If it could output PNG, it could be adapted as a code block with its own language in org-mode.

Is there something similar for org-mode?

You can’t. The later values depend on the earlier ones, so changing the early tokens invalidates your whole cache. This is also probably why leading with a question works better in the first place. All later processing conditions on the que

As a PoC who has benefited from IRC, I don’t see how they would even know you’re not white unless you tell them yourself. Can you elaborate on your experience?

ChatGPT is pretty good at coding. I have been using its LaTeX capabilities, where bugs don’t matter.

If you don’t want other humans to remix information you have broadcasted, then don’t broadcast in the first place. It’s not like you haven’t been using other people’s ideas in your “original” work.

org-mode has some spaced repetitions tools (e.g., org-drill). I personally don't recommend SR by flashcards too much. It's better to do it more naturally. For example, read books regularly to learn a language; common words will re

GPL found a way to utilize an evil law to do some good. What we need is to first scrap the evil law, then pass a FOSS protection act. (Besides, a 10 year copyrighted is so long that GPL would still be mostly enforced.)

That’s a you problem. I have never needed such protection. Perhaps don’t do drugs so that you don’t need to demand chaining everyone.

It should be Free. People are okay with literally stealing money from corporations in the name of “tax,” yet they balk at making SDKs Free? Platforms should capture some of the economic returns to have good incentives to improve, but the ma

Not at all. The monolithic App Store has been terrible for users. They even impose censorship on social media apps. Having alternative stores by Meta et al is excellent. More choice, more competition, less rentseeking, more innovation.

These encrypted DNS services are usually blocked here in Iran. The unencrypted ones are compromised, too. I use self-hosted dnscrypt.

As a third world resident, I don’t see any solutions to this problem. You can’t give discounts, as that will enable arbitrage.

There is OPT and BLOOM, which need lots of expensive GPUs to run. Not as good as GPT3, IMO. I doubt there will be any good local alternatives in a year. StableDiffusion needed light compute, not at all comparable to these beasts.

This is an unfalsifiable claim.

Running emacs in tmux over SSH can be faster than TRAMP. TRAMP gets very biggy when you have a lot of third-party elisp extensions.

I had this thought, too. Most people probably haven’t read the article at all. They are repeating what others have said the article contained.

This is not true. The probability of ending up with nothing is only one in the limit. The probability for any finite tries is close to one, but not one. The EV keeps growing exponentially, as the rewards are growing even faster than the pro

Even assuming your slander and its presuppositions, professing a racist belief is worse than stealing billions in NYT’s books.

You can use the TTY emacs over SSH (or MOSH) without TRAMP. It only transmits the terminal display so it’s fast regardless of third-party extensions. VS Code remote is actually a negative for me, as it needs fast, stable connections and con

I think this is a solid approach.

Emacs can shell out just fine. Even the opposite is possible: You can ask a running emacs server to eval arbitrary code. I use both frequently.

You can use vanilla org-mode with ID links. Or you can define a custom link type in org-mode, where the sky is the limit. Or you use org-roam V2.

Obsidian is good, but emacs UX and power are on a whole other level if you invest in it. I recently integrated and extended a presentation mode for my org files. It allowed me to reuse all my emacs goodies when creating slides, and all the
