> and that's with them knowing (or at least having that information available) that there are no live sessions of that account (the whole browser in private mode thing).

Unless you explicitly logged out, they likely to see the opposite picture, i.e. numerous "valid" sessions (as opposed to active) that haven't been used for varying lengths of time because you logged in, but from their perspective, you never logged out. You just cleared your cookies which means the session is still "valid", even if it's inaccessible to you because the session cookies have been cleared from your device.

I don't know if they take any of this into account but as you've pointed out, assuming that the rightful owner of the account must have access to a different session is a huge assumption to make.
DuckDuckGo has generative search now too. Both in LLM chat form and in a beta results box at the top of the results called DuckAssist.
This is a great idea! If the open sources licenses could be changed (if that's even possible!) such that only the original authors or their designees can create these signatures/attestations, then:

... If Google really wanted to ship bash (or whatever) with the certs/attestation, they'd have to cough up enough money to make the developer(s) happy. If they don't Google is out of luck, they cannot sign it themselves. So it becomes a tradeoff of how much money the original developer(s) want vs how valuable it is and/or how much it would cost Google to build their own (and thus be able to sign/attest it) if the original developers got too greedy.

AKA a free market software economy!

If you're using new hardware it's a crap shoot unless you get a machine ready for linux or you do a bunch of research on hardware that has known hardware support for linux. It's always been this way, although the situation has gotten better over the years.
In the past few years, I’ve noticed google search results are mostly useless.

I’m adept at using quotes and “+” and “-“ for keywords on queries. For about 20 years, if something existed, I could find it easily.

What amazes me now is not so much the sponsored/SEO crap listings at the top — it is there is nothing else as one works their way to the “bottom”.

Too often, things that should be easy to find just don’t show up. I feel like they have entirely given up on indexing.

It’s a sad state of affairs when Bing does better…
I think the law they're drawing is that a fad passes on and there is 0 remnant, whereas a bubble pops and leaves the "true", uninflated value behind.
There is a certain type of search query I no longer use Google for, but I think that is probably the least common type of query Google handles. Directory searches, weather, sports scores, news, showtimes and shopping make up the bulk of Google searches, and AI chat seems to offer no to negative benefit for these types of searches. Maybe once there is reliable AI agents that will change, but the data seems to show AI is not eating into Google search market share.
Consider SQLite (2021)
Corporate Web is SEO Ad hell but it's got nothing on the future that awaits us.

Let me present AI Ad tech 2030

All commercial websites contain meta tags with vector embedding links. Vector embedding services are standard offerings in the big Cloud. Everyone selling something uses them.

All commercial LLM products consume meta data and RAG the global vector embedding index. LLM-SEO is big business as companies fight to game the LLMs with their content.

Generative AI Ad tech inserts Ads into relevant LLM output and is trained on the conversion success of successful Link follows and subsequent purchasing decisions.

May I present Alpha-Ad.

It's on the way folks.
>If I own some data, then I get to dictate the terms of how that data is used. Period.

What if you got that data from me/users and I/we claim the same rights (like GDPR for example)? Will you still honour ownership as above?
With Lenovo it could be either. Thinkpads have historically worked pretty well with Linux. The more consumer oriented stuff can be hit or miss. Generally the more newfangled features (dual screens, detachability, extra eink displays, etc.), the worse the support. Thinkpads also tend to last longer, so there’s more time for driver support to catch up before they’re broken or obsolete.
Are you talking about a prompt like this[1]? If so, there should be a poorly named "more options" or "don't have your phone?" link that gives you the option to enter your TOTP code instead.

Kagi users with the Ultimate plan can access most of the major LLMs via the !chat bang too (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, and Mistral). Regular plans have access to the cheaper models only. Then there’s the FastGPT that runs when the search query contains a question mark

Really makes it easy to use when it’s all accessed from the address bar.
The Vision Pro straps completely around the head and weighs more than many bicycle helmets. Where's the exaggeration?

