Did you consider creating a backend for Matplotlib which rendered to ascii?? That way a matplotlib user could simply switch backends when on the terminal, and then switch to someth…

How are people accessing GPT3? Is there a website, code repo, api... or do some select few have access?

None of these points address the hardest parts of buying lumber for a beginner. The hardest parts are in no particular order * knowing the maximum dimensions you can fit into your …

This is a reason to not verify over SMS and to instead use the Google Authenticator app. It seems easier to socially engineer a SMS redirect than to obtain the mobile device and by…

Is OTP one-time-password?
