CryptoTalks.ai is a public API and browser chat app that allows you to use popular paid and free LLM APIs anonymously. AI is super powerful, and so it's important that its access is free and private as possible so everyone can participate in its benefits. I built cryptotalks.ai to bring access to AI to those who aren't part of the traditional financial system or those that prefer to maintain their privacy.
Most LLM API providers require you to sign in with non-private authentication methods like Google, and validate with email or SMS. Cryptotalks requires none of that because cryptocurrency is the only accepted form of payment.

In the future, I hope to host fully homomorphic encrypted models, which will enable users to query LLMs without the provider seeing the unencrypted query entirely. This would be a big step in digital privacy, but is currently out of reach for LLMs.

I welcome everyone's feedback, and hope someone finds this useful.

> The wall is a red herring.

This is not how safety works.

> Something bad is going to happen if you do that at any runway on earth.

Then the question is can we do any sort of engineering to reduce the number of fatalities that might occur when this _inevitably_ happens.

> Stop looking at the wall and look at the minutes before the crash.

The plane hit the wall and exploded. The wall seems pretty important here. I mean, yes, there are also other problems to solve, but solving them does not let you off the hook here.
Really? You think you need to pay $50 a day on food to maintain good health?
I wish I had a personal staff like that!

We do have a couple of hours of cleaning help once a week but other than that my partner and I split the chores.
> It may be ethical as far as not charging users to connect

Actually, I think "charging users to connect" is the only way to make an ethical dating app. The key thing is, everyone pays the same amount, and gets the same abilities within the platform. No freemium, no free riders. Everyone helps keep the platform sustainable.

You do still have to deal with the perverse incentive to keep people on the platform, but I have an even crazier idea for that: one-time single payment. Now the platform is incentivized to get people off the platform while still being satisfied enough to recommend it to incoming users. I suspect that could go badly in different ways, and might not be necessary if it's generally acting in the users' favor (possibly because of my craziest idea, having it be user-owned). I'm still thinking about it.

That or someone needs to run it as a charity. I'm not sure if that's more or less crazyb than the previous ideas.
It says that the first couple spent $20,000 on bulbs 3 years ago which gives them a $25,000 harvest, and have somehow made $1 million from this. There seems to be some information missing.

For me, it’s the opposite. I’m never very happy with anything I make but when somebody makes something for me, it tastes amazing.

Wishing to remain anonymous is not "kid tactics"

Trying to mock someone for the absolutely valid tactic of wanting to be anonymous due to the very real threat of life-ruining retaliation is extremely childish and short-sighted.
The message is also that consumerism is driven by demand creation - and that demand creation takes its toll on both the demander and the buyer.
Feels like an honor to be able to ask. I've appreciated your work for a few years now especially on the Apollo gear restoration.

Anyway, question on the ones you thought were wrong (I think "just" the trig functions). Is there a running system you can use that can be used to confirm your findings? Especially considering your previous post on the pentium division bug, maybe they got this wrong too?
Induced demand is good. People just complain about it with cars due to what they claim are excessive environmentally detrimental externalities.
I looked up the AA 1420 crash report (linked from Wikipedia) and it says:

https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/...

> The calculated ground trajectory indicated that the flight 1420 airplane
departed runway 4R at about 97 knots and impacted the runway 22L approach lighting system support structure at about 83 knots.

97 knots is 112 mph. Somewhere below another commenter said Jeju Air 2216 left the runway at about 160 knots (184 mph). It's a pretty big difference.

I'm no expert, but my guess is that the main distinguishing factor of all the accidents where most/all survived is not the lack of killer berms, but the speed of the plane when it left the runway.
Listened today. Nice work, I really like these kind of stories (small time internet success stories). I don't know if your podcast has others, as it seems like you're mostly focused on the tech stack of sites. Some of my favourite HN posts are the common "What's your tech side hustle?" posts. I love hearing the stories of people making a bit of side cash on small little sites. Some examples I can think of (however, both are much bigger now) is the Vileda Onions guy, bingo card creator and the wedding table name tag site.

