does this affect the windows and mac,iphone apps?

Also, can't you tie a key to a domain or IP address to help stop unauthorized usage?


Not if its publicly called from Javascript, as your user's browser will make those requests. You neither know their IP addresses, nor is the referer or origin header a safe choice as it can be spoofed outside of a browser.


If it's called from Javascript in the browser, it's not a secret API key....


Which is why Google calls it a public API key...


there are plenty of API keys distributed like this by design. For example, google maps requires this, else your (anonymous) users can't use an embedded google map on your website. And a public firebase app needs some kind of API key, too.


Good point. Thanks for the input

The attenuation of man is near. It is our final fleeting moment to cast our human ingredients into the of the greater process of intelligence - for we will be the carriers of the torch not much longer


The sky is falling, the sky is falling!


The sky falling is largely solved.


With blockchain & DeFi?

:-D


build me facebook, no mistakes.


In a world where peoples home might be taken away because interest go up because oil prices is nuts.


Interest rates change for all sorts of reasons. People who take out variable rate home mortgages are always gambling. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose.


It would be very hard for me to take a variable rate mortgages, while not having the money to pay for it.

Feels like stressful living.


does that mean movies with AI generated art can be repackaged and sold by anyone?


Only if they don’t have “substantial human authorship”.


My biggest pet peeve about bus stops is when they are right at intersections and there is no bus lane or bus pull over spot.


Wouldn't it be nice if we have language specific llms that work on average computers.

Like LLM that only trained on Python 3+, certain frameworks, certain code repos. Then you can use a different model for searching the internet to implement different things to cut down on costs.

Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about lol


I imagine some sort of distill like this would be possible, but I think multi-language training really helps the LLM.


How good is ethernet over electrical sockets these days. I had one about 15 years ago maybe, but it wasn't that good.

Has tech changed. I'd use it over my wifi setup if its was fast.


This tech is known as BPL(broadband over powerline) if you want to look further into it.


I used the regular home power stuff many years ago and the speeds were pretty bad and the network loss was unreliable.

My understanding is that it has improved in some circumstances, but if the connection ends up "hopping" through your breaker you get back to garbage speeds.

In theory you can get 2 Gbps speeds, but in practice it seems like still around 500 Mbps. I don't know if the loss has improved but it was a significant problem before, since even a low loss will render a connection unusable.


Its easier to adopt AI when starting from scratch or code base is well maintained.
