To use agentic what? Off topic as heck but I really dislike this trend of coercing adjectives into true nominals - we're using programmatic! - like some sort of even-more-obnoxious variant on the verb to noun ('the ask') process.

Why does it bother me so? I have no idea.


blame the hn title rules (although i would just have substituted "AI")

i doubt anyone is nouning "agentic" of their own accord (yet)


Just "leaders" at consulting firms mostly

In my experience, rate limits are more often per second. It's easy to talk about kilo or mega-units, so this isn't as big an issue as the awkwardness of talking about very very low volume services. Maybe those (generally) inherently don't care about rates as much?

In my perception there is a difference between 1req/s as a rate limit, and 60/min. The difference has to do with bucketing. If we agree that the rate limit is 1/s, I expect to be able to exactly that and sometimes 2 within the same second. However, if we agree on 60/min, then it should be fine to spend all 60 in the first second of a minute, or averaged out, or some other distribution.

This also helps with the question I always get when discussing rate limits “but what about bursts?”. 60/min already conveyed you are okay to receive bursts of 60 at once, in contrast to with 1/s.

In my experience it is exactly the low rate service that care about rate limits as they are the most likely to break under higher load. Services that already handle 100k req/s typically don’t sweat it with a couple extra once in a while.


An effective rate limiting system has multiple bases in my experience, depending on what the goal is. But I usually implement the configuration as a list where you can define how much requests are allow maximum per how many units of time.

E.g. to prevent fast bursts you limit it to 1 request per 1 second, but to avoid someone sending out 86400 requests a day you also cap them at 100 per 86400 seconds (24 hours) and 1000 per 3600 seconds (1 hour).

Whichever limit they hit first will stop it. That isn't hard to implement if you know how to deal with arrays and it allows long term abuse, while still along fast retries if something went wrong.


Exactly, you still will want to agree on multiple rate limit bases, precisely because they are different.

Hard to talk about favorites in books, but there was a solid decade of my life where I'd have probably said this was my favorite sci fi book. Highly recommend to anyone reading this.

Weird, from the outside it seems like bombing civilians and infrastructure is more inflammatory and antagonizing than some words/propaganda.

Ask the same dumb question, get the same answer.


[flagged]


No. You made the same argument twice and got the same response twice.


I didn't make any argument twice. I only responded with an argument once. What did I argue twice?


Let me summarize the argument more cleanly:

Words are violence!!! Hearing death to America hurt me badly!!

vs actual invasions and bombings of your mainland from two hyperviolent countries with a long history of the same


Who's argument are you summarizing? Is this about the repeat comment?


The persons you were talking to.


The were arguing the opposite of what you said if anything. You sure you didn't respond to the wrong comment?


Big scary words are not violence. They can't hurt you. Bombings and invasions that killed people are violence.


I agree, I'm just confused where that fits in this thread.


Actual violence is much more antagonizing than mere hurt feelings.


I wouldn't classify full scale war as "antagonizing," but, if you want to downplay it, be my guest.


Yeah I was hoping for a multiplayer goldfish-style experience, maybe something like tabletop simulator. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but this doesn't seem to be any better than the built in archidekt/moxfield tools


at the risk of being the shill but i think its helpful and what you are looking for, https://untap.in/ does this, solo play both mirror play your deck AND deck vs deck where you play 2 decks as one player, alternating turns.


I was thinking something 2- or 4-player, but that's cool.


I can't find sources for "tens of thousands of rockets just since oct 7", can you help me? I see a few thousand as parts of exchanges after the Israel-initiated "12 Days War", and then a few thousand more after the (also Israel-initiated) current conflagration. Notably, the rocket attacks stopped during peace talks that US and Israel entered after starting the wars, only to resume after those peace talks were betrayed with bombing.


Not sure what the best data source is, but one data point is that just in the month or so since Oct 7, the number of rocket/drone attacks against Israel was already around 9,500: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-fires-rocket...


The above claim was that Iran had attacked with thousands of rockets. These are from Hamas.


The 9,500 figure was for all fronts, not just Gaza. But true, it does include some Hamas rockets, most of which are not exactly "Iranian" (although Iran helped with training and smuggling some parts).

Another data point - https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/one-year-war-israe...

> Since the start of the war, 13,200 rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza. Another 12,400 were fired from Lebanon, while 60 came from Syria, 180 from Yemen and 400 from Iran, the military said.

So 12,400 rockets fired at Israel by Hezbollah, the vast majority of which are supplied by Iran at no cost. That's just in one year and doesn't include drones.


Two things to note there. One, many did make a peep; I have friends, coworkers who both ardently discussed and even pointlessly protested in small groups with signs.

The other - I don't pay taxes to the Azeris, every moment of my productive life doesn't support the genocide there, and my soul is in some way not as blackened by the atrocities there. I think people care about Palestine because they rightly feel complicity. Maybe Russian citizens - whose labor indirectly goes to supporting Azeri atrocities - are up in arms?


Well, given that the Azeris are armed by Israel, there might be some indirect US complicity…


Ads? It's not great for users but it's decent monetization. If you really have something good, like actually liked, you can do a donation vs ad-supported model.


I’ve ran the numbers and the APIs I have to pay for would be more expensive. I’ve tried caching the data which works to some degree but still a negative unless I really degrade the experience


As long as you're not achieving Plasma you're probably fine.


Probably some fraction of the civilians blown up by Israeli terrorist phone strikes and bombing raids; there's a reason Hezbollah maintains some level of support in the region.
