There's a thin line between trusting and gullible, and the difference may be hard to perceive for outsiders.

Trusting and gullible alike also means easily exploitable, especially when coupled with hospitality which (believe it or not!) is, or at least was, a core value in DK. This whole line of reasoning has been very visible for the average Dane throughout the past 3-4 decades, as non-Danes have aquired larger shares of the general residency.

The general rule of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" has not really been observed at all by a significant fraction of those visiting or relocating to the country. And the Danes do notice that, although a fraction of the populace choose to wear the rosy-coloured glasses at all costs because principle, culture, tradition (culture matters a lot in DK, the culture is fairly conservative even though most Danes will deny that they themselves are).

The "trust" that non-Danish media likes to herald now is just a shadow of what it was, and it is steadily albeit slowly on the decline - especially in Dane-foreigner relationships IMHO.

If you dislike the facts, feel free to dismiss this as anecdata.

I would not assume that. You could equally well assume that:

1) There are diminishing returns on investment, as we go further out. We'd need to go exponentially further out to get useful information.

2) The sensors on the craft are old, and modern methods can tell us more from far away then ancient sensors from deep space.

... and so on. I'm not going to argue about which assumption is best, because intuitions will differ. I was hoping to get a concrete answer from someone who might know rather than was speculating.

Ergo, the question.

I was hoping for an answer of the form "Nope. It's not worth throwing it away, but it's pretty obsolete now." or "Yup. We recently learned that ____" (fill in the blank).
> It would be ideal if Kagi had some means of truly decoupling searches from accounts

Important to note is that Kagi does not associate searches with an account to begin with, nor there are any incentives for Kagi to do so (search log would be just a giant liability from a standpoint of Kagi's business model, with no benefit).

I think what you mean is - are there means to make that provable from a technology standpoint? It turns out there are, through something called blind tokens, and we are looking into it. It is being discussed in Kagi forums here: https://kagifeedback.org/d/653-completely-anonymous-searches...

Another solution available right now in Kagi is paying for the service with Bitcoin/Lightning and using a random email address to sign up (Kagi does not need or verify email addresses, they are just a login id and can be anything).

Correct. Was thinking more that the 'idea' was really started in US and it was in the public discourse, and was popular idea to a lot of people. We can make people smarter, stronger, etc... and the sterilizations showed how it was really taking a dark turn.
I think you're right, but historically there have been problems. Frans de Waal has written about how in his field there was a lot of early egregious anthropomorphizing. As people realized how flawed that was, they swung around the other way, to refusing to consider analogous human behavior. But things like de Waal's work demonstrating moral sense in animals is hard to explain in any other way. [1]

Even so, it can be tricky. In Bernd Heinrich's excellent "Mind of the Raven" [2], he points to a story where a woman, lost in the wilderness, noticed a raven crying near her and spotted something like a mountain lion creeping up on her. In the news story she gave the raven credit for warning her and saving her life. But Heinrich points out that ravens have a demonstrated history of leading predators to prey, because that way they get the leftovers with much lower risk. So although the woman was correct that the raven understood her danger and was demonstrating advanced social cooperation, her anthropomorphic bias led her to perhaps be dangerously wrong about who the raven was trying to help.

So although I think shorthand like, "The octopus is playing" is fine for casual use, I think serious people have to always be challenging those tempting assumptions.

I still have some Tom Lehrer songs in my playlist. They sound like they're a product of their time but are still relevant today.

I am also amused that I learned "new math" in elementary school, but I think it's actually different from the "new math" in his song of that name. I didn't hate it, honestly. "Now the book wants you to do it in base 8." This is actually relevant to my day to day work. (Though in base 8, I have to say that I only ever use bitmasks. chmod 755 foobar)

To be completely fair it might not be exclusively ADHD.
Research is discovering that Autism and ADHD are both on the "same" spectrum, and ASD covers both. Meaning they are not necessarily separate things.

My ability to do bullshit work, is practically zero. If it isn't a task that I find challenging/interesting/important then there is negative motivation (or tolerance) to do that thing. I can and will find something else to do, forever putting off the BigBoringTask. Sometimes I can fool myself, and sometimes I work the fix into the project.

Example: I _HATE_ filling out timesheets. If the company wants anything more specific then "clock in/clock out"; too bad.
So, one place I worked I wrote up a bunch of script to scrape SSH logs to catch my login/logout, and would then calculate the "time spent on client". I also had it search emails based on that day and would pull the ticket number most likely related to why I was SSHing in. This challenge/solution consumed my entire interest for that day. My dopamine hit was because I wouldn't have to do the BigBoringTask ever again.

I love the fixing/solving, challenge/reward; I can't stand the tedium. And I just don't do it if I can't stand it.

I have had a clinical diagnosis for both ADHD & ASD. So it's no longer a mystery why I act/react the way I do. It also takes away the sting when somebody says "Everybody else has to do this, why is it so hard for you?"

Some more questions about software support. It seems the device is using android. Do you have any plan to support mainline linux kernel?

> start shoehorning in LLM APIs to gain a bit of contemporary relevance

This claim implies that there's no utilitarian reason for this integration, but I don't think that is true. Shell scripting is notoriously arcane, and conversely LMs are pretty decent at unraveling that. You might notice that there are quite a few comments on the issue where users specifically state that they are using the feature and find it helpful. I was actually mildly skeptical when seeing it show up in the changelog for 3.5.0, but after giving it a try, I think this is exactly the kind of useful AI integration that I'd want to see more of (as opposed to how LLMs are being used most of the time).

