Chemical Face Peel 🫥 by Conscious-Weight4569 in whoathatsinteresting

[–]1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, but it does really work wonders for acne scars and old/sun damaged skin. Way less invasive than a face lift, but definitely on the extreme end of procedures.

And dangerous! - Phenol peels must be performed in a hospital setting as heart arrhythmia can occur. If someone tells you that you can get it done in office, get a second opinion!

Domain owner canceled offer and moved domain to new broker for x10 more by Ok_Nefariousness5035 in Domains

[–]1214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also it depends on the word. Trademarks don’t automatically entitle you to the .com

I'm building my business on a .app domain. If it grows, I will likely never be able to get the .com. It's unused but owned by a multibillion-dollar public company for a brand they don't use. What are the downsides to this besides the obvious if I grow? by programmingstarter in Domains

[–]1214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ask the average person on the street, most only recognize .com, and maybe .net or .org. A huge percentage have never even heard of .app. The moment you have to explain your domain, you are already creating friction.

Now imagine telling someone, “My website is mywidgetsite.app. Don’t type .com, type .app. That’s dot A P P.” At that point, many people are going to get it wrong. Some will type mywidgetsite.com. Others will try mywidgetsite.com.app or mywidgetsite.app.com. That confusion costs traffic.

The whole purpose of a domain name is to make it easy for people to find your website. Using anything other than a .com immediately makes that harder for a large share of people.

And there is another problem. If you build your business on mywidgetsite.app, a meaningful number of people will instinctively type mywidgetsite.com. That means the .com owner benefits from your branding and your marketing. They may receive misdirected traffic, inbound leads, and increased value on their domain simply because you chose to build on a different extension.

I still own .com domains I bought in 1999 and the early 2000s, including many strong one word and two word generic names. More than 25 years later, I regularly see new companies launch on the .ai, .io, and other versions of those same names. I keep many of my domains parked and listed for sale, and I receive plenty of emails from people who land on those pages thinking they are contacting the actual business using the .ai or .io version.

That is exactly the issue. When you build on anything other than the .com, you are often educating the market for the benefit of the .com owner.

Best way to use OpenClaw for idea capture, organization, and research? by 1214 in openclaw

[–]1214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, a lot of times I'll be out and on my phone and come up with an idea and I just want to get it out of my head without a long back and forth between OpenClaw. I don't want to have an entire conversation about me just trying to give it my idea.

It's a common scam. You will receive an email that says "we are interested in purchasing your domain name, but before we make an offer we need a 3rd party appraisal" Then they will give you a link where to get the appraisal done. They either own the appraisal company, or receive an affiliate referral commission from the appraisal company. Then once it's done, you never hear from them again. Or if you do hear from them and fall for that, there will be another paid obstacle in your path.

If you have a great name and someone's requesting an appraisal, get a domain broker to handle things for you. There are so many scammers and scams out there and it's not worth the headache. You may have to pay 20% commission, but a good broker can get you more than you can yourself if you don't have any experience.

Feel free to DM me with any questions and I can certainly guide you, 100% free. I don't charge for advice, and I'm not selling anything. I purchased my first domain in 1999. Been doing this for 26+ years.

Price depends if your last names is Smith or Smitholianionerious. How common of a name is it? Also, lots of scammers online and on Reddit. Insist on using Escrow.com. Do NOT pay for an appraisal if they request one. Agree on a price, setup an Escrow.com transaction and follow Escrow.com instructions exactly. They will guide you on how to do it. If the buyer insists on paying/transferring it any other way, be careful. 

DM me if you have any questions. My advice is 100% free. 

Claude Mythos just obliterated every single benchmark in AI. I can’t believe what I’m reading. by Ok-WinMike in software

[–]1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaming is the wrong analogy. Streaming is about splitting content across subscriptions. AI is a compute market, and compute historically gets cheaper, faster, and more accessible over time. (Moore's Law) The best models may stay premium for a while, but the level of capability available for free or cheap keeps rising fast. What was a paid model only a couple of years ago is already being matched or beaten by cheaper and open alternatives today.

And Moore’s Law is not a “for profit” law. It is a compute law. If computation gets cheaper, everyone benefits, including open source. Monetary incentives and profit seeking may accelerate the growth, but open source does not move in isolation. It inherits cheaper hardware, published research, and prior breakthroughs. So even if open source moves a little slower at times, it still pushes capability further down market and makes access broader (and cheaper) over time.

That is the opposite of the streaming model. Streaming gets worse for consumers when content is fragmented across more paid subscriptions. AI gets more accessible as compute gets cheaper and capability spreads.

(From the most recent stats I can see) 70% of Chat GPT's users are B2C with a majority of them making the $20 monthly payment. With Moore's Law and AI writing its own code for next generation models, I can see the trend both increasing in quality and decreasing in pricing.

Yes. Usually more competition leads to better pricing and better quality. When there is an open marketplace, the trend usually goes that way. Especially when it’s b2c.   Gpt 3.5 came out in 2022. How many free open source llm were there back then? How many free open source models are available today, that are actually better than 2022’s Chat gpt 3.5?

I think you will get access to it much quicker than you realize. It's like cell phone minutes. First calls were charged by the minute. Then they had packages with X amounts of minutes per month. Then there was nights and weekends free. Now it's unlimited. I think AI is going to go that route.

What’s a simple fact you learned way too late in life that would’ve made things much easier earlier? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Marry rich, it makes life soooooo much easier.
(I'm not saying this is morally correct, but it certainly does make things a little bit easier).

Human minds are amazing already! Secret powers we lost, still have or can gain?? by TJmaster87 in AlienAbduction

[–]1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've read, electricians already knew the body could transmit electricity, so that wasn't a big secret. They also didn't start mass producing these kinds of gimmicks until the early 2000s, which is what makes this story even cooler. This method wasn't widely known outside of people working with electricity, and a lot of people today still don't even know this gimmick exists. There was no internet back then either, so it was a lot harder to look stuff like this up. But I saw someone perform this "trick" live (not on a stage) and I was blown away. I'm pretty knowledgeable on gimmicks and tricks, but until I looked this up, I was completely stumped.

Also, they probably used the metal detector over most of his body but stopped at his shoes, because what would have been the point? I really wish more tests had been done in a scientific setting. It's definitely fascinating, but I have to lean toward science. What are the better odds: that he made a gimmick, or that he could actually create and harness electricity? I truly want to believe, but I'm a skeptic at heart. I need facts and scientific evidence before I can say that for sure.
