> When activated, the Time-out Timer starts counting the moment a user begins transmitting. If the transmission continues beyond a pre-set duration, the timer automatically cuts off the transmission. This mechanism compels users to be concise in their communication and relinquish the channel, allowing others the opportunity to transmit.

Edit: No, it's more like a scheduled lockout. You can only talk when it's your turn. And the assumption is that the clocks on each node are synced:

> Every node has a notion of the global time and uses this notion along with the static schedule to establish when it should send messages.

But personally, I couldn’t handle not knowing why the clutch needed to be pressed, or why a chord shapes is the why it is.

I don’t really have a problem with systems.

Very clearly. The author constructed a melody from first principles in the article. You can take any song, deconstruct it using the information in there and begin to see why it sounds nice.

> This article is trivializing music down to a few not-so-important facts

This is a music theory lecture with code examples. Hardly “not-so-important”.

> mistaking some math for anything that would help `programmers` (?) understand music.

Compared to the lessons on https://www.musictheory.net this is definitely programmer/engineer friendly. It’s better than my old go-to at https://www.lightnote.co

I get this everything, including the examples.

I run a (Canadian) ham radio training site[0] and would love to put them in the lessons. With attribution of course.

Edit: Oh gosh, your whole site is full of wonderful illustrations. My niece might finally get her license with these :)

> First-year TLDs under $2 is one of the best indicators of likely abuse. Some TLDs like .xyz are truly fighting abuse while others feign ignorance.

I don't understand this. The first year being discounted (or free) helped .me, and .xyz in the past. This is one year of data. Surely more time is needed?

What do you mean? What is this likelihood based off of?

Holy overreaction, Batman.

I just did a CTF where I was in the top 10. It was the first CTF I completed and I used AI because the rules permitted it. That said, I couldn’t solve all challenges.

But yes, it was significantly easier now than I last attempted one. Even manually solving with AI assisted assembly interpretation was much easier.

This is for their API, and I was on Claude Code Web.

It wasn’t clear to me that following the SDK docs and introducing the environment variable as in the examples would magically enable API billing for Claude Code.

I'm confused though, why isn't that tool/framework being shown here. What is it and how does it work? It is similar to the TypeSpec tool someone else posted?

> "Generate a pure white image."

It refused no matter how I phrased it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> "Generate a pure black image."

It did give me one. In a new chat, I asked Gemini to detect SynthID with "@synthid". It responded with:

> The image contains too little information to make a diagnosis regarding whether it was created with Google AI. It is primarily a solid black field, and such content typically lacks the necessary data for SynthID to provide a definitive result.

Further research: Does a gradient trigger SynthID? IDK, I have to get back to work.

Just that it’s a pragmatic approach (no matter how flawed in practice) and concerning that it needs to be done.

I find it more concerning that mass surveillance has come to the point where someone can’t safely express their frankly-not-that-controversial opinions without obfuscating the subject’s name.
