I got a bit carried away trying to make a WiFi captive portal. A lot of the tutorials online are incomplete or underspecified, so I wanted to make sure this gets indexed.

Lmao really fun. I guess you're using a network request, but I wonder if you can access the models that the photos app seems to use locally.

I thought it was a scale of code that could have been included in Abbe. https://github.com/US-Artificial-Intelligence/abbey

Was the motivation for separating it based on security considerations, as stated in the "Security Considerations"? https://github.com/US-Artificial-Intelligence/ScrapeServ?tab...

Yes, sort of - that and scaling reasons. It's actually in that same repo now but in a different service. I'd like to remove it from the Abbey repo entirely eventually.

Thanks, I'm always on the lookout for people with suspicious or over-exaggerated credentials cough-Lex Friedman-cough. Is the national security paper public? Is it something about Ufimstev?

Hi, it is unfortunately not public and cannot be made so to my understanding. It was frustrating to talk about in job interviews for that reason and therefore was not on the LinkedIn.

A) Thanks for sharing your OSS with the world!!

B) I'm also a little confused. Surely that domain cost(s) $$$ -- why not go with a cute "us" branding rather than "U.S."? Unless you're looking to sell in other countries where maybe U.S. expertise is a selling point, this definitely comes across like you're pretending to be part of the government.

EDIT: For comparison, we.ai costs $500,000/y (!!!)

EDIT2: It looks like you're positioning yourself as a defense/govt contractor, thus the branding? That's certainly cool, but IMHO, if I were you and owned that domain, I'd offer it to Palantir for $$$$$ and just go with your second choice. They're currently starting in on a whole genocide/global war thing, so they have cash to burn!

Hi thanks! The domain actually used to be a redirect link to U.S. Automotive Industries (a trade publication). I reached out to them and got a deal, so it was a lot for me but not, like, we.ai expensive lol.

The name was always a corporate placeholder and I liked the idea of US Steel or General Electric type names. Some startups have done similar things, and many people actually like the name a ton. But I know it's controversial and so any products I made have their own names and branding that's pretty separate (see: Abbey).

Over the past few months I've gone the gov contracting route and the name actually made some sense, so I've used it raw. Still, the plan is to get a DBA in the near future and switch it up. Thanks for the advice!