The comment you were replying to said "without the content _to make it shine_". The implication here is that being able to do the things you can already do, except with a large set of goggles on your head, is not a sufficient selling point for the product. Apple clearly wants to sell the Vision Pro as a new way of computing, not as an entertainment product. Microsoft felt the same way about Windows 95, I'm sure, but that didn't stop them from including content meant to convince people that their new expensive "multimedia PC" was worth the investment.
I was an Internet user back then. Idiots existed back then as well.
Huh, it instantly clicked for me that haiku would be smaller and more constrained than a sonnet which is shorter and more constrained than an opus, but they all mean they can be as impactful as an art.

I can see how those aren’t as common words though.
I've tried many Linux flavours and some BSDs. In the end I've always come back to Xfce. I haven't tried the more recent Kubuntu's though, but put it off thinking I'd migrate away from a Canonical managed OS.
I spent my primary education in Texas and got the heck out for college, for the opportunity available and the life experience, not because of any politics.
At some point, I lost my use of “y’all” in my day to day lexicon. It is one of the few things I miss in a sort of lost innocence of youth way.
That's pretty much the ideal use case for LLMs, as a tool for creative brainstorming where the question of accuracy is irrelevant. I've used them like that frequently for help in writing/worldbuilding.

But I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of Google searches are looking for factual information of some kind. I can see LLMs as an interface on top of search, but not replacing it.
Yeah, but nowadays with GPT new forms can be generated fairly quickly.
They use snap more and more with each release. It's why I switched over to Pop OS. I like flatpak since it's not baked into the distro. I don't mind if sometimes a theme or something doesn't the system one. I'm not one of those types who is "shocked" and "jarred" by gui differences.
Brutalism is beautiful
As an analogy, imagine that a gardener builds a beautiful flower garden, bisected by a cute stone path, which she invites the public to view freely, save for a single restriction; a sign reading "keep off the flower beds."

There is a well-understood social contract here. I should not drive my car along the path, even if don't crush the flowers. I shouldn't walk on the flower beds, even if that sign isn't legally enforceable. And if a runaway lawnmower, RC car, or some other machine of mine does end up in the garden, I am responsible, because it was my machine.

With websites, there is even a TOS specifically for scrapers - robots.txt. The fact that it is easy to bypass or ignore is no excuse for actually bypassing or ignoring it.

The anonymity of the Internet functions as a ring of Gyges, where since people don't face consequences (even social ones), they feel entitled to do as they will. However, just because you can do something does not mean you have a right to do something.

If you've read anything by him before, you will already have a sense of what he writes in this opinion piece.

Huh? Literally millions of people worldwide have replaced their ICE vehicles with EVs. Granted, there are some use cases where ICE is the better choice, but no one is seriously suggesting that EVs will replace ICE 100 percent.
Texas is a flyover state in denial.
I'm leaning this direction as it would allow me to get a ground-up familiarity with certain stacks and technologies, whereas with open source at the outset I never know where to look or what to prioritize. It's obtuse. You have to sift through an overwhelming number of projects, most of which I have little interest in, then look at issues for bugs or features with no context.
I also want to add;
It's not like selling a physical product. Digital products usually need to be edited to fit your design. Person A still paid because they will always have customers who like their style & creations. We are not creating and sharing "Kitbash or Evermotion" level assets. These works require thousands of work hours and it's impossible to live sharing them free.
>Personally, if I lived in Texas, I wouldn’t move either. I’d just get on a cheap flight out of state and get the abortion.

They're trying to make that illegal too. They've already made it law in a couple of states (and are in a court case on whether it's constitutional), IIRC.

And if you can't afford a plane ticket then anyone who provides financial assistance or provides transportation themselves for the express purpose of getting an abortion, well they're accessories to the abortion too.
That's with ESM, which is only free for up to 5 machines, IIRC.
Texas is a flyover state in denial
The star is just 1470 light years from our solar system. So, either a huge coincidence occurred, or there are many stars like this in the Milky Way. In the latter case, you are proposing that every one of the alien civilizations that built each of these things had the same motivational inhibition to colonization. Even more, you are proposing that all such civilizations in the past, and all such civilizations in other galaxies, were similarly inhibited.

