Also this opens the possibility of running these models on Node.js serverless functions no?
That certainly also has to open up possibilities for on-demand predictions?

What a throwback.
This was the only distro that I could fit on a memory stick, which were novel at the time (and memory was $$$ if you can believe that).
I stuck this into a machine I made from parts I found at our recycling center, and threw them in a shoebox.
Good times.

I will have to write a case study on this at some point, but triangle fraudsters have attempted to use our company's delivery service [0] to fulfill curbside pickups from Best Buy etc presumably to unsuspecting e-commerce buyers. I noticed certain a subset of users frequently changing their card, and the name on their delivery, and figured out what they were doing.
We stopped a few dozen attempts, filing police reports and contacting the people with names matching the cards. We now use Stripe Verify to ensure identity matches, which I really would have preferred not to do as a privacy-oriented person.
Interestingly, the police usually didn't want to deal with these things, even if the merchandise was in their jurisdiction
We provide ID verification specifically for eCommerce to help prevent chargeback fraud: https://getverdict.com
This is the first where I've heard of using IDv for preventing triangle fraud on the fulfillment side.
Just curious - how does this fraud harm you the delivery service? The chargeback hits the merchant only no? Or are you the merchant in this transaction as well?

All of these distortions as well as a practical exercise identify and help correct them are available in this book called "Feeling Good" that I think was published in the 80's or 90's.
I've seen them recycled targeting different audiences but the same core principles are used. I just recommend "Feeling Good" because it's on Libby / Amazon < $5.
I started keeping a weekly spreadsheet tracking my BURNS score and made an effort to regularly write down when I have a bad thought and put it on trial to see if it fits any of these distortions.
That paired with exercise alone has made a big difference in my mood.
But that's just all anecdotal.

You don't! As mentioned in the README:
"Note: Don't expose your API key in public-facing apps. We will be adding a solution for securely using your API key soon."
I have ideas how to implement this, but I would like to get some feedback first.
You can proxy your OpenAI calls through a quick Pipedream workflow.
Here's a proof of concept you can copy: https://pipedream.com/new?h=tch_OknfQd
The link makes a new unique API endpoint that proxies your OpenAI API credentials.
It just accepts a "prompt" argument in the HTTP request, but you can modify as needed.
If it does start to be abused, you can add frontend JWTs to check on this backend.

Pipedream has a similar paradigm, and Notion support as well.

You can write your own "Sources" that can poll any API, it even includes deduping for free: https://pipedream.com/docs/components.
I build custom sources all of the time for scraping RSS feeds, WooCommerce stores, and then triggering low code workflows as if they are webhooks.

Serious question, in an interconnected online marketplace how are you supposed to comply with these granular state and sometimes municipal laws.
Is there some kind of monitoring database or notification that you can subscribe to?
It seems very expensive for every single business to have a compliance lawyer specifically for this task of complying with each state's mandates to a tee.
I'd like to see the head of the EPA, the transportation secretary, the executive team at NS, and anybody in the Biden administration who was involved in blocking the rail workers from striking move into East Palestine and live there, with their children.
Don't want to do that because it isn't safe? Then buy these people all new homes. We can start the bidding at $1M per household.
I cannot overstate the fury that I feel watching this unfold. The people living in small midwestern towns, the type of town where I grew up, and where my family lives, are not disposable, and their lives matter exactly as much as the peoples lives who live on Martha's Vinyard, or any other rich enclave.
Can you imagine a tanker load of toxic chemicals spilling into the neighborhood around one of Biden's homes? Or on Mar A Lago? Do you think there would be this much feet dragging about cleaning it up?
It is further demoralizing to watch our President on a tour of Ukraine, giving away tens of billions of dollars to fight a proxy war, when we are having citizens of this country lose their homes to an industrial disaster. No acceptable. If there is money to fund a proxy war, then there is money to make the people in East Palestine whole.
I'm from the Northeast Ohio area, and also from a small town like East Palestine. The lack of response from Governor DeWine and malice to not declare a state of emergency is infuriating.
This rhymes with Flink Michigan's water crisis, and Obama "drinking" the water in a publicity stunt: https://www.factcheck.org/2019/03/posts-distort-facts-on-oba...
Vote democrat and only see the elite placate the working class. Vote republican and see unions and the facade of environmental protections decimated even further.
The fact this isn't covered in NYT or headlines on cable TV is insane. How is this unprecedented disaster affecting a major watershed not higher urgency than fucking balloons.
I thought it was pretty restrictive, no more than 60 writes per minute, but I'm not sure about the reads restrictions.
