Interesting, so instead of OpenAI giving me an API key, I give them a public key, which they register. Sounds like what we already do with GitHub. I like it.

Yes.

and it’s easy to do keypair generation in the browser using subtle crypto. That API doesn’t provide jwk generation, but seems like it would be relatively easy to do even without the jose module. And the browser cab “download” (really just save) the keypair using the Blob API. Keys need not leave the browser.

An api developer portal could just offer - generate a new keypair? - upload your existing public key?

…As a choice. Either way the public key gets registered for your account.

The end. Easy.

sub agents adding isolating context is the real deal rest is just langgraph react agent

This is valuable but not really a novel idea.

The cancellation in the denouncing seems … sort of obvious.

You are misinformed about license cost, as I’ve already explained in multiple comments.

Hard to integrate in what way? XSLT is a language focused on several things that it’s very good at but it’s not intended to replace Python or be a general purpose language. Yet there are many common data related tasks where a messy and hard to maintain pile of imperative code can be replaced with a simple XSLT.

Sonic is doing this in sfba. Used to be att reseller now they lay their own fiber, 50% cheaper plans, byo router, ipv6 that actually works, great service.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the benefit to ipv6 for local, consumer internet?

Comcast is notorious for exploiting places that don't have any other real options. Just before Google Fiber was activated in my area, Comcast stepped up their game big time. The only problem is that they had spent years nickel and diming me for actual connection speeds that didn't even come close to their advertised rates, and their latency/jitter is garbage compared to fiber. Comcast clearly doesn't want to have to compete. In their defense, their connection was rarely down.

Isn’t this standard competitive practice ? Charge what the market will bear.

I don’t know if I’d call that “exploitation”. If there’s one gas station 90 miles from every other gas station in the Nevada desert, they’re gonna charge more, aren’t they?

You've always had the _option_ of paying extra for unlimited data, however its only in the past month or two that they've started offering unlimited data as standard (in select markets).

I’m sorry I still don’t get it. Could you explain that in different phrasing ?

A comcast customer always had the option to pay for unlimited data. I get that part. What is the 2nd part? “Started offering it as standard” means what?

> XSLT 1.0 is still dominant

How, where? In 2013 I was still working a lot with XSLT and 1.0 was completely dead everywhere one looked. Saxon was free for XSLT 2 and was excellent.

I used to do transformation of both huge documents, and large number of small documents, with zero performance problems.

I recently had the occasion to work with a client that was heavily invested in XML processing for a set of integrations. They’re migrating / modernizing but they’re so heavily invested in XSL that they don’t want to migrate away from it. So I conducted some perf tests and, the performance I found for xslt in .NET (“core”) was slightly to significantly better than the performance of Java (current) and Saxon. But they were both fast.

In the early days the xsl was all interpreted. And was slow. From ~2004 or so, all the xslt engines came to be jit compiled. XSL benchmarks used to be a thing, but rapidly declined in value from then onward because the perf differences just stopped mattering.

That's actually most of space. Space is a very hot environment, especially where we are so close to the sun. Think about it. When you stand outside in the sun you heat up. All that heat is coming from the sun. But a lot of it was filtered by the atmosphere, so if you're in space near earth it will be hotter than standing at the equator on a sunny day, in terms of radiation.

Then there's the fact that heat is very difficult to get rid of when in space. The ISS's radiators are much bigger than its solar panels. If you wanted to have a very-long eva spacesuit you'd have to have radiators much bigger than your body hanging off of it. Short evas are handled by starting the eva with cold liquids in the suit and letting them heat up.

All of the mockups of starships going to Mars mostly fail to represent where they're going to put the radiators to get rid of all the excess heat.

I think you’re missing the key point - heat transfer. The reason we feel hot at the beach is not solely because of heat we absorb directly from solar energy. Some of the heat we feel is the lack of cooling because the surrounding air is warm, and our bodies cannot reject heat into it as easily as we can into air that is cool. And some is from heat reflecting up from the sand.

Theres a heat wave across much of the US right now. Even when the sun goes down it will still be hot. People will still be sweating , doing nothing, sitting on their porches. Because the air and the surrounding environment has absorbed the sun’s heat all day and is storing it.

That’s what you’re neglecting in your analysis of space.

Not at all. Just doing my part to point out, whenever it's topical, that tin foil hats work and aluminum foil hats don't. There's a reason they want you to call aluminum foil by the wrong name.
