Sounds like something r/datahoarders would be / may already be into.


Every such provider likes to play games with who they give good rates to or who they exclude altogether from their network. People said the same about cellular access and it's still far too expensive for most people in most rural areas.


Which countries are you referring to? I know from personal experience everyone in Cambodia and Afghanistan owns a mobile phone with internet access. They might not have a computer or reliable power, but they have Facebook accounts. Rest of ASEAN has excellent coverage as well, and I've heard Africa is similar


At the least you need storage for the content ($10-20), and a physical device to read it off of ($20-40). If your community has lots of computers with no wireless antennas (old servers), USB keys that can be passed around make sense. If you have lots of mobile devices with wireless (phones or tablets), a hotspot like this makes sense and can be used by dozens of people at once.

In practice USB keys run a slightly higher risk of being wiped and repurposed for personal storage. Some IIAB users glue the SD card into their socket for that reason, making it take a lot longer to swap out.

Sustained by a wonderful international community of builders, authors, and translators (and always looking for more to join in)


A year in, seems more like a scam. Surprised to see such credulous coverage in Wired.


At 5 cents per neuron with 4o-mini, for pretty satisfying descriptions.

"we fine-tune Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct to directly predict per-token activations ... [this] allows us to use smaller models, and the task of directly predicting the output (integer from 0-10) gets rid of the extra tokens, making the prompt much shorter."


The schema migrations are a delight. And I appreciate the shoutout to Dabble! Thanks for working on this + congrats on the release.

An optimized hosted version with permalinks to Explorer views would open access to even more users.


Thank you!

A hosted version is definitely on our plans for Mathesar, and being able to share tables and explorations publicly via a permalink is part of our roadmap[1][2].

Chain effects are strong with this one. This seems significantly better than GPT-Instruct.


Very nice work indeed.


Some journeys never truly (truly never) end -- what a lovely compilation and reflection. The best books and the best adventures share a certain feel.