A star-spanning civilization would have far more than enough energy to propel interstellar vehicles, for example by laser beaming.
If your business is just that you have a bundle of information and expose it over an open website, I’m not really sure how you’re able to maintain a mentality that you are somehow entitled to ownership of that information. You already put it out there, it’s now public, any illusion to exclusivity is now gone because anyone could come along at any time and make a copy without your knowledge. A moral position on this issue is even more confusing to me. Do you think that you e.g. own the knowledge on which radio frequencies are used where? Do you think you have a moral claim on ownership of (presumably unpaid) user-submitted information? I think the only legitimate moral grievance you have is high traffic volumes from inconsiderate scrapers.
If someone in my home is daily screaming at me, shitting on the floor, stealing things and threatening children - they're going. Roommate, relative, doesn't matter. They're out, or I am.

Someone's claim to live in a good community ends when they start actively destroying that community day after day. You get the community you work to build; you don't get to live in my wonderful community every day while you daily do horrifying things to ruin it.

This is the only way good communities can exist.
No. People used to be able to trade their freedom for shelter and food as well. Are you saying that practice should've continued as well? Privacy is a human right and it cannot be exchanged for goods and services.
The technologies within our reach which would be very helpful with building massive space stations are such that they would very much allow for getting to the nearest star within a human lifetime.

The only reason we don't actually reach out for those technologies right now is that many of us have a religious fear of anything nuclear.
Not sure how much immigration is really needed; due to improvements in healthcare, working conditions, and machinery, the length of time for which people are able to stay in active work and contribute positively to the economy is increasing at a comparable rate.
France has a higher proportion of young people, and yet lower immigration. Why? Could it be that the decision to have children is correlated with population density?
Not just logic puzzles but also applying information, and, yes, I tried a few things.

People/humans tend to be pretty poor, too (training can help, though), as it isn't easy to really think through and solve things - we don't have a general recipe to follow there and neither do LLMs it seems (otherwise it shouldn't fail).

What I am getting at is that as far as a reasoning machine is concerned, I'd want it to be like a pocket calculator is for arithmetic, i.e., it doesn't fail other than in some rare exceptions - and not inheriting human weaknesses there.
Sure, I think ADAS simply existing is responsible for encouraging inattentive driving. I don’t have a solution for this, though, since almost every automaker has some form of ADAS available now.

Many of us are developers or in the line of work. We should know first-hand how difficult it is to guide end-user behavior.
Does anyone know if desktop scaling on Wayland is fixed now?

US's power grid continues to lower emissions–everything else, not so much
Sorry the use of "peak" in the article and my comment implies a reduction right after (not a plateau):

> “We find there is a 70% chance that emissions start falling in 2024 if current clean technology growth trends continue and some progress is made to cut non-CO2 emissions,” authors wrote. “This would make 2023 the year of peak emissions.”
Interesting, the 82% does make more sense then.

98% effective use per year twice as bad as my 99.9% monthly example though. That's one pregnancy every 50 years, or 1 pregnancy every 5 years for each 10 women.

The Effective 82%... honestly it's so scary, that's 1 unwanted pregnancy every ~5.5 years.
Nuclear energy isn't needed for interstellar travel. Beamed propulsion would likely be faster.

Nominally in Canada it is for three things:

- deterrence

- rehabilitation

- protection of society

For deterrence, I think it does a decent job for most of the popularion. Without elaborating too much, there are several things in the Canadian Criminal Code that are illegal but that I personally believe have no moral or ethical guilt associated with them and are also victimless. Some of them are things I would love to be able to do, but I don’t because I have zero desire to spend any time in jail. This doesn’t necessarily apply to people who are habitual offenders though.

On the protection of society side of things, yeah, we have a bunch of people who are going to be in jail for a long long time and really shouldn’t be part of the general population. We also have a bunch of low-level habitual offenders who are basically “catch and release” and they continue to go around stealing bicycles and sunglasses to feed their meth addictions.

