In the developed countries, average life expectancy is about 70-80 years. So you've got 30-40 years left, a lot can be done in that time. You're healthy, have the money, and an opportunity to live in the US - sounds like a dream t

Shouldn't people be free to make up their own minds and make their own choices? If someone likes that work environment - great, let them work very hard on interesting and meaningful projects, these are the kind of people Elon Musk seem

Personally, I'm really excited about this. For two reasons: 1. I love using Discord and building communities there. But it does take a lot of work. A way to monetize some of this stuff is very welcome. Even if I won't end up doing

Can you somehow fine-tune GPT3 on a dataset? I just assumed the OP generated them using a prompt like "top hacker news threads" or somehing like that.

It'd be so fun if you could generate comments for each of the threads as well.

That's amazing, thank you for sharing! If not a secret, how are you marketing it?

Great project! I have a question - how can you afford to run this? I looked at the server costs on google compute and runpod.io, and the ones with GPUs powerful enough to run SD are pretty expensive. I'm guessing you don't have a

Great research direction you guys! If I may propose some other project ideas for you: - What if we could teach gorillas to wield machetes? - What if we could figure out how to craft a nuclear weapon out of common office supplies? - What if

Are there games similar to Diplomacy that you can play in 1-1.5 hours, over discord video chat?

Not enough nitpicky corrections that devolve into even more nitpicky nerd arguments about semantics and usage of words that are entirely missing the high-level picture or the ability to understand the meaning of sentences based on their con

Doesn't it get exhausting to jump through so many mental hoops to minimize someone's accomplishments? I don't understand what people get out of this, is it really that painful to admit that some guy has done some pretty cool

I don't know about other people, but it's the 2nd most useful device I own (after my laptop), and it is the device I use the most by far (if you look at the time I'm using it). To me, an iPad is a notebook that's always

Wow, thank you for posting this, I was just thinking this! Most people here focus on autocorrect, which isn't such a big problem for me since I'm used to having it off. But what the hell is wrong with the cursor placement? It is s

Thanks! It is built with Next.js and hosted on Vercel. That's all there is to it, there's no database, just a big json file that contains all the courses.

Oh, thanks a lot for letting me know! The website got to the front page of HN, and I ran out of my free tier limits on Vercel, had to upgrade to the pro account. Already fixed.

Thanks, I'm really happy you think this is useful! This is just a small hobby project I have done over a couple of weekends. I don't have huge plans for it, I just want to keep finding more screenplays and adding them to the libra

The website is built with Next.js and deployed on Vercel. It's so fast because Next and Vercel do a lot of smart optimizations with the code and the images. Also, because the screenplays are not stored in the database, just one large l

Thanks! I think this is a good idea, and I think it wouldn't be all that difficult to convert pdfs into text. At least some of them, since some are represented as text and some are just picture scans, which would be much more difficult

I'm hoping I won't get into too much trouble, since: - The intention of this library is to be a free educational resource for screenwriters, it's just a hobby project that I'm not making any money off of. - I'm simp

I don't know how people get screenplays originally, I'm just searching and organizing ones that are freely available online already.

by lumenwrites 4y ago
Thanks! Yes, I think it will soon be the largest library of the screenplays on the internet (if it isn't already), the idea is to find as many screenplays that are freely available online as possible, and add them to a library that is

Thank you, I'm glad you like this! This is a great idea, I will add the full-text search feature. Although it probably wouldn't work for your particular use case - TV shows rarely release the screenplays for all of their episodes,
