We would suddenly have very well maintained yards. At least as far as leaves go

“The American experiment endures”

I refuse to download TikTok, but I would occasionally watch a post my friends would send me on the website. Now they force you to download the app, as far as I can tell.

What would you name your pet

Is it though? My understanding is it’s more complicated than “simply better”. You need to account for property tax, home repairs, lack of mobility, housing market, etc.

Interesting. I’m targeting 2065 retirement, so I’ve got a long time. But I guess that fund could suffer from the same issue? Or maybe I should assume the same fate based on past events.

Any tools you recommend? Also, how sure are you that the cost savings actually make it worth the effort? My gross expense ratio is 0.08% (I think I’m looking at the right number?)

I do like the automatic set it and forget it. Especially with scheduling transfers into investment accounts. I could probably get into rebalancing short-term, but I think long-term I would get bored and forget.

I like to go a step further and do a target-date retirement fund. I think Vanguard funds are based on index funds, but they will reduce how aggressively they invest as you approach your retirement date. And the fees are very low.

Lol. I think it’s very dangerous to assume something this revolutionary has a 0% chance of being a net negative. I’m not saying AI can’t be good, but I’m saying it never hurts to have some skepticism. Also, remember, history doesn’t repeat, it echoes.

I honestly don’t understand why suggesting there is a >0% chance things could go wrong would make you so angry. Maybe you should ask ChatGPT to coach you on handling opinions that don’t match your own.

At least it won’t get angry at you for asking a question

How could you possibly know that achieving AI will change the world for the better? Change, I believe, but even people running the AI companies talk about how hard alignment is. There’s a chance it has a net positive effect on the world, but I guarantee you there is also a non-zero chance it has a net negative effect. If you have some way of predicting the future, maybe you should get into investing.

I mean if you think about it, programming is just picking up and putting down letters in a file.

I think what you just described is the electoral college

In new to lemmy. Curious what the significance of ml and world are? Do you mean those TLDs or just lemmy.ml and lemmy.world specifically

It’s been a year or so since I’ve gone down this rabbit hole, but what I remember, the more you block ads and tracker, the more unique your browser becomes, and the more fingerprintable it is.

Tor’s approach is to make every instance if the tor browser look as identical as possible to websites. But Tor is pretty niche. If Apple did the same with Safari, you would be an identical device in a match larger pool of devices.

I think Apple has taken some measures, but not as well as Tot has.

Btw it’s possible to fingerprint people with JavaScript disabled. I found this article explaining and demonstrating if you’re curious.
