in the case of these "friendly fraud" schemes, they are much more likely to come from more developed regions with strong consumer protection laws like the NA.
if anything in many of those "high risk" regions, chargeback are much less common because fewer consumer protection law e.g. banks would automatically reject chargebacks for transactions with 3DS OTP.
In any case, I thought the "you all look the same" racist trope is that east asian people look similar to one another individually? is there an actual expectation of being able to tell the actual ethnicity/countries apart?
CJK people actually do look very similar anyway, which is not surprising as there are a lot of shared genetics.
The way people tell them apart is going to be mostly based on current popular fashion, which is quite difficult to do with these bust shots and what I'm guessing are older pictures
For example, how does he earn from the Honey Bear murals? does the city or building owner commission him for the murals? If so, does he do some kind of outreach or sales call to the building owners or is it the other way round?
Not an artist and nor am I in the art world, just curious how does business work in there
i was under the impression UPI is just the underlying protocol, but an interface can be built on top be it tapping/QR/others? is that not the case?
looking at the richest person on earth today, I think we have established at this point truth doesn't really matter, so I think its safe to say the CEO have little to worry about looking like a fool or to face any kind of consequences really.
Skeptical, but still, I hope the company is for real
just wanted to make sure before I sign up for a openAI sub
I actually tried this few days back before the Claude Code EULA reinforcement, I went through the same thing.
1. I honestly had a hard time parsing what this is supposed to do or provide over standard opencode setup from the readme. It is rather long-winded and have a lot of bombastic claims but doesnt really explain what it does.
2. Regardless, the claims are pretty enticing. Because I was in experiment mode, and I already had a VM running to try out some other stuff, I gave it a try
3. From what I can tell, its basically a set of configs and plugins to make opencode behave a certain way. Kinda like how lazyvim/astronvim are to neovim.
4. But for all its claims, it had a lot of issues - the setups are rather brittle and was hard to get working out of the box (this is from someone who is pretty comfortable tinkering with vim configs), when I managed to get it working (at least I think its working), its kinda meh? It uses up way more tokens than the default opencode, for worse (or at less consistent) results.
5, FWIW, I dont find the multi/sub-agent workflow to be all that useful for most tasks, or at the very least its still very early IMO, kinda like the function calling phase of chatgpt to really be useful.
6. I was actually able to grok most of Steve Yegge's gastown post from the other day. He made-up a lot of terms that I think made things even more confusing, but I was able to recognize many of the concepts as things that I also had thought of them in a "it would be cool if we can do X/Y/Z" manner. Not with this project.
TBH, at this point im not sure if I'm using it wrong or am I missing something, or this is just how people market their projects in the age of LLM.
edit: what I tried the other day was the code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencode, not this (fork?) project
but what is it about Amp Code that makes it immune from doing that? from what i can tell, its another cli tool-calling client to an LLM? so fwict, i'd expect it to be subject to the indeterministic nature of LLM calling the tool i dont want it to call just like any others, no?
i can see some IT/infra team using these tools to manage their LLM costs, but this blog post seems to hint at some kind of product decision making? what am i missing here?
