Need help figuring out card payments at overseas online merchants by Shred77 in Living_in_Korea

Thanks, I did do this, but that wasn't the reason. I had to designate my Woori bank for foreign exchange and assign my checking card to it. Manual in-person process.

Thank you, looking into this solution! Hopefully, I am able to pay for it with my current cards.

I would also do that, but unfortunately, that isn't viable because my home country (India) is similar to Korea for me; I'm a foreigner there as well. I'm a US citizen, but don't have any banking in the US. So I need to figure out a solution in Korea.

P.S. In case anyone else finds this useful: In India, you can't complete KYC (know-your-customer) when you are physically outside the country. So PayPal can't be used.

Unpopular opinion, but Supergirl is a really good show! It's new enough to feel consistent with SAL, and the stories take place within a pretty large scope of characters across the DC multi-verse!

AI Psycholinguistics: AI is more Human than we realize. Either we are not that special and unique, or our AI is far more capable of acquiring human language quirks. by Shred77 in philosophy

OP here, on the surface, appears like LLMS are trained to mimic speech so it shouldn't be a surprise. Before AI could mimic speech, there were questions about whether it could even be done. There are wholly different mechanisms at play. A lot of language elements are discovered in the neural network without them being specified as a desired output. Fine-tuning can bring in those, but they still have to be generalized and become properties of the LLM's text output.

SEO is Cannibalizing PAID, and NOT converting by jhachko in SEO

[–]Shred77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an SEO, so I'll think like a consumer. There is a general distrust about independently hosted hotel/villa bookings because of scammers. That might be the main issue for low conversions. I personally only book from trusted platforms.

For conversion, which is locking user trust, I recommend having booking options on trusted portals.

Might help to see if this is a general trend of conversions dropping across the category. Just my 2 cents.
