I haven't bought from temu, but I've bought loads of stuff for various things on similar sites like aliexpress. If I have the time to wait for the shipping, it's the exact same components as I buy in electronics supply stores here, but at a fraction of the price. I prefer to not pay a 300-400% markup for no real reason.

Now music recommendations? That might just work given that algorithms are already doing a decent job at presenting new ( to the particular user, not by actual age) music that the user may enjoy

In my experience they really suck..."oh, you liked that song from this artist? let me just push a shitload that is categorised in the same basic genre without actually considered the specific track you liked"

It's so ridiculously generic in its suggestions it's useless. So yeah, AI can almost only do a better job at this than currently.

I'm guessing that answer was a reply to something else, because it makes absolutely no sense in this context.

It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don't have road tolls. They're used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.

You’re either a shitty LLM or you have difficulties with substance abuse like I do. If you’re the latter, please reach out to me again and we can have a private conversation about our journey to sobriety.

Uuh...what does that have to do with electricity prices??

Aw shit i misread that...we have >1$/kWh in peak (which is between 5-9pm) too often here during winter.

I live in Northern California where we pay literally the highest electricity prices in the entire planet

~~Bullshit...you're not even the most expensive in the US. And for "planet reference" the average price ATM where i live (not US) is 40¢/kWh, and we're not even the most expensive...~~

Edit: misread California as Carolina...my bad

I have had a few ads popup in it,

How is this not cause enough to instantly drop them!?

They missed a great opportunity by not calling it Draudio/Drawdio...

Money is power/influence, that has always been the case. Not sure why you felt the need to put that in quotes as if it wasn't universally applicable.

Yeah it's pretty crazy...prices vary by the hour, and that was only the single most expensive hour in that period though, and it was way above normal. Normally it peaks around 0.35USD/kWh with normal daytime prices around 0.2USD/kWh and nighttime prices around 0.1USD/kWh.

My total electricity consumption in the 5-9pm period is only around 2kWh though, so despite high prices it's not much money.

Hah, that's rookie numbers man...we just hit $1.2USD/kWh the other day during the "dinner rush" between 5pm-9pm
