  • It's important to get a good interest rate

    Jump

  • Yes. Effectively you will not have any credit history, so you simply won't qualify for lower interest credit products or will be rejected on applications that have a credit score threshold.

  • There it is

  • That's awesome - nice work!

  • People Are Slowly Realizing Their Auto Insurance Rates Are Skyrocketing Because Their Car Is Covertly Spying On Them

    Jump

  • Would anything have prevented an increase in rates? I'd bet if everyone got out of line, the rate increases would have been the same or higher. The only difference would be no one received $100.

  • ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say

  • Good. Please proceed as quickly as possible.

  • Mercedes becomes the first automaker to sell autonomous cars in the U.S. that don't come with a requirement that drivers watch the road

  • They're assuming liability but that doesn't mean it's safe or more capable than other systems.

  • Yeah I don't really understand either. Under those conditions any comparable level 2 system would operate without ever requiring the driver to take over.

  • Ah so it's marketing BS then, got it.

  • How is this different from the capabilities of Tesla's FSD, which is considered level 2? It seems like Mercedes just decided they'll take on liability to classify an equivalent level 2 system as level 3.

  • I've never clicked an ad on purpose. I use DNS to block all the common click thru domains for ads.

    This move by Microsoft will undoubtedly result in more Windows PCs infected by malware as people find tools to remove the ads and some of those tools will turn out to be malware.

  • Not only that but the API cost is per token, so every message exchange in every conversation costs more because of the length of the system prompt.

  • This Woman Will Decide Which Babies Are Born

    Jump

  • It wasn't just one man who was discriminated against. Your genetics determined which opportunities were available to you, even for those who were selected for at conception. There were still varying degrees of "genetically perfect."

    The problem presented by gattaca and with the thought process behind this company is the suggestion that your "value" to "be selected' (for conception, for employment, etc.) should be determined by your genetics.

  • Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton

    Jump

  • That's excellent. Thanks for pointing that out!

  • I am not using passkeys until it's possible to easily migrate them between providers (not just devices / browsers). If I used Proton Pass, and then later decided to use another password manager, could I export my passkey data?

  • I just want to view the recipe

    Jump

  • Sure, I agree.

    Unfortunately, no such solution currently exists or has been widely adopted.

  • I just want to view the recipe

    Jump

  • I use an app called Recipe Keeper. It's amazing because I just share the page to the app, it extracts the recipe without any nonsense, and now I have a copy for later if I want to reuse it. I literally never bother scrolling recipe pages because of how terrible they all are, and I decide in the app if the recipe is one I want to keep.

    It also bypasses paywalls and registration requirements for many sites because the recipe data is still on the page for crawlers even if it's not rendered for a normal visitor.

  • You're in the wrong Rochester!

  • Elon Musk wants to merge humans with AI. How many brains will be damaged along the way?

    Jump

  • You may be underestimating the role of targeting in conversion optimization, and I'm not sure how you could better target individuals than based on what they're thinking at any given moment (literally).

    For instance, it's not hard to imagine a future where gen-ai inserts product placement for a drug like ozempic into your favorite show, just for your view, while you're actively paying attention, even though you didn't realize at that moment you're still a bit upset about a negative comment someone made about your weight earlier that day. An advertiser didn't have to select this scenario, but instead you were targeted by an ML algorithm at that moment based on brain activity correlated with others who ultimately were successfully nudged to have a conversation with their doctor about their weight. Simultaneously, another ML optimized the product placement generation to minimize viewer disgust while maximizing its visibility. Your behavior becomes immediate feedback to further optimize these algorithms, as you're tracked for how much attention you paid to the placement, what was your emotional state before and after, did you schedule an appointment with your doctor over the next 3 days, were you prescribed ozempic, etc.

    That is just a simple example which isn't that far removed from advertising approaches today. I'm certain there are plenty of clever techniques to turn your thoughts and perceptions into conversions far more effectively once advertisers have real-time access to your brain.

    Jump

  • Advertisers would absolutely love to augment your reality with ads or even just the ability to accurately confirm you've actually watched a traditional ad along with how you "felt" about it.

    At that point people would absolutely sign up for free implants so they can access ad supported services that may otherwise become unaffordable within a society further strip mined of wealth by the then trillionaire class.

  • Thanks for the clarification and I believe I misunderstood your original comment.

    To add to your list there is an often underutilized feature of GitHub for discussions too.
