Do you have more or less than 1Mb text of your own writing?

• Hacker News
• Way way more. I write about that in journal entries alone per year

• Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like you are prolific and consistent!

  Do you write outside of journaling? Same amount?

• Far, far more than 1 MB.

• Thanks, that’s a lot. Can I ask for a ballpark figure? And how you have written so much?

• It doesn't take long to build up that many words on online forums, like Hacker News.

• Thanks for your input. Apparently it does! There’s another commenter on this thread who found less than that in their 10 year history.

• The text content of my iOS Notes, when zipped, is about 500Kb. Some small fraction of that was copy-pasted from someone else’s writing.

  I probably have an order of magnitude more than that.

  Bigger than a context window, smaller than a useful model, and fits in L2 cache.

• Some here probably have more than 1mb in comments. There's probably a way to calculate that through the API if someone were so inclined.

• I just pinged the api to dump my 10 year comment history. Yes, that definitely can be done, in a few seconds and a script.

  Edit: the csv = 698kb and the json = 866kb Edit 2: api was the wrong term. I used algolia.

• Yes i do, i like to put down my thoughts in writing as well as planning out strategies and such as i found out that i could not find a pen when i needed it much which was a dilemma of mine and so i started just using my laptop and phone to jot down what came to mind and was worth recording
