Just use a different LLM lol. It’s not even the best one anymore

It’s a line that no one else had enough backbone to draw so…

OpenAI just advertises that they’ll make you pay later and raises $100B+ on having “900M+ users”

That sounds smart but they still raise more money because they “have 900 million users”

Hotseat was more common back then I think with turn-based games

My favorite game of all time. I still have the CD-ROM even though I don't have any CD-ROM drives :)

Early buyers of the original iPhone got money back like six months later when the price was cut. I believe around $200

Surprised to see no mentions of Guild Wars 2 among all the discussion about WoW and FFXIV I think in many ways Guild Wars kept the innovation going better than World of Warcraft. They also made it easy to level up doing your preferred activ

Taylor Swift lost the rights to her music to her earlier label in a bitter dispute and ended to re-recording the songs to gain control of them

Comcast, AT&T, the DMV… I can think of a lot of businesses that struggle with customer service

Literally use it for 5 minutes and you’ll understand. 1. Excellent watch list functionality including showing pre-market change separately from regular hours change. 2. Automatic alerts when any stock hits a new 52 week high or low as well

Better to check in on Google Maps rather than Foursquare so you keep your history when the small companies pivot away or abandon the service. It is bizarre to me that Foursquare didn’t keep it going though

I’d be surprised if they touch the WoW cash cow and make it free with Game Pass. It would be a bold move

WeBull has the best mobile app hands down. Robinhood is the “simplest” I guess but is much less useful

I use ACH and Venmo all the time for no fees. Do you mean the tiny electricity fee that they pay on my behalf of maybe $0.01? Sure seems like a great deal compared to the multiple dollars (sometimes over $50) charged by Bitcoin and friends

I thinks it’s safe to conclude not many. One of the more promising ones seemed to be EOS and even that went nowhere.

Yes Charlie Lee even said after selling that people should be careful investing in Litecoin at those high prices which caused a major crash in the price. It still amazes me he was able to both sell at the top and crash the price without any

It’s a promotion run by Airbnb. Not sure why this post is on the front page as it’s clearly not a scam. They’ve run similar promotions in the past and the poster simply didn’t get a booking in time.

The Bay Area is a dense region with earthquakes and it’s share of NIMBYs which complicates planning but they’re still opening four new stations next year as part of the Central Subway. I’d certainly like to see a lot more infrastructure p

Well let’s see I spent the last five months in Lisbon, Barcelona, Paris, London, and Zagreb. Now I’m in Bangkok. So your assumption that I’ve never been overseas is drastically incorrect. In fact, I’d wager I’ve been to more countries than

You’re saying NYC has the worst subway? If so, you’re seriously taking it for granted. It’s the only subway I’m aware of with two sets of tracks so it can run 24 hours even while maintenance is performed usually. It’s better than basically

Yes 100%. I’m not familiar with Washington state specifically but if you Google “induced demand” you’ll see why building more lanes and repaving them doesn’t really solve the problem.

They said the same thing about Tesla and it’s been working out quite well for them. I definitely favor the theory that it’s a bubble but even if it’s true “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”

How can you feel Tether has issues but blame the media? If Tether isn’t legitimately backed then it’s a mega-scandal and indicates cryptocurrencies were inflated by fake money. That’s a huge deal. My only question is what took so long for t

Yes because if they're saying they have tons of USD-equivalent and buying other coins with it then they've been artificially inflating the other coins with bogus funds

Right, I said “on many issues” expressing nuance. As compared to the other poster who claims SF is so liberal that it has problems and Berkeley is not liberal so it doesn’t…

Sounds like you should stop hanging out in the Tenderloin. The rest of us lived there for years without being stabbed or hit with bottles. No doubt there are parts of the city with problems but you’re exaggerating greatly for no reason.
