Ebay? A friend to ship it? I agree on the de-google part but putting graphene on a used pixel is aligned!

Ended up here with the same problem, 200k output tokens burned on these errors after one prompt!

Is this any different than current search ads (as far as people ignoring them)? I think this is a lot better for Google. It's always at the top of the page, harder to block with an adblocker, possibly more trusted (we'll see...)

That's all correct, and nobody seems to care. Nobody is ever going to improve the system, and us law abiding citizens are left with the consequences.

I've been saying this for years! I agree.

I frequently buy project car stuff on Ebay. You can find OE stuff with the part numbers scratched off that must have "fallen off the assembly line" pretty easily. Easily a few items per month between that and computer parts!

Illegal is a strong term here. While the wiki link you included indicates there might be some permitting nuances, I've seen nothing claiming the power is "illegal."

How can you have proof of work without consuming large amounts of power?

Great work! I really like the interface here, I think you put a lot of taste into the way this all came together. It's quite hard (appropriately so!) I would love to see a experienced structural biologist go at this.

Just set it to the "Efficient" tone, let's hope there's less pedantic encouragement of the projects I'm tackling, and less emoji usage.

This is a beautiful solution to a tedious problem that shouldn't exist in the first place! Great work.

Comics need a full "image" for the page, so this is unlikely to work. Can you inspect the requests and see what you get?

Or to the author: what happens to images in the ebook?

"Good" TVs are so cheap these days, that premium wouldn't be acceptable in my mind. The fix the other posters mention about banning it from the internet and just using HDMI works well enough for me.

Buy the ebook, then download a beautiful DRM-free and guilt-free version from Anna's Archive? win-win.

Damn, that's an impressive obfuscation and debugging. If you get around to releasing it I would be interested.
