I liked this. I don't like that they took it offline without even updating the home page. Frustrating. I was searching into the void.

A friend who is a Kagi user told me that they posted on Discord they have taken it offline. Meh. It has been down for days. It was Kagi's contribution to free and open search launched when Marginalia came out.

The home page still shows promotional spiel, but searches no longer work and it sounds like it isn't coming back.

Maybes Kagi only launched Teclis to try to kill the handful of tiny independent non-commercial search engines like Marginalia.nu and Wiby. I weep for free and open non-commercial search engines when big corporates can do this to them.

I am hoping for Marginalia.nu can thrive now. A commercial search engine running non-commercial search always seemed off.

Does anyone know that means Kagi is just repurposing Google and Bing results now?
WEIRD teens to boot ...

Eg the graphs showing smart teens being less likely to have sex may well accurately represent the data but the effect doesn't neccesarily persist, late (sexual) blooming is a thing.

Women would definitely like charm, humor, success, kindness, etc - in the subset of men they were already going to sleep with.
FFmpeg code is god-awful. A lot of it is like from 2002 and written without regards to any sort of "sanity". People who write assembly routines these days have a structure to their code, and if they overrun buffers or whatever they'll document what alignment assumptions they're making. FFmpeg will just start patching its own code at runtime because someone thought it was a good idea on Pentium processors.
The big thing I always wondered was what do you do when you are stuck with something that nobody else has an answer to?

I did contest math as a kid, loved it, but of course there's always an answer. Often if I didn't get the answer, there would be some kind of "oh yeah why didn't I think of that" when I heard the solution. So you would always be bailed out eventually. But also sometimes I'd get this bolt from the blue and solve the thing. It would be some weird little trick that didn't seem to come from anywhere or lead anywhere other than this one solution. I'd also see these bolts in other people's solutions. That is both satisfying and insanely frustrating, because how do you know you'll keep thinking of these things?

At some point, you will hit a rock that nobody you know, even really smart people who have done this their whole lives, can jiggle. What do you do?

I also wonder about how it works working on "proper" mathematical problems. Are people who do that basically experts at the little problems? Or is it like coding, where you can design a fairly large system and rely on the parts to come together one way or another? Because when I read a math text, it seems really quite dense with things that require a lot of details to be correct. If it's a house of cards spanning a hundred page thesis, how brittle is it?

Hi, Taiga Designer here!
We are aware of the kind of design issues you mentioned. But, for now, we are only solving critical issues (kind of security ones and so) on Taiga 6 because our team is focused on the design and development of the new Taiga Next (codename). We really appreciate this feedback, though, and are actively listening to the community.

I can proudly say that our team not only cares about design, but has put Design and User Experience at the center of the product development. We are designing an improved interface, with special accessible approach, and also having special care about the way space is used (information density like you said). Likewise, we know this is a critical point in terms of a project management tool.

I'm really looking forward to sharing more advances! For now, we are sharing some of them on Taiga community (https://community.taiga.io/), please feel free to post your thoughts, ideas, and feedback.
I'm dead. <skull emoji>

Just reading this makes me sweat. Aren't hornets - and wasps, to a lesser degree - extremely territorial? How do you deal with one when it find its way inside you house? Not to mention, aren't hornets and wasps natural enemies? I imagine you didn't have the two set their nests near your terrace simultaneously?

I can intellectually process all the facts you wrote, but in my dealing with wasps and hornets, I find it hard to see them as anything than fast-moving balls of pain, always ready to strike at you out of nowhere, when you least expect them. Also, as a relatively fresh parent, as a threat to my children. I tend to prefer dealing with them by installing mosquito nets in all windows, but if a hornet gets in and doesn't politely leave, it's makeshift flamethrower time.

Seems to be overly focused on women. What about men? High IQ men are less interested in humans in general because of their unreliability / lack of depth / generally takes too much time dealing with their emotions, so they dont seek out females and end up less fertile overall. There is asymmetry in sexual demand from the two sexes so women are generally bombarded with requests and don't end up in a symmetric situation.

What's wrong with the picture of elon with tesla people ? Many of those guys are average or above. Seems like the author thinks hollywood is the attractiveness standard - that s false, hollywood is just a show.

Then again , high intelligence is not necessarily more fit. In the modern world, being social and having a network of rich people is more powerful on average, so selecting for average or below intelligence may be more fit.
> I might even start contributing once Rust is more common!

as someone who's recently experimenting with Rust, why is that so? I mean if you have something in the kernel where you could give valuable contribution, why letting the language stop you? guess any dev who can write Rust today is also a good C dev, ain't it?
Ironically I feel your beliefs about this stem from whatever bubble you yourself are in. No normal person goes around afraid of being "attacked by a woke mob". This is some stories you've been told, and blindly believe, from the other side.
It's called a revealed preference, but here, the impetus is virtue signaling. Women have virtue signaled about sexuality for thousands of years because they would be killed for not being virtuous. It's a defensive trait that has evolved over time since prehistory. A few decades of feminism, sex positivity hasn't erased that.
Us too ;-)
I've found it similarly great for writing postcards and leaving cards.

