[...] They need fed expensive water, or they spread particulates everywhere. [...] That's gloriously clean water, but it represents a money pit that can never be filled up. [...] Sounds nice (is nice), but they're expensive and inefficient (producing 1 liter of RO water wastes in the realm of 3 or 4 liters down the drain). [...] Something I can just feed cheap tap water into, and that I only have to deal with cleaning once a month or something? That sounds like the path of least pain for me in my neck of the woods.
i have definitely observed a similar pattern in the Big Label Foundation Models… so, i’m glad to see it in this realm too <3
[...] seeing the scenes in the blog-post i realize i've ran into it before, but must not have observed the lineage, committed the project to memory, or realized it was so mature there's even a parametric split-keyboard project (what i'm doing too)! the clearances and cutouts in julianschuler/concavum-customizer/.../keyboard/mod.rs[1] are so much like my static, single-file, build123d-based version in antlers/keyboard/.../main.rs[2] u< (though i made the walls out of more layers, photo in README[3]).

I think it is "better" to go with the flow. I can't see TS competing for the data analysis niche any time soon! Maybe try Pixi? [1] Python programming enjoyability really increased for me after using Pixi for dependencies, VSCode+Pylance [2] for editing, and Ruff [3] for formatting. Pixi can install both python and dependencies per project. Then, I add this to .vscode/settings.json: { "python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "strict", "python.defaultInterpreterPath": ".pixi/envs/default/bin/python3" } and I'm all set! -- 1: 2: 3:
Oh man, this is a very interesting take. Indeed, it is definitely the case that this kind of behavior/content gets amplified. When you log in, in some sense, any reality could be crafted just for you, for good or for bad. The overwhelming majority of people are vulnerable to this. What they see == what they think it's real, me included, btw. I once read an article about how the vast majority of dating now begins through an online interaction (say , Tinder), and how also the vast majority of these apps are controlled by 2-3 companies. Think about the massive power they have over everyone else's lives. You want to encourage interracial relationships? Suppress matches within the same race and encourage matches outside of it. (And the opposite could be done, I'm not making a political statement here). These people have the power to completely change the demographic landscape of a country in a couple decades(!). They should be heavily regulated, but far from it, no one is even aware of this. It will only get worse with "AI", unfortunately.
I've been thinking about the flip side of this, the incomprehensible waking life. For me, daily life is an unending series of setbacks, negative reinforcement loops and disappointments. I know going into nearly all endeavors that they will end in some kind of failure, but decide to be brave and enter them anyway. I understand that this is the opposite of manifestation, and that I am creating self-fulfilling prophecies. But feel that a neural net would create a model of reality that matches my lived experience of suffering, so there's a basis in fact here. That this is truly all there is unless something changes. A small example: I decided to go on the Bacon app to see what walk-on gigs are available in my city to raise some quick cash. There are 2: garbage man and warehouse worker. Now, I knew going in that the odds were grim, and that the gigs would be things that nobody wants to do. Had I gone in with a positive mindset, and imagined fun afternoons helping people set up for events or something, is that what I would have received? I just don't know. I've experienced both, but an overwhelming percentage of the time, the negative outcome matches the prediction of my negative mindset. Another small example: the other day I helped an acquaintance with handyman work for $100 for an afternoon, but got a traffic ticket on the way home that skimmed away 2/3 of what I had earned. It was an uncanny reflection of my experience of hustling, similar to movies like The Pursuit of Happyness. Two steps forward and one step back. Another day older and deeper in debt. No win until the end - but the epiphany never comes. Where i'm going with this is that what we think of as "the real world" is the dream. Or in my case, the nightmare, or at the very least the night terror. Whereas in our dreams, we can be anything and do anything. Not only that, our subconscious provides rich plot lines far more creative than what our ego comes up with as it co-creates this 3D realm. I often wonder if
Yes, that is true, I was assuming that any LLM code was going to be checked by the developer. Step 7 in the guide is "review your code and ensure the important logic commented in the example server is still present". The LLM is only for converting the JS based example code into your language X and HTTP framework Y (instead of giving example code for every combination of X and Y). The standard implementation is in a single file httpserver.ts, which is around 200 lines of well commented code, with important logic commented (around 5 lines). The example code can be run locally with a few commands. The repo also contains a sequence diagram [1], a description of the HTTP handlers needed [2], and a live demo [3] where you can see the request/responses. Thanks for your feedback I have made this clearer in the readme. - [1] - [2] - [3]
[...] I'm sure there'll be an uptick in YT and IG but now 170M MAU worth.
Oh yes. It was one of my formative childhood experiences. My first mud was Alter Aeon, but I haven't played in almost 10 years. I enjoyed myself during the 5 years or so that I played and got to know a lot of people. The first first thing I ever programmed was a bot to automatically heal group members. Then Empire Mud, but I left due to disagreements with the admin. I loved the concept but it didn't really have the playerbase to support it. More recently, I was on Procedural Realms. But I was affected by 3 separate instances of data corruption / loss, the last of which resulted in an unplanned pwipe since there were no offsite backups and the drive on the server failed. Years of progress gone due to lack of backups, so I'm never going back. Ever since, I've been trying to find something else. Perhaps I'm just getting older but I don't have the patience to grind that I once had, which rules out most hack and slash muds. These days, I prefer something with interesting quests, places to explore and mechanics. What muds do you play?

Common realme 3 problems
Problems most owners who mention them agree on, plus ones owners are split on.
No recurring complaint pattern found across the reviews analyzed. That's a genuinely good sign — it means owners aren't converging on the same problem.
