I built my own editor on top of the API, which I ran at home, yeah. You can see the code and/or run it yourself at https://github.com/indentlabs/gpt-3-writer, but it's very rough and not really ready for public use. Just make sure your OpenAI secret key is set in ENV['OPENAI_SK'] and you should be able to run it yourself.

I also built a more polished version to add to the Notebook.ai document editor (so writers can get some continuation prompts whenever they get a bit of writer's block), but the pricing made it unfeasible to actually release. Notebook.ai is also open source though, and you can see the GPT-3 functionality in the unmerged PR here: https://github.com/indentlabs/notebook/pull/739
Monero is an actual coin with a blockchain, mineable by normal people, low fees, good transaction speed and always on privacy features that actually work. Shib is just a meme token created to compete with dogecoin.
I don't think there is a 1500 feet paper plane record.
Right, so, in the world of secure messaging, there's nothing in the world less trustworthy than a public Internet email server, and MTA-STS doesn't change that; it makes dragnet surveillance of email harder (and does something else you & I will disagree about) and is a good thing, but doesn't change the comparison here at all. What is needed is a mechanism that ensures that a secure exchange between two people never suddenly becomes plaintext email exposed to any server.

With respect to the comparative failure modes: a single accidental plaintext reply can expose dozens of participants. If we're not LARPing, if we're seriously talking about protecting people organizing against state-level security services, we have to confront the sheer blast radius of that mistake, which happens all the time even to people who routinely use PGP'd email.

Further: if the premise is that our adversaries have state-level resources, we have to assume they're recording all the time. You can't accidentally send plaintext ever. There's no takebacks if you do. It's irrevocable. If your email group sees a plaintext quote-reply, you have to grab your go-bag, thermite your hard drive, and make your way to the border, right now.

Once again: this is a mistake that people who well understand encrypted email make all the time.

It is irresponsible to encourage at-risk people to use PGP-encrypted email. It's malpractice.

I think there's a strong argument that we should permit the mortgage interest deduction in order to keep owner-occupied real estate on equal footing with commercially-owned real estate (the expenses of which are inherently deductible by profit-seeking corporations).

Otherwise, we create financial hurdles for people to buy houses that don't exist for landlords, which I think is poor policy.
Knossos area ftom the ruins until the mountains what you saw is only what has been dug up. It would need thousands of years with the current yearly budget to dig up the area. For Mycenes which is not Minoan and a lot smaller the estimation was that they would need 200 years to excavate the whole city.

Knossos is great, just get there early. Ignore the signs that explain the rooms. If you notice they say `According to Sleeman this was.... '. But nobody really knows. Late Minoans that stayed there and had lost the capability/technology to build that big, did not know the building' s function either.

Germany is a Federal Republic and so is the USA. Germany has states as well.

I grant you that they are different forms of federal republic, but the point that California is not a country stays the same.

I don't care what kind of power the federal government of the United States has or doesn't have. That is a problem for the US to figure out for themselves.

I don't think that when people compare European nations to the US that they are speaking about the US federal government specifically or imply anything about the power of the US federal government. What is more likely is that they are asking why the people of the USA have not archived what people of other countries take for granted. The fact that this would have to be archived via state or federal government is a detail at best.

Thanks for pointing this out! I never thought about this. To me the biggest long term threat to btc is the shift in block rewards from mined coins to transaction fees. I am assuming a possibly much smaller security budget available for “wasting energy”. But at that point it still might be enough as there is no network effect supporting new pow chains anymore, that could threaten btc security by having more sha hashpower.

It strikes me as rather unintuitive that the brain should be generating its own “out-of-distribution” data. It’s training itself on itself? Compare with an adversarial network, which can be composed of two entirely separate entities, whereas the biological brain is know to have a lot of “bleed-through”, e.g. our memories influence our perception and vice versa.

In theory. Which is what the current stakeholders want. That was the value offer to do this in the first place.

Either way, you end up with a currency that is far more centralized than most stable paper currencies. The number of large stakeholders in Etherum is probably measured in the thousands. PoS will just further consolidate the stakeholders over time.

Ethereum isn't even reasonably transactable anymore. A single transaction costs like $40. As an actual currency, it died the same fate that Bitcoin did.

Too few people hold too many coins, and then they make rules that only benefit increasing the price.

As someone else mentioned many of the higher end new cameras are moving XQD or something similar that is faster I presume to deal with video.

