Yeah it has been 10 years for me too. But yesterday I downloaded the RC to have my ChatGPT Agent run through my catalog and normalize everything.
Time to pull up Bandcamp and Soulseek and keep adding to my collection.

Yeah, we are talking about 3 20TB drives in a closet here.
I'm an independent photographer and I have my 20TB drives behind my monitor, backing up to backblaze with an offsite synology. Keeping this archive up does take time and money, but PBS should have the budget and IT deparment for this.

I’m curious to know which you believe is overvalued. Is it the model creators, who are essentially producing a commoditized product that will never generate the current inflated values? Or is it the individuals who build useful tools that are only incrementally better than previous solutions? Or is it the companies that are attempting to develop groundbreaking products, but they are perpetually six months to two years away from delivery?

Thanks for posting this, really interesting!
I've been building a wordpress plugin that converts JPEG to AVIF on the local server (since everyone wants to sell a service to convert in the cloud).
As a photographer who wants high quality photos on their portfolio website I love how AVIF respects color more the webp.

Yeah, I used an older version of a bluetooth messaging app like this. We wish it had been available in the times of Tahrir Square, but it was actually helpfull onetime when my bus stopped at a rural Ethiopian bus stop, my girlfriend ran into the bathroom but was taking too long and I was able to warn her that the bus was getting ready to leave.
Wireless internet is getting better, but when you really need something like this, you really need it.

Yeah, I think this is a shift that will be very interesting when commercialized. I already use chatGPT to write odd plugins for wordpress and programs for image and text manipulation. Now I can get an applet to do almost anything simple after an hour of messing around.

He’s also using the foundations copyright to target the primary competitor to his for-profit business, demanding that they invest in the profits of the for-profit company, at the expense of the WordPress open-source community. None of this looks altruistic or for the good of wordpress.org.

Re:Egypt's Pyramids May Have Been Built on a Long-Lost Branch of the Nile

Yeah, I photographed this story for the Smithsonian. It was talking about how the stones were transferred by boat from near Tora to Saqqara.
The water came most of the way up to the now seasonal lake near the pyramids there.
But also the river used to flood so there were some seasons when the water was high enough to easily transport the stone directly from Tora I assume.
