    I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.

    I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

    Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?

    Why do we limit the power of ebikes, but not the power of cars?
    Why do we build roads without consultation, but cycle lanes need endless trials and consultations?
    Why do we limit the assist speed of ebikes, but cars have no max speed limiters

    I do feel like a dirty YouTuber jumping on the ‘trend’ with Mr McKinnon but daaaamn. The video is doing well ha.

    I won’t make a habit of it. It doesn’t really offer much value to anyone, but sometimes it’s nice to get an ‘easy’ win.

    Take the win!

    But also, does he really edit his own videos still? I would have assumed he had hired that out long ago by now.

    When I apply for a mortgage at my Woke Bank, they don't ask for any of the typical financial information that other banks seek out. They just give you a quiz about the history of redlining. If you pass, mortgage!

    Wow!

    Here is a link to the entire code base: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1v45UprB-fzSeWk4wTnYJEx4dEeW2DnYw?usp=sharing.

    Remember:

    1. Get an API KEY from https://www.tryleap.ai/.

    It's odd what the web has decided are worthy to be native, usable, out of the box controls and what aren't. Like buttons, images, checkboxes, dropdowns... people should have those. But progress bars, tabs, segmented controls, real lists/grids, loading spinners... nobody needs those. They're even taking more native controls away, like the input/alert modals. I know I look at web development through a native developer lens, and wish the web was as good as native development, but it's still interesting to think about.

    There is a new W3C community group working to change that!

    Oof. Sounds like a terrible game.
    So maybe not even related to NBC? Just people trying to get SEO juice by linking to them? I don't get the rules of this gross house of cards.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah, I think the idea is to clone articles on popular topics from major new sites, and send them all pingbacks to get the back-links to boost the ranking of the spam site. SEO can DIAF.

    well that was unexpected! I have a "secret" hashtag in the post, so the post shows up on the #indieweb hashtag page even though I didn't mention #indieweb in the post at all!

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
