Ok. Let me spell out explicitly what I already implied.

First, it wasn't a stupid question. How do you know some NFT trades aren't just wash trades? We don't know! It's hard to know that due to the non fungible nature of NFTs.

Second, it was not a genuine question; it was a rhetorical question with an implication that surely, surely, any NFT trades at high prices or whatnot must have been wash trades. I don't agree with this implication.

When you have non fungible assets which rarely trade, it's very difficult to establish what they're worth (or, "what they would sell for", to avoid a detour about intrinsic value).

An NFT can sit a long time in someone's wallet without any trades and it's hard to say if it would sell for $5, $5000, or not find a buyer at any price.

Likewise, an NFT can be traded multiple times at ever-higher prices and it will be difficult as an outsider to establish wether those trades are wash trades or not.

I'm saying it's difficult to establish what the market price for these NFTs is. This is an alternate way of looking at things. The original story was that some people proclaimed they determined the market price for some collections of tokens and confidently concluded that that price was zero. That's ludacrious; nobody trades anything at zero. Either the volume crashed to nothing, or the price was at some level above zero. In any case, I disagree with the premise that it's feasible to measure the market price for illiquid collections of tokens.
So would you say it's on-par with google results or even better?
Been paying for Kagi for about a year now. It’s great and worth it. As good as google for search, but with much better tools and basically zero ad spam.
I'm currently paying for Kagi. It's nice. But, so far I feel like it may only be like 2% better than Google, probably not enough to keep me long term.

A lot of times the results are better on Kagi than Google, but not by much. It makes sense they're similar since Kagi uses Google's index (among others).
I use the ChatGPT bot for matrix mainly. I've tried some other frontends that are more like ChatGPT web but I keep going back to matrix because it's just so handy. I have all my other chats in there too, through bridges.
> HTML might be succesful, but it's hardly because of following the Postel principle.

I think if webbrowsers were not lenient with HTML parsing the web would have been adopted much slower in the initial years. Also, HTML5 can be seen as a confirmation that XHTML2 with a strict parsing would not be successful. I followed the WHATWG mailing lists quite closely when that effort began. This is evidence for the applicability of Postel's law at least in the case of HTML.
There are definitely other ways to solve memory safety than the Rust approach. Check out Koka, Project Verona, Hylo and Vale.

All of those are currently at the research project stage, so Rust is really the only game in town to replace C++ at the moment.

> Is there a dark mode?

Here is Kagi's quick answer [0], where its AI "extracts and summarizes the important content from the search results including links to the source material":

"Kagi supports dark mode functionality to reduce eye strain.[1][2] Users can select between the Royal Blue or Moon Dark default themes in their appearance settings. Additionally, the Orion browser powered by Kagi includes dark mode that can be toggled on websites.[3]"

That can't be the only exception. Maybe nobody sells it premixed anymore but back in the 90s we had to mix lead additive into gasoline for vintage motorcycles.
They've also been allowed to consolidate to the point that they are too big to fail.
Every business once it gets out of its rapid growth phase seems to want to become a bank. Car companies are all about loans now, "X" is an attempt to turn social media into banking (and not the first), Google and Apple are both into payments and other financial services, and the list goes on and on.

Either the market has an endless appetite for banking or capitalism does not in the end deliver what markets want.
Love Kagi. First search engine I’ve been willing to ditch google for.
I've heard about it, signed up the other day, didn't use it. I tried it today on a medical condition that's been hard to get good info on, and while it wasn't the first hit, there was a great reference fairly high up that I didn't find on Google. I'm working on budgeting for yet another subscription as I figure kagi will be my next go-to if AI doesn't outstrip it first. And probably even then(sometimes you have to use the Dead Internet).

I think op may be referring to 'barrier pipe', which is a plastic -copper-plastic sandwich, which is designed to keep out pollutants which can diffuse through the plastic - eg. Diesel oil.

If you don't use it for underground water pipes in cities, you'll normally get complaints from homeowners about 'chemical smelling' water, particularly first thing in the morning when water has been sitting stationary in pipes all night.
While I broadly agree with the UX/HIG/design guideline issues that are common in modern software... literally none of them have anything to do with the technicals of how quickly the UI reacts to actions and renders the next state. You can have responsive UI in all of them. And all the modern ones also say "jank is bad, don't do that".

The not-insider-trading possibility:

It's possible someone was selling contracts as a hedge since the tech market has been really bad this week. A market maker was obligated to buy the contracts.

The person selling the contracts gets $22k in premium, and misses out on the pop. The market maker will absolutely exercise the contracts and profit.

(This is coming from someone who sold APPL calls expiring tomorrow for .08 at a high strike today)

Personal opinion: It's insider trading. You'd need a ton of shares to be able to sell $22k worth of contracts at a high strike unless you're doing naked options selling.
How much time do you waste wading through bad search results?

