I've been driving a Chevy Bolt EV for almost 6 years now. I have the great luxury of a garage with solar panels on the roof and 240v service, so charging is fast, almost free, and very low effort. I've never been happier with a car, but I can see how someone without easy access to high voltage charging (e.g., in an apartment) would have a much less satisfactory experience.
> I guess this pricing isn't meant to countries outside of the US.

Their issue is, that they pay the same to Google and Microsoft, no matter where the user searches from :/
This is a really gross reason to just unilaterally cut off all of its Linux user customers. I'm sure WINE has bread crumbs of its own that they can check for when sending telemetry...
A similar idea in a group setting is the fist-to-five idea suggested by Marquet. On the count of three, everyone shows either a closed hand (lowest score) or anything up to five fingers (highest score) and then you can discuss both what would get people to a 5, but it's usually also very instructive to dig into why different people make different assessments. (As long as you don't do it in an adversarial way, of course.)

Yeah, I similarly felt like I did a lot of searches every day... and if I had estimated my search usage I would have said easily thousands a month. But I'm also actually in the 600–800 range it turns out.

That said, I think Kagi should consider rethinking their pricing model, because the perception is what matters if it presents as a roadblock.

It's not a trick to use XOR to swap variables. XOR is a code pessimization. You should be using std::swap or just use a temporary which generates proper machine code. Most instruction sets have exchange which is 1 instruction.

I guess that answers your question. You can swap two integers on x86. See the xchg instruction.

This phys.org article says:

> Moths are more efficient pollinators than bees, oh and bramble is important.

The underlying paper is an easy enough read that you probably don't need phys.org: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

It says:

- Many different species rely on bramble [e.g. raspberry, blackberry, etc...]

- Bramble fruits can grow twice as large if the flower was visited by multiple insects, which improves bramble's ability to support its many species

- Moths are an outsized contributor to the pollination of bramble, and therefore to supporting those many species

- So conservation efforts should focus on things that uniquely help moths, like limiting light pollution

Given the prevalence of pollinators that are hyper specialized to what they pollinate, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that general purpose pollinator efficiency is both a useless metric, and not what was studied here.
I guess some people are just built different. I could never :'( .
> The other side to this is - don't ask for feedback if you don't plan to action any of it.

It's fine to ask for feedback without planning to do anything about it. Balancing the feedback of multiple people means sometimes not every opinion can be accounted for.

I've tried Kagi as primary search for a few months and used DDG as primary for a long time before that. Recently I default to using phind.com. Don't think they'll be able to stay free forever, but as it is the mix of free access to GPT-4 and the focus on being developer-friendly makes it feel much better than alternatives (perplexity.ai being the closest competitor, but not feeling quite right for me).

First of all, being in a managerial role is usually not enjoyable (expect manipulative antics). Here are a few styles/philosophies on how to accomplish a profitable department:

1. The Dictator: Follow orders, report regularly, or you are fired. If productivity under-performs, than do fire someone in case people forget who is in charge

2. The Coach: How do we win as a team, who has the best skill/will to take on the big challenges, and if individuals bring down our team they are fired

3. The Cult leader: Listen to the customer, how can we serve the customer better, how can we indoctrinate our brand into people lives, and if you violate our doctrine you are fired

4. The Con/Sociopath: Make money at any PR cost, scam the consumer/shareholders/departments, and if you won't break ethical norms you are fired

5. The Masochist: How should I manage the team, what should we be focused on, why are we burning budget and still failing, you are victimizing me with costs, so we had to cut costs and you are fired

6. The Idealist: An irrational infatuation with the impossible makes all other features irrelevant, and everyone still gets fired when the budget expires

Depending what the company does, each role’s style has its strengths and weaknesses.

