"Ratcheting effect" toward right is becoming stronger? - Lemmy.World
To me, it seems like Harris’s speech at the DNC indicated a strong move to the
right. Seems like she’s going to campaign on have the “most lethal military,”
stopping immigration, and being tough on crime. To my knowledge, this seems like
a radical shift. I don’t think Obama campaigned as far right. I wasn’t old
enough during Clinton’s reign to really follow politics, but I guess he presided
over the “3 strikes” policy and weakening of SSI/SSD benefits?

ChatGPT with GPT-4 much worse now? - Lemmy.world
It seems like ChatGPT with the GPT-4 model is much worse now? It seems to
ignore, or not pay “attention” to parts of my prompts, and is worse at following
instructions than before. Anybody else noticing this, or am I just imagining it?
Last week, my credit card company misclassified my subscription as fraud, which
caused my subscription lapse (I started my subscription back in January, I
believe). Seems like resubscribing coincided with me noticing worse performance.
"DIY" vs Non-"DIY" Mini splits - Lemmy.world
Is there significant quality differences between DIY mini splits (Mr. Cool,
Pioneer) and non-DIY mini splits (Mitsubishi, Daikin)? I’m going to replace 4
window and portable AC units with something more permanent, because 2 are
under-powered and only one provides heat. Thinking of installing 4 single-zone
systems because only 1-2 would need to be on at the same time, and it would
simplify installation a bit. I will be diy-ing regardless, so I would prefer not
needing to buy extra tools and refrigerant from shady suppliers. But, if non-DIY
systems are significantly better, that’s a trade-off I’m willing to make.
