how is this different than cmux or soloterm? or just having my own panes within iTerm?
I guess I need to learn/use tmux and see the benefits.. considering I work locally and can leave my iterm open for days I still haven't caught on to why it's so cool.
good catch, I think the classifier saw the "distribution" in the sentence and assumed it was drug related. I could probably run each sentence against an ai model to classify things..
probably run it against something small like haiku and not cost me an arm and a leg.
I don't know what SPARQL is.. so no :)
are you asking me? if so.. I don't think I understand your question.
I'm thinking of exposing the sqlite db, and now possibly this JSON file as well.. I can take both during the build process and throw them up on CF. Great idea, thank you.
It's a play on Donald Trump, after watching a Liz Oyer video linking a very plausible pardon for sale scheme, I wanted to initially build a site that showcased pardons just by Trump, but I realized that would be partisan and not as useful.
that is in the works. Working on making sure the data of the pardons is correct first.
i am calculating it if it's available in the sentence details. If the sentence details don't have a fine or restitution then we can't calculate it.
@nonameiguess I agree on the pardon buying, the reason why I started looking into building this was because of a video by Liz Oyer, who pointed out all the restitution and fines that were being forgiven under Trump.
That's kind of how I came upon the name for the site, I wanted to see if there is any truth to the rumors that people are selling and buying pardons. In order to investigate that, we needed a set of data to start from, in a manner that was easily queryable as opposed to what's on the DOJ website.
I did not know that. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks for the heads up on that.. there's a lot of massaging/cross checking that still needs to be done. Right now the numbers are based purely on what the sentence is described on the DOJ website.
https://www.justice.gov/pardon/clemency-grants-president-don...
cmd-f trevor milton .. if the text for the sentence column doesn't say anything about a fine or restitution the system is not going to be able to figure that out.
The numbers for the prison time reduced is also technically incorrect, Ross Ulbricht, Rod Blagojevich and many others had already served many years in prison, so technically we should not count that as time reduced.
A bunch of mass commutations have occurred under Obama, Biden, and most recently under Trump, I'm working on a comparison tool, so we can visualize the change in number of pardons by president, further breakdown of composition is an interesting idea as well.
That disclaimer is there for now to make it clear that we're not showing that data yet. I need to figure out how to show the mass commutations done by Biden as well.
Working on a comparison tool, so we can see # of pardons over admins, it seems the number of pardons has been going up each administration.
So this was the first time (i think) anyone got a preemptive pardon, the actual warrant on the DOJ website says what it says..
https://www.justice.gov/pardon/media/1385756/dl?inlineWill have to crunch through the offenses in the db and see if anything else like this shows up.

Can you elaborate on who it helps and how? The screenshots aren't helpful.. perhaps a video of how you use it, and how it helps you?
Hi,
The site looks cool, but I'm curious what part of it is GPT-powered? In your video you said the job descriptions are summarized by ChatGPT, so is that the "What you'll do" part ?

Learn the law in your state, figure out what forms you need to fill out yourself. I believe you file motions "pro se".
If you say you're as good as you are, figuring this stuff out for you should be easy, I understand the funk you're in.. but as you can see.. there are complete strangers rooting for you, and your family. Sometimes you just need to see things from a different perspective.
I'm sorry that you're going through this. Unfortunately, the system is rigged against you, even if you feel like you have been rehabilitated, done your time in prison, and paid your dues.
With that in mind, you may have to change careers, you're very fortunate that you're not still locked up, or civilly committed.. which happens quite a bit in TX. I'm not sure where in the USA you're located.. but have you considered talking to your local workforce commission? you may need to become a day laborer, a welder, and take on some dirty jobs, but you're not alone.. there are plenty of SO s that are gainfully employed.. they may not have the obligations you have, but they're making do. One of the hardest things for you will be the transition from white collar to blue collar.. it can be done.
And quit that crap about dying.. if you really mean it when you say you want to provide for your children, do it.. where there is a will, there is a way.. and all those other cliches.
It's not over for you just yet.
So.. are you saying that if you're following this guide here
https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/ to use Pi-hole with DoH with Cloudflare, that because all requests are queried against Cloudflare, CF still knows what urls I'm looking for, and they can use this information to track me , or build a profile of me.
So, I need to figure out if I want to share my queries with my ISP or Cloudflare?
