And to the latter point I got that all the time in Japan, but I think main reasons are: they wanna practice, but even more they wanna practice with a native English speaker bc it's a novel experience for em!
I think they absolutely benefit from being niche, but there are a few other things they have going for them that won't go away if they become popular:

* They're not ad funded. Sergey Brin and Larry Page called this out in 1998 and it is just as true as ever: you need the economics to align. Kagi wins if people keep paying for it. Google wins if you click on Search ads or if you visit a page filled with their non-Search ads.

* Partially because of the economic alignment, Kagi has robust features for customizing your search results. The classic example is that you can block Pinterest, but it also allows gentler up- and down-weights. I have Wikipedia get a boost whenever its results are relevant, which is by itself a huge improvement over Google lately. Meanwhile, I don't see Fandom wikis unless there's absolutely nothing else.

I hope to see more innovation from Kagi in the customization side of things, because I think that's what's going to make the biggest difference in preventing SEO gaming. If users can react instantly to block your site because it's filled with garbage, then it won't matter as much if you find a brief exploit that gets you into the first page of the natural search results. On Google Fandom is impossible to avoid. On Kagi it just takes one click.
Not to be the downer, but who pays for all the video bandwidth, who pays for all the content hosting? The old web worked because it was mostly a public good, paid for by govt and universities. At current webscale that's not coming back.

So who pays for all of this?

The web needs to be monetized, just not via advertising. Maybe it's microtransactions, maybe subscriptions, maybe something else, but this idea of "we get everything we want for free and nobody tries to use it for their own agenda" will never return. That only exists for hobby technologies. Once they are mainstream they get incorporated into the mainstream economic model. Our mainstream model is capitalism, so it will be ever present in any form of the internet.

The main question is how people/resources can be paid for while maintaining healthy incentives.
> I am fairly regularly called violent, demented and mentally ill by anonymous commentors on the internet, ranging from pathetic fascists on HackerNews and ranging all the way up to Jordan Peterson himself. While part of this is unfortunately just a reality of being a trans woman on the internet, Ludicity , when he saw some of the comments that I've drawn, was actively shocked and angry: apparently some of what I catch is significantly worse than anything he's ever gotten. And he's a brown guy on the internet with a much larger following than I have: I'd have expected him to catch at least some properly vile racism. The level of sheer, unmitigated misogyny that any woman in tech with a public-facing presence is subjected to is that bad. Taking the discussion offline, things get even worse. The work culture at Activision Blizzard was perhaps one of the more grotesque examples of the sheer, vile harassment we experience, but it's not unique. This happens everywhere, and the disturbing thing is that when we bring it up, it's seen as a weakness in us that we can't cope.

Something is disturbing here all right.

> Are you basically saying that simulated CSAM should be illegal because not banning it would be offensive to real victims of actual abuse?

No, it's because it will likely lead to those consuming it turning to real life sexual abuse. The behavior says "I'm attracted to children." We have a lot of good data on where this precisely leads to when entirely unsupervised or unchecked.

> but kinda orthogonal to the whole "and also you get 20+ years in the locker" thing.

You've constantly created this strawman but it appears nowhere in my actual argument. To be clear it should be like DUIs, with small penalties on first time offenses increasing to much larger ones upon repetition of the crime.

> it's pretty much impossible to restrict this

Right. It's impossible to stop people committing murder as well. It's also impossible to catch every perpetrator. Yet we don't strain ourselves to have the laws on the books, and it's quite possible the laws, and the penalties themselves, have a "chilling effect" when it comes to criminality.

Or, if your sensibility of diminished rights is so offended, then it can be a trade. If you want to consume AI child pornography you have to voluntarily add your name to a public list. Those on this list will obviously be restricted from certain careers, certain public settings, and will be monitored when entering certain areas.

It's pretty shocking that a boat with no sail area could get knocked over bad enough to sink that quickly. Something had to be seriously wrong with the design. I'm not particularly salty, but I've sailed in 25-30kts with the rail buried and not even had a second thought about the boat sinking. I've been knocked down with full sails up in 25kts, and had a broach while racing -- sailboats can be expected to spend at least brief amounts of time on their side, even if you're not out doing anything particularly dumb. I just can't fathom how a boat wouldn't be able to survive 2 minutes on its side and still be signed off by a builder.

I don't think that false positivity helps us build a better world.

I asked about the link since it is clearly not a site used very often, not the site hosting the content (it's a youtube embed) and a site listed in your bio. That sounds like trying to astroturf market your site via comments.

If it was just about positivity and not the site I'm guessing you would have responded about the content of the video.

Like yourself, I await the investigation report, however, I suspect that will be a bit underwhelming and only confirm speculation. It is not good to speak ill of the dead, so it will take a lot longer before someone tells the unvarnished truth. I suspect that will be a story of folly, with the big mast being the 'invisible clothes'.

We have lots of these stories at the moment, from Oceangate all the way to the Boeing 'projects' that have been off the mark. You could 'explain it like I am five' to write a really good story book for bedtime reading for kids, going from the depths of the ocean to space, with follies that follow the same story, all the way.

> 2. King Chondos' Ride (1982)
> 3. A Gathering of Heroes (1987)

From what I understand, leaving the keel up would be reasonable enough if a boat was rigged as designed. Typically the boat would be ballasted differently if you have a retractable keel/centreboard. Sounds like converting the rig from a ketch to a sloop is probably the root of the design issues, combined with some troubling risks of down flooding from the various vents mounted close to the water line.

One of the beautiful things about the tech industry and the internet is anyone can start a company and run a business without anyone knowing anything at all about the person.

I buy that there's bias here, but I'm not sure how much of it is activist bias. To take your example, if a typical user searches for "is ___ a Nazi", seeing Stormfront links above the fold in the results/summary is going to likely bother them more than seeing Mother Jones links. If bothered by perceived promotion of Stormfront, they'll judge the search product and engage less or take their clicks elsewhere, so it behooves the search company to bias towards Mother Jones (assuming a simplified either-or model). This is a similar phenomenon to advertisers blacklisting pornographic content because advertisers' clients don't want their brands tainted by appearing next to things advertisers' clients' clients ethically judge.

That's market-induced bias--which isn't ethically better/worse than activist bias, just qualitatively different.

In the AI/search space, I think activist bias is likely more than zero, but as a product gets more and more popular (and big decisions about how it behaves/where it's sold become less subject to the whims of individual leaders) activist bias shrinks in proportion to market-motivated bias.

If you're unaware of the general mood towards big tech in the 2020's, the downward trend of the economy, extreme speculation in all the tech sector over AI (which again, is not new), and the dozens of ethical quandries towards the methods of how LLMs obtain their data set, then yes. I can see why you're struggling to understand. There's so much literature on each point that I will only implore you to research these things on your own time if you care to.

I don't think OpenAI dominance in consumer benefits anyone in the long run.
It's kinda true but also not at all.
In general, having better single thread performance means a more reactive UI and snappier feeling because blocking operation gets executed more quickly. On the other hand, many modern software having been extremely optimized for multi-threading and not all categories of software benefit that much from faster UI thread. If parallelization isn't too expansive, throwing more core at something can make it actually faster.

And the big thing you leave out is that it all depends on how well the software is optimise, how much animations it use and things like that.
My iPhone has MUCH better single-thread performance than my old PC, yet it feels much slower for almost everything.

And this is exactly how I feel about Apple Silicon Macs. On paper, impressive performance. In actual practice it doesn't feel that fast.
