I created an AI not that finds FB marketplace ads for fascist memorabilia, contacts the sellers, haggles with them for a few hours, then sets an appointment in an out of the way service station, and sends them messages "just five more minutes and I'll be there"

Even after two world wars and a century of upheaval, wealth in 🇩🇪 shows strong persistence. About 8% of today’s top fortunes trace back to the early 1900s: 82 of the richest families today were already among the richest in 1913, challenging the idea of a fully meritocratic elite.

> We archived around 86M music files, representing around 99.6% of listens. It’s a little under 300TB. This is the largest music metadata database that is publicly available.

Many interesting 📊 charts on this page that can only be made by having this scale of data.

annas-archive.li/blog/backing...

Chart showing that 70% of songs are ones almost no one ever listens to (stream count < 1000).

A chart titled "Stream Count Analysis by Popularity" showing a histogram of total streams peaking at popularity scores of 60–70, overlaid with a line graph showing average streams per song spiking exponentially at scores of 90–100. Below, a table lists the top three songs by stream count: "Die With A Smile," "BIRDS OF A FEATHER," and "DtMF."

A matrix grid with the title "Audio Features Correlation Heatmaps" showing histograms of musical traits (Tempo, Energy, Valence, etc.) along the diagonal and 2D density heatmaps showing correlations between paired features in the intersecting cells.
