Measure is unceasing

Webpages I am making available to my corner of the internet

Here is a list of internet services that I make freely available to friends and allies, broadly defined—if you are reading this, you qualify. These are ordered roughly in order of usefulness.

search.nunosempere.com

search.nunosempere.com is an instance of Whoogle. It presents Google results as they were and as they should have been: without clutter and without advertisements.

Readers are welcome to make this their default search engine. The process to do this is a bit involved and depends on the browser, but can be found with a Whoogle search. In past years, I’ve had technical difficulties around once every six months, but tend to fix them quickly.

forum.nunosempere.com

forum.nunosempere.com is a frontend to the Effective Altruism Forum that I personally find soothing. It is much faster than the official frontend, more minimalistic, and offers an RSS endpoint for all posts here.

$ time curl https://forum.effectivealtruism.org > /dev/null

If you use the EA Forum with some frequency, I’d recommend giving it and ea.greaterwrong.com a spin.

shapleyvalue.com

shapleyvalue.com is an online calculator for Shapley Values. I wrote it for this explainer after realizing that no other quick calculators exist.

Find a beta distribution which fits a given confidence interval

trastos.nunosempere.com/fit-beta is a POST endpoint to find a beta distribution that fits a given confidence interval.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ci_lower": "0.2", "ci_upper":"0.8", "ci_length": "0.95"}' \
  https://trastos.nunosempere.com/fit-beta

I also provide a widget here and an npm package here, which is probably more convenient than the endpoint.

nunosempere.com/misc/proportional-approval-voting-calculator/

Proportional approval voting is a bit tricky to generalize to choosing candidates for more than one position, which is why little software for it exists. This page provides a samaple implementation. It was previously hosted here.

git.nunosempere.com

git.nunosempere.com is my personal git server. It hosts some of my personal projects, and occasional backups of some open source projects worth preserving.

video.nunosempere.com

video.nunosempere.com is a peertube instance with some videos worth preserving.

royalroad.nunosempere.com

A frontend for Royal Road, a site which hosts online fiction but which has grown pretty cluttered. Reuses a whole lot of the code from forum.nunosempere.com.

wikiless.nunosempere.com (added 27/08/2023)

A frontend for Wikipedia.

gatitos.nunosempere.com