Would you pay $10/mo to fix that problem?

For me, the answer has been yes. I don't think that is true of everyone (but maybe some people can live in the free plan limits!)

I started with the free plan, made it my default search engine and then tried to measure how often I felt like I had "lost something" once my free tier was up. And yeah, having to go back to Google or DuckDuckGo felt like I lost a really good tool and was using a mediocre replacement.

I read some days back on HN that even Yandex is better than Google nowadays. And I apologoze for shilling a Russian company, but it is true! For some queries, Yandex is better than Google.

I have replaced Google completely with DDG for most searches, ChatGPT for some things, GitHub Copilot for mundane code questions, phind or code.you.com for things requiring more search, and Kagi for things requiring much more searching.

I use Google only now for nearby searches like "gas stations near me", etc.

I never really thought that this day would come. I love Kagi for being able to block Pinterest from everywhere, GeeksforGeeks, etc.
hotbot! now there's a name I haven't heard in a while! that was the first search engine I used regularly. it was the perfect place to find warcraft 2 cheats and magic the gathering deck ideas
Yeah exactly the question. I doubt there’s an objective answer, more a subjective decision society makes about what is “right”.

Personally I’m fine with saying “I give you directions but it’s on you to execute them safely”. And incurring no liability. But if I intentionally direct you over a cliff (not just negligently, but intentionally) then I have some (but not 100% — after all, you still have to operate your vehicle safely) liability.

But again I think that’s pretty subjective, like it feels “fair” but who cares about my opinion?

In my experience it's far, far better than google search. The ability to boost some domains and block others is invaluable.

But also, because you're the customer not the product, you don't have to contend with Google's ad-driven search results and their privacy violating bs. Totally worth the money.

Funny, because for ages I was running macOS on a 2011 MacBook Pro which had a version of Safari that was so old it didn't support webp. At the same time, my Amiga 3000 running AmigaDOS 3.2.2 could support webp by virtue of an operating system-wide datatype plugin for webp.

Updating the OS-wide datatype means all apps are updated, not just the browser. Why is this STILL not the case on supposedly modern OSes these days?

That is not the case in my experience. There are still plenty of C++ codebases that don't need the extra performance over something like Java or care about GC pauses.

C++ continues to be popular because it's a powerful language and can easily integrate with a ton of libraries, and most people don't care much about security.
LOL they abridged it?
I've been using Kagi for about a year now as well and have been very happy. I find that I still go back to Google when I am ready to purchase a product or find a local service. In this case, I find that I'm generally happy with the people who are paying money for search placement (either directly to Google or for hardcore SEO) and find I can get less "fly-by-night" type companies that way.
I didn't know there were words for those in other languages. I guess I'd still prefer an expressive composable model for them so that I could reason about them. At least know who is related to who in which way, rather than these enums. But I guess that is outside of the scope for Apple - they just want that short name in the UX somewhere when adding a contact.
Doesn't the use of ntfy change this (Android only, I think)? Homeserver pushes to an ntfy topic, app on phone is listening to that topic. Of course, this just moves the intermediary to ntfy but you can also host a different ntfy server which I hope element supports.
A restaurant should do this, rather than bringing out the bread first. And show how helpful/healthful it is.
I'm assuming they disallow bot use in their TOS. So they can probably offer unlimited searches that you run yourself by typing in the terms.

> How does search quality really change my life?

Ask this to someone who remembers when Google first appeared.

I am not a Kagi user, but am seriously considering it after a number of months having to dig through at least 8 results of paywalled or possibly AI-generated pages for almost every Google query; seriously, I just did a search for 'python concatenate list' on google and it was worse than I expected - the official docs weren't even on the first two pages and even the helpful Stack Overflow answers were the 5th result down - give it a go, the results are trash.

I google things at least 20 times a day, and probably so do you. I would pay for something that can cut out the bollocks - if Kagi can follow through, they'll have a customer.

You come across as a bit of a dick, but I do think you have a solid point. I'm glad you didn't get flagged.

Someone else mentioned food stamps being 'this way' and I wanted to add an anecdote of my own.

At one point in my life, I worked as mini-mart clerk. I was broke but not concerned about it enough to get benefits. I saw tons of people come in with EBT cards and buy products with minimal nutritional value, stuff that seemed like a 'splurge' to me. I was buying bags of potatoes supplemented with vegetables and crap cuts of meat. I still don't understand it. My dollar just went so much further with bags of produce that I couldn't understand why people kept at it.

To this day, I don't know why they don't swap SNAP for some sort of government run food pantry that has bags of rice, potatoes, low tier cheese, frozen meat, frozen vegetables and basic hygiene supplies etc. Hell, put it on the open market. Government owns and operates the properties, supply is a low bid contract, but the winner gets a couple of years of guaranteed volume purchases assuming basic quality checks are passed.