And then there’s rehabilitation… which… wow. Not really doing so great on that front.
Robots.txt is definitely not any kind of ToS - some people (Google) said they will respect it. No reason to expect people even knowing about the concept - practically nobody knows about it, not even most developers.

And again - there are countries where any ToS without explicit signature or other kind of legal agreement don't apply at all.

Just like writing "by using the toilet you agree to transfer your soul for infinity" on a piece of toilet paper taped somewhere in the vicinity of a toilet gives you nothing - even if it was a more reasonable contract, nobody agreed to anything.

As for your other point, I think this is more like standing next to a highway with a sign that reads "don't drive cars here" and expecting people to stop and turn around. They didn't even see your sign at their speed and it's kinda unreasonable to expect they would be checking for that kind of a sign on a highway. At least make it properly - big, red, reflective (e.g. a Connection Reset, or at least 403 Forbidden).
Regarding the cookie selection. It blows my mind why isn't this a setting at the browser level instead. Even with the "do not track" turned on, we still get these permission popups everywhere.
> a large number of California’s African American population consists of descendants of the Second Great Migration from the South

Yep!! And a lot of Californians who trace their ancestry to that migration were from Texas and Louisiana due to the Greyhound line.
Most of them are outdated and not open sourced so can't really update to fix there! As per comments on chrome store
Pop rivets loosen, loosen in a way that cannot be tightened. They should use engineered bolts/nuts secured with locktite. If those do slip, they can re-tightened. Pop rivets must be cut off and replaced. You won't see pop rivets on any other cars, not since the 1940s. ("Blind" rivet are different than pop rivets)

If they are pop-riveting, then I assume they are doing this on the cheap and are also not treating/protecting the metal. They are probably just drilling through without worry about future corrosion issues.
> With paid AI services, providing better answers faster IS the profit model

I hope this is the case, but aren’t today’s paid services all heavily subsidized by investment dollars, and brand new, and being used to find traction and validate MVPs? I suspect today’s prices and today’s business model isn’t sustainable.

What hope is there that AI won’t end up being much better and more clever at inserting ads in between captive audiences and the things they’re looking for than Google currently is? I get the feeling advertisers are salivating over all the new possible ways AI can sell things, way more than us consumers are excited about having search without ads…

I wish everyone wanted to pay for services with money rather than attention, but that’s a small minority of people for any given service, and we are totally hooked on a whole lot of free stuff. Ad-driven business models haven’t been declining, they’ve been growing, we seem to be stuck with them for the time being.
Super determinism gets around the "problem" of Bell's inequality experiments by saying that the choices of experiment settings chosen by the experimenters are correlated with things we usually wouldn't expect them to be correlated with (like the system being measured).

This makes it really hard to do physics because we usually assume you can choose to measure whatever the hell you want independent of the state of the system.

Say we have some toy physical system which changes color reguarly, for 10 seconds it's red and for the next 10 seconds it's green and so on. We assume that we'll be able to gain physical understanding of such thing by measuring it whenever we like, but in a superdeterministic universe our choice to do the experiment can be correlated with the system, so we might be "forced" to only measure it when it happens to be red. We'll only ever see it be red and we will end up framing an incorrect "law of physics" that says the thing is red.
It depends. Desktop? Everything works fine. Laptop? Then it's better to check the parts and also to avoid laptops with Nvidia stuff.
Antibiotics can be really awful for your body. So many very important things are done for us by our bacterial microbiome but some doctors give out these dangerous medications like candy even for viral infections with no indication of secondary bacterial infections. [0]

The body is like a hotel for bacteria. Under good conditions the rooms are filled with bacteria that don't harm us and may provide useful services. But take a broad spectrum antibiotic and suddenly all the rooms are empty and ready for colonization by nasty bugs like C. diff.

Antibiotics have also been a wonderful invention for preventing death but they should be used much more sparingly in humans and much more sparingly for agriculture.
