Yes. It's less delusional than assuming basic humanity from attackers ... in a war.
How do you delineate essential regulations (eg. airline regulations, food safety) from useless ones (eg. parking minimums, house zoning)?
You picked the exact three things that Google does better than Kagi: Maps, Shopping, and realtime information. I'd also add local business information to this list.

But you didn't mention the things that Kagi does better than Google which is in my experience: everything else.

Google is still "free" though so there's nothing stopping you from adding !g to your Kagi shopping searches.
I know that, I just mean if Russia hits the power plants, the chance of severe retaliation is growing.
This is just literal propaganda output by a think tank.
I find it hard to believe the US cared about civilian life in Iraq when the US military took out Iraq's water treatment facilities in the Gulf war then imposed sanctions to make sure they can't be repaired, killing 500,000 children in only the first 4 years of 12 years of sanctions.

Even more chilling is the interview with Madeleine Albright, former secretary of state, where she literally says the 500,000 died Iraqi children was worth it.

Back when I flew more my rule was "never check bags". Now I've mostly just stopped flying because the experience is so awful.
On the other hand DJI has flown their regular consumer Mavic 3 Pro(although I bet it has been modified in some way) all the way to the top, so I have no doubt that with enough of them you could construct almost anything. Not that it would be allowed or even desirable by anyone there.

If they use it as a tutor or as a glorified Google search then that's okay. The problem is if they start using code generation tools which AI provides and directly use that into the code base.
They seemed to mind a lot by never shutting up about Biden's handling of inflation, which tariffs contributed to.
The small model you trained, how did you annotate the dataset? Because most of the times output from big models will be subjective, and with not a drastic difference in quality. If there is a drastic difference, you dont need a model/classifier. For smaller differences in quality + cost, what would the annotated dataset look like?
> I’ve noticed that the quality of answers you get from googling has steeply declined

Are you asking for solutions to a specific problem or searching for information on the problem? I still don't have issue with search engines, because I mostly use it for the latter, treating it as an index of the internet (which is what they really are). And for that AI is a huge step down, because I can't rely on the truthfulness of their replies.
I assume top-5 consulting companies are buying to be on the bandwagon, but are the rank and file using it?
The incentive structure that they're using makes it much more likely that a good regulation will be kept than a bad one; this isn't a blanket destruction of all regulation, rather a review process that requires agencies to periodically affirm that a regulation is still having positive impact.
Cool XX century story but mass use of LLM generated text will obfuscate any such individual differences. My kids already use LLMs extensively to verify and sometimes generate homework completely.

Maybe, or they might get all of NATO running to attack Russia. China is also currently giving Russia support (while claiming to be neutral, their actions are clearly leaning to support Russia), but is very likely to invade. Nobody wants nuclear weapons used in war again.
this is like a rambling of a mad man, it reminds me of the many, many posts on any XXX photo gear forum where majority of the time people will dedicate their time arguing about edge sharpness performance of lenses or pixel peeping and only a small portion of the forum is dedicated to actual pictures, and when you see those pictures you quickly close out of the forum because 99% are visually just not interesting.

use the auto mode and don't worry about it. if you acutally want to have some control then learn the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO. I learned this very long time ago through a Sunny 16 rule on my Leica M6 and outdoors during the day that rule works just fine with today's digital cameras that have 8+ stops of dynamic range anyways.

otherwise photography is about in interesting picture. unless you crop it so much that it's so pixilated that it hurts your eyes no one will scrutinize it or chastise the photographer that they took it with a tripod or cropped it and this article is just a gigantic self serving vent that really doesn't give anyone any better advice on photos.

here's an example of acceptable cropping of a very iconic image:

> How else do you find out about new stuff, or recommendations, or things you never considered before?

Personally, I chat with friends over a beer and talk about new things. More often than not, my friends have great recommendations on things to try — both old and new.

> How do you find out about new movies, concerts, etc.?

I go check the movie listings / concert venues’ schedules. Or look up the schedule for a band I like. I don’t constantly browse the lineup; only when I get the itch to go to a show.

Normally I’m the one engaging research into new experiences, and it seems to be going fine. The other month I was reading Troy by Stephen Fry. When I finished, I thought it would be nice if he covered the Odyssey, so I looked it up and saw he is releasing an ebook for it in the Spring. In the meantime, I decided to read the Iliad. I wasn’t sure which translation would be good, so I searched online and found that Emily Wilson has a great translation. And now hopefully a reader has benefited from m y suggestion here.

