I use them frequently but I'm skeptical of their "private" claims.
I asked one of the DDG ChatGPT bots about some error output from a program and apparently forgot to redact a URL. I found the DDG bot trying to access it about half an hour later. It was a long and randomly generated alpha-numeric subdomain and the conversation never discussed the URL or anything related to it- it was simply buried in the pasted error output. I think this was even before the DGG bots had web search capability. I was thoroughly spooked.
I have the same sentiment. I've never really had success using Gemini outside of translation. Although, even with that, Gemini would often refuse and I had to remind it that it does actually know other languages.
My most recent trials output single commas as responses to basic questions or it simply refuses the task on ethical grounds such as generating a photo of a backpack wearing a hoodie for some reason (it claimed harmful stereotypes and instead generated an ape).
Refusing to do perfectly ethical tasks is probably the most consist problem I've had.
I use a Firefox profile to watch specific videos while logged-out just for the focused recommendations.
I've also noticed that I getting more recommendations for small creators with little to no views/subs when I'm browsing from a smaller, developing country.
The article I read a few days ago said that the tattoo artist posted on Instagram advertising their arrival to the US and taking clients. They had done the same with the previous destination on their tour.
If it's true, it seems pretty open and shut, so I'm not really sure why this is popping up on HN now.
A few weeks ago I noticed my cheap Toshiba microwave does the same when the door button is partially pressed. Scary! I stood there holding it just right for a very long time to make sure it wouldn't heat a cup of water.
The author mentions a few social media sites but there are no links in the article or the "about" section to actually follow. I would have liked to have their content in my feed.
My lesson came while ARP poisoning, when I saw that a teacher was using their social security number as their password.
Suddenly I realized even dumping passwords was an invasion of privacy, even if I didn't use them. And that passwords should never contain sensitive information!
>Showing a realistic depiction of a tornado or other weather events moving toward a real city that didn’t actually happen
A bit funny considering a realistic warning and "live" radar map of an impending, major, natural disaster occurring in your city apparently doesn't violate their ad policy on YouTube. Probably the only time an ad gave me a genuine fright.
I used to do this. Then when Google's search results started declining in quality, I often found it better to search by what the average user would probably write.
Yeah that was definitely a concern ahah. But it was a past and short-lived life and tipping big was definitely a favorite hobby at the time, so I'm sure that if I completed the order that he got a stack!
I was surprised to find RC is also common in the country Georgia (Sakartvelo), but Coke seemed to most common, and I do not recall ever seeing an RC advertisement, especially with tanks.
