Thanks, impressive full-stack work. I'm sure this was named long before Musk decided to set 44B and change on fire but at first I confused it with Twitter's own LLM thing.

Complaining about porn (mostly gay/trans/furry stuff, although even the straight kind is NOT something I want on my phone when idly scrolling on a bus or a train in public, or ever really) routinely ending in the default timeline, which is apparently a capital offense threatening the livelihood of sex workers and furry "artists".

BlueSky is the only place where I have ever received death threats, the only place where I ended in multiple blocklists for upsetting god knows whom, and the only place where I had to block hundreds of accounts to avoid getting porn and questionable furry stuff in the main timeline, even with moderation on.

But it seems to work fine for a particular brand of extremely online people.

You mean a GMail replacement? It does not look like it does anything other than email, which is only one piece of Workspace.

It is quite impressive, and it will not shy away from having to do simple arithmetic, unlike GPT4! But man the hoops you have to go through to use it if you are not in the list of approved countries...

Wow, I guess this predates GPT, what does it use, scapy?

hobo_mark··on Exploding head syndrome
Wow, I just had this for the first time yesterday morning. I woke up too early for some reason and heard a loud "screech" for a second or so just as I was falling asleep again.
hobo_mark··on Claude 2.1
Since I do not use it every day, I only pay for API access directly and it costs me a fraction of that. You can trivially make your own ChatGPT frontend (and from what people write you could make GPT write most of the code, although it's never been my experience).
hobo_mark··on Ask HN: Any comprehensive courses on Auth?
That is what I'm using but I have to authenticate again every few days. If I used the client library it would autorefresh the token periodically, but that stores the refresh token in local storage. Since that is something you recommend against, I was wondering why.
hobo_mark··on Ask HN: Any comprehensive courses on Auth?
I'm having to deal with this stuff right now. Firebase stores their refresh token in local storage and that allows minting new session tokens once they expire, are they wrong? Is there any other way to remain signed in "forever"? (until logout or until token is revoked)

Most of his vlogs were certainly entertaining, although he's quite creepy around women, used to write appalling stuff on PUA forums, and has been tried for rape at least once when he was younger. Surely there must travel vloggers out there who are also better human beings?

It looks like all the left-leaning porn posters have moved to BlueSky (to the point the main feed was unusable, last I checked).

Naive of me to ask, but how are they allowed to sell anywhere outside of China?

I'm not criticizing. I'd like to understand what might make climbing a tall rock worth losing my life.
