"- cursor position marked as ${CURSOR_TAG}: Indicates where the developer's cursor is currently located, which can be crucial for understanding what part of the code they are focusing on."

I was not aware that was a thing and useful to know. Thanks!

Anthropic employees Sholto Douglas & Trenton Bricken did an interview recently with Dwarkesh Patel, pieces here and there was about the circuit tracing insights.

https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/sholto-trenton-2 -- search the transcript for "circuit" for the quick bits.

Eg, "If you look at the circuit, you can see that it's not actually doing any of the math, it's paying attention to that you think the answer's four and then it's reasoning backwards about how it can manipulate the intermediate computation to give you an answer of four."

Your public library didn’t have inter-library loan? Most public libraries have always been able to get you books not in their collection, you just have to ask.

Adding to the GP & sibling: Even in Los Angeles with some of the bigger libraries the IT/programming books were on the older (outdated?) side.. The more modern material was at the book stores like Barnes, Borders, or another one at the mall (I don't remember if it was B Dalton, Walden, or something else).. thankfully I could skateboard there after school or work and read them there for the evening since I couldn't afford them. Getting the internet and SNR of content back then was a game changer to me too.

HN automatically recapitalizes words in submission titles so I think it’s possible this could have been submitted as “AIDemos by Meta”.

Ahh I see. Thanks for the info!

Is this subject purposely spelled Aidemos somewhere like the HN title says instead of AI Demos?

Is there a list? I'd like to know if my SIP provider is on it, ideally before it gets shut down.

Aha, the list was linked from the original URL, but dang unfortunately changed it to the plain text news release https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-408083A1.txt which doesn't link to the list. The original URL was https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-could-block-over-2400-provi..., which links to https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-24-1235A1.pdf, which lists the providers that will be shut down. And I'm happy to see that my SIP provider isn't on it.

Thanks for linking the list! I'm seeing "Sangoma U.S., Inc." in it, which might apply to quite a few people & companies.

1024 is for RSA-1024, which is believed to be broken by classical means at this point. Everyone doing anything with RSA is on 4k or larger.

Reminder to anyone if DKIM keys haven't been rotated in a while they might still be 1024. Eg., Google Workspace but new keys are 2048 now.

I mean, there are tradeoffs with both approaches. It seems to me that Node’s stateful approach is used by other web servers and languages too.

The main tradeoff is you’re now reloading the entire server for every request in PHP. If you have a massive server or framework, that might not be the fastest thing in the world.

Since php 7.4 there's been opcache preload to keep a lot of the framework instantiated, in php 8.1 opcache inheritance cache covered some ground with preload.

Some frameworks like symfony considered removing preload support but they were still seeing benchmarks of 10% better performance with it so it was kept.

The biggest pain point with preload IMO is it's global, not per pool, and php-fpm needs to be restarted to update the preload script.

Relatedly the movie "The Fountain" they combined chemicals and bacteria to create some of the visual effects instead of CG. The DVD has an extra of "Peter Parks Bonus - Macro Photography Loop".

Recent question I haven't look much into yet: Is there a way to limit the number of simultaneous http2/3 streams from an IP address with Caddy?
