Is this ironic?

> Three common and well-known tells in AI writing — sometimes genuinely deployed by humans but nowhere their profligate use by AI — are the regularity of em-dashes, the high frequency of specific words like “genuinely”, and the tendency to repeatedly invoke tricolons.

Clickbait.

    Uh-oh
    For a moment there it seemed that you were trying to peek into this Monero address: 47xmhbRuYpSYSrVZx2RsPBhaAQByZq3ucAT6ULxHvDAu8c853ErpLHqBdDmpVzcmWFdZFCWrfZYwp3rqs14zxXx95S7Fyv2
    No?
    Hmmm... it really looks like you were, like, trying to check out this dude's balance.
    Well, Monero says 'No'!

You're grasping for a reliable unsupervised truth machine. That's a fundamentally intractable problem until you limit it down to a wolframalpha clone. And not even that by LLMs.

Any gotchas or regrets?

Haven't used it in many years and now considering going all in on making it (scaffolding of) next DE. So looking at the same move.

I played around a bit with the Hp-16c JRPN emulator for hex calculations and usefulness was limited by max number size. Largest number I can input is 0xFFFF.

Does anyone know if the SwissMicro models support operating on larger numbers than 16 bits, ideally up to 64?

LLVM IR is a better example.

> For Developers

Would you mind sharing the source code?

> Copy API keys

...yeah, I think that'd be a hard requirement. I don't think there is value in a cliboard-as-a-SaaS that is not self-hostable or even auditable.

I think you are putting the cart before the horse and putting your users at risk by integrating credit card payments before sorting out the basics.

> The important point is to be able to recognize that and not coerce users into using your project only how you envisioned it and only like that. Some projects are failure on that count having switched on dictatorial direction on that aspect.

There is certainly a balance there. If every function inside your code is now considered part of your API contract, almost anything is a breaking change and you can basically forget about ever meaningfully refactoring that codebase.

Many times making things private or marking them as internal-only is the right call.

I'm not really intimate enough with libsodium to judge if they made the right cut there or not in hindsight.