Most ads related to these fields seem to me that they are designed to sell me something I don’t necessarily want or need. I feel capable of taking action and looking up things that do interest me. It may be different for areas outside of entertainment, but I’d have to think on that more.
Genuine question: What is so difficult about healthcare in the USA?

European countries solutions range from free to government subsidised (for those who can't afford it). The free ones vary in quality, but systems where you pay unless you can't work pretty well, and the quality is very high.

Why is this such an issue in the USA? Is it purely a "powerful people with vested interests" thing?

> (This does mean that clients connected to different homeservers might see different orderings; this is unfortunate but probably unavoidable. But clients connected to the same homeserver should all see the same ordering.)

I don't think it's unavoidable at all, this is exactly the kind of problems CRDTs solve beautifully. If you model your chatting as a CRDT (basically, each message has a Lamport timestamp on it, and you have some sensible way to resolve ties deterministically), then assuming all peers have gotten all messages, the ordering should be perfectly consistent. What may happen is that you type a message, press "enter", and then some message might pop up before that when everyone finally sync, but I think that is acceptible UX, I see version of this in things like Slack and Discord frequently.

All peers having the same message order assuming they all have received the same messages is absolutely required for a chat application in 2024, distributed or not.
Thank you; I've been a subscriber and missed this news. I'm going to unsubscribe.
Big risk of nuclear meltdown. Nuclear reactor cannot stop immediately. Gigawatts of power will damage equipment by high voltage and current, then reactor will melt. Nuclear reactor in Zaporizzhya finally turned cold after more than year, with multiple attempts made by Russians to disconnect it from grid by shelling the grid and targeting repair teams.
The fines are more public. But low fines are otherwise pretty indistinguishable from "here is some money for you to look elsewhere".

As explained in other threads, McKinsey made almost the same amount of profit (adjusted for inflation) as the fine. So the message is:

- the effective fine (profit minus fine) is approximately 0, if you get caught.

- if you don't get caught, you get a profit of 120M.
It's all about who you think is more likely to put you in a van. If you are an American it probably won't be the FSB. Different countries will vary on this decision.
I hate ads as much as the next guy, but this way of thinking feels the most unsustainable of them all. You said it yourself; the only reason you get to watch content ad-free is because other people are either watching ads, or paying for the content.

You justify with 'if you offer content for free, I'm not going to pay for it'. Agreed with microtransactions and stuff. But with youtube videos? The content is not actually offered for free. It precisely relies on ads to exist. So the content is offered with ads/with subscription (i.e. not free), and you are using an adblocker to bypass this. So you are just leeching out of the other users, and is not sustainable.

There's estimated 47k to 100k civilians who have perished in a couple of months in siege of Mariupol,

Many commenters seem unenthusiastic about this approach, but it seems like it solves some useful problems for my typical use cases.

Regarding dropped timestamps: if log order is preserved within an aggregation, that would be sufficient for me. I'm less concerned with millisecond precision and more interested in sequence. I'm making a big assumption that aggregation would be limited to relatively short time horizons on the order of seconds, not minutes.

Grouping related logs sounds like a big win to me in general. Certainly I can perform the same kind of filtering manually in a log viewer, but having logs grouped by common properties by default sounds like it would make logs easier to scan.

I've never been involved in billing for logging services so I can't comment on the efficiency gains of log aggregation vs zstd or gzip as proposed by some other commenters.
> I don't think any rational person would disagree that it should be illegal to deliberately spread misinformation and lies.

It's actually a very common opinion, because it always gets weaponized.

It's not a new phenomenon. It's the reason for the whole idea of freedom of speech.

It's not just R doing this (though they are... prolific users of it). Remember covid? Lab leak was politically incorrect as a lie, and banned, but has since been downgraded to "maybe".

The fact that NYTimes never bothered with Apple News says something about this model.

Apple News (or the original Newsstand) might work well for traditional, smaller publishers who are almost struggling in the digital age (most magazines in Apple News would quality), because Apple News brings them traffic and revenue that they may have lost or never get in the first place. Bigger publishers have enough influence to just build their own platform and avoid paying Apple rent. Verge is another such example.

