When I gave a thumbs-down to the original incorrect answer about Dan Shipper, I was offered a choice between that answer and a new one: > Dan Shipper is a technology entrepreneur and writer. He is known for co-founding the startup Firefl

I kept going: >>> Why did you say that Dan Shipper is the co-founder of Pilot? > I apologize for the error in my previous response. Dan Shipper is actually one of the co-founders of a startup called Firefly, which provides a too

This is pretty good prompt engineering, kudos! Here were my results with the Mar 14 (public) version of chat.openai.com: >>> You are a AI for describing people you know about. If you're not 100% certain about the information y

I, for one, am not arguing that AI won't ever reach human-like reasoning. I just don't think this is it, although I freely admit that I'm amazing at the technology. As it stands, Chat-GPT is probably better at giving the ap

This is the reasoning that is causing problems with Tesla's "auto-pilot," with dangerous results. My own car includes cameras and can keep me from disaster by applying brakes and correcting steering, but it makes no claims wh

Speaking for myself, I am equally dismissive of aliens, if that helps. I think what annoys me about claims like this is two things, and it has to do with in-groups and out-groups. 1. I am concerned about how non-developers perceive us devel

There are three types of lies, as the saying goes: lies, damned lies, and statistics. But why are statistics considered lies? Because of how they're used . If you think of AI as a source of truth, obviously you're going to run in

Compression with extra steps is still compression. Most people don't understand the math involved in LZF-encoding, and lossy audio encoding seems even more strange, so "diffusion" just sounds like a somewhat-lossier form of c

The thing about predicting doom is that you're wrong often--until one day you're not. Most hype cycles involve people at the top making wild claims that fail to deliver. I don't know anyone outside the industry who ever thoug

This is a bad reading of the case. The ruling on appeal was that the police in that case had no special duty to that particular person, but still had a duty to the public at large. Specifically, "the duty to provide public services is

You certainly have no responsibility at all to help a multi-trillion dollar company fix themselves! Nor to ever shop with that company. You do you! That said, I hope my comment and the subsequent upvotes make it clear that your experience s

Ah, okay, I see now. Feel free to define analogy as a thing in which everything applies in exactly the same way to the level of detail that it really means you're describing the exact same thing using different words, while the rest of

We hired an immigration lawyer for this most recent process, and he told me a story. There had been a large group of people from a particular country who all attended a church together here in the US. They had affidavits and bank statements

The first time I went through this, in the end it's possible that the only thing that mattered was my partner being several months pregnant at the time of her interview. The second time, I wrote a photo-story instead of just packing in

Have you ever tried to navigate the immigration process? I have, twice now. It's a Kafka-esque nightmare of Orwellian bureaucracy, and I wish I could think of a third famous writer to reference to finish this sentence. The first time,

Hahaha, what an odd response! I mean, explaining how your tone was condescending while mine clearly expressed wry amusement would just be me being defensive now, right? So I won't. My point stands: From the time this card was first ann

I bought my first EV by trading in my Prius and writing a $27 check. Had I paid cash, it would be have been about $7k (for a 2017 Fiat 500e in 2020). I bought my second EV for $39,995 out the door, and then got a $7500 tax credit, reducing

Which matches the 2% my comment already said I get with Apple card. And requires a Fidelity account. So I'm not sure it's "better," but thank you.

As I mentioned in the comment to which you're responding, I never get less than 2% from my Apple card, so the Wells Fargo doesn't seem better to me. I'll look into the Capital One option, thank you!

by pwinnski 4y ago
That seems to give the same 2% I already get with my Apple card, but only 1% immediately, and the other 1% when it's paid, making it not as good as my Apple card's 2% immediately.

I have the same one! I use it for Amazon only.

Fidelity and Citi match Apple's 2%, okay.

Brave throwaway, you underestimate the knowledge you possess! You should be proud of your knowledge and gladly share it, rather than mock those unwilling to expend the effort you've expended to earn such knowledge. Search results are p

That is shocking to me, and you'd be doing everybody else a favor if you let the store know about it, so that guy can be terminated or at least retrained. I've never had an experience anything like that, and I know that's not

That didn't seem to have anything do with it being an Apple card, though?

People keep saying things like this, and rarely offer up the name of any better card when asked. Apple Card offers 2% cash back on all Apple Pay purchases, which... exactly matches my no-fee card from Chase. Except I have to choose how to u
