That question is in itself dishonest, but of course even more so if you just recently made the maps very specifically not be to be open source any longer! 😂
So you can have some non-openly licensed maps, developed on GitHub. Or you could have some openly licensed maps, developed on @…, by choosing @… 😉

The most recent episode of #AmericanHysteria podcast was a very interesting discussion about J. Edger Hoover tying the government to his religious views more openly and extensively than I'd previously understood.
May have to check out Lerone A. Martin's book to get all the details. It's continously surprising to me (though it really shouldn't be) how some people …

PIPES: A Meta-dataset of Machine Learning Pipelines
Solutions to the Algorithm Selection Problem (ASP) in machine learning face the challenge of high computational costs associated with evaluating various algorithms' performances on a given dataset. To mitigate this cost, the meta-learning field can leverage previously executed experiments shared in online repositories such as OpenML. OpenML provides an extensive collection of machine learning experiments. However, an analysis of OpenML's records reveals limitations. It lacks diversity in pipeli…

EU Data Act: Ab heute müssen smarte Geräte wie SmartTV offenlegen, welche Daten sie sammeln. Ihr habt das Recht, Auskunft einzufordern und Löschung zu verlangen – kostenlos, binnen 1 Monat. Hersteller, die mauern, handeln rechtswidrig. Jörg Schieb: Transparenz ist nur der Anfang. Jetzt liegt es an uns, diese Rechte auch einzufordern. #EUDataAct

Title: Wow... we've been burning money for 6 months
Discussion:
So... because I am such a hard worker, I spent my weekend going through our openai usage and we're at ~$1200/month.
I honestly thought that was just the cost of doing business then i actually looked at what we're using gpt-4 for, and its seriously a waste of money: extracting phone numbers from emails, checking if text contains profanity, reformatting json and literally just uppercasing text in one function.
I ended up just moving all the dumb stuff to gpt-4o-mini. Same exact outputs, bill dropped to ~$200
Am I an idiot? How much are you guys spending?

"“They openly confessed to killing 11 people,” Venezuela’s interior minister said on state television. “We have done our investigations here in our country and there are the families of the disappeared people who want their relatives, and when we asked in the towns, none were from Tren de Aragua, none were drug traffickers."
