• Some interesting info on Malachi Martin that he wasn't who he said he was in the interviews

  Would check out this small book series written from the woman from smashwords.com which is more like her own personal memoir of what she went through in life with religion as well called "Disguised as a Man: Malachi Martin & Me" with a picture she took from his archives of him while they were together, with him younger on the front of the ebook series. She goes into minute detail of how they met in New York and... Source: 8 months ago

• Best place to buy ebooks that are not amazon?

  I also know that there is ebooks.com and smashwords.com, but I've never really used them and the prices always come up in dollars to me. Source: about 1 year ago

• I write gay erotica for extra money. AMA

  Really nasty? Go to smashwords.com and search for what you're looking for, and when you find it, buy it, read it, then write a story like that, only better. Source: over 2 years ago

• Where to Buy ePubs for the RM2?

  eBooks.com and smashwords.com for DRM-free eBooks, the latter self-published works. Source: over 2 years ago

• Good Self-Publishing Company?

  This question makes me think really hard, lol. You may not get much hand holding from most self-publishing platform companies. They'll have forums and/or Q/A's for you to refer to. I had to do a lot of research, reading other self-published authors journey's and Googling to answer my questions.

• The Myth of the Second Chance

  - ex: 1st time immigrants. The myth is in our ability to make "choices" which shifts the narrative to "hard work" rather than luck, perpetuated by the elite or those "who have made it".

• GPT4.5 or GPT5 being tested on LMSYS?

  ChatGPT was configured to not output lyrics and recipes[1]. Later on they removed this from the prompt (seemingly moved anywhere else), but it's highly unlikely that such censorship will ever be removed: any citation of songs is a direct step towards a DMCA complaint, and it would be extremely difficult for OpenAI to "delete" text scattered over the model. Other simpler models have no such censorship and can... - Source: Hacker News / about 23 hours ago

• An empty, private AWS S3 bucket can cost you 1000s of $

  This does not save you because AWS Account IDs are not private, e.g. If you are using S3 pre-signed URLs anywhere, those URLs include your account ID as part of the X-AMZ-Credential URL field: https://medium.com/@TalBeerySec/a-short-note-on-aws-key-id-f88cc4317489. - Source: Hacker News / about 19 hours ago
