I'm sorry I brought this upon you...

I feel that way about street advertising, beautiful European cities with historical buildings all around and suddenly a big screen/panel asking you to buy whatever.

Yes but how is this defensible in court? Not only you're paying for something you never agreed to pay, you're also paying for a service you've never received, since it's a service to subsidize other's services.

Yes I understand, it's just the feeling I get is a bit odd, like the thing you get at the end of the ad like "9/10 doctors recommend this".

A bit of a tangent but I've read this phrase almost verbatim in another article[1] today:

> "This study is really good," says Sunghwan Jung, a biophysicist at Cornell University who studies the mechanics of animal movements and was not involved with the research. It shows, he says, that the guts of these animals "are very special."

The other article [1] quote:

> It’s “an impressive step,” said Jack Szostak (opens a new tab), who studies the origins of life at the University of Chicago and was not involved in the research. “I don’t know of any other effort to put together an artificial cell from biological components that has progressed so far.”

Are these editorial guidelines to get an independent read? Just coincidence? I don't think they are LLM bits because I expect better from these magazines, but it's too eerily similar.

Thanks! I'm actually working on that as well, the favicon doesn't work yet though:

- https://uptimecore.com/

- https://uptimecore.com/domains?domains=google.com

Edit: note that uptimecore is still not as nice, not so flexible, e.g. I need to add a time adjuster, and the favicon, and some other details like that.

Is this timing coincidence? I just submitted 1h (30 mins before this) ago a website I just made about storing your stock porfolio in a URL + favicon!

Only got 63,150 words. Considering English is the 3rd language I learned, I think I did pretty well.

They are luckily only applying this to:

> The price adjustment applies to new orders and cloud instance rescales starting from 15 June 2026; 8 AM CEST.

> For orders placed before 15 June 2026, but delivered after 15 June 2026, the previous prices will apply.

I am surely/definitely happy that the price doesn't increase for me. If it increased for everyone, I'd expect a much smaller jump. Also I'm not sure how much flexibility they have to increase the price for everyone without notice, given that they are in EU.

I just wrapped up https://llmrender.com/, a tiny (10kb) Markdown to React renderer works with all of the Markdown + LaTeX math you'd normally expect in a normal project.

I made it because doing one of the mainstream Markdown renderers + Katex (LaTeX) + Prism.js (syntax highlight) adds 300kb of gzipped JS to the frontend projects, so with this you can have it all for just 10kb. It also works well with streaming/does stable partial rendering.

It supports features usually reserved for LLM chatbots, but also for normal everyday Markdown, so feel free to use it or give feedback!

No well was built since there was no permit. That's it, end of the story.

Sorry if it was not clear, this is about Spain/EU enforcement in Spain vs EU enforcement in Morocco, where we import tons of fruits from. I think it's plenty obvious that the enforcement level will be different at the source.

Edit: I've asked that myself multiple times. There's also some stubbornness there as well TBF.

Because it's fields+trees that have been there for decades, and even if there's no profit few years, it still pays for the salaries of the workers and expenses of maintaining the fields. If you stop it, things die and then it's more expensive to restart.
franciscop

No, this is definitely an official gvmt body that can fine you if you try to sell fruit as organic that doesn't follow the regulations. It IS definitely compulsory if you mark your produce as organic.

I know someone close who grows oranges in Spain. He has to go through hell, had to rework multiple times the fields so that they pass the strict Spanish regulation for organic produce. They get evaluated not only on the final product being pesticide free, but also on the full process being compliant, with heavy fines for non compliance.

This is fine-ish, except that the imported oranges get checked only seldomly (if that) and are given a lot of leeway, making it very hard to compete if you grow them locally. Last couple of years saw some profit for growing them locally, but it's been times where there was literally no profit at all for 5+ years.

Funny story: he requested a permit to build a well, and ofc it takes forever so he just waited. After 4-5 years waiting, having even forgotten about it, someone called him: "we're here to inspect the well". What well? You haven't given me permission yet. "yes, we know, but people build them anyway before getting permission so we thought you'd do the same".

Yes, my historical understanding is definitely that it could be split into two easily, not that we counted with our fingers skipping the thumb (Spaniard here).

It seems it was an experiment at that moment, and that it went well? I do hope they release it under 2.x though, cannot imagine how a 1M LoC can break in so many ways, especially if what xiphias says is true:

Thanks for removing the rest on that google link, the one I get after switching to "images" and back to "web" is this monstrosity:

Look at the original video/article, they used drone motors for the robot dog, by reusing the rotor/stator and rewinding the coils manually.

I was just reflecting on what I saw/thought! But sure, take it as a compliment, the website and branding are amazing, I'm (positively) jealous of how good they reflect on the product, congrats.
