I know some economist will tear me apart for this but I don’t see where the big deal is. To me this is just a consequence of a bunch of factors like the economy and overall women education. I get that you end up with a weird lob sided age graph, but solving that feels like an engineering problem.

We have breakthroughs in automation every year. Every year a single citizen’s impact on overall GDP grows through productivity or efficiency. This is not even considering the impact AI/LLM/AGI will have on the next 10 years. I believe the focus should be on the positives of these trends. The environmental impact of a shrinking society for example. Let’s focus on those things instead of trying to convince people that adding more life to the capitalist income inequality machine is the solution. Adding more kids to the problem seems to only serve the top 1%ers instead of forcing us to have real serious discussions about universal income and what we should do with all the automation and efficiencies we keep creating.

Okay thank you. I’ll do my homework and find a local credit union.

There’s another comment here about banks scrapping your history. Guess I’ll ask because now I’m curious. What’s a realistic way to get around this type of thing with banks and credit cards short of using cash? I hate cash :(

Makes sense. I believe Chile has a big community of Palestinians. Might well use whatever is at their disposal to get attention on Gaza.

Honestly, I confirm it because I use it for work. I had it do some research on comparing bunch of VDI solutions (the VMware/Broadcom thing has forced us to rethink things). It did a really good job summarizing things. I used to work in consulting, so I already knew what the comparison. It saved me hours of having to write that report. I usually verify in the term that “does it make sense”. I would do the same with a stackoverflow post before posting the code and so on.

I somewhat bought into the hype early and convinced work to pay for ChatGPT plus. At first I struggled to use it. One day I somewhat went “I bet it can’t help with X”, it did. Now I’m at the point where I default to it. There is this odd assumption that it will only be right some of the time. To me it’s rare where it’s wrong. Usually it mainly misunderstood the direction I was trying to go in and once I fix it with follow-up prompt I get what I want.

I don’t think I do prompt engineering per se. It’s like google fu though. You need to learn to be descriptive to the point where the LLM can infer some context then even a year later it feels surreal. So far GPT-4 is the top for me. llama does well and a lot of the open models are nice. But if I want code or think through some work problem, GPT-4 gets me where I want to get amazingly fast. I make it do online research for me and then I have it validate my thoughts. I have to keep in mind “hey, it’s mainly predicting the next word”. But I rarely go “wow it was truly off here”. Trust but verify is where I’m at.

I’m at the point where I feel like I do my 40 hour work week in 25 or so. I have a ton more free time. I have to be careful not to share any direct work related info, but that’s easy. I give it generic info then fill in the blanks myself.

You can already somewhat do that with iOS and Shortcuts if you have the chatgpt app. But as OP says, it’s only to talk to. Can’t use it to set a timer or reminder. It’s neat but a lot of my voice assistant stuff is “call X person” or “reply to X”. If I want to talk to chatgpt, I usually open the app and turn on voice for a session.

If ChatGPT can weasel itself into a true assistant with the ability to perform certain actions, then it might be a game changer for the voice assistant space. It’s so much better at understanding context than current assistants on your local device.

That’s actually where I started my moba journey. Was huge HotS player. Mained tanks like Mura, Etc and Garosh. Then Blizzard killed that esports scene 2 weeks after saying they were doubling down on it at blizzcon. Never have a been that mad at a company. I quit blizzard games after that.

Going to League of Legends was a tough switch. Really helped that the League esports scene is a ton of fun. Though it seems having the esports tied money is starting to make that scene die a slow death too.

Not sure when they added this (maybe season 10) , but you can mute in game by default. I use it. You can still see pings and emotes. When someone is obviously griefing with pings, I mute them completely.

The game is a much better experience that way. Chat in that game is overrated. Plus without all the none sense people spew in chat it’s easier to find flash and summoner timers

There’s a subreddit and discord called Summoners school. Going to drop the discord link below as a lot of us are on lemmy to avoid Reddit.

Mobas are hard because of fundamentals people know and you don’t. Learning some of the basics is a huge step up. Tons of YouTube and guides on summoners school will help with that. Don’t worry though too much about picking the best champion. Below emerald ELO (probably even after that), knowing fundamentals and really knowing “your” champion is a bigger deal. Pick a role you like. Then pick a champion that appeals to you playstyle wise within that role.

Finally don’t let failure get you in a negative headspace. It’s really easy and happens often where you are playing against champions you’ve never dealt with before. If the opponent knows the matchup, odds are you get spanked. That’s okay. Review each death and just note what you could have done different and the next time you play that matchup it will go a lot better. League is a game of who has the most experience in a particular scenario.

Take your time. Push your limits and don’t be afraid to die. People get stuck with this “play safe” mentality and you end up in a lot of games where people miss opportunities because they don’t want to risk a death.

Totally with you. I need for this to happen faster. I hate that every bit of “news” in the AI LLM space is currently posted on X/twitter. I want to keep up and I’m forced to have a dummy account just to read peoples posts and get the link to the GitHub. I’m just one of those people that doesn’t understand why most people haven’t switched or at the very least post on multiple platforms to reach a wider audience.

I identify strongly as a Democrat. I have no ill feelings towards the Jewish community. I hate not calling a spade a spade here. I suspect there are some big Jewish donors on the democratic side. Also, we don’t want to lose access to the Israeli tech stack on the surveillance side. So if those are the reasons we are letting Israel essentially eradicate a group of people, then say that to the American people. Let the people decide if we are morally fine with that.

This conflict is complex. But Palestinians were painted into a corner and they truly waited a long time pleading their case to the West with how Israel has been handling them. We did nothing and now we are surprised they went to extremes to fight for their rights and lives.

No one has the moral high ground here. Hamas did something horrible. The response though is highly disproportional. I can’t come up with another scenario where we would be so accepting of this massacre. Native Americans in the US are still treated poorly. If they kidnapped and killed a bunch of none Native Americans that would not justify eradicating them. Then why are we fine with it when it comes to Israel and Gaza?