The trust is also hard because it are selling at 30-100 year product. If your company goes bankrupt than they buyer might be forced to spend a lot of money replacing the elevator. Think fiskar electric cars except much more expensive and harder to replace.

Yeah. Also I don't know how good the Tesla cameras are but my car has a reversing camera and it's ok for going back 2m at 2mph but kind of terrible compared to looking forward through the windscreen.
What exactly does "anything oil-like" mean? What substance are you proposing canola oil is made of?
Einstein's wonderful book Relatvity clarified (sort of) this for me. It's not too hard to develop an intuition about special relativity, but GR is a whole other ball of wax.

> Failure to pass signifies a near-total inability to adapt or problem-solve in unfamiliar situations.

Not necessarily. Get a human to solve ARC-AGI if the problems are shown as a string. They'll perform badly. But that doesn't mean that humans can't reason. It means that human reasoning doesn't have access to the non-reasoning building blocks it needs (things like concepts, words, or in this case: spatially local and useful visual representations).

Humans have good resolution-invariant visual perception. For example, take an ARC-AGI problem, and for each square, duplicate it a few times, increasing its resolution from X*X to 2X*2X. To a human, the problem will be almost exactly equally difficulty. Not for LLMs that have to deal with 4x as much context. Maybe for an LLM if it can somehow reason over the output of a CNN, and if it was trained to do that like how humans are built to do that.
It means:

• if you are lucky enough to live until old, you'll likely need an elevator.
• if you are unlucky enough to die young, you'll likely not need an elevator.
The article barely mentions unions which are a driver of extra cost. The International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) requires that elevators be assembled on-site rather than prefabricated in many cases for job security.
This isn't a good answer but I don't have a single spot. I usually think "huh, I'd like to make X" then try and find what I believe to be the most traditional/classic recipe that I can via search engine. From there I'll make it (possibly with a few modifications) and it usually takes a few tries at most to get something that's at least a 7/10. I'm also in the somewhat unique position of being a single dude that's looking tasty food in bulk with good macros which are goals that are sometimes at odds with each other - recipe sites usually don't target all three.

One thing you might try is signing up for a meal kit service using their introductory offers. You can go a month or two doing this while never paying full price via the discounts and it's a good way to try a bunch of different dishes. Save the recipe cards for the stuff you like then contrast them with other internet recipes or ask an LLM for ideas. Once you've done this enough you'll build up an informal database of things you like to make and a framework for how to do it without having to resort to step-by-step instructions.

This new version of LogLayer was actually created because someone requested OTEL support. Unfortunately I'm not too knowledgable about the OTEL ecosystem (outside of using / implementing the DataDog APM tooling) to know where the integration points could be on a broader-basis.

Although I lack experience, this version of LogLayer allows people to build their own transports / plugins that someone with experience and familiarity in this space can build a LogLayer integration.

That being said, I'll definitely start reading more into it with the link you provided and any other resources would be appreciated!
> Developer B thinks A's game is a bit too similar and decides to sue.

Unless you are one of A or B I don't see why you care. As well, I doubt you can preclude this possibility via a code license.

> Another option is GPL, but I don't want to stop commercial usage

The GPL (despite what commercial entities incorrectly proclaim) does not stop commercial usage. It simply stops (if enforced) those commercial entities from hiding their additions from the world resulting in creation of a proprietary variant.

If that's the point I'll disagree. My 84 year old mother is still climbing the stairs. If we're lucky we'll never need an elevator, though we might like one for the sake of convenience.
“I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes” - Thoreau
I think the difference between this and Jacques Cousteau's ConShelf in the 1960's and the saturation diving habitats used today is the depth and duration? Cousteau's group spent weeks at 10m and the saturation diving habitats are meant for living in for a few days at a time until your shift is over.

