This is going to be big business I think. I have probably sent hundreds of thousands of emails, texts, chats, etc. It would be well within the realm of possibility to train an LLM on a loved ones communications corpus and allow you to chat with "them" after they're gone.

Possible? Yes. Convincing results? Probably. Good idea? I doubt it.

Oh man, I did this with my dad's voice after he died and set up a thing where I could talk with an LLM-backed assistant and have it respond in his voice and mannerisms. It was a very weird coping and grief period and I ultimately hit a point where I got really weirded out about what I was doing.

At any given time, I'm working on like 10 different projects. tmux lets me set up sessions for each of these projects, so that when I leave one and come back in a week, all the context is there (multiple windows, bash history, working directories I was in, etc)

Since I work with big biological data, most of my work takes place on our university cluster, which means my laptop is just a dumb terminal and all of the action takes place on the server. IME, tmux is especially powerful with coupled with mosh, which gives a persistent SSH connection. That means I can be in the middle of a project, close my laptop lid, go home, then later that evening, open my lid and everything is reconnected and just right there. Same if I reboot my laptop - one command to reconnect my terminal with mosh, and I'm back in the middle of my complicated multi-window project.

I used to work on CECL and stress testing models for large banks and i used tmux similarly. Lots of scripts that would take like 6 hours to run.

It always does.

> Well, it teaches me to do more diverse tests when doing destructive operations.

Or add some logging and do a dry run and check the results, literally simple prints statements:

    print("-----")
    print("Downloading videos ids from url: {url}")
    print(list of ids)
    ...
    ...
    ...
    # delete()  dangerous action commented out until I'm sure it's right
    print("I'm about to delete video {id}")

    print("Deleted {count} videos") # maybe even assert
    ...

Then dump out to a file and spot check it five times before running for real.

I do this, too, but I also take a count of the expected number of items to be deleted as well. If my collection I'm iterating over doesn't have exactly that number of objects I expect, I don't proceed.

If you created a secondary market for paper-links and let others run paper-nodes, you'd be filthy rich in a matter of months

I think I just found my cofounder.

Another suggestion: add "previous link" and "next link" button to the link viewer :).

mipmap04 · 4 years ago

Done!

You should add the meta tags for social networks on the viewer page. The summary_large_image version should be cool. You can test the feature here: https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator :).

Thanks for the advice, BlockPaper holder #14. I'm a back-end dev so this stuff is mostly arcane to me. I'll check it out!

Can I send you cash?

mipmap04 · 4 years ago

Only if you exchange it for hoops of paper on a chain in my home office.

What plans do you have to present periodic snapshots of the full chain? I'm uncomfortable going all in until I can be sure that my links won't be edited out.

mipmap04 · 4 years ago

I'm thinking about adding a live Twitch stream of the chain, but that sounds like a lot of work so I'll probably just upload periodic pictures of it in a pile on my floor to Twitter every few days and charge $5,000 if people want to come audit it physically.

Smart people taking time and effort to make fun of something is the ultimate compliment!

This is the kind of satire that pushes me to go dig deeper into cryptocurrencies and figure out what's world changing and what's chaff. Been listening to the Zero Knowledge podcast recently to learn about ZK Proofs: https://zeroknowledge.fm/

Bold of you to think I'm smart! Thanks for checking it out.

That's good to hear. I'll just pull all my investments from my goat farm and civboot.org and put it all in block paper then. Thanks for making everything so much easier!

Now THIS is a smart investor. Good call.

I make stuff. Some of it useful, a lot of it not. All of it's great.
