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 was really hooked. But part of me believes they are the closest thing to AGI we have right now. Also, I use chatgpt premium a ton and would hate to see it die.

Cool. Now watch them do everything they can to avoid taking in Palestinian refugees. This is not a nock on Palestinians. It’s calling out some of the hypocrisy of Arab/Mid East leaders. Golf nations import tons of foreign labor. They could use Palestinians instead of Indian/Pakistani/Asian labor, so the impact on the economy and society could be mitigated of having these refugees integrated.
I hope I’m wrong. But usually Golf nations are quick to call out Israel and weak on performing any type of real action to help reduce suffering.
Obviously, Palestinians would rather stay in their homes. We have to admit at some point that short of a retaliatory war, the only other way to help is to rescue them. That means taking in anyone that just wants to gtfo.
Honestly, I’ve been trying to find a good alternative to Discord for a while. Matrix is promising. But I tried self hosting it a few times and there were too many technical gotchas specifically in my environment (combination of Cloudflare tunnel and Traefik).
I haven’t checked on the progress of Matrix 2.0 in a while but once that is stable I’ll give it another shot. The eternal problem after that is convincing a critical mass of friends to join you. Most of my friends have decent moral compasses and they still don’t understand why I have not touched Reddit since July.
Discord is awesome. Nitro makes it cool, buts its too pricey for what it is (I’d pay $2.99, not almost $10 a month). My worry is at some point discord will need to IPO. Seems like that IPO/cash out moment is the kiss of death for most great products. Once profitability is “key”, user experience goes out the window.
China’s pretty happy to have better relations with all those oil and natural gas countries. Arab nations need tech and don’t mind having better ties with China and its surveillance tech.
Before you jump at my throat, the West deals with the same nations for mostly the same reasons.
That was a waste of a click. Let me save you the trouble. Its an article that jumps all over the place and tries to draw the conclusion between domestic US and UK policy and the war in Ukraine mentioning one CNN poll. I don’t doubt people can easily be tricked into thinking that the financial support has a “massive” impact on our economy. I suspect the stance with Ukraine will remain to support Ukraine and hopefully destabilize Russia enough to produce change in the nation. Because the alternative is Russia potentially using its allies and spilling the war over into the rest of Europe.
The official stance if pushed would be some minor rebuke with no weight behind it. I come from that region of the world (Arabian peninsula) and muslims outside the peninsula are deemed less important. Its not how everyone thinks, but there is a turn your nose up at these none Arabic speaking muslims sentiments. You can see it in Qatar and UAE with treatment of Muslim Pakistani workers and even treatment of North African Muslim workers (even though they speak Arabic)
So as stated above the religion is used to control the populace and that “we are the right kind of Muslim” sentiment is used to make sure the religion has not real influence on foreign policy with countries like China that can provide serious surveillance technology.
Didn’t he get some Saudi funding for the purchase of twitter? Not the entire amount but a portion?
I did this for the dumbest of reasons, but I’ve been testing Guilded for a week now. My friends and I bought each other discord nitro for a few months over Xmas and when it ran out we were bummed. But we all agree nitro is not worth it unless discord is a part of your income stream like a Streamer or somekind of media relation for a company that hosts a discord for feedback and engagement.
Found someone mentioning guilded randomly on a lemmy comment. Turns out you get higher quality voice, large amounts of emoji and a few features not in discord. Currently no soundboard or stickers. Haven’t tested a stream yet, but I don’t think you are limited there either by default like discord.
Is it the discord killer? Probably not. The discord killer will be the IPO or company that buys them and has to actually make a profit on the platform. Once people get ads in their chat, some will bail. But for now, I think we are in an era of jumping from “growth phase” platform to “growth phase” platform. If data privacy isn’t your primary concern, doing this lets you enjoy features for mainly free until a platform has to monetize.
Advantage of moving on services like discord is it’s feasible for some of us. I have a small group of friends we use discord for and get together to game. So as long as I make a good use case and we like the new platform, jumping to guilded will be similar to when we jumped from mumble to discord.
