Yeah that’s a fair point. I don’t think Dropbox does ads but the others I mentioned and the ones you mentioned all show/play ads for the free tier.
I guess OpenAI will be pretty keen to get ads into their free tier too, once they run out of investors’ money.
Thanks for the numbers, you were saying the subscriber percentage was embarrassing so I was curious about that rather than their fairly infamous losses.
You’ve said OpenAI have about half the subscriber percentage of Dropbox, but if Dropbox is that profitable then that seems like they are doing particularly well and perhaps that subscriber percent is above average?
What’s a normal amount? What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers?
Having a little over 1% doesn’t seem that bad, I am faar more surprised that over 1% of users pay for ChatGPT (if your numbers are accurate).
The thing is, it’s not true about any E2E encryption where all parts of the codebase are controlled by the company.
It could be as simple as updating their website to send your password to them in plain text while logging in, now the encryption is useless as they would have your password.
As someone with a public facing website, there are significant volumes of scraping still happening. But largely this appears to come out of South East Asia and South America and they take steps to hide who they are so it’s not clear who is doing it or why, but like you say it doesn’t appear to be OpenAI, Google, etc.
It doesn’t appear to be web search indexing, the scraping is aggressive and the volume will bring down a Lemmy server no matter how powerful the hardware.
I have a completely unrelated question but is the US the only developed country where without health insurance you get no medical care at all?
I don’t know the answer but does tab to autocomplete work in other contexts? E.g. you type ‘cd ca’ and it fills it to ‘cd catpics’?
I’m not at a PC right now but from memory you’d have to be in bash or similar, it won’t work in sh.
What’s your solution to this problem for the rest of your digital life?
So testing on animals?
Does it say Weird Al?
I remember every parody saying Weird Al, and online campaigns to have people label things “Not Weird Al” so it would still come up in searches but people would know it wasn’t actually Weird Al.
Yeah that’s a pretty good argument for it.
Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?
Why group it into language instead of say a ‘web’ directory or ‘android’/‘mobile’?
I’m just curious, I am more of a ‘throw everything in one directory and home I remember what I’m looking for’ sort of organiser.
Multiple people in this topic say they organise in directories for different programming languages, something I have never considered and I find it to be an odd way of organising for some reason I can’t explain.
Where do you put a project with a Javascript frontend and a Python backend?
Haha yip that’s the top album for me, this checks out. Apparently I/we are a top 1% global fan with 667 minutes listened to.
I just took the info from the article, what is wrong about it?
In case people are wondering, from left to right in the bottom image:
There is also a Jeff Bezos one not in that image but seen in the other images.
Ah thanks!
I am under the impression it’s dedicated hardware not a VPS, but it’s leased from Hetzner they don’t maintain the hardware themselves.
Couldn’t most people here could do it in one? The code is in the post and newlines can be removed like in minified javascript.
