How do you change the model name from the preselected and offered OpenAI GPT model names? I don't see the option to do so.

My grandfather had this poem framed and hanged in his home office and has since been cherished in the family (especially after he passed away). Also a personal favorite.

Re:San Francisco Subway Muzzles Cell Service During Protest on Saturday August 13, 2011 @01:06AM (#2880323)
Additional details on the matter are reported here:

with BART saying they were within their legal right to shut down the cell service. However, the Electronic Frontier Foundation had this to say:

“It’s outrageous that the authorities would resort to the same tactics of the repressive Mubarak regime,” said Kevin Bankston, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “The fact that it was motivated by a desire to stifle free speech raises serious First Amendment problems.”

agreed, here. DocumentCloud integration makes sense, and it's been something we've already been looking into at The Bay Citizen.

It looks to be back up now.

I've been using an RSS feed I created for a while now which also "tries" to include a summary of the article.

It's not perfect, but it helps out quite a bit in getting a little bit more context before deciding to click through a link.
