Spending a bit of time today creating a node.js API on top of OpenAI’s SDK. I have a feeling many API’s in the future will be getting a serious “shot in the arm” from ChatGPT.

I suspect it won’t be long before ChatGPT and others are deeply integrated into mainstream virtual assistants.
Reading this, makes realize how “dumb” they currently are.
I’ve realized that crypto makes me unhappy regardless if it’s going up or down.
Going down? Why did I ever put any resources into this stupid thing?
Going up? Why didn’t I put more resources into this stupid thing?

When I was a young kid in youth group, I convinced my mom that Blink 182 was a Christian band because the song Anthem Part Two said “help me Jesus”.
My parents still eventually smashed all of my CD’s 🤷
So, it looks like @paul@tapbots.social has confirmed that Twitter is shutting down API keys for 3rd party apps.
In addition to this change, they have completely removed the ability to sort the timeline chronologically. That was the only feature that made Twitter somewhat usable.
In light of these changes, I have finally begun the process of downloading my archived Twitter data and moving off for good.

It bugs me to no end that the NM Taxpayer Access Point uses the word logon instead of login. I picture the site being run by a cranky old pony-tailed “webmaster” that has chosen to die on the logon hill.
I need to start reading more fiction. My brain is starting to melt with all of these self help books. 📚

The creativity and flair of the late 90s and early 2000s. Back then, there were no rules – you put whatever you wanted on a webpage, because it was your space to do as you please.
Fun read. Lots of nostalgia.
I switched from weight lifting to calisthenics in the gym over a year ago. It was one of the best decisions ever.
A year in, and I still get excited to go every single time.

My Current AeroPress Recipe ☕️
Over the years, I have tried many Aeropress methods for making coffee. After many variations, I have found this one to be the best and most consistent.
Recipe
- Method: inverted
- Beans: 30g (usually Ethiopian)
- Grind: course
- Water: 200g
- Time: 60s
Instructions
Start heating the water in a kettle. While the water is heating, grind 30g of coffee in the grinder and pour it into the inverted Aeropress.
Place the Aeropress on the scale, pour in 100g of water, and stir. Once stirred, set a timer for 60s. Take this time to place the paper filter inside the Aeropress’ lid and rinse the paper. It ensures that it sticks better and removes some of the paper taste.
After the timer is up, stir one more time, attach the filter, and plunge into your cup.
Finally, pour another 100g of water into the cup and enjoy one of the best cups of coffee of your life.
Let me know if you end up trying it!
