I have a vague memory of a computer (probably in the 16 bit era?) saving money on providing two joystick ports by using a DB25 housing with the middle pins removed, leaving two 9 pin clusters at the ends, into which two DE9 joysticks could be plugged. The case plastic covered over the middle of the connector.
> I just saw a video on Reddit where a woman still managed to take a selfie while being literally face to face with a black bear.
This is not uncommon. Bears aren't always tearing people apart, that's a movie trope with little connection to reality. Black bears in particular are smart and social enough to befriend their food sources.
But a hungry bear, or a bear with cubs, that's a different story. Even then bears may surprise you. Once in Alaska, a mama bear got me to babysit her cubs while she went fishing -- link: https://arachnoid.com/alaska2018/bears.html .
We have solved this problem by working with the providers to implement a prices and models API that we scrape, which is how we keep our marketplace up to date. It's been a journey; a year ago it was all happening through conversations in shared Slack channels!
The pricing landscape has become more complex as providers have introduced e.g. different prices for tokens depending on prompt length, caching, etc.
I do believe the right lens on this is actually the price per token by endpoint, not by model; there are fast/slow versions, thinking/non-thinking, etc. that can sometimes also vary by price.
The point of this comment is not to self promote, but we have put a huge amount of work into figuring all of this out, and have it all publicly available on OpenRouter (admittedly not in such a compact, pricing-focused format though!)
> The rest is your bug; the variable values coming out of sync with each other, not maintaining the invariant among their values.
If the language and its runtime let me break their invariant, then that's their bug, not mine. This is the fundamental promise of type-safe languages: you can't accidentally break the language abstraction.
> It could be the case that a thread-unsafe program breaks a managed run-time, but not an unvarnished truth.
I demonstrated that the Go runtime is such a case, and I think that should be considered a memory safety violation. Not sure which part of that you disagree with...
I think using LLMs/AI for pure mathematics is one of the very least ethically fraught use-cases. Creative works aren't being imitated, people aren't being deceived by hallucinations (literally by design; formal proof systems prevent it), from a safety perspective even a superintelligent agent that was truly limited to producing true theorems would be dramatically safer than other kinds of interactions with the world, etc.
I've watched hikaru on kick and the only offensive thing about his stream is how he repeats himself. I don't really like how he says the same thing over and over. Chat, it's kinda starting to bother me how he repeats himself. Yeah I'm starting to think he repeats himself a bit too much for my taste.
“Never again” has been said in a completely different context: fully developed humans killing other developed humans systematically on a huge scale across years.
Don’t confuse ethnic cleanings and genocide with fully voluntary abortions, as sad as they may be.
A gas-based design seems like it would be better at a small scale - e.g. the facility in the link has a reservoir the better part of a mile away from the turbines, and has a max output of 600 MW or so.
CO2 may actually be a good working fluid for the purpose - cheap, non-toxic except for suffocation hazard, and liquid at room temperature at semi-reasonable pressures. I'm not an expert on that sort of thing, though.
I spent years knowing nothing but C and I’d say it handicapped me in many ways. (I recall insisting that it would be impossible to do anything without assignment.)
After getting my eyes opened a little bit, I read SICP and it was mind blowing. I read a little Haskell, wrote a little Clojure and a lot of Scala. And even though the day job now is Java and Python, I’m much better off for having bothered to learn it.
I don't know what you are talking about.
The website [0] is pretty clear that the content of the game can go into a SD card, but the game save resides only in the internal memory.
You can find some ways to get them with some modding but nothing official.
this is great, I've always wanted something like this, do you think you can add other model metadata, like api name (`gemini-2.5-pro`), context length, modalities, etc
>Rather than building a principled broad competitor to something like Steam, you end up cornering yourself into a narrow, highly specific market segment.
Yes, that's the point. Not everyone cares about financial censorship, but the few that do will be your customers.
I find it amusing that you are complaining about not having a computer to click a link while glossing over the fact that you need a computer to use a link at all.
This use case of "I have a paper journal and no PDF but a computer with a web browser" seems extraordinarily contrived. I have literally held a single-digit number of printed papers in my entire life while looking at thousands as PDFs.
This kind of luddite behavior sometimes makes using this site exhausting.
I think 12 years is an underestimate. Lithium-ion batteries will degrade, but they still have usable capacity. There are Tesla Roadsters still going strong, 15 years in. And the battery cell chemistry has since shifted to LFP, which has longer cycle life.
> The US government can break up the duopoly and open up payments processing federally.
Between that and someone actually creating a viable Steam competitor, I will say the government breaking them up and rolling out their own solution would be even less likely. You'd have fights on both sides of the isle and from privacy groups. Not that we have much privacy now under the current scheme, but there's at least a tiny bit of separation between V/MC and the government.
And it still does not help, because the safety only blocks the trigger but not the striker from firing, thus the Air Force incident that started, this topic, became possible.
