Yeah, i figured it was probably under priced with our current host, but im not looking to balloon costs 4-5x or something when switching to a new host, hopefully. I’d like fully managed if possible, but yeah, another thought was including people who could look at things in my stead, though I don’t really have a list of people i’m aware of who i could recruit.

thanks! i’ll have to look these over!

If a user is banned on their home instance, that ban is federated out to all instances. If a user is banned on a remote instance, they’re just banned locally on that instance, and their account remains active for all other instances.

They’re likely some remote users who have interacted enough with your instance to be federated over, and then banned on their home instance.

They were ripping off both their users and anyone using affiliate links (including the content creators who promoted them)

During checkout, when you clicked the “find coupon” button in honey (which it prompted you to do on screen during checkout), it would strip out any affiliate link and add their own. So if you clicked on a product from a review, they would strip out the referral link from the YouTube video or website that sent you and indicate they sent you instead and get the commission.

In addition, they were working with online retailers and basically extorting them. They said that if retailers paid them a fee, they got to pick the discount code that was used during checkout. So if there was a 20% coupon and a 5% coupon, stores could pay them to ignore the 20%.

This, in turn, was basically faking out their users, thinking they were giving them the “best deal” like they claimed to.

You’ve obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they’re unsafe to eat.

Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.

Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it’s unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.

FWIW, at this point, that study would be horribly outdated. It was done in 2022, which means it probably took place in early 2022 or 2021. The models used for coding have come a long way since then, the study would essentially have to be redone on current models to see if that’s still the case.

The people’s perceptions have probably not changed, but if the code is actually insecure would need to be reassessed

I guess that would just be a GPU?

Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They’re purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.

As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.

It’s worth noting that some coursera courses are created and maintained by actually accredited institutions, and some courses qualify as college credit with ACE accreditation. Also, many tech certifications host their courses on coursera too, like microsoft has official azure cert courses on there.

That doesn’t necessarily mean anything for any given random cert, though, because that means that the entire site is a pretty big grab bag in terms of the usefulness of their certs.

sure, I’m not saying GPT4 is perfect, just that it’s known to be a lot better than 3.5. Kinda why I would be interested to see how much better it actually is.

Worth noting this study was done on gpt 3.5, 4 is leagues better than 3.5. I’d be interested to see how this number has changed

“shizzle for rizzle” is snoop dogg slang from the 90’s

Earthbound is eternally on my list of games i play through every couple of years. Its such a great game. Some aspects of it are a tad clunky by modern sensibilities (inventory management, going through the menus for a lot of things, etc.), but overall it holds up really well. Also if you liked earthbound, mother 3 is also 100% worth playing. Mother 1 (or beginnings, or whatever you wanna call it), is hard to recommend to anyone but the most diehard fans, though.

I like earthbound the most of all of em, but thats purely for nostalgia reasons. From a critical perspective, i think mother 3 is the superior game.

whenever you start a game, there’s always a phantom player 2 that joins, and it absolutely wrecks the hardest difficulty

MinuteFood on youtube did a video just yesterday talking about the science of cast iron, and why they’re not dirty like many people seem to think.

You missed out, bro. It was you from the future calling to warn you of your dire fate and how to avoid it.

I agree with the other poster; you should look into proxmox. I migrated from ESXi to proxmox 7-8 years ago or so, and honestly its been WAY better than ESXi. The migration process was pretty easy too, i was able to bring over the images from ESXi and load them directly into proxmox.

If you invest 80 million and make 80 million in return, it’s a wash, and you wouldn’t pay any taxes because you didnt make any money.

You would have to invest 80 million in a movie, scrap it, and then 80 million in another movie, which goes on to make 160 million in order to have 80 million in profits to offset with an 80 million write off. This would result in a net $0 made for tax purposes.

you can’t just write off anything you want. You only get to write off certain things, but at the end of the day, a tax write off is just a tax deduction for how much you need to pay, in the same way any normal person paying their taxes does. Just like with personal taxes, you can just reduce your tax liability down to 0 if you get enough deductions.

Corporations obviously work differently than for a normal person, but the same basic principle applies.

Edit: i suppose i should clarify - You can take deductions for investment losses. Normal people can even do this. What you’re referring to would be a deduction along those lines, where you’re “writing off” a loss on your taxes. If you invest $100 in stock, and sell when the value is $50, you took a $50 loss, and can deduct those loses from your tax burden, because you’re required to pay taxes on 50 less dollars that year.
