drawerair@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth itEnglish4·4 months agoMe too. If Chatgpt is like this, it won’t be as controversial as Google’s glue pizza.
Saw this just now. Don’t have many memories re my April 13. On April 10 my tummy was extremely painful and I puked. Diarrhea, I think. I took loperamide. I rested on the succeeding days, including 13. On 15 I was 💯. No more pain.
On another note, the past few days were OK. Hot weather but I endured. I oft thought re 👍 food and drinks. Those were some of the stuff that made me :).
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's easy to imagine yourself withstanding torture in order to save a loved one... until you hit your thumb with a hammer or stub your toe IRL1·4 months agoFound your 5-month-old comment by searching zero dark thirty on Lemmy.
It showed that torture didn’t work. Ammar didn’t say crucial info after the waterboarding and during the 🐕 collar torture. Faraj didn’t say crucial info after the waterboarding.
Torture is 👎.
I viewed 0 dark 30 twice minimum. Great direction and acting.
Jessica – Jennifer Ehle – seemed dumb when she met the al-Qaeda 👨⚕️. I think no Cia person is that dumb.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What movies did people look up to during the 80s/90s?1·4 months agoLately I viewed Close encounters of the 3rd kind. Hasn’t been my cup of tea. Boring plot.
But I’ve liked the time dilation aspect. The previously missing didn’t age. Maybe their velocity was so high relative to Earth’s velocity before landing on Earth. Maybe they were near a supermassive black hole. Maybe both?
It’s a flick so maybe it was magic, not time dilation.
1 reason is that they want as much data as possible. They sell the user data. Or they use the user data to improve their targeted advertising. They want more ad clicks.
Re app versus site, many know how to block ads on browsers. With an app, the firm is hoping they can show you ads. Ads can be removed from some apps but the layperson doesn’t know.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Sync for Lemmy@lemmy.world•Please give Sync a bad rating on the Play StoreEnglish2·5 months agoHe can post here and on another platform (like Instagram) so the users won’t think of switching.
Your Sync is still 👍 so I suggest staying.
My Voyager’s been smooth. Also, I finally have the cross-post feature. Sync doesn’t have it. I prefer Voyager’s implementation of cross-post over the Lemmy site’s implementation. By “Lemmy site” I mean going to lemmy.world on my 💻’s browser.
Many liquid hand soap items say antibacterial. There’s no evidence that shows that antibacterial soap is better than plain soap. I hope there’ll be many non-antibacterial soap items.
drawerair@lemmy.worldOPto NBA@lemmy.world•Will we see beast Doncic versus the Mavs on the Lakers' court?English1·6 months agoHe wasn’t so 🔥 at scoring but it was OK. He didn’t force it.
His long 3 was 👍. His improving chemistry with Bron and Reaves was 👍 too.
I disagree with Thinking basketball’s title. It may be a bit clickbait-y. He’s been the Lakers coach.
That Rodman clip was so 👍. He knew what he was doing.
I viewed the last few minutes. 👎 defense by the Trailblazers.
Trailblazers’ mindset – Don’t let the Mavs score. It’s OK if we foul them.
Schroder was clutch! If he was like that as a Laker, the Lakers’ big shots may offer him a juicy contract in 2023 and he may stay with the Lakers.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?English1·7 months agoPhones are like 💻 now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –
At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are 👍. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already designed a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.
So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn’t clean and the pic quality is below average.
So hard to make a 🔋 that’s 2 or 3 times better than the old 🔋. The tech world has been so hungry for a 🔋 innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it’ll succeed in mass production.

drawerair@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•iFixit wants to fix the soldering ironEnglish2·10 months agoA traditional soldering iron in my nation costs about PHP 450 (about USD 7.95). The portability, accelerometer, temp control, easy repair and the ability to solder while charging a phone are 👍, but USD 250 is so high.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•What Browser do you use on Android, and why?English1·11 months agoUblock origin – best ad blocker
Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•It's the little things that keeps me aroundEnglish1·10 months agoBeen using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don’t want scratches on my screen so I’ve always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I’m on my 3rd tempered glass.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Google Play Store requesting location permission to show 'local recommendations'English2·11 months agoI’ve noticed that more and more apps are requesting my location. 😑
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Google Play Store requesting location permission to show 'local recommendations'English1·11 months agoYes, it doesn’t mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android’s $.
When Chatgpt 1st shook the tech world, I said thanks and please. Then at some point I stopped. I’ve just wanted to enter my prompt very fast. Grok 3 and Claude 3.7 sonnet (extended thinking) have been my go-to llm but when in a hurry, I just use the Gemini voice assistant or Meta ai – I have the Messenger app.