Have a wonderful day =)
Which is the equivalent amount of engineering work to just bypassing sending telemetry on WINE if WINE is detected. Instead, they go out of their way to detect WINE, but then intentional block it, rather than just bypassing telemetry upon detection. Someone at Roblox has an axe to grind.
You’re fundamentally misunderstanding the point of app review. It isn’t to enforce that the platform sandbox works; the assumption is that it does. The review process is there to catch abuses that happen inside of the sandbox. This is things like asking for location access and actually using it to let people spy on you, or creating IAPs that are scams, or falsely claiming you’re affiliated with someone else and providing services that are not genuine. This is not a security problem but a quality problem.
I don't want incentives for ads-criminals and SEO spam :( I want the search engine to help me find high quality pages, not piles of crap.
Sites like DDG explicitly require opting out of the 'Google economy' which is going to bias their userbase disproportionately towards higher information users. I can even give a specific example how this changes things. In March 2022 DDG decided to start downranking "Russian disinformation." You might reasonably claim that the average response to this would be no worse than neutral.

But the impact on DDG? You can see the results on their traffic here [1]. I have to use an archive link because they removed public reporting of traffic figures shortly thereafter. The graph there defaults to display traffic averaged out over 365 days, but the day figure (on the top left of the graph) is configurable, since the data is (somewhat oddly) all client-side. Change it to something like a 7 day average to actually be able to see what happened.

Basically smaller sites are serving different demographics. That's precisely how they succeed. And this is also where a lot of their word of mouth comes from, which is going to be a major factor in their growth. Take your users for granted, and you risk losing not only them - but also the growth they would have provided you with. You even risk getting the opposite - of negative word of mouth. In any case, it's a sure path to rapid decline for any smaller company.

It’s probably not really necessary given the poor quality of review.
This title is absurd and there is no support for it I the article. How would you even prove such a thing?

Here is the evidence suggested:

> So, Sony devised a strategy to sneak up on the market leaders.
>
> The Alpha 7 camera, the first full-frame Sony mirrorless to be released, could capture beautiful photos, but it just wasn’t very good at autofocus.

Later they go on to say that they don’t have a lot of lenses in their lineup either.

So the take away from this is that Sony deliberately crippled their camera to trick Canon and Nikon? They had the technology ready to go, they just decided to sit on it because they didn’t feel like Canon and Nikon were being competitive enough?

This sounds like a very silly spin on the basic realities of developing and launching new products.
Another 50 year old here. Counting down the days to Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom comes out, playing Horizon Burning Shores in the meantime, having just finished Fallout 4, Witcher 3, and Last Of Us 2 before that.

I tend to prefer games with story (and like puzzles so I guess I fit that oldie category), but play Mario Kart, Just Dance etc. regularly with one of my children, and I still play around creating retro 8-bit style arcade and adventure games too.

I find gaming and coding to be a way to unwind, my other half works late sometimes and I prefer it to being stuck in front of a television, but I'll take social time over it anytime. Somehow I still find time for reading and working on writing a new novel too.

DDG does not have a search engine, they have a frontend UI to Bing. Search API pricing from Microsoft is going up, so they either have to cut the complexity of queries or just not be in business.
Interesting paper, thanks for bringing this up! I have been working on methods for trajectory optimization using both, analytic gradient computations and black box stochastic gradient approximations (proximal policy optimization).

I was always wondering about a question that is touched in the paper: despite the analytic gradient computation being intuitively more efficient and mathematically correct, it is much harder to learn a policy with it than with the “brute force trial-and-error” black box methods.

This paper brings many new perspectives on why.
> But it probably won't make you better at tests of cognitive capacity

How do you test «cognitive capacity»? The other day on these pages a newcomer came and wrote he "distrusts them <category>". Some call ignorance relevant to "cognitive capacity".

(Some call it "much more than just relevant".)
Random guess: maybe because people see that all submissions are self promotion and they flag it?
Yeah, "Cognitive Advantages" is such a poor proxy for measuring a more enriched world view / life.

Let's say I live in a country of 3-4 million native language speakers, with next to zero speakers of my language internationally. Teaching a kid English at an early age opens them up to experiencing so much more than whatever happens to get produced / translated into my native lounge. When it comes to consuming information, would you rather your child was a great white shark or a bottom feeder?

