I upvoted your comment.

Also, it's a scarcity mindset.

I don't agree that sibling to my comment: "make money by getting papers cited". it is not a long-term solution, much as Ad revenue is broken model for free software, also.

I'm hopeful that we see some vibe-coders get some products out that make money, and then pay to support the system they rely on for creating/maintaining their code.

Not sure what else to hope for, in terms of maintaining the public goods.

> highlight that it uses ML running locally

I'd love to know the specifics. if there's an installable, reproducible local build w/ regular model/updates/maintenance that I could subscribe to, I'd be an interested party to a tool like that.

Relevant case:

Wickard v. Filburn United States Supreme Court case Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111, is a United States Supreme Court decision that dramatically increased the regulatory power of the federal government. It remains as one of the most important and far-reaching cases concerning the New Deal, and it set a precedent for an expansive reading of the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause for decades to come. The goal of the legal challenge was to end the entire federal crop support program by declaring it unconstitutional. An Ohio farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm. The U.S. government had established limits on wheat production, based on the acreage owned by a farmer, to stabilize wheat prices and supplies. Filburn grew more than was permitted and so was ordered to pay a penalty. In response, he said that because his wheat was not sold, it could not be regulated as commerce, let alone "interstate" commerce. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn)

Because you can't yet purchase electricity/internet with bitcoin (directly).

here's a fun book called Land of Lisp. It'll give you a reason to work in Emacs, and you can start learning Lisp too.

I keep a journal in Org Mode, and that's how I've learned to use emacs.

my question was whether or not those 134 had been validated. presumably, it was not the same doctor's office, 134 times.

"convinced" is absolutely the word, and my reasoning is posted as a sibling to your message

I can highlight text on the application switching screen (swipe up on android, press and hold over text on any of the applications in that view, you can highlight text that's otherwise not highlightable)

Likewise, you can highlight text on screenshots.

so, was that 217 unique doctors, then? any effort by the researchers to validate the "official" documentation of shots?

I remain unconvinced that phone manufacturers are unable to read the screen. Username obscurity is neat for p2p privacy, but does nothing against "the cops" if you're doing something they don't want you to.

I'm slowly migrating a lot of my browsing out of Safari and into LibreWolf, and using the opportunity to document accounts/passwords that i want to keep.

If i were willing to get an iPhone, then i'd be quite happy with Safari (i don't have Chrome installed on my Mac), but I want the ability to have my bookmarks available on multiple phones & computers... so firefox profiles (in LibreWolf) is the mechanism i've decided to use for that (for now)

silly side note: I read your comment as "a friend of one of my wives" and lol'd a little inside.

> and the conditions under which they are allowed to stay.

^^ this. I've had a few friends on H1B, and as far as I can tell they're just "stuck" in their jobs, or "forced" to leave the country.

Maybe, there should be an app for finding US citizens compatible "life partners" that would enable the acquisition of Green Cards.
