They didn't. Original price was maybe higher but they slashed it during preview and in fact it was lower by a bit ($0.68/M tokens) and $2.09 for output.

I've been using it for my personal project and it's still too expensive and very slow when thinking. I think we need one more generation from mistral and with maybe 50% of this already "slashed" price for this to be competitive (I use Opus 5.5 at work and it's still much better than this).

I've been using Sailfish OS since the first Jolla phone came out in EU and Canada both. It has some hurdles but if you pay for the android subsystem it works fine. There are a lot of great native apps and you get the full linux experience.

I am so glad someone said this. This also shows nicely how async is wrong, not just that it's viral, but it's bad design because it forces code duplication.

Middleware/library writers that touch on anything that could be async (db, SPI, network etc.) will now have to write two versions of their API and duplicate most code.

I've changed it so that the current puzzle solution shows if you fail to guess. Many people requested it.

It'll show tomorrow :)

I wanted to avoid people just taking this out of the javascript source so it's using some hash tricks to prevent that. Maybe I over engineered that a bit though.

Happy to announce the release of https://undoodle.ai a little side project I've been working on recently.

Puzzle out what prompted stable diffusion to create the image. New puzzle each day.

This is not correct. The api that was disabled was deprecated for over a decade when disabled. It was an api that wasn't meant to be used. Zol folks kept using it out of tree and when Linus finally removed/hidden them people went apeshit thinking it was some sort of attack. It wasnt, it was 12 years late...

Really cool. For some reason when I opened the webpage I was like "this seems like it's written in Rust" and it is! I'm using Rust as my main language for the past 6 months now so it makes me happy :D

This happens regularly, the bee cluster doesn't wait for late comers. There are some scouts that keep going there and back but there are also scouts that do that with the "Correct" destination, so they "lead" the stray ones to their new home eventually. In the end most bees end up where they're supposed to.

It's much worse when a beekeeper takes the swarm tho. Speaking from experience, you can see "lost" scouts going to and from the temporary cluster from their destinations for days after you moved the cluster into a new hive. The reason is because there's noone going from cluster to new hive since no scout found that destination. It's a bit heartbreaking.

I collected the "leftover" mini-clusters 4 times in a row coz I felt responsible...

I'm not disputing that. In theory Rust should outperform even today but of course reality is a different beast and implementation details are important.

Then you also get into architecture specifics etc.

dodobirdlord described the two major advantages Rust has on the language level very well so I won't repeat them, but the gist I'm making is that Rust simply allows more optimizations purely on the language level. Specifics of backend implementations are of course another topic completely (and is one of the reasons why I'm excited for the possibility of a GNU Rustc)

Rust will outperform C consistently soon. It already does in some cases. It will also do so with safe idiomatic code in most cases. The reason behind my statement is simply more opportunity for the optimizer. Rusts rules allow for a more aggressive optimization. The reasons why it's not outperforming C yet are LLVM bugs and some missing Rust language features and fixes. LLVM in particular is driven by C needs so they rarely fix bugs present only Rustc generated IR.

This is untrue. Hifive1 supports the privileged instructuons and comes with machine mode and user mode. Cost is ~50$
