kagi is just like duckduckgo

under the hood they track the shit out of you, even more than DDG with their machine learning tools for user based scoring system for links

remember everyone, duckduckgo refused every independent audits, proprietary stuff like kagi is no exception, history repeats itself

also i find it weird that product placement comments like this one are always ranked super high on this website

they are done with DDG, they shifted focus to kagi instead? suspicious, it's not even out yet, only work on macOS, and is a team of "benevolent living in San Fransisco", living on donations in the most expensive state of the US, sure :thinking_face:

They were quite right. In no sense is what you are doing AI. People have been using time series techniques to analyze and attempt to predict data since before the computer.

Wind power is in most places the major contributor. Therefore correlations between wind regimes in the considered geographic zone is key. At a continental level (according to various scientific studies: in Europe, China and the US) it is low enough to offer ways to obtain a wind-powered baseload.

I think the idea was interesting, but the execution and adoption, ehhh. It sacrificed buttons for the touch bar, while it could have both. And it's a very expensive feature for very little. I wonder if a touch bar with physical buttons would've worked better.

There's also a Windows laptop out there with the equivalent of a touch bar, but much bigger and iirc it tilts up when the laptop is opened up. More usable screen real estate there.

This is a good one, I hope I'll have mine for that long (started 2019).

Personally, I stopped worrying about dotfiles and GNU stow after joining the cult of Nix. While I gave honest attempt to everything else, Nix made it stick. Now I only have one single repo, where In write config for (almost) all of my applications in Nix, deploy them with Nix, rollback with Nix etc. Compared to hodgepodge of INI/YAML/TOML/XML/JSON/WHATHAVEYOU it is nice to to only have single tool to worry about.

I wished Guix had the momentum and size of Nixpkgs. I'd much prefer a Lisp than the language contraption of Nix.

But road safety has only increased in terms of accidents per km driven. There's just too many cars on the road now.

I think we should push for full self driving asap though.

Taking the driver out of the equation means no longer stuffing cars wth systems intended to second-guess the driver and their abilities. No more need to check for mobile phone use because the occupants are free to do what they want. No more need for speed cameras or distance between cars. More efficiency due to people not constantly overtaking because they're in a hurry.

Right now it's becoming this insane situation where a driver is not trusted at all and second-guessed at every corner.

I don't own a car anymore and I hope I will never need one again. I don't want to drive like this, constantly being looked over my shoulder. It's not worth that hassle.

We recently were gifted a DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI ... and while the hardware side works pretty flawless, the software side is just a major shitstorm. Like every time I open the control app the map looks different. So far I had the following problems:

1. The "split this room" feature does not work on two rooms that have been detected as one. I believe that that is due to the bot not recognising a central chimney as "not room".

2. While cleaning it detects the closed bathroom door as a wall and then does not path into there anymore. As far as I can tell this does not trigger any warning, the bot just drives back into the charging station after some time.

3. The position of the charging station was lost, which made the bot update the map in a weird way, superimposing where it thought it was skewed over the map.

I feel like some of those problems could be fixed fairly easily if users had more control over the SLAM process. I.e. the ability to permanently fix walls in the map.

One advantage is that you can map a button to a folder, allowing you to drill down into a whole different set of items. This isn’t functionally different from what you can achieve with a numpad + modifiers, or even just a regular keyboard, but it’s clearly nicer and requires less memorisation.

It’s also not just “custom icons”, it’s a live display — e.g. in the top image of the linked post, you can see a display on one of the buttons showing (presumably) an upcoming calendar event.

> since that is huge subject often misused by people that do no understand that all ownership of private capital and means of production is "capitalism" under which there can be good and bad effects.

I would argue that this misses the point. Capitalism isn't just a pile of physical capital. If it was, it would be impossible to result in oppression since physical capital must be maintained and it can be reproduced. Nobody would have any right to complain. Just think about it, would you be jealous of Jeff Bezoz' maintenance bill for his mega yacht? No, you are "jealous" that he has exclusive monopoly rights that restrict your own rights and perhaps even doom you to poverty.

It would be more appropriate to call "capitalism" the obsession to put the interests of capital and its owners above all other interests. This means, capital should be allowed to override the basic needs of other humans. Capital should have the right to deny others the ability to obtain shelter or food. Because of capital it should be possible to deny others the ability to trade or be employed.

>capitalism as an economic system is a foundation for liberty, one can not have a free society with out capitalism in some form.

Now you have trapped yourself inside a network of contradictions. If capital overrides all your decisions, how can you consider yourself free? How can a society where only one special groups interests are being heard, call itself free?

No, instead of doubling down on taking ever more people's rights away, we should be doing the opposite. We should be striving to give everyone the ability to help themselves, decide for themselves and to live their lives according to the best of their abilities.

This is where the paths diverge. You are confusing market economies with capitalism, which is merely a perversion of market economies. A free market is inherently anti-capitalist because it values the freedoms of its participants over any special interest groups. A free market inherently denies capital the ability to deny other people the ability to obtain shelter or food. It inherently denies capital the ability to prevent others from trading and forcing them into unemployment.

No, a free market isn't free as in gratis. It's free as in freedom.

I think Smalltalk was inspired by Simula and Kay has given it credit. For me the big insight of Simula was making the object first class. Once you make something like that first class you get a lot of benefits and the distinction between the styles of doing that (e.g. Lisp Vs Smalltalk or Simula) are important but not near as important as that first insight.

> In Simula I, Dahl made two changes to the Algol 60 block: small changes, but changes with far-reaching consequences. First, “a block instance is permitted to outlive its calling statement, and to remain in existence for as long as the program needs to refer to it” [11]. Second, references to those block instances are treated as data, which gives the program a way to refer to them as independent objects.