Knowledge is a ladder, whose benefits compound over time, the end result is expertise. Also, understanding people from different nations is a good defence against parochialism, thinking that your people have al the answers.
>and not been able to find any concrete evidence to support the existence of any other "Windows subsystem for X" subsystems.

They were originally known as Microsoft Subsystems[1][2] and encompassed Win32, POSIX, and OS/2.

This was followed by Windows Services for UNIX along with the demise of POSIX and OS/2 subsystems, which was subsequently succeeded by Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Yes, this means Win32 is to this day a subsystem of Windows NT.

Do they support any such payment methods? Only Monero and cash come to mind.
Brave Search is the best one I've used so far. Super clean search results, really helpful widgets and independently indexed unlike DDG.
What does areligiosity give you anyway. A lever to mock the religious, I guess, maybe you can feel good for a few minutes feeling superior to people who believe in imaginary beings etc etc.

When one has trouble, what does areligiosity give you. Some drab nonsense about being nice to others or whatever the fuck. Might as well listen to some illiterate loon for guidance when you're in trouble. The loon will provide better insights.

Thousands of years of moral tradition spanning civilizations? Forget it, too many make belief characters. I bet there were thousands of civilizations over history that gave up religion. And they all collapsed from the black hole its lack leaves the human soul.
> It's a different risk: if your novel DVD player did not work, you could just watch something else.

Also, you could (and nearly everyone did) add a DVD player to your stack but keep the VCR so you had both.

Sure, the same is possible with cars, but gets several orders of magnitude more expensive to have multiple cars so it's not practical for many people.
> Solar in Virginia (not particularly sunny).

I work with solar, not directly but we turn investor money into solar plants, and part of that is getting the most money out of them as possible. The amount of sun obviously matters, but the temperature matters more. The hotter it gets the less efficient the solarpanels become at generating electricty.

The efficiency starts dropping by around 0.5% for every degree celcius above 25 degrees celcius. In hotter climates, you can build solarplants differently, similarly to the one in that james bond movie I believe, not too sure as we don't do that, and I'm obviously not into the engineering part. I mean, I've read the manual of some solarinverters, but that was to get data out of them. Aside from that, solarplanes do actually generate power on cloudy days, not as much, but the only thing that really stop them is snow. The coolest thing about solar, is that it's very predictable. We can basically forecast our budgets for decades to come, because we know exactly how much energy we're going to be producing each month, and with the advances in storage, you'll soon be capable of storing excess power for nights.

Anyway, areas with 10-35 degree celcius are often better suited for solar power than hotter areas with more sun. That's not to say you shouldn't build solar in hot areas, but if you're planning where to put your solar powered factory down, you're likely going to take that into account. Along with a range of other things. I'd wager that logistics and taxes were more important for Lego.
It says something about the power of YouTube that Russian government still did not ban it, but it banned Facebook and Instagram. I suspect that banning YouTube might be dangerous to the putin regime.
I would guess that the sounds animals make are highly context-dependent in a multimodal fashion. We will likely be able to detect some correlations, but decoding larger vocabulary seems unlikely.
If they have the ability to detect wine usage wouldn't they have the ability to conditionally disable telemetry for wine though?
As others have mentioned, it's frustrating to use a non-OpenAI model and to be told "I'm sorry, as an AI...", as it represents a reimplementation of someone else's censorship.

There are approaches such as Dolly to develop a non-openAI RHLF feedback set but it's hard to compete against ShareGPT and co.

I don't agree at all. Short of legitimate, open malice, this type of behavior is pretty much never warranted.
Human life took a long time to evolve.

In one lifetime you've seen computers jump dramatically in power. By the end of your life, I suspect that you'll see computers that may scare you.

But to answer your question, it's the digital data and files to look to, not the hardware. We have files floating around from the 60's today, and we're picking up more and more fidelity with which we can represent the world every year. That won't stop.
> (I won't bother explaining the retrospective idiocy of that.)

Good, because people have done actual surveys to show there's no real decrease in bugs, and development time suffers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.11115

It's a trade off like anything else, Python has a lot of scientists who probably love not having to specify types everywhere. Python's best advantage is ease of development - Rust is in _no way_ an alternative in that department. Go would be a better choice.

