As far as I can tell, the difference is that they made a new website? The cloudflared instant tunnels have been around for years, including json output as far as I know.

As far as I know this has been a provided feature of cloudflare for several years. I don't understand why it was posted today.

They have some allowance flags, you should email them.

I love this sort of project and write-up. Inspiring to try something a bit different and dance on that line between practicality and artwork. The in-progress "scans" are themselves an interesting stretching of time and space, even if they aren't what the artist is ultimately going for.

I wonder how parallel token caches are, like when exploring a tree of sample continuations.

I misread that as "the first time I dreamt...".

Anyway yes, as I understand it this should be the last time you _remember_ having dreamt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_eye_movement_sleep says we hit REM multiple times per night normally.

... Also this Wikipedia says we have non-REM dreams. This whole article is interesting, thank you for indirectly prompting me to read up a bit :)

For the first part they have https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/overview/auth/oauth (which I haven't used). That gives you an openrouter key for that user (openrouter bills the user).

What value are you providing that you'd take some further cut? You could take the money from the user via stripe and then pay your own openrouter bill instead.

I'm saying that Machine Learning was borne of AI from the very beginning. ML has become specialized enough that we may later (much much later) declare it somehow larger/separate/overlapping, but it originated from AI as the generic umbrella.

Counter example, the book that is the foundation of much coursework and learning for people in AI, has a whole section on "Machine Learning" with all that k-means and such in there - https://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/

Yes -- there are also links if you click into the lower-right help button to the excalidraw documentation, blog, etc.

Was there pressure to do this, or freedom to do this? If I had an unlimited token budget I'd probably try all sorts of crazy things. Also you (one) can read the tests and see that they weren't modified to forcibly pass.

Maybe he didn't think it would work. Maybe even if it does "work" they'll keep the zig version anyway. Maybe further study is needed beyond existing compiling/test-suite. Intentions and perspectives change over time, even only a few days, without dishonesty.

I'm guessing that if I said it ... that we have no intention of re-writing in rust ... that what I mean is "we have no intention of spending the extreme cost it would take to rewrite". When I discover the cost model is completely different that changes things.

Not AI generated software -- DYNAMICALLY generated software, like at run time and ongoing. Even in-app directed by the user. This is not a thing that existed before, a degree of customizability well beyond letting the user pick a color scheme or from one of a few layouts or default start screens.

I don't know how good of an idea it would be, product-wise, to give programming level flexibility. I am reminded of greasemonkey scripts, but written in english maybe. Maybe it could be awesome. But Apple is saying "nope. Not interested in exploring this with you. BYE"