That’s a mild way of putting it, but yes. It should have been something like I-776 (which would not only have been more correct numerically, but would have reflected Pennsylvania’s role in American independence). For non-Americans: I-776 ~= 1776, the year the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I shudder to imagine an AI tuned with individual ad-tech fingerprints, especially one without our knowledge –– and yet, I'm certain it's already mostly developed.

I already have a hard time trusting ChatGPT, etc., but mostly for factual-accuracy reasons.

The potential for LLMs to be tuned to give me responses that I'm likely to like (or manipulate me to buy something) is truly unfortunate.

>>sometimes the simplest explanation really is that the animal is doing a "human behavior".

Note that running your own mirror of the root on the recursive nameserver(s) on your network will keep the traffic generated from these sorts of queries off the rest of the internet.

If you're already running your own recursive resolver on reasonably up-to-date software it can be surprisingly easy to set this up; see rfc8806 for some config examples.
Of course it's falsifible. I don't own a Tesla, and I wouldn't trust it even if I did, but I could check for myself by setting it to self-drive and then not paying any attention whatsoever. If I get in an accident, I was right.

More realistically, if Tesla believed their car is safe without human intervention, they could, you know, put them out on the streets without drivers, like Waymo did. Or at least tell their customers that it's actually safe to not pay full attention and that Tesla would accept liability if accidents happen, like Mercedes did. Or something in between. Since they are not doing any of these things, I think your opinion that is just obviously wrong.

Isn't it carry over from anti-chattering/de-bouncing feature?

Most micro-processors has useful edge- and level-detect interrupt features that allows instant unconditional jump to interrupt handling subroutine(think callback functions) often used for physical buttons handling.

And one of common knowledge associated with that is, physical buttons tend to go through a transitional random state while being pressed, generating rapid succession of false on-off signals. This could trigger the interrupt detection feature, and while there will be little chances of memory leaks and no GC mess from this at all thanks to interrupt systems being static objects, it could still put system in a weird state and/or massively slow it down.

The most typical solution to button chattering problem is as follows:

1. have the button input pin triggered for rising edge(button not pressed to pressed).
2. upon detection, immediately disable interrupt upon trigger, optionally send button down event to OS.
3. wait a millisecond, or for whatever duration the button takes to settle.
4. while at it, re-trigger the interrupt now for falling edge to detect button release.
5. on falling edge, pass the button up and button click events to the OS, or call the onClick() callback, and configure everything back to 1.
(0. call the hardware guy cubicle for further discussions)

... which results in classic MacOS style behavior of button press greying the button without action, and that is cute.

But the point is, it's less of a UX feature, more of hardware quirk suppression. Certainly a VR keyboard button virtually pressed by 3D spatial location of individual fingers don't require such pieces of anti-chattering code.

[expletive], I'm bad at drawing conclusions. Maybe I could say, by Chesterton's Fence principle, here the theory of Act on Release implementation is explained, and removal of fence can now be freely discussed.
What's your refund policy if we don't like it? There's no mention of refund/return on the page at all.

I'm judging by what I see teams choosing for new projects—both dev shops and corporate/internal devs. Even 5 years ago they might have debated Vue vs React, but there's not even a discussion anymore.
The problem you're describing is only a problem with Act on Press, which is why it's normally Act on Release, so I don't understand how it's irrelevant to his point.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a game which requires a double click for use. Do you have any examples?

Is that RAG though? Perhaps I’m missing something but I don’t see where the retrieval step is. Extracting the metadata and passing it to the LLM in the context sounds like a non-RAG LLM application. Or you’re saying that the DB schema is so big and/or the LLM context too small so not all the metadata can be passed in one go and there’s some search step to prune the number of tables?

Simply pumping out tons of 30 year old technology may have stunted that progress or even created so much waste that solar could have been deemed as non-viable.

When has ramping up an industry from expensive luxury to commodity ever stunted the progress? Lithium ion batteries, liquid crystal displays, oled displays, integrated components, computer memory, the list where exactly the opposite happened is enormous.

This seems like a 'everything happens for a reason' rationalization. Solar panels even more than everything else have just been about cost effectiveness over their life span.
On my banking app I get a review screen as you described and I wouldn't be happy if the submit action would be triggered on press, because I'm already used to confirmation actions to be triggered on release.

And just look at this comment thread, quite a few are used to this as well, so changing it would upset those users. It's also not a repeated action, so you won't really notice the difference that much compared to pressing buttons on a virtual keyboard.

For non committal action button as per the examples above - yes use on press.
The way the Golden Gate is incorporated across all answers seems almost like an obsessive compulsive disorder. If the association was negative, we might call it a phobia. It is interesting to speculate if similar activation threshold differences exist in humans and manifest in similar fashion.

Any chance of the A4 size device and higher DPI in the future? Will pay any money for that.

A4 e-ink has considerable audience that doesn't know they need it – people who read papers. All the academia is formatted for A4 and stored in PDFs, which is pretty unreadable even on 10". People literally print them on paper to read.

I currently enjoying A4-sized Boox Tab X and it's a game changer, as I read a lot of papers and want to read more outside.
