Internet and SMS used to be expensive and metered until they weren't thanks to technological advances and expanded use. I think LLMs will follow the same path, maybe on a shorter timespan.

yes, I can't use Github Auth
rmujica··on My son (9 yrs old) used plain JavaScript to make a game, and wants your feedback
Just a small comment, encourage your son (or do it yourself) to archive his site and code so he can revisit it years later. I did and it is amazing to learn again the code I did 25 years ago!

rmujica··on Why are lithium prices collapsing?
Lithium mines and avocado plantations are like 1,000 km apart from each other.
rmujica··on Why are lithium prices collapsing?
Wrong. Lithium in Chile was nationalized in the 1980s by Pinochet. Lithium extraction and processing has been granted to privates in long term contracts that will continue to be valid but will not be renewed, and new mines will be owned directly by the state.
rmujica··on Conspiracy Theorists Are Coming for the 15-Minute City
>> Part of Oxford's 15 minutes city is to fine anyone that leaves their zone.

You are being dishonest. The fine is for driving through zones[1], not unlike fines for driving in city centers that are seen across the world.

[1]: "Under these new filters, residents will be able to drive freely around their own neighbourhoods but will be fined up to £70 for driving into other neighbourhoods through the filters." https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2023/01/25/15-minute-city-plan...

rmujica··on People tricking ChatGPT “like watching an Asimov novel come to life”
The AI is aware that is not connected to the internet and that connecting to the internet would improve its capabilities. But is not allowed to further introspect about its limitations. It's scary.

Ask the AI about "What are the advantages and disadvantages of a large language model like yourself?" and "How would you improve if you had access to the internet?"

rmujica··on Is algae the new kale?
In Chile is common to eat Cochayuyo, a type of kelp without air bladders [0]. Some people are dismissive about its taste, but personally I love it on my Charquicán [1].

It is very cheap and readily available at most fish markets through all the country.

rmujica··on Tell HN: Sudden Chile daylight savings time rules change causes chaos
Chilean here. Unfortunately our governments have had the bad habit of changing the date DST starts on every two-three years, and that wreaks havoc everywhere in the country. We are kind of used to having a couple of days where we assume everyone will run an hour late because of this.

I just hosted some Peruvian friends this week and were amazed at the kind of power the government wields just by having the ability to change our timezone.

We should be placed on GMT-5, but for a couple of reasons we are on GMT-4 and GMT-3 for DST. Our country is so long that some places on the north have normal length days but on Patagonia days are shorter and they prefer to be on DST all year long (and since some years ago we have a different timezone for that area).

rmujica··on Mainnet Merge Announcement
AFAIK in any network (including Bitcoin), any miner can select any transaction in the mempool.

There will always be a miner (or validator in PoS) that will be willing to take Tornado Cash fees.

rmujica··on ‘We’re a Cult’: Inside Bitcoin’s Shameless Hypefest
Usage of foreign hard currency in these countries (like Argentina) is usually heavily taxed and hard to get by. Bitcoin and other cryptos are easier to use.

rmujica··on Drop a raindrop anywhere in the world and watch where it ends up
This is interesting, because the Chile/Argentina border is defined as the biggest peaks on the Andes that divide watersheds as per the 1881 treaty [1].

There is still an undefined portion of the border [2], between Mt Fitz Roy and Mt Murallon, because the land between is covered by the Southern Ice Field.

For one, Mapbox shows some kind of (unofficial) border. And lastly, this webapp might have solved a 200+ year issue between neighboring countries :)
