Re:How to create a private ChatGPT with your own data on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @08:45PM (#35350431)
How would that work? Like you give the model a new DNA sequence and based on training it tells you if there is an error or not?

Big question is why would the model do better than just regular search? Are the errors not regular?

Also, we let women and children take over. It used to be adult men that were mostly on the internet but it's not worth advertising to adult men because we don't buy much. Nearly 90% of all purchases are made by women for women and children. So if you're selling s** you're selling it to women and children. Men simply don't buy enough s** to justify advertising to them. As soon as women and children got online that was the beginning of the end.

You are on a social media app right now. Why don't people seem to understand this? Maybe what has changed is that everybody on the internet is just a moron nowadays?

Re:USD 4.27B stolen in 2022 in Web3/crypto hacks and scams on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @12:41PM (#34234823)
I made $2 million in the last couple years and pulled out most of it in gold and bought a house. Thanks for saving me for my actions :-)
Re:US Pending Home Sales Fall to Second-Lowest Level on Record on Wednesday December 28, 2022 @02:33PM (#34164878)
The economy is a farce. How can demand be the lowest it's ever been but prices not budge? My modest home in Columbus Ohio has tripled in value in a decade. Either we are on the precipice and prices are in a Wiley coyote moment or the economy is fake.

Re:Alameda Lent Sam Bankman-Fried $546M for Robinhood Stake on Wednesday December 28, 2022 @12:08AM (#34157733)
Is this right:

1. SBF created FTX

2. FTX created FTT

3. FTX lent FTT to Alameda.

4. Alameda pumped FTT and used it to borrow USD.

5. SBF spent USD.

Re:Lightning Network Landscape on Monday December 26, 2022 @04:06PM (#34141884)
This is hilarious. Bitcoin was invented to not need centralized authorities to transfer value. Lightning Network is a centralized authority that helps you transfer value.

These idiots reinvented the legacy banking system with Bitcoin at its base but everything else exactly the same.

Anybody that is for the lightning Network using Bitcoin is inherently against Bitcoin.

I've done it three times. Once on Three acres, then with my wife on 80 acres and now we have downsized to 2 acres.

I could talk ALL DAY about the +/- but youll never know till you do it.

Can you pull a dead fetus out of a sick goat at 3am in the middle of winter? I have. Can you load a full size pig with an injured back foot into the back of a truck, probably not but I've done that too.

Do you like living around animals that could kill you if you look at them wrong? A bull is absolutely nothing to fuck with. Do you want to be 15-30 minutes away from the closest gas/food/hospital?

I say do it but to be honest, most people can't, won't and don't want to even HEAR about the realities of farm life let alone do it themselves.

SBF would have scammed with anything instrument, only the media and gov wants you to believe it had anything to do with crypto
Exactly, crypto was only peripherally related to the legacy financial fraud. But everyone, including this site, wants you to think this was a, "crypto bro's" scam, SBF was NOT a crypto bro, he was a rich kid.

Yes, because marketers don't care about audience size and they have a long history of being strictly moral people.

And if you turned off all the electricity in the world a lot of companies would go bankrupt. What's the point? It's not going to happen.

The floor value of EVERY company is $0, but what is your point in saying that?

You can be mad that people paid $$$ for Beanie Babies but that does mean that there value is nothing.