It's biggest issue imo is it's slow, but since people aren't rushing to use mypy and friends, perhaps that's not important for most users. And it's had types for ages if you want them.
That's an interesting angle, and barring explicit clarification from OpenAI, it'd be possible to see 'ChatGPT' either as an 'OpenAI API' (in a very general sense), or as not the same thing they mean by 'OpenAI API'.

However, I do see a help page (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is...) that specifically identifies ChatGPT & DALL-E as examples of "non-API consumer services", confirming your interpretation.

(It's nice that they let even users of those services opt-out of such reuse – if you trust their processes & assurances.)

As OpenAI also offers a 'ChatGPT API', separate in entry-point & billing from the consumer-facing subscription (or free offering), it's a bit unclear what retention/retraining rules they intend to apply to that. And, unclear whether this 'Incognito ChatGPT' is actually backed by the "non-API consumer service" web-brwoser interface, or the 'ChatGPT API'.
"bold assumption" says the guy who assumes $2 worth of energy spent on AI generated text for every single written word by humans.

This is what has been holding me back from trying out Kagi. I will probably jump over to Kagi at some point because I've noticed the quality of DDG searches going downhill as well. However, I'm firmly in Kagi's idea of 1% of Internet users. I search for anything at the drop of a hat. I just checked my history in Firefox for duckduckgo.com for "This Month" and it came back with 704 individual searches (DDG likes to add on a =web and generate a new request so I filtered for just those). My phone is an island all on its own, and I probably have another 100-150 searches on there. March and February are right around the same numbers. For fun'sies lets just say 1000 searches per month. $10/month for the 700 searches plan + 300 * 0.015 for the overages = $14.50/month.

Unlike the other comments down-thread, this number feels right. I don't like it, and my gut doesn't want to accept this. If you're not harvesting user data and/or selling ads, and the monthly subscriptions are the only source of revenue then $14.50/month sounds right.

I'm still riding this fun'sies train so lets just kick some numbers around. I suspect their FAQ might be a little out of date, but lets go with it. https://kagi.com/faq says that, "it costs us about $1 to process 80 searches". 1000 searches / 80 = $12.50, so they make $2 per month from me. I hope that 80 searches for $1 covers all of their OpEx. If it doesn't, then that $2 per month gets a bit more sad. https://blog.kagi.com/status-update-first-three-months states that, "Kagi search is currently serving ~2,600 paid customers." from September 1st last year. Let's say they've grown 10x since then and we're at 26,000 paying customers and they're all me. $52,000 in profit on $377,000 per month in revenue. So they're clearing $624,000 a year on this totally hypothetical scenario.

Is https://moneyconnexion.com/per-second-earnings-of-top-compan... accurate? Who knows. If it is accurate, it takes Google just shy of 15 minutes to make that same $624,000.

Mostly this is just me thinking out loud. Like I said, I'm trying to wrap my head around this pricing.
Your comment makes me incredibly angry. You bring up the point that people put important information on their phones, ‘lapcat points out that people use their computers for the exact same things, and you have the audacity to tell him that people shouldn’t be doing this? There’s a lot that can be done to help improve the security story on both phones and desktop computers but if your position stems from “people should not be using computers to do computer things” you are divorced from reality and should seriously reconsider any views you’ve built on top of that premise.
I've had my bacon saved more than enough times by integrated graphics that I consider it downright heresy to call them a waste.
There's a vast amount of automatically translated websites, which IMO fall into this category.

Some product comparison websites also seem to be built based on automatic sentence generation from tables with specs.

It's not the same as buzzfeed style content farming but it was a sign of the things to come.
Someone’s success in business doesn’t mean they’re a reliable source or information. You also have no reason to suspect they wouldn’t be motivated to lie. Even if they weren’t, there’s no reason to assume they had sufficient information in the situation to understand what actually happened.

One thing that stands out to me: if my best friend died like this, I would have absolutely no desire to spread this information about them after their death.
Then it would be better take the professional plan including 700 searches for 10$/mo.
