CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@technocounselor @DavidGoldfield Google designed this system for software developers creating projects that use Google APIs and then distributing them with the API key included or on their server, where the developer handles API keys and paying for access for APIs that cost money. It was not designed for end-users having their own API keys that they enter into applications. Therefore, you must create a project as if you're developing a new piece of software and pretend that you are when filling out the form, but when I did this before with Google I didn't have to enter very much and it didn't take very long.

For anyone interested in The Lord of the Rings, there is an amazing audiobook with music, sound effects, different voices for the characters, etc, all done by one person. It almost sounds like you're watching a movie even though its an audiobook. It was published for free by its creator, and I have been hosting it on my server for a while because the original website is hard to download from. I also fixed the ID3 tags to make media players organize the files correctly. https://lotr.emassey0135.dev

I am a completely blind college student studying computer science, currently at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha but transferring to the University of Nebraska Lincoln in August. My interests include computers, programming, philosophy, reading, Chess, etc. My favorite book is The Lord of the Rings but I enjoy a very wide range of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, history, philosophy, classics, science, mythology, etc. I am also an NFB member of the Omaha chapter and a NABS member. I have several programming projects on Github, including Audio Navigation, a Minecraft mod that adds Soundscape-like navigation features to the game in addition to what Minecraft Access already adds.

@AccessOn @JonathanMosen @ChanceyFleet On the episode a few people mentioned a Github hackathon for open-source accessibility, and one of the guests mentioned that the Monarch was a part of this and it will be called hacking for the Monarch or something like that. Where can I find this and how do I join? Or was that just in-person at CSUN? I am curious what kind of programming they are doing for the Monarch and if they have access to the SDK or if they reverse engineered some of the APIs like I did.

@riley @matt But information always has a probability value attached to it. For the broken clock, it is pretty much 0% likely that the time will be correct (1 in 12 times 60 = 1 in 720). But for the LLM, the probability could be 70% to 90% depending on what kind of information you are asking it for and how good the specific LLM is. Information becomes more useful as the probability of it being correct approaches 100%. A good reliable source would have a much higher probability of being correct and therefore be more useful, but the LLM is closer to that than to a broken clock at least for most things.
