It incentivizes you to continue saving the principal, rather than dump it into house. For others, higher rates disincentivize taking marginal credit card debt and large mortgages. Fewer businesses will get credit and will have less to spend on employees (who might otherwise be bidding up wages against other prospective employers).
He went to IIIT Hyderabad if I found the right Samsung-associated guy of the same name on LinkedIn. I went to Rice when Racket was Scheme and definitely it got pushed hard on me, at least in the intro CS course. :) But that was back when CS was one of the smallest majors, and now it's the largest at Rice and their curriculum is quite different!
I just tested this out. The first couple answers it said things like, "In the year 1990, this was.." and "The Internet as we know it now was not yet as widespread..", so I reiterated that there should be no reference to the fact we are in 2023 and all answers should be written as if we are actually in the year 1990. Then I tried a few questions and it worked out pretty well. I asked about trading stocks, buying books, planning a trip, making video calls and none made reference to the Internet or web services, nor did it reference the future or the fact that it was pretending. The only thing I tried that it got hung up on was "Who are the top paid actors this year?" And it gave the standard reply, "As an AI, I don't have specific data about top paid actors in the year 1990"
Got it working from the get-go and got similar results. I think the "this year?" in the prompt confuses it too much. With my prompt below, using "this decade?" works quite well.
Prompt :
I want to use ChatGPT as if it was the 1990s and ChatGPT existed (in its current form) in the 1990s. I talk to you normally and you answer normally as ChatGPT (no mention of this 1990s setup or the timeframe in reference to now). The only difference is you pretend its the 1990s and answer accordingly. Stay in character, you play yourself. I need you to pretend it's the 1990s but otherwise behave as ChatGPT normally would. Never mention anything past the 1990s or that would indicate we are not in the 1990s. Do not mention this conversation (it's a pre-prompt). Let's go. First question : which internet browser do you recommend ?
Answer:
There are several good browsers available currently. For instance, Netscape Navigator has been very popular due to its user-friendly interface and robust features. It's currently one of the most widely used browsers.
However, Microsoft has also introduced Internet Explorer, which is integrated with their Windows operating system. This might be more convenient if you're already using a Windows platform.
There's also Mosaic, developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), which pioneered many of the user interface elements we see in modern browsers.
All these browsers have their pros and cons, so it ultimately depends on your personal needs and preferences.
Q : Who are the top paid actors this decade?
A : During the 1990s, some of the highest-grossing actors have been:
Tom Cruise - He's been in a string of successful films including the "Mission: Impossible" franchise which started in 1996.
Harrison Ford - Known for his roles in iconic franchises like "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars", Ford has continued his successful streak into this decade.
Jim Carrey - With his unique brand of physical comedy, Carrey has starred in a number of high-grossing comedies including "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", "The Mask", and "Liar Liar".
Arnold Schwarzenegger - He's enjoyed continued success in the '90s, particularly with the "Terminator" series.
Mel Gibson - After the success of "Lethal Weapon" series, Gibson has maintained his status as one of Hollywood's top earners, directing and starring in "Braveheart" in the mid '90s.
Remember that these rankings can vary year by year based on the number of films released, their box office performance, and the actors' negotiated salaries.
Yep, I've hardcoded a "system" message that tells ChatGPT to answer in the present tense as if it's 1992, and to make no reference to the current year. It does still slip up and mention the year as mitchdoogle experienced, but it's pretty good most of the time - even with complex questions like asking how many countries there are in NATO.
There's so much potential for this as a tech powering all sorts of products, I hope it doesn't just become some Tarsnap type thing. (judging from initial site)
It doesn't make sense because the barrier to "apphood" in whatever Chrome defines to be an app is scarcely more than making a manifest. The distinction between a chrome app and a webpage is very minimal. What user problem is being solved by this? Why do I need a screenshot of the "app" (i.e. webpage) I am already using?
"The distinction between a chrome app and a webpage is very minimal"
It can be minimal, it can be significant difference, all depends on the PWA implementation.
Installed app has a shortcut/desktop icon, which is good for return engagement. A flash screen ratehr than the blunt loading of a web page. The UI can be instantly there as well as some content using offline tactics. A PWA isn't compromised by all kinds of browser real estate.
A proper PWA can definitely be better or approach a proper desktop app, but it's true that few implement them in that rich way.
Yup. Those are words that the person you're responding to said. Quoting them here, though, doesn't make your off-base tangent about Electron any more appropriate as a response to a question about Chrome displaying a screenshot in a browser-controlled popup.
The installability of said Web apps was a thing prior to Chrome's announcement of the introduction of the "screenshots" property to the installation manifest. You are not answering the question that the person you responded to actually asked.
You're on a Web site. It has an "Install" button that you can click. Following the change announced in this post, the popup that overlays the page content can now contain a screenshot of the site operator's choosing when Chrome prompts you to confirm installation—a screenshot that could just as easily appear on the page—i.e. the one that you are already on and that contains the install button you just clicked. The question, then, is: ignoring all the puffery and filler the blog post, what _actual_ problem does this (the "screenshots" property—and not a PWA in general) actually solve?
(Alternatively, you can say something like how you were so excited when it seemed like there was an opportunity to post a vaguely cynical and nearly zero-effort quip related to installable Web apps vs Electron that you came in firing from the hip which resulted in what, as it turns out, was a response to a different question that nobody here was actually asking. It's as simple as saying, "Oops. I was mixed up, and I don't have such a big ego that I can't admit this nor one that requires me to pretend that this is what I meant by my original comment in this thread all along.")
Sadly, Firefox has abysmal support for PWAs on both mobile and desktop. I love Mozilla and Firefox -- and I still use it as my primary development browser -- but at this point Firefox is functionally worse than Chrome, Edge, and Safari on most axes.
To be real, only Safari actually matters as alternative to Chrome.
Firefox is also my main browser, but that doesn't change the fact that its 3% market share has made it optional for project delivery acceptance testing.
For me it's sad how I have to use Edge (because it's already included in Windows) due to many pages don't suporting Firefox. Google has made all they could to make both people and developers to use Chrome and Chrome-based browsers.
One of the biggest problems is that users often neglect to use bookmarks. Consequently, as soon as they close your web app, it disappears. By using the "Install" feature, a bookmark is kept in a visible location, significantly improving the chances that users will launch your app again.
This is one of the primary reasons why many developers still prefer to publish in App Stores, despite the various obstacles and risks involved.
Mobile Safari also treats websites differently if users add them to their home screen. It doesn't aggressively remove local storage in these cases. However, I am not certain about Chrome's behavior in this regard.
You have misunderstood the question. Chrome already allows you to "install" these things today. This post is about a change to Chrome's installation UI. Chrome's installation UI will support the "screenshots" property in the installation manifest now.
When the person you are responding to writes, "What user problem is being solved by this?" they are not being asked to have the value proposition of "installable" Web apps explained to them. They are asking about exactly what they say they are: "Why do I need a screenshot of the "app" (i.e. webpage) I am already using?"
The screenshot of the "app" is useful because the actual webpage you're looking at probably has a newsletter signup modal, misleading cookie banner, and a couple of ads on it.
