It's nuts to me that I can't tell if this is an AI response or not. I feel like 80% sure this is a robot.

that sounds like a great idea! I'll return 3 when peers ask me for a random number, and then I'll start seeing if that seed shows us in any prominent RSA private keys

fwiw, I take sites like this and use chrome's option to make them stand-alone apps. (three dots -> more tools -> create shortcut -> open as window)

in reality, more often than you'd like, the proceeds of these projects go straight to scammers who don't actually have the rights to the source itself.

My dissertation used a lot of dask code, and I found it to be an amazingly powerful tool for helping me to glue a few dozen other libraries together and orchestrate them as a single distributed system. sure it's half done spark, but if it were fully done spark I couldn't have used it as flexibly.

as a warning, I've heard that the big spreadsheet makers considered this and eventually passed on the idea. I believe the logic is that spreadsheet users don't understand ML, and if you want to do ML, you probably know how to export a spreadsheet.

As someone else who works on systems like these, I agree training data is the whole problem. However you can use some techniques like homomorphic encryption and gradient pooling to collect training data from client code while remaining end-to-end encryption. It's hard, but it's not impossible.

I'm curious if there's a market for people who want to buy small projects like this. I imagine there's a lot of projects that are already on GitHub with a small following with owners that would like to cash out, but I'm not sure there's a market of buyers looking to pick up repos?

I think I agree with you, but then what about something like Hearthstone? How much glitz would they have to add before a digital version of the same phenomenon be considered gambling, if presentation were the metric?
