the last project i planned and managed at FLM was the complete archive of topic.com's magazine... if i (an engineer) hadn't prioritized this during the chaos of those final days, it wouldn't have been done.

I write a lot about heritage objects lost to war, plunder, colonization, etc. But losing years of journalistic work due to callous management decisions to delete /erase websites... this also needs to be protected against... somehow?

I'm going to mention again that my solution to this is to set my billing address to Howard Jarvis's old home at 515 N Crescent Heights Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048, and, thanks to California's automatic renewal law (ARL), a cancellation button magically appears.

absolutely blown away by this thoughtful and beautiful STARS UNDYING review, which cuts right to the heart of the project of the novel—immortality, narrative, how they shape power, and how blurred they are with the thing we call love—and has some remarkable commentary on it

all right. i'm asking this because i know enough about ML / NLP to make guesses about what i want but not enough for details. is it possible to get a gpt-3 instance going and weight specific training texts more heavily than others? i'd like to run it on my local machine & feed it

specific texts in order to adjust its baseline output to more closely resemble them. if anyone can point me towards any resources along those lines, i'd appreciate it! #MachineLearning #gpt3

Hey, y'all remember that scathing review of Silk Fire that blew up a few months ago? Dathomira is at it again with an amazing review of Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deane, which also directly addresses the recent controversy you may have seen surrounding this book and its author.
