What are your best tips for finding quality stuff on AliExpress and similar? (lemmy.world)
 

AliExpress can offer great deals, but it's also very easy to get scammed, receive a cheap knock-off, or even end up with nothing at all. The search engine isn't very helpful, often mixing reputable merchants with sketchy ones and real products with junk.

So far, I've found the AliUp extension, which seems fairly helpful. I wish there were third-party websites with independent reviews, but I haven't found anything truly helpful or comprehensive yet.

So, what are your tips for buying on AliExpress or similar platforms?

Is posix still relevant in any way?

Lisp is the only one I haven't learned yet 😁

Rust, haskell, python, c++ are all interesting choices. I would argue that c# is too close to what you already know to be interesting.

If I were you though, I'd pick a project first, then decide what language makes sense for it.

Well, this should give them some motivation.

Not really. People in developed countries need to divide their emissions by approximately ten times. Every little bit helps. And we should start with the easy ones.

They are obvious because they are rarely irreplaceable. We can live without mass tourism and fast deliveries.

I meant using your polish nickname as your official Spanish name.

How about using your Polish nickname (surely you have one?)? This would likely be easier to spell for the average Spaniard, while staying closer to your identity than going full "Gregorio González".

And yet they are part of the obvious low hanging fruit for reducing emissions

Which Lemmy community would be right for this link? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi,

Yesterday I stumbled on this very interesting story, which describes the horrible mess patients have to deal with in order to get into clinical trials: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-too-quickly.

I wanted to share it on Lemmy, but I couldn't think of the right community. Any insight? I feel this is relevant to a fairly broad audience.

Is anyone working on a personal assistant using RAG and LLMs? (lemmy.world)
 

A personal chatbot that can search through your notes and saved documents sounds like an obvious application of LLMs, but for some reason I can't find such a project. Are there any in the works?

I have an extender already, but it's a cheap one and bandwidth sucks. Any success stories?

Edit: Thanks all for your replies!
