I love using replit to write tools for completing small tasks. I recently used it to send out a SMS via twilio to my entire hs class for our 10 year reunion.
Re:What's the best AWS S3 protocol alternative? on Wednesday May 31, 2023 @02:27PM (#36141928)
Storj uplink package has benefits around parallelism, erasure-coding, etc that improves on S3 protocol in many ways: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-uplink-...

I don't see why intent of the artist matters.

As a human, I have a natural right to take inspiration from content, use facts I learn from books, concepts from art, jokes from movies, etc.

Don't see why using a machine to augment/extend this capability is any different

If you don't want people seeing your art and learning from it, then why would you post it on the internet in the first place?
This is how you unlock productivity and drive human flourishing.

Re:Ask HN: How to Compete with Cloudflare on Tuesday September 27, 2022 @02:25PM (#32999140)
Best way to compete with Cloudflare is to use decentralized cloud storage options, that are compatible with S3, cheaper, and faster – like storj.io

This would be even more awesome if the underlying object storage was distributed on web3 via storj (would generate better bandwidth margins too)

The "amount of human lives cost" is also not a real thing, because we have an incomplete picture of elasticity for market substitutes for energy demand (which is nearly all goods, because they all require energy)

Point is - using your dryer does not actually cause human suffering. This is a simply a utilitarian argument with an incomplete picture, the structure of which is often utilized to promote atrocities like communism, genocide, etc.

Re:Sell Bitcoin, Save Lives: Some Bitcoin Simulators on Tuesday April 26, 2022 @11:27AM (#31168678)
Unscientific, sensationalist, and pretty much wrong.

It’s just not a great argument, and doesn't consider the opposition argument - the human rights benefits (for people fleeing war zones, in predatory monetary regimes, etc.) are worth the electricity usage – because people/the market are valuing it that way.

Dryers are unnecessary - we could airdry all of our clothes, but we value the convenience it brings. The value that bitcoin brings in terms of human rights is much greater than the convenience of dryers, yet we hear nothing about "banning dryers" or "dryers killing people".

Ethereum gas is just a measurement of blockspace demand on a specific difficulty epoch, has nothing to do with real gas or energy
Re:Show HN: I made a privacy-first minimalist Backblaze on Sunday March 06, 2022 @02:11PM (#30580191)
Would be cool to back this to decentralized cloud storage (should be pretty easy to do via Storj S3 integration): https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-aws-sdk...

Or even Restic directly: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/backup-with-restic/

Re:AWS S3? Cloudflare R2? We think we know what's coming next on Thursday October 07, 2021 @01:12PM (#28789289)
Yeah, as long as you have good uptime. Check out storj.io/node
Re:AWS S3? Cloudflare R2? We think we know what's coming next on Thursday October 07, 2021 @12:38PM (#28788711)
Decentralized Cloud Storage services, like Storj DCS – are really interesting when compared to R2/S3. They are compatible with AWS S3, but with better economics than both R2 and S3 (1/10 price of amazon) - https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-aws-sdk...
