This is an interesting idea.. do you use agents with more adversarial / cynical prompts whose only job is approving api calls? "You are an API approval agent on the lookout for suspicious or unusual stripe api calls...."

This looks great - how much of it is open source, could I host it all myself? wouldn't be interested in investing any time learning if I'm locked in to hosting on some else's hardware.

I tried the chatbot. jarring to see a large response come back instantly at over 15k tok/sec

I'll take one with a frontier model please, for my local coding and home ai needs..

this is correct :)

Did this with policy based routing in my opnsense (pfsense) router a couple of weeks ago. egress via a specific tailscale exit node for a list of domains including Imgur.

Also browsing Minecraft mods/shaders was my motivation ha.

I would love to pay for youtube premium, but i have a google workspace/apps/own-domain/whatever the hell they call it now account, and loads of stuff (like youtube premium) isn't supported.

Will definitely need to tone down the American Corporate Alacrity for the UK market..

Many opponents to the bill have been very cagey about their reasons for opposing it, and eventually admit it's for nebulous "religious reasons".

Personally I'd like the right to die with dignity if I were unfortunate enough to find myself facing horrible, imminent, certain death.

I'm glad it passed and I hope it makes it into law.

neat! any support for efficient spatial queries?

Using Google assistant via a home mini and nest mini has generally gotten worse, not better, over the last few years. I can't wait to bin them and replace with something else that works well with home assistant and setting timers.

spent so many hours playing this years ago.. great memories. too bad it doesn't seem to support inverting mouse y-axis or changing keybindings. too much muscle memory to overcome.

API for the server example looks... actually good, wow. Nice job!

Also tickled to see my erlang 1M comet blog post referenced. A lifetime ago now, pre-websockets.

When we set up user content storage of images and mp3s for Last.fm back in 2006ish we used MogileFS (from the bradfitz LJ perl days) running on our own hardware. 3/4/5/6u machines stuffed full of disks. I still think it's an elegant concept – easy to grok, easy to debug, easy to reason about. No special distributed filesystem to worry about.

Don't take this as an endorsement of the MogileFS perl codebase in 2021, but worth considering this style of storage system depending on your precise needs.

Interesting. Shame there's no pricing info published.

first character has to be a letter... are they storing them unquoted in yaml files?

You're not dead until you're warm and dead, as the saying goes.

If you have to click the key fob (the default) to unlock the car, you are safe from this attack, and don't have to upgrade your keyfobs.

A firmware update deactivated the touchless entry feature and warned about this ages ago.

Mid-2012 MBP with SSD, retina, and 16gb here.

I've got an HDMI port, SD card reader, two USB ports, two thunderbolt ports, magsafe power, and a proper, reliable keyboard.

I despair at the current crop of mac hardware. If this machine dies on me before some decent mac hardware arrives, I'm not sure what i'll do - but it definitely won't involve buying a new macbook with the touchbar, stupid keyboards, and no ports.

if you delete the key near the code that sets/smears it, it's easy to just delete the range of keys: key1, key2, key3.. as needed

You can send all such commands to memcached at once, so you don't suffer more than one round-trip to multi-delete.

Random irccloud/quassel anecdote for you: when I started working on what is now irccloud, I was originally just going to write a (mobile-)web front end for quassel core, since I was using Quassel on KDE at the time (and had been for some time). This predates Quasseldroid I think, at least I don't remember there being a good mobile app for quassel back then.

The protocol between the quassel core and clients looked to be some sort of serialized Qt objects (iirc), so I abandoned that idea and wrote the irc client backend in erlang, with a json protocol.

Shoutout to the Last.fm robots.txt, which contains this:

    Disallow: /harming/humans
    Disallow: /ignoring/human/orders
    Disallow: /harm/to/self

I would like phones to support a duress finger. If you try to unlock with your duress fingerprint, it disables fingerprint access, requiring your long password.

This is cool. I hesitate to install it on my phone.. does it send everything I type to a webservice in order to suggest emoji?

Wow

There's a WIP spec for batched messages, which will be useful to group netsplit-related join/part messages, and for history playback: http://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/batch/chathistory-3.3.html

IRCCloud will be happy to support this as a client in due course. We also run our own custom IRCd for teams, which gives us a nice testing ground for implementing new bits of the server spec.

Seems like a good analysis of Meteor's shortcomings.

I did some research on related areas a few months ago. My ideal stack at the moment would involve:

* redux or cerebral with immutable model

* react

* css modules

* webpack

* a realtime-enabled version of falcor, which doesn't exist yet.

The last bit is still the missing piece for realtime, as far as i'm aware. Neither GraphQL not Falcor seem to been designed with realtime model updates (via websocket) in mind.

"replacing symptoms with side-effects".

Yes we're on 0.9.12, will be upgrading asap :)

thanks for replying 👍
