Readit News> the ease with which I was able to make payments
I find it hard to believe that handing cash was "hard" in any way.
The math gets even more dramatic if you have multiple people living in the same place. Broadband price gets divided by however many people you have there, higher cost of an unlimited phone plan get multiplied by the same number.
Unless you're one of those people who don't need internet to survive, then this is nonsense. Wifi is far from everywhere and I'm not going to manually connect to wifi just to check if my date is running late. Is this the 90s?
This week I used ChatGPT to help “diagnose” a medical issue my senior dog has developed with his eye. We noticed he very suddenly started walking into furniture, and his left eye has become sunken and half covered by his third eyelid. Our small town’s farm vet wasn’t equipped to deal with eye issues, and the second vet we saw was understaffed so they had a traveling vet in for the day look at our dog. We weren’t impressed after he couldn’t figure out how to work his eye examination tool (he was looking through it backwards at first, shining the light into his own eye) and then gave up and just prescribed an antibiotic/ointment to our dog and told us to come back in a week.
Obviously we’ve tried to google the symptoms, but I’d heard anecdotes of people feeding their own medical issues into ChatGPT and getting good feedback, so I figured I’d do the same with my dog. It gave me a ton of detailed data about five different things that could be causing the problem with his eye. I questioned it about each one, and it tried to rule out some of the causes to the best of its ability when I was able to fill in details about things it asked. All the while it cautioned me that a vet would need to test him to truly determine if one of these things were the problem.
We’re heading back to the vet tomorrow for his recheck, ready to ask about a couple of these things. I’ve been very bearish on ChatGPT and LLMs, but it’s been genuinely useful to me in this situation.
I’m still a little cautious about the info it gave me though, because I’m still thinking about all the times I’ve played with it and had it give me broken lua/f# code or kusto queries that call functions which simply don’t exist. This could easily be one of those situations where I’m not a veterinarian so I can’t easily spot any of the wrong or misinformed information it gave me.
Edit: the five conditions it listed that could have caused the sudden eye problem for my dog are entropion; ectropion; enophthalmos; glaucoma; trauma.
Diagnosis is probably going to be one of the most impactful uses. Even if then you have to head to an actual doctor to confirm, it's good to have a possible lead.
We've been using Google for the same purpose for a decade but with much worse results, this is a step up.
In the states, there's rampant violation of vehicle-related laws and minimal enforcement (fake temporary tags, deliberate obstruction of real license plates, deeply tinted windshield and driver/passenger glass, not to mention rolling stops and speeding)
Modern cars record their speed today, no one bats an eye. Even before in-car tech could do this, you could passively enforce speeding by using toll booth data, but that doesn't happen. Neither side cares enough to bother.
Some EU countries do that on tollways but don't keep them always-on because they generate too many tickets to handle.
This is also assuming that your powerbank can’t be hacked. In which case, god save us all.
If you want data safety, you must skip the data pins.
If you want current safety, you must skip public chargers.
BTW, this is interesting. There is a lot of noise about AI carbon footprint. Now imagine how much humans would eat and fart for 20.000 work hours. It's about 10 man/years. Assuming 8h / 5d / 50 weeks schedule.
I don’t think you can compare people’s carbon footprint because those people will exist regardless of jobs.
I've modified the manifest so that it is asking Safari for wider permissions, so that when the permission is granted by the user, the proper URL is returned.
Regardless, with activeTab you can just inject script into the page itself through which you can open a regular popup.
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
func: () => window.open(' archive.ph' + location.href)
})
For something that’s a glorified bookmarklet, that’s a lot to ask.
Uh, false? What IP address? This sentence is meaningless, users don’t connect to the sign, so there’s no IP to it.
This article is just scaremongering by people who don’t know technology.
