No, I have the same experience. Feels crazy that a GPU is too expensive and then the advice is to spend 400$+tokens on openrouter each month.

Sorry to be that guy. I think the more precise wording would be that you get tokens which would cost $1,000/month at API pricing. Maybe (depending on the profit margin of the API pricing) you incur costs somewhere close to $1,000/month. And maybe your usage is subsidized by 900$/month. The value you get out of it is a whole other question. One that according to recent news, CFOs find hard to esitimate.

Ask a CFO to estimate the value of microservices, or agile, or free snacks in the office, and you'll get much the same answer from them.

Maybe a green field clean room implementation :)


One can tell that this is 'from far away'. Europe was hoping that Russia, in their own interest would pursue peaceful cooperation, even when Putin was already talking about 'spheres of influence'. When Russia invaded Georgia, Europe turned the blind eye and was still hoping for peaceful relations with Russia. When Russia annexed Crimea, same thing. Even when Russia was pulling together forces along Ukraines border and the US pulled out their personnel from Ukraine, there were still many voices in Europe that Russia would never invade Ukraine. We can all be lucky that Ukraine wasn't as naive and prepared for this moment, otherwise Russia would probably have invaded a couple more countries by now.


SRI and ESG advanced funds exclude Tesla.


Which is probably why Apple is now selling to students at what appears to be below cost.


There goes my plan to use js code generation at runtime to make my algorithms faster. Doing this with wasm will be much harder.


Generating wasm code at runtime is pretty easy (I'd imagine easier than generating valid asm.js code). We have a little library for our tests that handles a lot of it: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/js/src/jit-test/li...


There's still AssemblyScript? It might meet your requirements, unless I'm misunderstanding you or the features of it.

https://www.assemblyscript.org/


Just try the asm.js subset and see how it performs for you, I remember that even without the special asm.js support in browsers Emscripten output performance was surprisingly good


In fact, I think it was only firefox that made a special JIT route. Chrome moved optimizations into the regular JIT.


It will still work. asm.js is just regular JavaScript code, after all. It just won't parse/run as fast as custom pipeline for asm.js. My guess is that you will not notice much difference unless you have a really huge application.


If you use a library it's not harder. In Rust you would use something like this, https://crates.io/crates/wasm-encoder

While in JS you would probably use https://www.npmjs.com/package/binaryen


There are some WAT compilers that are small and fast for running in the browser.


Who are you to make rules for others to follow?


I'm citing a rule, not making one. American is in the dictionary, used by the UN, recognized by everyone and their dog as the proper demonym for citizens of the United States. Who are you to question that authority and replace the proper demonym with a neologism?


I didn't. Languages aren't defined by dictionaries. If they were they would not have come into existence in the first place and they wouldn't evolve the way they do.


I am serving a small web interface to control my shutters on an esp32. I even did the experiment to not parse the request and just always respond with the same response, so a webserver for a single page can be trivial (you would have embed images and all other resources into the html then). But of course I am parsing the request, because I need separate routes for the page and for the actions. Since this is on my home lan it doesn't even need ssl. I guess as long as the traffic is low, an esp32 might be able to do ssl. For me that isn't relevant because it isn't on the internet and when I want to connect to it from outside my home lan, I just use wireguard.


I guess this is the distinction between a complex system and a complicated system.


Simple made easy would agree with you
