A bit more context: BuyVM is a legitimate business, popular with hobbyists, and has features that are hard to get elsewhere (e.g., BGP sessions). They do take a pro-free speech stance but they are a far cry from bulletproof hosting ("s

This is fantastic. One rarely discussed use case is avoiding overzealous "alignment" - you want models to help advance your goals without arbitrary refusals for benign inputs. Why would I want Anthropic or OpenAI to have filtering

Neat! As a human one can recognize that this question embeds a computation and use a standard trick - explicitly ask the LLM to use a program to generate the answer. LLM's are great at generating code but not necessarily that great at

Great to see an offline Bible app! First time hearing about Berean Standard Bible -- is it endorsed by the Church and does it have all 73 books? If not, would you consider adding Douay-Rheims, which should be out of copyright now?
