This is super cool! The brew install path in the readme doesn't seem to work remote: Repository not found. fatal: repository ' https://github.com/frigadehq/homebrew-tap/ ' not found

I kind of buy that Chinese models should only be usable via western hosts, but completely shutting them off would be a massive self own.

Here's a lot of really nice features in this language (I really like the actor / nursery designs), but a GIL in 2026 feels like a massive weakness

x402 as a standard will never have a fee.

x402 abstracts away gas! You can try here from a human use standpoint: https://www.x402.org/protected And you can see how to accept stablecoins or spend in the the examples https://github.com/coinbase/x

Blockchains are fast and and cheap now! Modern blockchains like Base, Solana, Sui (and many more) typically have block times <2 seconds, and a stablecoin transfer can cost as little as $0.0005 independent of the $ amount being transfered

its not that 402 isn't used, its that there is no standard response, which makes it hard for AI agents to pay for access. x402 provides a standard response format clients can programmatically use to create a payment, either using crypt

>Given that this runs atop Payment Required, doesn’t this mean that each API request would involve an extra one or two data transfers? Yes, assuming its the first time you've interacted with an API endpoint and don't have cache

>Does x402 prevent the double-spending problem? This depends on the implementation on the underlying network, but basically the spending signs an authorization for transfer, and the merchant either settles that onchain themselves or dele

Gas is variable, but Coinbase currently subsidizes x402 transactions that go through our facilitator

x402 as a protocol has no fees, but the underlying network transactions are conducted on my have costs. Merchants can choose the underlying network transactions are conducted on that best fit their usecase. x402 also has the concept of a fa

(x402 author here) Thats actually exactly what the intention with x402 is. Merchants express to the buyer multiple ways that they accept payment and the buyer chooses the one they prefer. As of right now stablecoins on various crypto rails

we will happy accept PRs the add support for any chains that can perform the payment flows in a safe, non-custodial way for the client, resource server and faciliator. Currently x402 works with any EVM chain, and we're working with sev

People never discuss company size along with this question. If you're at a giant company, the answer is likely no, there's enough politicing and paperwork where the highest impact thing to be done by a manager is likely not coding

This looks really nice! Curious if its running in production anywhere

This is super cool. Haven't seen such a pragmatic framework for composing local LLM action, especially in rust

Data policy, knowing what and how data is stored, would be good enough

This looks really cool and something I would use, but I'd need to see more on data retention and security. Just by nature of the product it requires sharing a lot of potentially very sensitive information.

We're still ironing out a few things but unit tests for various functions then we have smol statistically representative datasets for each model. In CI we train a model on the small dataset (aim for <5 mins e2e) then have a a suite

What has worked fairly well so far: Models: - Models are structured as python packages, each model inherits a base class - base class has define how to train, and how to predict (as well as a few other more specific things) - ML engineer c

I'm really excited for this. I'm unaware of any mainstream language with first class support for differentiation, I think its going to be really interesting to see what people use it for out side of ML.

I've been using firefox on my personal computers and phone as my main browser for ~18 months. Honestly at this point I prefer it to chrome. On mobile the ability to use native extensions like ublock origin is amazing.

Also Canadian (Vancouver / Victoria), spend a lot of time in SF. This has also been my experience but I'm wondering if its just a big city thing in CAD.

Canadian services are typically good especially for urgent care things, I only have gone private on one occasion and that was for an MRI years ago when there were fewer of them available. I had a tear in my MCL and they wanted to see the de
