This is really slow unless you figure out how to encrypt large batches of rows. It’s harder to do as a postgres plug-in. Do you have an example of enclaved today/transparent database encryption?

I use the OpenAI playground because I'm paranoid that third party frontends will steal my API keys and I don't have enough time to audit the code or set up firewall rules.

Yes, I completely agree. There's plenty of tech available to achieve many of the goals of functionality, affordability, and privacy a motivated team of developers could have. Just that it's often unnecessarily difficult to build a

With the introduction of CBDCs, FedNow, and platforms like TFA, it's starting to look like TradFi is getting the second-mover advantage. Cryptocurrency introduced programmable money, which is great, but it also came with other features

Ah, thanks for catching that. On the website ( https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/configurator.html ) I read "up!" as "Golf" for some reason. Indeed the Golf is about the price you quoted.

Is that the Dacia Sandero? The VW Up! (not Golf, my mistake) is ~15k EUR. My knowledge cutoff transitively only goes up to 2021, so I can't be sure which one you mean, but I am curious.

MJ’s problem for me at least is that it is incapable of generating unaesthetic things. I gave it the classic list of negative prompts (blurry, grainy, deformed hands, etc.) and got a pretty image back, so I cancelled and switched to Micro

I was searching for implementations to get a more concrete idea of the algorithm and came across https://github.com/Yawning/secp256k1-voi which appears to be well commented, robust, and oddly entertaining. It’s got Sch

This study has some nice data in it, but they didn't really start with a very strong hypothesis, to my understanding. The paper starts with a citation about stress being inversely associated with telomere length, and proposes that psil
