> Without Google, there is no Kagi.

Google isn't the only search engine they use (they have a small selfmade index, Brave, Marginalia, and others which they don't disclose, and "vertical information" like Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, etc..), but probably most of the results are from Google. Without Google there would still be Kagi, but maybe not as good as today.

I would second this and add that moving to part time is a path that your manager can help you talk to HR about. They may ask why since its not common and just be honest about it. If its medical related - taking care of spouse, parents, or kids then in the US there is FMLA which can be up to 12 weeks, pay depends on banked time off and insurance, etc.

In the US there are likely medical benefit and retirement account requirements for working X hours per week, I think its 32 typically but check with HR or if your place has an employee manual it should be clearly spelled out. To phrase that another way - you may lose medical coverage and/or 401k match depending on the "hours" you work. Scary quotes is because you are likely still salary and not hourly.
Don’t let the internet fool you. I’m a 39yo man and I see none of those problems in real life.

Not sure how old you are, but among my friends of 40-50 year olds there's more of us than not, lots of philosophers, musicians, writers, designers, who got drawn to the appeal of the web as a communication platform for interesting media that then ended up getting... I don't want to say stuck but that might be the right word... in jobs that pay well.
Spot on! Well said.

I frequently wonder what breed of human sincerely disagrees. I sometimes think the realm of software encourages through detachment (remoteness, distance from the users) a sense of liberty for the id. If this shit was attempted physically, in person, there'd be a lot of missing teeth.
Pretty sure that’s a mistake, they do elsewhere (https://transitapp.com/en/region/london/tfl ), and I’m using it ,right now.

Not doing so would be astonishing given how many people use public transport here, and that TFL’s data is really, really open + easy to use.

This logic only applies for companies in a competitive business environment.

YouTube is a video monopolist - they know that it is an awful service for viewers, but there's no need to improve things because where else would viewers go?

Unfortunately, they are also part of a conglomerate that has reached full dominance in several online markets that are not growing. And they need to show quarter-on-quarter growth to shareholders. So you can't capture more market share, and there aren't any more people discovering the Web, so you stick additional ads everywhere. These people know exactly what they are doing.

Blaming it to the keiretsu is too simplistic. Here other factors that in my experience (living, studying & working) in Japan contribute:

- Graduates don't apply to a job, but to a company. The company decides where to place then. The first years are generally a rotation between departments until it is decided where to allocate them. This means that they will be often misplaced in positions for which they don't have the necessary background nor motivation to learn or contribute because in 6 months they'll be somewhere else.

- It is not uncommon for developers not to have a CS or coding background. They learn on the job how to "program" but lack best practices, etc. and figure out things as they go.

- Standing out is frown upon

- People who are good at their jobs are generally rewarded with more work. One can know who the manager's favourite is by who busy the person is. At the end, the good ones end up burned out, over-stressed and brain death.

- Looking busy or hard working is more important than the outcome.

- Combine the above, and there is no point to do a good job: There is no reward other than more pressure to deliver but on the other hand, as long as you look busy, not delivering is not "punished". Clear what option most people will take.

- As already commented, decisions are top down and often very conservative replicating old methods digitally.

- Many customer facing products will try to cover as many cases as possible to avoid complains, perceived discrimination or causing trouble, for example. This results in over bloated software, websites, flyers full of information, etc.

Think of an LXC as a docker container but at the OS level.

An LXC running docker with an app containerised inside will basically be the same as if the app is running a level higher in the LXC itself.

Give it a try. Then open top/htop in the host OS (pve shell) and you'll see the apps running in the docker container inside the LXC as native processes.

It's not only that, they would prefer to give a ton of money to a single entity with "market experience" and all the paperwork that looks good already existing. It would work better if it was lots of small amounts of money to individuals with good "business" (think about workplan, expected value and other stuff) but without paperwork - think a kid that just finished studies or a person that acquired experience freelancing and has an interesting business idea but not the money to have the paperwork. Anyway, at least it's how I feel towards the SV "tech".

Whataboutism also has its own wikipedia page where it doesn't make such a distinction:

> for CISC normal to have small number of registers

A very common fallacy. For CISC it's normal to have small number of programmer-visible (architectural) registers. But nothing stops them from having large register files having about a hundred or two of physical registers which are renamed during the execution. IBM has been doing this sort of thing since the late sixties.

Modern x64 have IIRC 180 integer general-purpose registers, and I imagine this number can be increased further: say, AMD's Am29000 from 1985 had 192 registers... and honestly, having more than 16 programmer-visible registers is not that useful when 99.999% of the code is written for the high-level languages with separate-compilation schemes: any function call requires you to spill all your live data from the registers to the memory; having call-preserved registers means that you can do such a spill only once, at the start of the outer function, but it still has to happen. And outside of the function calls, in the real world programs most of the expressions that use only built-in operators either don't require more than 4 registers calculate, or can be done much more efficiently using vector/SIMD instructions and registers anyway.
Strong disagree. There is no diplomacy to be had when one side insists of war, because that's what they want. See Ukraine, everyone who is anyone tried to prevent the war, but Putin still went ahead with it. The leaked call with Macron is a good example, it's circling on Youtube and a variety of news outlets.
Yeah, it's not particularly plausible. Even if you believe that they are in a truly atrocious state of repair, that, say, 95% of them will fail to land on target and detonate, a nuclear strike from Russia would still be catastrophic.

The main reasons most observers are not super worried about nukes in the context of their invasion of Ukraine, is that MAD is still an effective policy against an all-out attack against NATO, and NATO (especially the US) has a credible red line of any attempt at a 'small-scale' use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine that will bring them into the war.

