I'm a bit behind on the times, but I'm failing to see how the philosophy of effective altruism and cryptocurrency are related. Do you know how the two got intertwined?

From everything I've seen, Org Mode is basically everything that I've ever wanted in a productivity/note-taking app. The only problem is that I would have to use Emacs...
I know Org Mode is extremely tied in to Emacs' core, but if someone could figure out how to separate it into a vscode extension or something, that'd be really cool

Thank you so much! Glad it brought you some enjoyment!

I can't help but have a sinking feeling that this as a result of the wider trend of using only Chromium-based browsers. If they were the ones affected by this issue, I feel like it would get solved almost immediately.

That's actually a fantastic idea! I'll add it in my next update

I had a good chuckle putting my colleague's names in it - everyone was a superstar, famous poet, or swimmer of some sort. Any good ones you wouldn't mind sharing?

I thought about using wikidata, but I'm not quite sure how I would feed it into the neural network. It's definitely a possibility though!

Hey HN! I've been lurking for a while now and I've finally created something that I feel is worth sharing.
I've called this project "Tensorpedia." At its core, Tensorpedia takes in a title and utilizes it as a prompt for GPT-2 to synthesize the introductory part of a Wikipedia article. The machine learning stuff is written using a wonderful library called aitextgen [0], using Wikipedia's "Vital Articles" as a data set [1]. The server is written in Node, and it uses Redis as an article cache. If you want to read my article about it (for some reason), you can check it out here [2].
I created this project to get more experience with server technologies. While I wouldn't say it's a complicated application, I learned quite a lot from it.
Additionally, as I was inspired by all of those this-x-doesn't-exist projects from a while back, this project is mostly for fun. As such, I don't know how much practical use it has, but I've generated some pretty hilarious articles from it.

I actually remember seeing this about 9 or 10 years or so ago! It no doubt inspired me to peruse a degree in Computer Science. Thanks for the nostalgia!
