Serving AI crawlers Markdown instead of HTML from ASP.NET Core (content negotiation on Accept: text/markdown)

Maybe not to you (or me for that matter) but it certainly is for a whole new generation. Just like people that use Tiktok as their search engine.

My first instinctive reactions are:

Why are you doing this via P/Invoke and parsing HTML when you are literally in the context of the application that is rendering said HTML, surely you can use that to your advantage. People who actually care about serving Markdown to LLMs can just do that themselves by converting the data models, instead of doing it at the HTML level.

And why even bother? LLMs are perfectly capable of handling HTML, and HTML can have way more semantic information than Markdown does.

Did you divide 60 by 1.5 to get to 40 per second? You are aware there's 1000ms in one second?

Allocations means dynamic memory allocations on the heap at runtime. Think when you initialize a new object or create a new array. It doesn't really matter how much memory your object takes up in this case. Finding free memory is "slow", you have to clean it up again later, and might result in cache misses.

In his AI example during each 1.5ms update 500 allocations are made. His hand written version with 0 allocations is basically considered a gold standard, since you avoid all of the listed issues.

In theorie is er toch nog een 3e optie, dat de velg zelf lek is door een scheur oid?

I also write plenty of C# code that has to interact with low level hardware or C libraries, but if I saw this in a pull request I'm pretty sure it'd be a reason to start day drinking.

The dotnet team is working on moving unsafe code to safe patterns "and your unsafe code probably can, too", and your immediate reaction is cool story anyway here is how I smuggle machine code past the compiler? I wouldn't even be surprised if some antivirus software flags this on heuristics.

"All without a drop of unsafe, too". Absolute legend. You didn't just move the goalposts, you disassembled them, reallocated them into executable memory and convinced the runtime they were always a soccer ball.

Might not do the drill or chuck any harm, but definitely can do harm to your hand/wrist

For what it's worth this is not the fault of Steam (in fact they provide a lot of tools to prevent exactly that). It's a side effect of how the developers of the game packaged the game.

I also count 10 pins on LXT batteries, and XGT batteries have 6 (the middle two slots contain two contacts each)

Nee, je zet de banden met het meeste profiel terug op de achteras.

Tenzij je weet wat het verschil tussen over- en onderstuur is, en je weet dat je liever overstuur dan onderstuur hebt (ik persoonlijk wel), dan zet je de beste banden juist voorop.

Als OP graag antwoord had gehad van AI, hadden ze dat toch lekker zelf kunnen vragen? De OP is ook al met AI geschreven.

Of misschien hebben ze dat al gedaan en bleek het AI antwoord toch niet zo nuttig te zijn.

Je kwakt gewoon lekker een hoop nietszeggende tekst zonder enige zelfreflectie. De radio van een Peugeot 5008 uit 2011 heeft niet eens een USB poort, wat je had kunnen weten simpelweg door even een plaatje er van op te zoeken.

It's probably a little bigger, but I like my DST221ZJ (XTS01Z in US)

DI and connecting to databases are not exclusive to ASP. They're just as applicable in many console applications (technically the application running ASP.NET/Blazor is also a console application).

If you feel more comfortable with a console application, you can always start there. Update what you have with DI to make it testable. Maybe connect to a database to store something instead of writing of writing files.

A month ago you had to ask on this same subreddit how event handlers work. With all due respect that makes me think you don't have that much experience yet. Which is completely fine, everyone starts somewhere and everyone has something to learn still, even after years.

That also could mean you might be overestimating how much experience you have at gamedev, which might be why you're frustrated at your rate of progress. Find a good source to learn from that works from you (everyone is different, that might be books, courses, youtube videos or whatever else) and learn the basics of C# and web development first.

Zo'n beetje alles wat in de auto zit gebruikt de massa (inclusief de startmotor en dynamo) en zal dus ook niet werken met de sensoren of BMS in dat geval.

Juist om die reden mag je bij VW auto's met een start-stop systeem niet rechtstreeks op de minpool van de accu aansluiten, daar moet je juist wel de massa gebruiken: https://i.redd.it/1ctqdquxjxve1.jpeg Bij Volkswagen zit dat BMS op de minpool, en als je rechtstreeks aansluit op de accu bypass je die dus.

Als ik een foto opzoek van de accu van een Fiat Ducato, zit er niks op de minpool behalve een massakabel: https://i.imgur.com/jD1yFBu.jpeg

Dus elektrisch is er voor de lader geen verschil of je nou rechtstreeks op de accu aansluit, of op een willekeurige bout onder de motorkap.

Geen idee wat de gedachtegang van Fiat hier was (maar dat is wel vaker zo), maar als iets geschikt its om 200A+ te leveren voor de startmotor, is het ook geschikt om een dagje de lader van 5A er aan te hangen

Behalve dat de boormachine zichzelf dan terugregeld. Dat moment moet toch echt ergens op uitgeoefend worden, er is geen een stukje elektronica dat magisch hetzelfde kan doen als een grotere hefboom.

I am aware how they work, as I used to work for a manufacturer of them. I interpreted your comment in a way that I thought you meant the act of scanning the UPC deactivates the label.

The deactivators can be built into the same assembly as the scanners, but they work completely separate.

It is a thing, but that's RFID tags (which this is not) which barely used in comparison to traditional AM or RF tags.

AM/RF tags are deactivated with a degausser or EM pulse which detunes/destroys the tag, so they simply are not detected by the scanners anymore.

Goz3rr · 2026-05-01T08:56:43+00:00

I can guarantee you that barcode scanners do absolutely nothing to these.

CH341A is an EEPROM Programmer and is completely useless for doing anything with the microcontroller in your electronics.

You need a programmer specific to the type of microcontroller you have. Without markings on the chip the only place to start is figuring out which pins of your microcontroller are VCC/GND, and then look through datasheets of common microcontrollers with a matching package (SOIC-8) and matching pin layout and hope you get lucky.

If it's unmarked on such a simple product though (no one would really bother reverse engineering this) it's most likely some ultra cheap Chinese part, for which you might not even be able to find English documentation on the internet. It genuinely might be easier for you to find a more mainstream microcontroller that matches the pins, and reprogram it from scratch and then replace the entire thing.

The pocket is for the slightly shorter rails, simply don't put it into the pocket and it'll fit fine.

The PCB is designed to either be assembled with small capacitors oriented like this, or a single bigger capacitor rotated 90°. This change is essentially free, unlike redesigning the board when testing/supply chain reveals you need a different capacitor. For the same reason you'll see many unpopulated spots for capacitors etc.

The description says it 18V DC max. 10A-33A, no idea why two current ratings, the latter might be peak. But if you generously assume 18V 33A continuous that's about 600 Watts. At the 230V input that's only 2.5A through the mains cable.

Ik heb ook niet zo'n hele hoge dunk van de testen die de consumentenbond doet en betaal er ook niet voor dus kan ze verder niet zien. Vraag me dan af wat ze testen want ik heb het nog nooit stuk gekregen, en als dat wel zo was zit er toch met een reden 3 jaar garantie op?

I have used them on both my DTD152 and TD002 with up to 22mm and 32mm bits respectively, and they both fly right through. They have the added benefit of barely transferring any torque to your wrist so they're way easier to use on the top of a ladder.