In all of these situations having 30-50 words of fluent language with a friendly vibe is still much better than a generic "Wishing you well" or "See you soon".
It has been and is being proven time and time again that physical attractivity (and all its constituents: height, facial-symmetry, voice, anatomy, etc.) is the one biggest deciding factor in who you can have sex with, date and marry. Besides that your physical attractivity also decides your platonic fate, significantly impacts your salary, court/legal sentence length and many more.

And I am not even saying this from a too bitter perspective. I am someone who fell on the right side of this scale. I simply have a very astute awareness for this phenomenon. I had the (dis)pleasure of being around some people with godlike attractivity and the way everyone around them bend backwards to satisfy their needs or sucked up to them was eye opening.

Incels call this "black pill science" and get condemned for it.

I really don't think it's appropriate to mandate SOME people but not OTHERS. If it's necessary for public health make it mandatory. If it isn't don't. But forcing random groups to have it and letting others off is unfair and divisive.

I feel the same way about public school mandates: if all kids need it, make it all kids. Don't exempt people based on if their parents are rich enough for private education!?
This is broadly correct of course. Modern IPR's have been explicitly pushed since the 1990s or so as a neo-colonialist racket; force dirt-poor people in other parts of the world to pay for the West's tech and content, and rake in the billions. Needless to say it doesn't work like that and can never work like that.

ChatGPT has no knowledge on how to play chess.
It can't even get the basics of openings or even colors right.

Prompt: What are the moves that characterize Latvian Gambit in chess?

ChatGPT response:

The Latvian Gambit is characterized by the following opening moves:

White moves the pawn in front of their king two squares forward, from e2 to e4. This is the pawn sacrifice that gives the opening its name.

Black responds by moving their pawn in front of their king two squares forward as well, from e7 to e5. This move is known as the "gambit pawn" because Black is offering a pawn to White in exchange for a lead in development and control of the center of the board.

White follows up with the development of their light-squared bishop, moving it from f1 to b5. This move attacks Black's gambit pawn and puts additional pressure on Black's position.

Black can respond to this move in a variety of ways, depending on their playing style and preferences. Some possible options include moving their knight from g8 to f6 (defending the gambit pawn and preparing for a counter-attack), moving their knight from b8 to c6 (developing a piece and preparing to castle), or moving their f-pawn from f7 to f5 (solidifying their control of the center of the board).

These are the moves that typically characterize the Latvian Gambit in chess. It's important to note, however, that not all games that begin with these moves will necessarily follow the same path, and the specific sequence of moves can vary depending on the choices made by the players.

PSS For the record all of the above is hilariously wrong and obvious to most chess players :) The real Latvian gambit is 1. e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 (and only f5 is sacrificing the pawn).
Broadly speaking, women typically select for monetary value because they are genetically programmed to secure resources for their offsprings. Monetary value is not necessarily correlated with intelligence, at least not all aspects of intelligence.
It’s delivering email, there is no way for the receiving site to state a certificate is required anyway. Traditionally it’s just a plaintext connection on port 25 and using and supporting STARTTLS is optional.

I suppose you could write up a way to specify this in DNS but it’d take decades to be implemented and you would have to deal with pushback from the snoops who I’m sure don’t mind they can peep into the email you receive.
That’s a very transactional view of relationships.
> Flash loans are great for arbitrageurs

My point is that traditional finance doesn't need this because there's enough cash available to arbitrageurs already, so if you somehow made flash loans, they wouldn't be used anyway. It's also unclear what legal framework would accompany them, which is again something that Ethereum can ignore.

Your last paragraph is an oft-repeated myth that using Ethereum forces transparency and interoperability between systems. But that's not true, it doesn't enforce that, I've seen my share of code trying to implement ERC20 and failing in subtle ways, and that's code trying to follow a common interface. Interoperability is hard, and you don't get by using $MAGIC_PLATFORM.

Some projects also restrict access to their smart contract because legally it's really hard to make it fully open, or put a tiny part of their system there mostly for PR reasons ("we're on the blockchain").

Reasons why data sharing etc. are a massive pain include:

* no incentive from financial institutions to improve that

* legal reasons making it hard and costly to do anyway

Ethereum is not solving these problems.

In particular:

> efficient, standard, secure

* So far it's failing at "efficient", and it can only be more efficient by getting rid of the legal aspects of financial transaction, the tech is not the problem.

* It's also failing at "secure" as evidenced by the link above.

Another counterargument to the potential of this tech is, if indeed it brought such benefits, we'd have seen more than toy projects developed in traditional finance by now, but we're mostly seeing institutions like the ASX scaling down on such experiments.
Yes, you're right, the 1½ minute video on our website is merely hardcoded data. That's because the main purpose of that video is to show that we're able to read AND write code, and able to push to AND pull from GitHub. Obviously we work with dynamic data as well, anything else would be a missed opportunity.
Do you think your 'selection criteria' are the same as other people's? I expect you've seen people who you think are perceived as attractive but are not yourself attracted to? I'm sure your 'selection criteria' are unique in many ways.

