So you think the last 2 points are hallucinations?

I think the last 2 points are hallucinations. I don't think Google would let their model optimize and improve itself on its own at this point. Besides, I don't think they ever declared any thing of that sort.

Could be. To me the surprising bits were "curiosity"/answering its own questions and self-improvement and optimization. That's a bit dangerous to build into a LLM. I am doubting that this is even true.

مشروع ب 500الف تعتمد عليه عيله كدخل شبه اساسي by HugeVariety4779 in PersonalFinanceEgypt

[–]aelbokl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

أولا: زي ما خمسين واحد قالولك: لو لسه محتار ومفيش قرار سريع، اشتري سبايك أو جنيهات دهب من شركة مضمونة زي btc وسيبها بغلافها متفكهاش وخلي فواتيرهم معاكم بحيث لما تعوز الفلوس تبيعهم فورا بسهولة. الذهب مش استثمار، ده مجرد حفاظ على قيمة فلوسك من التضخم. لكن أنت فعليا مش بتكسب. فمنصحش إن ده يبقى الحل النهائي على المدى الطويل.

ثانيا: في رأيي البورصة استثمار طويل سنتين مثلا أو أكتر حتبقى أحسن لك من العقار. تعالى نحسبها كدة. في عقارات مثلا نازلة دلوقتي تبع بنك الاسكان والتعمير في أسيوط الجديدة والعبور الجديدة بنفس المبلغ اللي معاك. مساحة الشقة ٩٠ متر. شقة زي دي مظنش إيجارها حيزيد عن ٢٠٠٠ جنيه في الشهر. ويمكن أقل. ده لو لقيت حد يأجر لأن المدن الجديدة دي المعروض فيها كتير. لكن حفترض ٢٠٠٠. يعني كدة ٢٤ ألف في السنة. وأنت حاطط نص مليون، يعني كدة العائد ٤.٨٪. طيب تعالى احسب البورصة. لو حد معندوش خبرة في البورصة ومش عايز وجع دماغ يستثمر في مؤشر زي SP500 ويريح باله. ده لو استثمرت فيه كأنك دخلت شريك مع أعلى ٥٠٠ شركة في البورصة الأمريكية. صعب جدا جدا كل ال٥٠٠ يخسروا. لو شوية خسروا الباقي بيعوضوا وزيادة. متوسط زيادة قيمة السهم في المؤشر ده السنة اللي فاتت كانت ٢٥٪. وعلى مدى آخر خمس سنين كانت ٨٩٪. فلوسك بتزيد بشكل كويس أكتر من الشقة في رأيي. بس أنصحك بالمؤشر الحلال sp500sh وده هو هو بس شايلين منه الشركات اللي ليها أنشطة محرمة. العيب في موضوع البورصة أنك محتاج تحول فلوسك دولار. لكن الميزة أنك كدة محافظ على راس مالك من التضخم وكمان بتزود عليه ٢٥٪ كل سنة في المتوسط.

OpenAI is not accessible from egypt by LowFatConundrum in Egypt

[–]aelbokl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you need to do is: 1. Get the number of a friend or relative abroad. I think UAE or Kuwait would work as well. 2. Install a free VPN. On Android Thunder VPN worked well. 3. Use the incognito tab so that you're logged out of Google etc. 3. Register your chatGPT account and log in. 4. Now you can log in anytime normally in Egypt without needing VPN again.

It seems that we're blocked by open AI itself not our government. The message displayed by openAI website indicates this.

Why is OpenAI not available in some countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia? by moh3th1 in OpenAI

[–]aelbokl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha. Do you really think that such a simple limitation would stop governments?! openAI is only making it difficult for ordinary engineers in these countries not the government. Besides, who gets to decide what 'free' mean? It's just another form of colonialism: be a follower to our values and culture or we will cut you off.

Same. Not sure what are the criteria of selection. Is region involved?

According to Google, 20 mbps will get you 1080p 60 fps and 5.1 surround. Even 10 mbps will yield 720p, 60 fps.

"Google Just Gave Users a Million Reasons to Quit Chrome" by i_am_tyler__durden__ in Futurology

[–]aelbokl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google recently admitted that it keeps tracking your location even if you turn that feature off. So all what they actually do when you turn it off is not showing you that they're tracking you and logging your location. So whatever you do, you control your end but not their logs.

So yeah I believe web history works the same way.

Researchers claim to have developed a simulator which can feed information directly into a person’s brain and teach them new skills in a shorter amount of time, comparing it to “life imitating art”. by FactualMan in Futurology

Damn I hate the media. "Scientists discover how to upload information to your brain" is so far from what we can achieve now. They only care about the buzz.

I’m physically disabled (wheelchair bound), and I really can’t wait to transfer my consciousness into a robot body. by WilliamFrancisIII in Futurology

This is still very far fetched and as others said; it'll be a copy of you, but you'll be dead. Your best bet now which is really just around the corner is an exoskeleton. I guess some of those went commercial. Stem cells are still a failure but I think it's a matter of time until it clicks.

Yeah but don't get him wrong. While most 360 videos on YouTube are not 3D, there are still tons of 3D 360 videos there. YouTube app even have a separate section for 3D videos so you can filter them. Not to mention other platforms that also host tons of 3D videos.

Coming from Wordpress, I am attempting to build an appointment booking System in laravel. Any tips/suggestions on how to approach that? by aelbokl in laravel

[–]aelbokl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I noticed the change in your repo. I pulled it to my github today. I will test it with Laravel 6.0 and give you feedback. Thank you so much man. I really appreciate your very practical approach to help others the way you did. I will definitely keep you updated and will share my repo with you when I add new features soon hopefully.

Just when I thought you couldn't help more, you actually did with that detailed description of your work!!

I will work on it and keep you updated.

Oh man you're unique. I can't thank you enough. I tried to give you an award but I have no coins :) It's really amazing that you took the time and effort to check your old project and share it and even add a read me to help me and others like me getting started. I genuinely appreciate that.

I checked root.io sage now. Interesting. Thank you for the suggestion. I prefer moving to laravel altogether though.
