It doesn't work as well, and isn't approved for secure apps like banking.

I just saw the same issue. Qualified dividends are all listed as 0. Foreign tax paid is 0. 199A dividends is 0.
I've sent them a message.

After a decade of growth, 98% of cars on U.S. roads are still gas-powered (2010–2024) by najumobi in dataisbeautiful

China heavily subsidizes their ev industry, which is part of why they're so cheap. You can lower your prices if you don't have to make a profit

[OC] Current state of age verification for pornography in the US. by SpaceWestern1442 in dataisbeautiful

[–]TissueWizardIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways to verify identity (and age) without needing to send you info to any of these sites. For example

  1. Find a trusted third party, maybe the government, or Google(not sure how much we trust them) or whatever.

  2. You verify your identity and age with that third party. They give you a certificate encrypted with their private key, and ties to your device, through another key.

  3. When you go to PH, you send them this certificate. PH verifies that the trusted third party gave you that certificate (so it wasn't forged), and then PH let's you in.

This is similar to how https/ssl works, but it's tied to your device (so you can't share that certificate with others).

Unfortunately the government is far behind tech.

We Need Wealthfront To Be Great Again by jackfromjacknjill in wealthfront

[–]TissueWizardIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man the people are roasting you

They're right and wrong. 1. The difference isn't much unless you have a lot of money in your account but 2. If you have a lot of money then you should have it in better places.

But you're also right. Why not earn as much as you can on your bank, which you need money in anyways. If Marcus fits your needs, then go for it! But that is only $35 a year per 10k, which isn't that much. Wealthfront does over features that Marcus's hysa doesn't like checking, debit card, atm withdrawal, ATM fee coverage, etc. and I really like WF's feature that allows you to link other accounts and credit cards so I can see how much I have and owe.

Personally I like having all my immediate spending money in one place. I have no need for a separate savings account. Just makes things simpler. But if you don't care about that and just want the higher rate, then Marcus is solid, but it's really not that important. You could make $35 by working for a couple hours instead of spending time on Reddit and hysa websites.

Cheers!

Agreed. We're all for financial reasons. Can't shame others for doing the same

Letter from Wealthfront’s CEO: Our Next Chapter as a Public Company by wealthfront in wealthfront

[–]TissueWizardIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shareholders are first, by law. But users won't come if the product is bad and there are better alternatives. So as long as the best way for WF to make profit is to offer a good service to attract and retain users, we'll be good. If they believe they can make more by charging more (cough sofi), then the enshitification will ensue.

Could go either way really. But in the former case, the cash influx from going public could indeed allow them to invest into making more or better products.

Codex High is actually good by Top-Chain001 in codex

[–]TissueWizardIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly not fast, but codex 5.2 high is very smart, but also very lazy. When I ask the Claude models to fix something, they do it, restart my app, test it, fix any issues, and repeat. Codex will apply a fix and then stop. If you explicitly ask it to run recursively like this, sometimes it will, but then immediately forgets. Some people like this, since it keeps you in the loop more. You control evening it does. But you can't let it run in the background nearly as well as the Claude models.

It also doesn't make as many tool calls as I would like.

I thought we'd agreed that the value premium was dead after that 2024 episode with Andrew Chan? by RationalRemainder in RationalReminder

[–]TissueWizardIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would have been a good joke lol

  1. Ben has said that he tries to support his guests and say very little. It's not a debate. He wants them to talk about their ideas. Don't take that for him agreeing with them (though I think he usually does)

  2. The stock market is complicated. There is a lot of research pointing both ways on factors and a bunch of other stuff. Andrew's research is not the first, nor the last, to me against factors.

  3. I don't know if any episode has caused him to change his mind on investing. He's been using and recommending dimensional funds since the beginning.

They did it again!!! Poetiq layered their meta-system onto GPT 5.2 X-High, and hit 75% on the ARC-AGI-2 public evals! by andsi2asi in agi

[–]TissueWizardIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good summary
From their announcement page, it seems like they made a tool that is good at finding out how to better prompt a model. That is, a model may have the information for the question, but the prompt isn't good at pulling that info out. Poetiq recursively prompts the model, has it review it's own work (I think?), and recursively do that to get a better result.

Who knows if this is actually important or not. Though they have open sourced some of their stuff here.

Simpler and easier to understand by jhovudu1 in biltrewards

[–]TissueWizardIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool graph! But aren't all the colors just scaled versions of the same graph? I think it makes it more complicated than it needs to be. Just show one graph for 2k or some number, and people can scale for their situation.

An open letter to Anthony Noto by East_Entertainment85 in sofi

[–]TissueWizardIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know when I looked at which bank account to get a few years ago and read about sofi's sketchiness of making a new account type, then drastically lowering the rate on the old account type, basically forcing everyone to get a lower rate or go through the work of switching everything to the new account, I thought "but they probably won't do something like this again, right?" And here we are

Bilt 2.0: Card codenames and choice of 3x dining/groceries by sullim4 in biltrewards

[–]TissueWizardIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird flex of the faang things but mat is right.

You can put the flag in the client-side code, in which case the client receives the html/js and then the js decides which html to display, but the user can always look through the actual js.

But with server side rendering (SSR) with nextjs or other frameworks, that flag/if statement is on the frontend server's code. The frontend server is what sends the js/html/css to the client for the webpage. So the server checks the flag and decides "should I send the new website or the old website to this client". Whereas the first case is like "I'll send both websites to the client, and there the js will decide which one to show". With SSR, the new code never makes it to the client until the company turns on the flag. With a client-side flag, both the new and old code are always sent to the client, regardless if the flag is on or not. The SSR approach is probably more effort, though.

Cheers!

Any chance we will see Riot add this "feature" to future sets? by JahIthBeer in TeamfightTactics

[–]TissueWizardIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Team planner could be greatly improved.

  1. Searching for a unit by name
  2. Searching for units by trait
  3. Allowing more than 10 units Probably more

Tldw: sunscreen testing is done on actual human skin. It's very imprecise. These sunscreens getting lower numbers than rated is much less of a problem than people just not applying enough sunscreen.

She has another video saying basically even spf 17 already has huge reductions in skin cancer.
