>The Post-ZIRP Future: A Shift Towards Efficiency

>A Polished UI is a Must-Have: User experience is no longer an afterthought. A polished, intuitive UI is crucial for user retention and satisfaction, making it a priority in the development process.

What are they talking about here? I feel like UI is significantly worse post-ZIRP. Look at what a mess Twitter/X has turned into. I also see a lot more UI bugs on various IOS apps (Reddit being the major one).

I think it's more of a Roku-issue. I have issues with Peacock, Paramount+, and Hulu on Roku. Getting a more expensive Roku stick instead of the TV default helped.

It is like condensing a reddit thread into a single article. You get a mix of news and immediate takes on the news.

Yeah, this is really nothing more than a cross-promotional look at us. Just two originations trying to get their names out by mentioning AI.

Minor detail but did anyone else notice they are using eu-west-1? Kind of weird for the UK to be hosting there sites in another country (Ireland). I'm sure this isn't super sensitive data but still.

This might just be a misunderstanding. I believe Loon is still owned by Google X, which changed its name to X Development and sometimes just calls itself X. Then of course you have the unrelated Musk company also called X.

I'm interested in the cost of gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct. I've got a basic website using text-davinci-003 that I would like to launch but can't because text-davinci-003 is too expensive. I've tried using just gpt-3.5-turbo but it won't work because I'm expecting a formatted JSON to be returned and I can just never get consistency.

Based on this it seems pretty likely that it immediately imploded and the ‘banging’ was from the Titanic debris itself.

It is truly incredible how Musk has this complete disregard for the American legal system (smoking weed on JRE while having a security clearance, sexual assault allegations on the company plane, taking Tesla private at $420, etc). It’s just baffling that the government continues to not act on any of these things. Seems like the only thing he’s been held accountable on was the Twitter deal but even that was on his own terms instead of the Delaware courts.

For me Instagram ads are nonrelevant and sort of deranged. Probably some of the worst that I regularly see.

For example, I just checked Instagram and got an ad for Amazon. In that ad they were trying to sell me a log splitter, a peanut butter squirrel feeder cage, 25lb sack of peanuts, and a aluminum garbage can you would find in a park. These things aren’t even remotely relevant to me.

I was looking into exporting a database from DuckDB to Postgres for use with Google Data Studio, but whenever I was exporting DuckDB was attaching decimals to integers. This was throwing off the entire import into Postgres. Think I’ll just try this out.

Being realistic for a second this storm probably killed every remaining private insurer and Citizens (state ran last-resort insurer) will probably have to be bailed out.