The main effect of nukes, though, is to make Ukraine's allies nervous about the collapse of the russian government, because that is a plausible situation in which nukes could be used. The US, especially, seems to by trying to help Ukraine win, but not win so hard that Russia collapses, and it's not obvious that a level of support exists that would satisfy both outcomes.
This is one of the few comments advocating for LLM search use that actually lines up with my experience trying to use it. It's pretty good for a narrow subset of my search queries, but it's totally useless for everything else.

I gave up on it because "two search tools instead of one" is just a really hard sell for me. When I go to search something, the keystrokes/hand motions are totally intuitive. Having two different patterns was annoying. StartPage works great for me. I have no reason to replace it, much less half-replace it with something that has only proven to be incrementally better at a few tasks. That's a matter of personal preference, though.

Well history isn’t a feeling.

It’s well documented how lenient the U.S. was with enforcing international law on Japans high ranking military and political leaders. The U.S. covered it up and whitewashed Hirohito’s role in WW2. It’s why Japan still has never apologized or even admitted to genociding Chinese and enslaving and raping Korea.

Open up a Japanese textbook on the early 20th century and you will find a glowing portrayal of an Imperial Japanese Empire.

RT is a propaganda organization. They say war because it's intended for an English speaking audience. Notice I haven't said anything about Ukraine being or not being "perfect."

War's ultimate purpose is to shift the situation into a point where diplomacy can happen. It occurs when both sides disagree on the situation strongly enough that they prefer war to any diplomatic option available, and it continues until a diplomatic option can be agreed.

Currently, Ukraine and Russia's diplomatic goals are still incompatible, and both believe they will be able to shift the balance of the war in their favor.
ChatGPT didn't find any cases, but offered this:

There were debates about whether military children attending base schools were receiving benefits not available to children in the local civilian school systems. This issue could have come up in various ways, such as in cases where military dependents might have access to college-level classes or subsidized education while local students did not.
> That’s an existential threat to Russia.

This is repeated over and over again, but doesn't make it true: it is an existential threat to a corrupt regime, not to Russia.

Russia will be fine without the regime. It may have some rough times, but in the long run, it will be fine. Putin's regime isn't Russia, and Russia isn't Putin's regime.

Just like the propaganda narrative: "Oh Russia tried democracy for a couple of years and it was awful! Democracy doesn't work in Russia!"

Reforming institutions and culture isn't something you do in a few years. Look at the process Ukraine is going through to join the EU. It takes time, and thankfully, we have frameworks for what works nowadays.

Yeah it’s extremely rare to see the typical employee at a major Japanese firm’s office in Japan with passable verbal english skills. So rare they practically don’t exist outside of foreign companies and upper management of Japanese companies and their consultants/‘advisors’/etc…

And this isn’t limited to IT, it’s pretty much the case in most departments.

Decent written English skills are not as rare though.
>War's ultimate purpose is to shift the situation into a point where diplomacy can happen.

Sorry but that is just plain nonsense. The purpose of diplomacy is to avoid war. War destroys any reason for diplomacy.

You should use the right tool for the right purpose. If you're searching for a physical place and want opening hours, reviews and photos, it's Google Maps. If you're looking for updates and photos for a physical place, it's Instagram. If it's detailed articles it's Wikipedia. If it's to define or translate a word, right click and "Look up". Or if it's general search, you have Kagi.
99.9% of the time, "secret" in a headline is cheap counter-factual clickbait.

Here it is both literally true, and critical to the usefulness of the "benchmark". Which is a math test. A math test which the AI's do not get to cheat on, by having seen in their training sets. A math test which the top AI's perform extremely poorly on.

Added: For the top AI's, "stumped" means that they could not solve even 2% of the problems. Vs. for the PhD's, "stumped" means that they needed hours or days to solve the problems. Very different outcomes.
War is the end of diplomacy. Name a single effective Western diplomat capable of preventing wars?

I'm mostly on the same boat as you, but yes, I'd say most people type complete sentences (usually questions) into Google. The results for these types of queries are usually:

- An autogenerated info card that usually is regurgitating wikipedia.

- Several SEO blog spam posts that have the exact query as the title and kinda answer it while trying to sell you something. No sources for more info of course, just a link to the store or whatever.

With this landscape, LLMs for search kinda make sense. In a way we are already 90% of the way there.
The article seems to under represent how advanced and widespread i-mode cell phones were in Japan - over 60% of the population used it in the early 2000s.

I stayed with friends in Japan in 2001 who noted all their friends used email on their handsets rather than have a PC. They also could watch certain broadcast TV channels on their phone which was popular on the train.

The only people I knew with mobile email in my home country were some execs with blackberries.

> Wouldn't dead reckoning with the accelerometer and gyroscope in addition to their machine learning improve this significantly?

The thing that should help the most would probably be the hall sensor/magnetometer/compass. That should output decent dead reckoning.

Doing this just with the gyroscope will work very well for short movements, but it will be close to useless on long, gentle curves. Unfortunately, those MEMS gyroscopes drift quite a lot over tens of seconds. Not a problem if you can do sensor fusion with the magnetometer (reckoning) and the accelerometer (where is "down"), but the latter can't be used on a fast train, acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle and forces in curves make finding gravity challenging. No idea how well a compass works inside a subway tunnel.

But maybe I'm wrong, I just have experience trying an "artificial horizon" app on an aircraft - and here, the accelerometer is completely useless for "down". A single maneuver with some Gs and the horizon has no idea what the pitch angle is. Noisy magnetic environment, GPS off? It also doesn't know where it's going.