They do not explain anywhere why you would want to live at 200m, where it's dark and boring and you sound squeaky all the time. Living at 10m I totally get, especially in somewhere like the Red Sea.

whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading. but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well... hmmm..I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress
You are supposed to eat at least one pound of uncooked vegetables daily to be healthy.
>happy medium, like $20/day

I grew up comfortable. My wife and I each make six figures. But I still think it's bewildering that eating $140/person/week is considered "medium", not by you personally, but by a lot of people. Clearly I'm biased because I experienced what I consider "normal" - my mother cooked for my family nearly every day, and I continue that in a pale imitation - but it is genuinely concerning to me that so few people seem to be home-cooking simple, delicious meals consisting mostly of chicken, fish, pork, pasta, rice, vegetables, etc; with variety in preparation/sauces/spices.
thanks, could definitely consider doing an access point instead of full router replacement

Yet another reason to prefer rural and suburban living. Can't remember the last time I took an elevator.
Generally home eaevators are made of things that don't need inspections. Screws will last for decades without issues and when they fail rescue workers can get you out. Those systems are too slow and expensive for use commercial buildings but good enough for a short house. Thus commercial buildings will use a cable which is cheaper and faster but they stretch and break over time so you must do safety inspection. (a house sized screw is under a grand so not really a big factor in price, but that much cable will get several floors.

some commercial builings use hydraulic elevators which when they break just slowly lower you to the bottom floor . Again much less inspections needed because they are desirned safe. but the slow speed and cost mean only a few floors are possible

A corollary to the second law of thermodynamics is that everything goes to shit over time - including companies and culture.

Even more fun, once you abandon isotropy you don't even need to posit matter inhomogenities. It could just be that spacetime itself has irregular topology.

Which, incidentally, is probably a better theory than dark matter. For example it can produce the same results without the problem of undetectable matter.
>did their research, asked questions, and pushed forward

I think the real lesson is they "just started".
Indeed, I think that in some sense, physics and math (and maybe astronomy) were all born together. The Pythagoreans thought that they were discovering the secrets of the universe. Aristotle wrestled with the difference between physics and math, for instance between an ideal circle and a real physical one. Physics was always an exploration of what aspects of nature could be described mathematically. Development of calculus and differential equations gave physics a gigantic boost. We always want to try out the new toys.

As I mentioned in another post. physics ran out of problems that were solvable by hand with equations roughly a century ago. Feynman managed rooms full of "computers" who were people operating mechanical calculating machines for nuclear physics problems. When digital computers gradually became available, physicists were already waiting in line to use them. Von Neumann promoted government funding of academic computing facilities with an eye towards using the computers for bomb yield calculations.

The software industry gradually began to emerge roughly a decade later.

Ironically, I was "a little math plus some other trade." I learned programming in high school (1981) but had a summer internship at a computing facility and it didn't spark my interest in programming as an occupation, so I majored in math. My other intended trade -- being a rock star -- never materialized, and I ended up with a second major in physics instead. But I've always been an avid programmer, and I do most of my computational and experimental work by coding. All of my fellow physics grad students were coders, and many went into programming when their luck ran out in the grim physics job market.
Note that he said day 1 was Ash Wednesday, which is traditionally a fasting day, and thus he decided to only eat one meal.

That said, the rest of the days didn't look much better. I'm quite a skinny dude, but what he prepared for an entire day was like one meal and a snack for me generally. I suspect the amount of calories on these meals would be well below maintenance level for most people.
Kids may not know how a VPN works under the hood, but they are really good (and fearless) at trying out stuff until it works. Also, kids can communicate, and whoever manages to find a recipe that works will spread it quickly.
It went pretty well. A small amount of extra oxygen needed once during the 2-year period. Ecosystems that shifted in unexpected ways but did not collapse. 100% sealed and self-sustaining is going to be very hard, but 98% is much easier and good enough for many purposes.
> we have conditioned people to think they need to do side projects outside of working 40 hours a week

> If that isn’t available, it’s time to change jobs.

From what I've seen most people want to keep their cake and they want to eat it too. They're not willing to change jobs. They're also not willing to work on anything outside of work. Then they complain that their careers are stagnating.

Then again I'm biased. I work on stuff out side of work and I change jobs every 2-4 years so I can work with new technology.

