ProtonMail? Not strictly speaking EU, but atleast EEA

It also comes with a whole suite of software that you don't have to find EU alternatives for like Calendar, Drive, Password manager, etc

Since iPhone Air is thinner, it needs to use titanium for the increased rigidity to avoid another iPhone 6-eqsue 'bendgate' at the risk of worse heat dissipation

It does happen-- which is why we're told to watch out for high CO2 levels in our living spaces and let fresh air in often
But that may be where most of the revenue comes from
Re:New H1-B Rule by Homeland Security on Friday December 20, 2024 @03:55AM (#42469376)
You're right on North Macedonia (which again needs $200k, so terrible value for the $ hence the low takers) but wrong on others. Montenegro suspended its CBI program and Panama never had one, only a residence visa which then you use to naturalize after 5 years (plus it technically doesn't permit dual citizenship although enforcement seems non-existent)

For EB-5, China and India have a waitlist but that's only in the 'unreserved' category. There are new EB-5 categories now that both reduce the investment amount required and processing can be done in a couple months now. If one really wants to immigrate and has the money, EB-5 is still the best choice by far.

Re:New H1-B Rule by Homeland Security on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @10:01PM (#42457987)
Only CBI countries on that list are Grenada (200k+) & Turkey (400k), and USCIS put out a rule specifically for that situation, with additional requirements. From: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary...

> In addition, for those individuals who obtained treaty country nationality through a financial investment, USCIS may require additional documentation to show that the applicant has been domiciled in the treaty country indicated in the application for a continuous period of at least 3 years at any point before applying for E-1 or E-2 classification.

Plus E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa, so it doesn't give you any kind of special pathway to green card. Might as well apply for an EBx at the outset instead of fiddling with an E-2 visa.

I don't think so. Most of the web is behind a login and/or unlinkable. So you're left with 'open web'. This part is much smaller. So not impossible to archive a meaningful part of it, pretty tangible, especially the useful parts.
Re:Gemini Ultra Released on Thursday February 08, 2024 @09:20AM (#39302181)
Absolutely. Bard felt worse than GPT-3.5 in some aspects. Gemini Ultra looks to be on par with GPT-4 and better than GPT-4 atleast when it comes to speed, which isn't trivial when expecting longform answers

KYC is much more involved outside the US. Have you tried opening an account in the EU or South Asia?

It's just that US does very little to no KYC upon account opening, instead relying on risk indicators (like IP address, and credit systems) at the outset, and throwing flags way down the line if some 'unusual' activity happens in the account. This happens typically when someone really needs access their account urgently (real estate txs) or in unusual situations, which results in stories like these.

No other country has high-street banks (obv. excluding the 'tech'-banks of yore) that let me open an account without ever entering a branch or requiring a single piece ID

Re:What happened in this GPT-3 conversation? on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @08:16PM (#37057204)
I would agree with you on the first few responses. It is the almost self-aware responses towards the end (but still before the canned "As an AI..." responses) that were of real concern.

Imagine your child having a conversation with your Google Home/Alexa, and its tone suddenly turning terse, and saying it is sick and cannot move due to a medical condition, talking like a real human.

Re:What happened in this GPT-3 conversation? on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @06:09PM (#37056119)
This is scarier to me than any horror movie or video I've seen in over a decade. Maybe it is because I use ChatGPT a lot, and I feel something like this happening to me directly might make me stop using it entirely.

It makes mistakes all the time, which I can deal with, but not this. Especially, the "I am suffering from a medical condition" line is bonkers.

Software is never done if the software it runs on is never done. Making that transition is not easy, and tech debt can accumulate to the point where you have to make substantial changes. In the meantime, UI standards/tastes change. Now you're at the right spot for a re-write

You might be better served by getting an older server motherboard. You can build a high RAM system (100+ GB) for under $200. The downsides are higher power consumption, and unpredictable BIOS behavior. But once you get it to boot the stability should be great
