Sure you can run tests and benchmarks on open-weight models, but that is the extent - there is no scrutiny, no auditing for bias or copyright contamination - just a black box that you rely on for "intelligence". I'm still shocked the way people can hand over not just huge swathes of data, but also decisions of all shapes and sizes - to AI companies with no way of being able to assess how the sausage is made.

Huge props to the devs, that haven't just embraced people forking their repo - but have actually put in a lot effort to make it easier for anyone that wants to develop on these platforms.

Something like..

- 3.8 days dedicated since you began in March

- 4.5 hours dedicated so far this week

- perhaps even being able to set up weekly goals could work

You are already using localstorage, so expanding on that sticks to your no account/analytics ethos.

WP treats plugins as content, literally in the same top level `wp-content` directory as uploaded images. This makes CI/CD among other things, a nightmare. But EmDash plugins are just TS modules, which has got to make things easier even if plugin configuration does end up in the db somewhere.

People tend to take the path of least resistance, maybe not everyone, maybe not right away, but if you create opportunities to write poor code then people will take them - more than ever it becomes important to have strong CI, review and testing practices.

Edit: okay, maybe I am feeling a little pessimistic this morning :)

But I don't think the projects themselves really mattered all that much anyway - its the conversations you can have about them. Understanding the driving factors, whether it was solving a problem they have or just working on something they are passionate about, the challenges they overcame in the development process and the considerations/decisions they made along the way.

Then when a user needs to delete books from a device they will start with the largest files. The longer the book is on the device the more likely they are to engage with it, etc.

1. Art is art because it draws meaning from human existence - AI can't and can never exhibit this. Furthermore, pumping out thousands of "creations" a minute will never compare to a single work from a human.

2. People are dumb and will fawn over just about anything, the origin of a piece of art created today is less relevant than ever.

Code being open doesn't mean anything unless you can verify the code running on a machine at the time of voting (adding another layer of complexity). It's not just voting software though, the rest of the system needs to be verified too (both software and hardware).

Not sure why you compare blockchain here either, no developed countries I know of use blockchain in their monetary authority or try to obscure voting processes from the public.

It would be nice to have something like what you describe that can authenticate via email though for more confidential things.

Blockchain being for small quantities of data made immutable, used in a p2p manner with as many copies as there are peers.

S3 generally being purpose built for short term (relative to blockchain) storage and price.
