domains where Rust ... [is] already being used

The point is that Rust usage is still quite limited. This is a bit like C++ and D, two decades back; or perhaps even Scala and Java. The analogy isn't perfect, but the point is you had a language with a lot of potential usability-domain overlap which addressed some or many pain points and failures of the older, more popular language - but the older language embraced some of the alternative ideas, adopted them in a more-or-less compatible way, and made it not-attractive-enough to switch. So the newer languages lost momentum, and at least in the case of D - stopped gaining users and eventually sank into oblivion.

> other safer languages ... won't rewrite back into C++.

I mostly agree. Except... that some safe languages, like Java, pay for safety with a lot of overhead. And Dennard scaling is over. So, over time, there is some pressure to replace Java, or maybe C# code with something closer-to-the-metal. But we'll see.

The images were generated via DALL-E - so they're not technically "autogenerated". They were created using a generative model, however.

The content itself definitely was not generated by an LLM - although that feels like a low-effort comment =/ What in particular felt LLM-generated to you?