What I'm coming to is that generalizing about what any women are attracted to (value?) is unwarranted. Different people want radically different things.
Ok now put $1 in the GPT jar
In most implementations, redefining an inline function or macro just means you may have some callers using the old code. SBCL warns if you redefine an inline function but doesn’t re-compile old code. Do note that the language has a different view on the matter though.

In its list of assumptions compilers are allowed to make about the code they receive, we can see…

> The definition of a function that is defined and declared inline in the compilation environment must be the same at run time.

> Within a function named F, the compiler may (but is not required to) assume that an apparent recursive call to a function named F refers to the same definition of F, unless that function has been declared notinline. The consequences of redefining such a recursively defined function F while it is executing are undefined.

> A call within a file to a named function that is defined in the same file refers to that function, unless that function has been declared notinline. The consequences are unspecified if functions are redefined individually at run time or multiply defined in the same file.

http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/03_bbc.htm

So, technically the compiler is allowed to remove runtime function call indirection for functions defined in the same file and/or recursive calls (unless you use a NOTINLINE declaration). In practice, you probably won’t see that happen unless you crank up the optimizations when compiling.

You are right that the language explicitly allows redefining functions in general

> Except in the situations explicitly listed above, a function defined in the evaluation environment is permitted to have a different definition or a different signature at run time, and the run-time definition prevails.
Yeah, it's very rude.
Women have dualistic mating strategy (and men too, just differently): the man whose genes they want is very different from the one who they want to provide for the baby to grow up.

Of course lucky people can have both of these traits in the same men, but sexual selection is more complex than that.
It's basically "You didn't lose money because I pirated your product, I had no money to begin with".

I can relate to this, coming from a poor background. I would've never be where I stand today If I didn't have access to the published material on the internet for free.

Also, the prices of scientific papers are atrocious! And that's not even considering the fact that the researchers who wrote the paper and peer reviewed it for free won't receive a penny!

What do you expect from me when even Harvard says It's expensive?
It's not clickbait just because you made an assumption from a title and that assumption was incorrect.
Yeah that is closer to the truth.

Even just taking the argument on its surface, electronic cameras are not a match for human vision:

* our eyes have incredible dynamic range. We can perceive details in deep shadow and bright sunlight at the same time in the same scene. Cameras aren't good at that, and certainly not at a price point a company that forgoes lidar for pricing reasons would be happy with.

* our eyes combine wide angle low resolution perception with high resolution capture of a single point of interest, and switching between points of interest is super fast. No-one's even trying to replicate this electronically; the approach with digital cameras is to go for high resolution across the board, but this is nowhere near as high as what human eyes can manage in the centre of vision, and also because it results in a ton of data, SLAM applications tend to go for lower resolutions and more frequent images instead to help manage transfer and processing latency; however, this makes correctly parsing the scene a much harder problem than it would be either for the human or an electronic vision system of comparable fidelity.

* our eyes include a bunch of processing to help with feature detection and cross correlation (for depth perception) before the signal ever makes it to our brain, which helps us deal with the latency/bandwidth issues described above. This is certainly something we could attempt to replicate electronically, but, well, Tesla didn't want to pay for lidar either, so not seeing that happening tbh.

* our depth perception doesn't merely rely on cross correlating stereo vision to produce a depth field like electronic applications do. It synthesizes this with information such as the angle between our eyeballs and the shape the lens must take to bring the object of interest into focus, both of which vary depending on how far away the object of interest is. (This is part of why VR helmets make many people feel ill: they supply stereo images in perfect focus a small distance away from the eyes, and so these sources of information all disagree with each other; therefore, motion sickness.) Without some equivalent source of information - some form of electronic rangefinder, like lidar perhaps - the AI, unlike the human, is forced to rely only on cross correlating stereo images, which is problematic in a variety of tedious ways.
you compare pear and apples. CBDC is to be compared with your current saving account, whereas a debit card is how you can spend the money from that account, whether it's a saving account or a CBDC. Likely debit cards will still exist with CBDC, assuming not everyone has a smartphone.

The "advantages" of CBDC, in regard to governments, is that this is a sort of entry in a database, possibly every dollar having an "id", perfect for tracking. They will know what you bought, when, etc. Also, governments could delete that entry to remove dollar from your account. They also could simply lock that account since the CB/government issue this currency as it's not controlled anymore by your local bank. In a sense, governments already have some of these capabilities, but it's a lot of procedures to access and block the money (remember the Canadian truckers?). And at the moment, it's even harder to track the flow of money in the current system. CBDC is going to make such control much easier and faster.
These are basically the exact same use-cases I was thinking of too. This stuff is insane (in a good way)

> is it not possible in Haskell for two different libraries to introduce the same operator with different meanings, and still be used in the same program

It is possible, of course, just like it's possible for two different libraries to have a function of the same name. But it's always possible to determine statically (by looking at the import list, etc.) which of the instances the usage refers to.
I think a big part of it would broadly fall under "legal and privacy concerns", especially since Apple Silicon is proprietary hardware. They need to work out which details about the hardware they might want to keep secret, and make sure the public documentation only contains things they're happy to share to the public. They then need to make sure it's up to their standards for externally published documents, it probably has to go through a review process, be published under a certain license which needs to be written or selected, and so on and so on.