Not a great selection, but subsidized, solid nutrition, guaranteed availability etc. Your SNAP bucks are only redeemable on prem. and a portion of your balance can be spent for delivery once per week? You want crap calories or variety of diet, then you earn it yourself, but the basics are always covered.

I'd vote for that and happily spend my tax dollars on it. I'd also be happy to rely on it if things ever came back to that.
Not GP, but from my end- a big yes! Also better than DDG, which is better than Google nowadays. I also use phind and code.you.com.
It's definitely never been easier and more free to tinker and write code than now. Cool times.
Yes, even multiple themes. You can choose between detection of the system preference, light and dark mode. The setting is bound to your account, which I like, but I don't search much on my phone outdoors.
This is going to get me to try Kagi.

I've thought about it several times, enough that I did track my searches for a week. Between work, hobbies, and just life I searched (overwhelmingly DDG and Bing) over a thousand times in a week. (A evening of prep for my tabletop RPG racked up over a hundred all by itself.)

I've bailed on Google - wading though the flood of SEO'd garbage just stopped being worth it. Bing and DDG have been mostly working, but I definitely feel like they're missing something. $10 a month is definitely worth it to try it out, and if it works for me, worth it to keep paying. I'd been hesitating because worrying about my search count seemed like a substantial negative for me.
It's not a question of you, it's a question of their obligations under law and nothing you are saying is responsive to that. They are on notice that they were creating a hazard by sending drivers over a collapsed bridge and they did nothing about it. It's prima facie negligence. You don't really seem to have any idea what you are talking about, and your arguments aren't responsive to the allegations the plaintiff made. See my other posts.
> "In a few months from now, the last diesel-powered Volvo car will have been built, making Volvo Cars one of the first legacy car makers to take this step," the Swedish company said in a statement.

> In August 33% of Volvo's sales were fully-electric or hybrid models. The company did not break out how many of the remaining 67% combustion-engine models were diesel and how many ran on petrol.

> Diesel vehicles comprised more than 50% of Europe's new car sales in 2015, but accounted for just over 14% of sales in July.

Delightfully, we are almost at the combustion->EV tipping point.

You're right. I can't think of any reason to use my own voice.

Isn't that a false dichotomy? I think there's more possibilities than either walking out of the theater in the middle of your son's first movie and tell to the press how he's still far from being ready to make films, or treating your son like a 5 year old.
Of course, it connects over usb. It works on windows as well (the easiest way to install the drivers is to install iTunes).
The cartels are involved with things other than drugs, too. It's also pretty laughable to think that even if the US "demand for drugs" evaporated overnight the cartels would just throw up their hands and say "guess we have to go legit now!".
There's an association between ALS and programmers:

See 10.1093/AJE/KWI343

https://sci-hub.se/10.1093/AJE/KWI343
If A then B does not imply If B then A

But, "If A then B" & "B" together do create a signal for A. The strength of that signal is dependent on the statistics involved.

In this context, A is a bad boss and B is getting an MBA.

Relevant statistics would be the distribution of degrees among bad bosses, the frequency of good boss vs bad boss, the proportion of degree holders that are bad bosses, etc

There is a valid signal, the question is how strong it actually is and how much it is overplayed.

This is an incredibly widespread issue when generalized beyond MBAs and bad bosses. I think people fall into roughly 4 stages with it:

1) people do not know its a logical fallacy to begin with, and treat the signal as a full on implication

2) people learn of the fallacy and think the technicality of it as a fallacy means the signal cannot exist at all

3) people acknowledge the signal exists but dont know how to influence their opinion with it

And 4) people try to understand the statistics involved in each instance to form a personal intuition on the signal strength

Imo I feel like the large majority of people are 1 (hence widespread stigmas that are overplayed) and then the large majority of anyone who isn't a 1 is a 2 and a smart-ass (meaning the 2s are not convincing the 1s to change). 3 is probably where most thinkers end up on most subjects, and 4 is very tedious to keep up with and has questionable reward value for doing so.

I've seen someone do the math on working out the probability for A|B when If A then B for some chosen example, but unfortunately I don't have the reference. Would be cool to see again.

To give a simple example though, assume A is English is the primary language someone knows and B is a preference for speaking and writing in English. If someone only knows English it follows they will speak and write in English. If someone speaks and writes in English, it does not follow that English is the only language they know.

If you see someone speaking and writing in english, there is obviously some signal there that they might only know English.

That signal changes depending on the % of English speakers who know a second language. And in fact, if 0% of English speakers spoke another language then suddenly If B then A does become a true statement.

I really wish I could instill this insight into everyone on Earth tbh. Misunderstanding that signal causes so many problems
