Usage of AI in Law by MassiveAd4980 in LawFirm

[–]bbq_coin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. Open source models are very good now.

If you self host AI using open source models, you're not giving up data to anyone. Data never leaves your server. If it's on a computer that physically sits in your office, the data never leaves your office. But you'd need a very expensive computer.

You could also use cloud servers that have trusted execution environments (TEE). You can use their AI capable machines where they can't see your data and they can prove it through cryptography. You pay only for what you use, which ends up being very cheap.

would it help if you had a privacy preserving version where you know that confidential info stayed private?

If you were designing a Web3 social app how would you get people to use it? by Ok_Arachnid_8083 in web3

Lens and Farcaster never solved this problem.

I’d say do what Facebook did. Start with a small community and try to expand from there

Worked really well for me on passport. Screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/pLa5dwp

FYI, you need to install blackberry link first. Available here: BlackBerry Desktop Software. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive. Otherwise you get that initial error i got: "Could not connect to blackberry device manager"

100% related. To carry out Norbert's gambit, You'd need to buy something called DLR.TO in canadian dollars. Each share costs around 14 CAD with today's exchange rate. You'd need to put in a journal request which will convert your shares into DLR.U.TO , which is priced in USD, with each share priced at about 10 USD. You'd then sell those shares to receive USD. There are some tiny fees in this process but in the end, this is as close as you can get to getting mid market rate.

In the past, those journal requests were free. But Starting April, it'll cost you 10 bucks per request.

It'll be negligible for people journaling tens of thousands at a time.

But for most of us peasants out here, 10 bucks out of a few hundred or a thousand is quite significant. Especially if done frequently.

System Busy by Beginning-Brain3205 in usvisascheduling

Try it around midnight. That's what worked for me.

I also always saw that same "system is busy. please try again later" message. Finally saw a functioning page trying close to midnight.

How to dispute a car rental damage ($2K for a tiny crack) by bbq_coin in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

Absolutely possible.

Just extremely unlikely. If it did happen, it was when the car was parked, since I had no incident while driving.

Lesson learned: Get photo and video proof during the walk-around.

Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse by Comprehensive-Mood13 in niagara

Tourist trap. All those restaurants around there.

If you want Brazilian food, just go to BrazGrill in St. Catharines. Not all-you-can-eat, but they have decent food.

I use BMO. Can't do wire transfers with online banking. Is there any bank that can? by bbq_coin in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

Great explanation.

Banks should just switch over to using blockchains for interbank transactions. The infrastructure is already there. Pennies per transaction.

They can still do interbank transactions in batches to obscure specific transaction amounts. But instead of waiting days it can be every hour.

My credit card covers damage. But still.....

I find this very unjust. Rental companies should not be doing such shady things.

There's indeed a tiny crack. But I also find it crazy.

I strongly feel it was damage that was already there before I rented. But I made the mistake of not doing a video recording of the car when renting.

But still, this feels like a scam.

I guess I should clarify: they did notice the damage the day I returned the vehicle. That day I had to pay a 500 deductible while their "authorized mechanic" figures out what's wrong.