I chat with the cafe owner on my street fairly often.

My grocery store, however, is 20 minutes away in a neighboring town. They have a large staff which is in frequent rotation. The staff also is mostly early 20s or younger age. Add all these things up, and it just doesn't make much sense for me (or them) to go out of our way to socialize.

You read or interpret this wrong. The EU government might be acting in good intention and I acknowledge that. Yet consumer electronics has the means to collect data for profiling like crazy. EU government data privacy acts are weak measures compared to liberal company laws with their seats outside the EU jurisdiction. Freemium will nudge far to many people to give away their data.

An GDPR relevancy outside the EU is just a paper promise.
It's useful from the standpoint it was explained in Sapiens (like how the fiction of the LLC allowed certain innovations) but not so much in this context.

Pretty much. They try to link devices to a user so they can track you as your browsing swaps from one device to another, its looking at you at a user level. Google have discussed stopping this but I am not aware of them doing it.

They do this for both logged in and not users. If interested read about 'Google Signals' as this is the way they are increasingly look to track in the post-cookie future.

to stop it... not sure. Avoid Android and use anti-tracking blockers like Ghostery? Not sure how well this latter stuff works or if you just become another persons customer.
Yeah I mean any functional operation on a list (I'm thinking of JS mainly) should be parallelizable, assuming the interpreter can determine that the order of execution does not matter.

I recall that Scala was the first language that introduced FP to me, and they made the developer explicitly tell that a functional operation could be done in parallel, after which the compiler and runtime would take care of the rest.

This was implemented in the extreme in a project that allowed you to write a functional style series of operations, which were translated to Hadoop map and reduce jobs, each of which could be executed in parallel at large scale. So very compact and succinct code, but very powerful.
> That add-on works great. On firefox. On a desktop. Of a computer I own. That's not exactly covering a significant portion of my use cases.

That is why you should be happy about GDPR as it covers all your use-cases.

GDPR is actually great but no one reads it and only listens some scaremongering by companies that are hurt by it. The problem of mass surveillance and abuse of personal data is also huge. But again no one thinks about it outside some cookies and ads.

Enjoy watching about GDPR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-stjktAu-7k (best done presentation that I was able to find on internet, you might notice in first few minutes that is not about you having access to PII but about using PII - or: I have access to a gun. But I wont use or abuse it. As I might end in jail.)

Most of the folks I know here think of Europe as quaint

I got so fed up with phpmyadmin, I wrote my own version of this kind of thing. It's not one file though, and only satisfies my specific use cases (although it can browse/search tables, create, edit and delete databases, tables and keys). PHPMyAdmin is so aggressively awful. Writing my own thing for it, I was most surprised by how slow it is. I figured it was just innate to the queries being run to display the metadata required, but nope, my own tool turned out to be way faster.

I also really hate that it doesn't support opening new tabs properly, and the frame-sidebar table listing that goes out of sync with the actual database if you edit tables. also why is the default number of tables listed so low?? I'm all for more competition in this space
Notably, Nix with home-manager. Makes it pretty seamless for me to switch between Linux, Mac, and between employers. I love it even more since I got my home-manager config to be a Nix Flake - this way I have it 100% deterministic and can upgrade/downgrade the tool versions when I like without worrying too much whether I'll be able to go back if something breaks (having flake.lock versioned in git is kinda mandated and checked by Flakes).
Our project was a recipient of a similar microgrant - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/01/openbenches-is-a-recipient-...

It was fantastic! It let me buy some computing resources which I wouldn't have had access to. And, more than that, it was tangible proof that other people liked my idea - which is emotionally satisfying.

There was no complex application process and no auditing. That certainly opened it up to me as I hate filling in forms.

I hope one day I'm in a position to help others in a similar way.

> RSS had a bunch of good ideas, but it never had good browser support by default and the need for the website author to create it, limited it's usefulness.

I discovered RSS late, I knew what it was but I never paid attention to it. Now it is my primary source for aggregation. It works well and is very alive. Big sites often provide multiple categorized feeds, RSS readers are simple and highly customizable in terms of curation.

Curation and organization/bookmarking are the killer features here, not necessarily reading itself. I often visit sites directly from my RSS reader and I don't typically care whether I'm only getting headlines and descriptions/leads rather than the full content from a feed.

The only bummer is that it isn't adopted by the masses. I think browsers should be blamed here. It should be a default, easy to use feature of every major browser IMO. I just don't see a good counter argument. There are a ton of unexplored use-cases for it too.

> I am also not a fan of RSS being basically a copy of the website, not the website itself. Shouldn't good HTML markup be enough to retrieve the information automatically?

I don't necessarily agree, but an alternative is promoted by the Indieweb community. They are marking up their HTML in a way so you can extract a feed directly from itself, I think it is called h-feed or similar. Most of the arguments I personally disagree with, especially thinking of HTML files as the source of truth, because in my worldview this complects data projection with normalized data representation (which HTML is terrible at). But all of their arguments have a compelling rationale that are interesting to think about and you might agree with.

I'm in the same boat, and have more or less settled on simply writing plain text (markdown format) files in a plain directory structure maintained by me. I then use Obsidian to "organize" the notes.

I'm also guilty of just jotting quick notes into iOS Notes. It's always there, and "good enough" for most quick note taking tasks. I prefer plain text for longer notes (which i assume has a longer shelf life), but if i'm just jotting down a quick list of things i need to get done today, iOS notes is more than enough.
