Note to self:
When you install a dozen HDDs in a server with drive trays without indicators, it might be a good idea to write down which drive with which serial number is installed in what slot.
I just had to unscrew 5 of 14 HDDs to find the right one to remove!!
I normally like my Fractal Design Define 7 XL, but today... 🤬

John Oliver discusses the Trump administration’s promise to deport one million immigrants,
what the follow through on that promise looks like in practice,
what the actual rules are about masked police arresting civilians across the country,
and some stuff about filmmaker Dean Cain.

Mgmt: We don't have the resources to make our own LLM. Can we just monetize AI prompts?

PromptChain: A Decentralized Web3 Architecture for Managing AI Prompts as Digital Assets
We present PromptChain, a decentralized Web3 architecture that establishes AI prompts as first-class digital assets with verifiable ownership, version control, and monetization capabilities. Current centralized platforms lack mechanisms for proper attribution, quality assurance, or fair compensation for prompt creators. PromptChain addresses these limitations through a novel integration of IPFS for immutable storage, smart contracts for governance, and token incentives for community curation. O…

Some fun facts about #Python limited API / stable ABI.
1. #CPython supports "limited API". When you use it, you get extensions that are compatible with the specified CPython version and versions newer than that. To indicate this compatibility, such extensions use `.abi3.so` suffix (or equivalent) rather than the usual `.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so` or alike.
2. The actual support is split between CPython itself and #PEP517 build systems. For example, if you use #setuptools and specify `py_limited_api=` argument to the extension, setuptools will pass appropriate C compiler flags and swap extension suffix. There's a similar support in #meson, and probably other build systems.
3. Except that CPython freethreading builds don't support stable ABI right now, so building with "limited API" triggers an explicit error from the headers. Setuptools have opted for building explicit about this: it emits an error if you try to use `py_limited_api` on a freethreading interpreter. Meson currently just gives the compile error. This implies that package authors need to actively special-case freethreading builds and enable "limited API" conditionally.
4. A some future versions of CPython will support "limited API" in freethreading builds. I haven't been following the discussions closely, but I suspect that it will only be possible when you target that version or newer. So I guess people will need to be building two stable ABI wheels for a time — one targeting older Python versions, and one targeting newer versions plus freethreading. On top of that, all these projects will need to update their "no 'limited API' on freethreading" conditions.
5. And then there's #PyPy. PyPy does not feature a stable ABI, but it allows you to build extensions using "limited API". So setuptools and meson just detect that there is no `.abi3.so` on PyPy, and use regular suffix for the extensions built with "limited API".
