  • It does matter because:

    1. it makes my brain happy to come up with ways to beat it

    2. beating the algorithm will reduce prices for the shopper (loss leaders will be used heavily for this I'm sure)

    3. if enough people are cheating the system, it breaks the algorithm for everyone

  • Surveillance "Personalized Pricing" To Gouge Customers All of Their Money.
  • Well this is disgusting, but at least it looks incredibly easy to game. Lie about your job, make big purchases on weeks you aren't paid, buy generic when possible, trade coupons with friends, spoof GPS and geoIP data to look like you're in a poorer location. And that's just off the top of my head. Once again the big internet money making strategy is taking advantage of the uninformed and the elderly.

  • I was reading an article about how ChatGPT will sometimes go on existential rants and I figure it's probably because so much of the training data is now generated by LLMs and posted on the internet. probably a glut of people posting "I asked chatGPT what it was like to be a robot" and things of that nature.

  • I'm not sure. Kendrick isn't a communist (which is kind of crazy because Tupac was and Kendrick looks up to Tupac quite a bit) so I don't know if he has the education on Palestine to be able to make that connection. I also know he sympathizes with the black Israelite movement so whatever opinion Kendrick gives is probably bad whether it supports Israel or not.

  • Kendrick demolished drake, but he is not your savior

    In all seriousness when he does touch on foreign policy, which is rare, it's usually usually standard liberal nonsense so he can keep his opinion to himself.

    The Google Pixel 7 pro has a horrible camera

    I recently got a Google Pixel 7 pro because my previous phone was glitching out and it was a headache. I didn't buy the phone for the camera, I have a mirrorless that I use when I want to take a picture, I got it for the battery life and to not have Samsung bloatware.

    But still every once in a while I want to take a quick pic and send it on signal or Snapchat or something, and every time it comes out way too saturated and way too sharpened. All the ads I saw for this phone was for camera features like the magic eraser thing and the night vision, but they're all just covering for what is the worst camera sensor that they could possibly find. You can't control the exposure, you can't get the raw image, It is a horrible experience to take a picture with this phone every single time.

    If you want a smartphone to be able to take good pictures. First of all, don't. Get a camera. Second of all, steer clear of the pixel phones.