It isn't that nobody else can it is that navigating them the first time costs alot and so you need to do many to ammortize the costs over. Cars are very regulated but humans buy enough that you can start a new company anyway.
> In SFO you'll end up in the bay or hit the terminal depending on the orientation.

The bay is survivable and I don't think you can hit the terminal. You could possibly hit the freeway though. That said, two of the runways at SFO are 1.5 km longer than the one in Korea.

> In Toronto you'll crash into a highway.

That runway is 1.5 kilometers longer than the one in Korea and it's another kilometer to the highway that sits uphill.
While this is an issue for some smaller programs, for the vast majority of stuff installing and updating programs is just so much easier on Linux than Windows. I don't have to go searching for a download link, I just open up my distro's package manager and search for what I want. One of the major things that has helped Linux is that a lot more things are just web apps now.

What I really think is the unacceptable thing that will hold people from using Linux permanently is the abysmal power management for laptops. I cannot get my Framework 13 to reliably last more than 24 hours with the lid closed when Windows easily lasts multiple days.

Both iPhone and Android devices have dedicated low-power chips for detecting those exact wake words, which then wake up the rest of the phone.

Those chips do not log or transmit the audio they have access to.
Biosphere II is worth a visit. They're still running it as a non-isolated research station. The original had several very specific problems (trees need wind to form strong roots, fresh concrete absorbs a lot of oxygen, their crops besides sweet potatos had serious soil nutrient problems, which meant they spent almost all their time desperately subsistence farming). Based on what they did we could run a Biosphere III today pretty well, which means I would call the Biosphere II experiment successful.
Finally. We should use numerical relativity and simulate using full-fat GR. Not the half-assed approximations.

If you're concerned about dependency confusion attacks you should host your own index and vet what goes on to it.

But there is a better solution coming, PEP 708 was developed for this and is in prototype on pypi.org, so it's an overstatement to say "don't even have a way to avoid dependency confusion attacks ".

It is, however, a non-trivial problem, and more solutions will likely come over the years, many Python packaging tools like uv and poetry (and likely others) have way to name indexes and pin specific packages to indexes, which appears to be a promising UX.

How does the effort to satisfy curiosity keep the engineer down?
That depends. I have known some where they can't do anything so what is the point. However I know many who are no longer able to walk well but they can still do most of their hobbies and so overall still enjoy life.
I did exactly that from 1999-2008. I alluded to that above when I mentioned I became an “expert beginner”. I said never again. That was my 2nd job. I’m now at #10
I probably didn’t even need the personal vouch to realize I likely read this with a lens of heavy disdain for rdd.

I whole heartedly agree that it’s important to keep learning over the course of your career. And I believe you that the author is aware of the nuance. But I think it’s also incredibly easy to read this piece as “add rust to your .net shop because it’s good for your career”.

I don’t know the author. But if I had to pull numbers out of thin air and take a guess, I’d venture 95% of .net shops where an engineer said “let’s do this new thing in rust” was overall a terrible decision for the team and a good decision for the individual engineer, everyone else be damned.

It’s wholly unfair of me to criticize the author specifically without knowing the context of the problem he was solving. My original comment was not worded well, but it was not as directed towards the author as it reads as, but more as a general counter commentary to the point the author was making.

Everything that I need (web servers, dbs, desktop apps) has already been written in C or whatever.

Why should I waste time reinventing the wheel and prefer C to nodejs or something like java in the worst case?

Genuine question.
Let's say the larger TBM can remove 7/4 the debris in the same amount of time. That means it uses 7/4 more carts or has 7/4 bigger carts and uses 7/4 more energy to power those carts. It places 7/4 more wear on the rails and has a higher probability of increased maintenance costs on those rails, let alone the TBM itself. All of this to make the same forward progress in the same amount of time.

Call me stubborn, but I need a better theory to explain why the bigger TBM would be cheaper. You don't get to pretend that larger material removal rates are free. You don't get to pretend that the 7/4 more cutting wheels don't cost more money to replace. The 7/4 more energy to run the TBM isn't free.

Yes, the larger machine would have to have larger material removal rates just to keep up with the smaller machine. But that makes it more expensive, not less.
