How are you handling privacy / security / confidentiality if I upload all this data? No way I could use this for work.

Yes actually that it's not a trivial topic.

What I can do is to make it very transparent on how data is managed.

The files content are appended to the context builder, then the context and messages are processed through OpenRouter, which is a provider that offers APIs to all the AI models, and the output generated (and the account data) is stored on a secured database on Mongodb platform.

It’s all defined in the privacy policy here: https://contextch.at/docs/privacy-policy/index.html

Because I unfortunately still need to eat and if I'm fired that will be much harder

I am a layperson for astrochemistry but IIRC comets have much higher hydrocarbon content by an order of magnitude or more (and obviously more water, fewer metals to contend with for extraction energy requirements).

Anyone have more insights? Did I miss mention of comets in my skim of the paper?

Ps usually HN not a punfest, but kudos for the Starmite(tm) @andai

I think comets are significantly harder to get a hold of; they're in long-period orbits, and changing their trajectories - or even catching up with them! - is significantly harder than catching something that circles the sun inside the orbit of Jupiter.

But could you use the hydrocarbons on the comet as fuel to change the orbit to a desirable one?

Voyager, with with deflection nukes.

Asking Americans to read a French name that is a homonym for “clod” may not be the best mass market decision.

Plot twist: regular users don't care what model underneath is called or how it works.

I have a nonfiction draft built on conversations between 4 friends. Started as a regular nonfiction book but quickly realized the desired mainstreet audience would never read it. I created personas (as in UX style goal-directed design personas) to describe each character’s background, POV, goals, expertise, values, concerns and questions. Different than anything else I’ve ever written. Still very rough but rewarding.

Noto doesn't ship with OS, and users need multiple fonts for different use cases.

Grandparent comment is saying that Microsoft, Google, Apple could settle on a common set of open licence fonts and bundle them with the OS (and Linux distros / other OSS OSes could also do the same). Then web design & dev could rely on those fonts without having to locally serve them, or embed with Google fonts, etc. Noto could indeed be one of the bundled fonts in this alternate reality.

But no real incentive for any of those big players to do so, and disincentive for Google who gain surveillance data from font embeds as noted elsewhere in thread.

Although if you're not too picky about the finer details or being perfectly consistent across every platform, the system fonts are generally good enough nowadays to put together a pretty decent stack without having to resort to serving web fonts.

Even if you are using web fonts, those stacks make for good fallbacks.

Apple ships six Noto fonts (non-Latin alphabets) with the current version of MacOS.

Horses evolved in North America, and disappear from the fossil record along with other megafauna about 10,000 years ago.

Clovis people almost certainly interacted with horses, but likely as food.

One of the ways you become authentic is by practicing something you want to become. It’s doing the thing consistently that leads to character development. Also, if you and your partner value different love languages (my partner is meh on flowers, I spent time in high school doing floral arrangements) then having a guide to help you translate could be super helpful. Disappointed this is EU and USA only for now but will see if it shows up in my country soon.

jmcmaster Thank you for taking the time to comment!! Let me know where you are from and I can let you know. I'm working as fast as possible, but I'm also being careful, I really don't want to do anything wrong with the datalaws. So for now we are only publishing when we know we are good, legally speaking.

Which is why if you're job searching you should spend a decent chunk of your time making connections. Go to meetups, work on open source, volunteer, join a hackathon if such a thing still exists near you as well as "job board" job searching.

I read the evergreen "What Color is Your Parachute" when I was 18 or so (before the web), and it profoundly affected my take on job search (and sales). It gets updated pretty regularly though the original author has passed not that long ago.

23 years in and all my (contract) work comes from my network. Parent comment is the advice you need.

It's never too late to start, but it is hard to do on demand. Also the way you behave within a company will follow you. If you're NotAnAsshole™, can do the job and I've worked with you I'll help you get your next job for the rest of your career.

Don't work on open source if you're just trying to pump up your resume. Contribute only to projects you use and can make actually valuable contributions to. It does look good on a resume but telling people to do it because it looks good on a resume hurts the open source community imo.

Dall-E readily generates an image of Tintin fighting Godzilla in the style of the Hergé comics.

How much more IP liability exposure do LLM companies have? NYT just the biggest so far…

Microsoft Research had early implementation for this kind of visual sign language translation with Kinect & ASL recognition in 2013 or so. I expect that with the death of Kinect in the market it stayed lab-bound.
