I've been using Reddit for 12 years. After the API fiasco, the quality dropped a lot. Most popular subreddits are now astroturfed, where every week there is a crusade against something (First it was for banning Twitter, now it is again

As someone who sold all my stock in January and invested into bonds, I think we are far from it, but the bottom it will depend if the tariffs are lifted in the next days. The worst case scenario would be tariffs being kept and the FED event

DeepSeek's website seems to be using two models. The one that censors only does so in the online version. Are you saying that censoring happens with this model, even in the offline version?

People are saying Tesla stock is falling due to Musk, but he has been an asshole publically since the Thailand incident where he called the rescue diver a pedophile. It is falling because it is a bad stock with no ground in reality: it is c

You can still do that even without changing the timestamp. Back in the old days of the internet, people used to get famous by claiming they predicted all the results of the FIFA World Cup by posting every possible outcome and then deleting

ProcGen is a fun rabbit hole to play with and was a hobby for a whole year while I tried building my own game. I think the best material out there was from Red Blob Games (developer of the original Realm of the Mad God), which has some old

I used Maestro for one year after we switched from Detox. It's awesome to start end-to-end tests with and definitely the most accessible. However, in the end, we had to switch to Appium. While it's great to get started quickly, I

Positivity is still an issue, but there are some improvements that I found to work around it: - ChatGPT works best if you remove any “personal stake” in it. For example, the best prompt I found to classify my neighborhood was one that I did

o3 is okay for text checking but has issues following the prompt correctly, same as o1 and DeepSeek R1, I feel that I need to prompt smaller snippets with them. Here is the o3 vs a new run of the same text in GPT 4.5 https://www.

Possibly, repeating the prompt I got a much higher speed, taking 20s on average now, which is much more viable. But that remains to be seen when more people start using this version in production.

First impression of GPT-4.5: 1. It is very very slow, for some applications where you want real time interactions is just not viable, the text attached below took 7s to generate with 4o, but 46s with GPT4.5 2. The style it writes is way bet

I hate this principle. It bases itself on an appeal to nature. It is as if people are born with a hidden upper level of competence that they can never "rise above" while others were born "blessed to be CEO." The worst pa

Let's not beat around the bush; mass cold emails are SPAM with another name. I receive about 10 cold emails a week, and most senders never give up on sending follow-ups. Those AI emails get worse every day, and the follow-ups become mo

I knew my accent was strong, but I didn't expect to get 100% Portuguese, which is strange since Portuguese from Portugal sounds more like Eastern Europe, and Portuguese Brazil is more like Spanish. Maybe it considers both accents to be

You are right for on-grid systems. If you can get power from the grid, it is easy to get fiber. I have friends working remotely from very rural zones in Brazil, and they got fiber for a lower price than it was for buying up the transformers
