I've been deeply embedded in the Google ecosystem for a really long time, but was able to wean myself off of Chrome and move over to Firefox. It took a couple of tries but I would highly recommend trying to stick with it. For one, Google is disabling ad blockers on Chrome and is generally less secure than firefox.

What is urbit?

Snow day with my good boy.

ChatGPT 4 is live!

OpenAI has released GPT-4, a large multimodal model that exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks.

The model accepts image and text inputs and emits text outputs.

The text input capability is being released via ChatGPT and API, and OpenAI Evals is being open-sourced to allow for reporting of model shortcomings.

Full details: https://openai.com/research/gpt-4

My dog won't bark to be let back in. We have to set a timer every time we let him out. I live in the northeast US so it can be dangerous in the winter.

API only if I'm understanding it correctly. Not for the OpenAI chat version.

Let it snow! 🏂

We haven't had much snow where I live in upstate NY this season. Looking forward to it!

Seems like banks are a Ponzi scheme in their own right.

They take your money and then only keep a portion of it on hand for you to take back. The rest of it they use for their other business ventures. Similar concept to Ponzi schemes.

Ponzi schemes can run indefinitely as long as a majority of the investors don't ask for their money back at the same time. Same as the banks? But when they do it they get a bail out.

Vinyl sales have been increasing year after year and have been one of the 'fastest growing' mediums for music for some time. Apparently 2022 is the first time that vinyl sales have been higher than CD sales since '87.

It's hard enough to get people to pay a one time fee of 5000 SATS.

I've given up on the idea of a for profit relay. In all actuality I don't even see myself breaking even.

For me it comes down to wanting to contribute to the ecosystem and the sense of community building that it gives me.

Looks like #[6] considered adding it at some point #[3]

In Amethyst I tap the three dots next to the note and tap "broadcast."

If I add new relays sometimes I'll go back on some of my older notes and push them to relays this way.