With that said, I have cameras that use SD cards and don't see the need for an SD port. I have usbc adapters that are not much bigger than the SD card that I can use on my MBA or iPad. With LR, I can basically load my days pics on either device and have them available everywhere.

I'm very skeptical they are adding back SD, so we'll see. I think MagSafe is going to be something like what came to the latest iPhone and not what people think of traditional MagSafe. Or maybe they'll add something to the usbc port that works like MagSafe if using an Apple cable.
It's also an incentive to pay immediately, and tell no one about it.

Shiba Inu is just a token on the Etherum chain.

There is no privacy and they've done some weird stuff to play the numbers.

E.g. they sent half of all SHIB to the creator of Etherum, why? Because that doubles the "circulating supply" and therefore market cap while not increasing the available supply at all.

This is a scheme to artificially increase the market cap, which mostly worked because VB burned 95% of all the SHIB he got & it got a lot of press.

If you want to run GraphQL queries against this kind of data I have a roundabout way of doing it:

1. Set up a repo that uses actions to scrape data into a CSV

2. Set up another action that converts that CSV to SQLite (using my sqlite-utils tool) and then...

3. Publishes that database to Cloud Run or Vercel with Datasette and with the datasette-graphql plugin

Here's an example repo that does exactly that: https://github.com/simonw/cdc-vaccination-history

It scrapes vaccination data from the CDC, complies that into a SQLite database and publishes it using Datasette on Vercel at https://cdc-vaccination-history.datasette.io/

Then you can run GraphQL queries at https://cdc-vaccination-history.datasette.io/graphql

(Here's the plugin: https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-graphql)

It's not enough to characterize every disparate outcome as "systemic racism" and then to "fight systemic racism". We need to talk about what are the specific unjust factors that contribute to these disparities and identify solutions to combat them.

An example of putting forth a concrete, actionable model and proposing a solution might be (and note that this is only an example):

* jurors are more likely to convict a black defendant than a white defendant

* we believe that jurors see racial disparities in crime committance and project them onto defendants

* to combat this, we might try promoting cultural integration to reduce the racial disparities in crime committance as well as advocating for colorblind antiracism so jurors are less likely to see a defendant as a token of his race

The important thing is that the example (1) puts forth a testable model for how the system works and (2) proposes solutions based on that model. You may find yourself disagreeing with our hypothetical model, and that's fine. Note that you can even debate it because it's testable (you can probably conceive of data which rebut it). This is in contrast to esoteric debates about systemic racism, which seem more religious in nature than useful for combatting unjust disparities.

A socialized defense force against these sort of ransom attacks seems a bit antithetical to the American culture - taxes would go up and profits down to provide a service that only exists for a few "market losers".

Many of these abatements are over a period of time making the net-present-value of the abatement lower than the face value, which also provides some insurance against a project failure (whereupon you can stop the future abatements in a way that you can't as easily claw back a check that's already been cashed by a company that’s now bankrupt).

An update: almost nobody pays for Photopea, and all my reports are from users who use it for free. I fixed over 3000 issues so far, some took minutes, others took weeks: https://github.com/photopea/photopea/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%...

A "popular" issue is, that people use an extension, which renames files saved by Photopea to .TXT. It is reported several times a week and every time, I tell people to disable an extension. They often argue, that it can not be caused by an extension, or even lie, that they disabled it and it did not help.

I think the posters point is that thinking of it that way might be missing an important motivation behind many taxes, which is maintaining the power base by helping those seen as supporters and hurting those seen as detractors.

If thinking of an abstract incentive/disincentive structure, you could phrase it as ‘incentivizing those who support me to continue to support me’, and ‘disincentivized those who don’t support me from continuing to not support me’, but those are never the reasons given. To their point, the reasons given can or are often transparently be seen to be the more direct reason, but always have a smokescreen with rational justifications as to why they are not.

If you don’t look at underlying motivations, it’s easy to get caught up in the rational (smokescreen) reasons for something and chase your own tail endlessly without addressing the underlying causes. My 2c

Sure, but the store that accepted the invalid credit card has traditionally been on the hook. The store is the one being targeted even if the person whose credit card was stolen can get off with disputing the charge.

And before everything was networked, there was no way for a store to check with the credit card company that the card wasn't reported stolen. That's the trusting people part, it's the store that is trusting people without the ability to even verify that the card hasn't been reported stolen.

Yes, there is a paper trail, but the situation I'm talking about is analogous to a bad check or a counterfeit bill -- there's no recourse if the bad actor can't be found and the store is on the hook.
