@T_Zahil @heyandras Tried couple of times, but always kept not using it.

My wife uses it way more, I think we are the wrong target, it only needs to be more consumer friendly

We just shipped a small life improvement at @polar_s

Merchants can now request payouts even if their organisation is under review. Payments will be held until the review is complete and will also increase the organisation review priority.

I discovered something truly fascinating in my life.

It’s a collection of letterbooks spanning from 1890 to 1900. These letterbooks were used to keep a copy of everything sent by the owner, preserving written correspondence.

I trained a small language model to read the letters so I could interpret them from a set of photographs. While I manually read some of them, it’s a laborious and tedious process.

Next, I used @ChatGPTapp to gather additional information from sources like Wikipedia, newsletters and others, providing a broader understanding of the context. For instance, I discovered that filoxera had arrived in Catalonia around that years.

The writer maintained sent daily letters, offering a glimpse into life almost 150 years ago.

The book contains letters detailing marriage arrangements, strikes, filoxera and personal correspondence 🤯

I LOVE THAT
