You mean like OpenHD? What other options do they have while still being able to use COTS hardware?

Use it for email redirection from my domain. Just a few bucks per year

https://improvmx.com/

how about improvmx , it gives redirection for free , I have also discovered it right now in this thread though I think I had heard about it (I am not sure , I know of some email software where you pay one time and then you can self host or they host I am not sure)


I'm not sure if any of these numbers are actually spoofed. When I look them up they are always VOIP numbers.

That makes sense. The goal of this project wasn't really to combat spam but to play with the spammers messaging me specifically

That's right. SMS is 155 chars but it should be fixed now

Curing cancer was next on my list of weekend projects

Me too. It just never seems to make it up the priority list. Today I washed the car instead.

The last section mentions that the PhysicsForums admins are experimenting with LLM-generated responses, so I think the site owners are responsible.

> We reached out to Greg Bernhardt asking for comment on LLM usage in PhysicsForums, and he replied:

> "We have many AI tests in the works to add value to the community. I sent out a 2024 feedback form to members a few weeks ago and many members don’t want AI features. We’ll either work with members to dramatically improve them or end up removing them. We experimented with AI answers from test accounts last year but they were not meeting quality standards. If you find any test accounts we missed, please let me know. My documentation was not the best."

Why they would recycle old human accounts as AI "test accounts", I have no idea.


Looks like Greg now does SEO for Shopify. That fits I guess.

Oh, I thought he would be a physicist

Wow, so ironic.

It's just one of many ways to do this. Websockets, ZeroMQ, HTTP long-polling, or just a plain old TCP socket would have worked as well, just to name a few. I just went with MQTT because somebody had already implemented 95% of what I needed.

Then he realized that he was Ross Ulbricht all along.

Takes about 5 seconds to generate the response, plus another 10-15 seconds for the gateway app to be woken up and forward the message.

Ah sweet. That's a neat approach. I'm working on something within the SMS space, would love to run it by you if you'd approach it differently
