An irony of blockchain data is that as transparent as it’s supposed to be, it’s impossible to come by in a way that’s not mediated by an API. I just want an S3 bucket that has every Ethereum event log (or Polygon or Arbitrum or …) in it as a jsonl or parquet file, or whatever.
It’s wild this doesn’t exist. I’m flexible about the latency and I’m obviously willing to pay.
Anybody?
GPT-4 is like working with a talented intern. You can’t trust them with everything yet, but wow this kid is going places.
GPT3.5-turbo is like if that intern were the boss’s son. Went to a good school, and can get some stuff done, but could not care less about the job.
Hanging out in the matrix.

For non-native English speakers who are unsure about correct English syntax, I have a recommendation. Run your posts through ChatGPT and use the prompt "Rewrite this text in fully grammatical English:", followed by the text of your post. The result will be grammatically correct and easy to understand English.
I'm a native speaker of English and I still do this all the time to make sure I'm being as clear as possible.

A fundamental life hack for gaining new skills or leveling up on existing skills, if you have the resources, is to hire a coach (or a tutor) to teach you or give you personalized advice on how to improve. I'd venture it's the most time-efficient way to make progress in any personal or professional challenge you take on.
Content discovery on Lens is about to get much more interesting. We're working on features that leverage vector embedding to make recommendations much more aware of the meaning of posts. We're also planning on releasing the vectors over the Lens API so that devs can use them in creative ways. This is going to be really cool.
I do not recognize the Gregorian new year because I live my life based on seconds since the unix epoch. But to those who celebrate, happy new “year”.