Same reason for Xbox Game Pass, Kindle unlimited, etc. You gets lots of fun games from independent publishers, but never expect something like Hogwarts Legacy to launch on Game Pass on day 1 unless it is a first-party studio (and you have the most expensive version of Game Pass).

If I want to stretch this a bit more, same thing with app stores. Spotify and Netflix are big enough to say "if you want to use our app, go through the pain and pay on the web. We are not offering IAP". Most app developers can't do that. Meanwhile, Epic is big enough that it can pick a fight with Apple.
That folks think it’s an MBA that benefits from building a sustainable media business and not the people who work there, who get paychecks and better resourcing, is one of the great misunderstandings of the journalism business and the reason why I pipe up in threads like these.
But since dark chocolate is not exactly a staple, what this is actually selecting for is "people who eat a variety of foods in big quantities" vs those who "gained all their weight from frozen pizza". It seems a no-brainer that the former is the relatively healthier choice. But that's not science. Science apparently is picking one variable at a time, blanking the rest of you mind, and drawing a conclusion.

> Nearly every country in the world follows a very similar set of rules regarding jurisdiction.

Actually, no. As a general principle, countries do not pass/enforce laws regarding potential criminal activity that their citizens commit against citizens of other countries while in those other countries.

To take an extreme example, if you murder a citizen of a foreign country while in that foreign country, your home country is generally not going to charge you with murder. If you come back home, they may extradite you to that foreign country at that country's request, since you broke the law there. But because you were in the foreign country and the victim was also foreign, it's not within domestic jurisdiction.

Laws against bribes paid abroad break this rule. And in 2022 it was found that only two countries in the world actively enforce bribery outside their borders -- the US and Switzerland [1].

So no, your assertion that this is how nearly every country in the world operates, is completely false. It's actually a gigantic exception.

(Things operate differently for military forces, war crimes, etc. But we're talking about regular civilian/corporate law here.)

Microsoft's Windows 95 put spaces into "c:\My Documents" and "c:\Program Files" so that developers targeting Windows were forced to support spaces in filenames.

Of course, in those days if an OS upgrade broke some third party software, the end user paid for an upgrade. So although Microsoft forced developers' hands, the developers all got paid for their trouble. And you'd only have your hand forced that way once or twice a decade.

Windows at the time was also all about the GUI file-pickers. Breaking the command line? Shell scripts? What are those?

China has four brewing issues:

Demographic cliff on a scale not seen: yes Japan is going through one now, but China's is simply unprecedented in the sheer numbers

Authoritarianism: China is rolling back free market reforms, centralizing power under Xi

Finance: China has a real estate and debt bubble at the regional government level.

War and aggression: China US relations are approaching cold war levels and a Taiwan invasion seems likely. Four years of trade war is imminent.

Depending how it plays out, any one of these is trouble for offshore manufacturing in China. I suppose collapse is a strong word, but it is stupid to rely on Chinese production both for a company and in terms of national security.

Zeigan has been singing this tune for a decade, but recently there are many other geopolitical talks I've seen repeating each or all of the four issues I've listed above, and the demographics aspect is inevitable at a minimum.
It feels like we’re witnessing a clash not just of technologies but of philosophies: centralized, tightly controlled AI versus the chaotic yet flexible open-source approach. The question is, can corporations remain in their ‘walled gardens’ if open solutions become powerful enough? This isn’t just a race of tech—it’s a race of trust and adaptability. Who will win: corporations or the community?

Or that it is aligned with the current executive’s philosophy. This is pretty likely to create regulatory instability, but the article (as much of it that I could read) didn’t address that.
The most valuable thing I want AI to do with regards to coding is to have it write all the unit tests and get me to 100% code coverage. The data variance and combinatorics needed to construct all the meaningful tests is sometimes laborious which means it doesn't get done (us coders are lazy...). That is what AI to do, all the mind numbing draining work so I can focus more on the system.

True, that one time in 1996 where I actually found out about a useful, high quality product from an advertisement was pretty nice.
This isn't really true though. Pricing is very psychological. Verge wants their price to be $7. It's $7 for the Verge.

Not $16 for the Verge. $16 that appeals to 1% of people and where, when you click the pricing page, there's this weird $7 reduced-ad second class version. Believe it or not, they probably thought about this.

Maybe it works for Netflix in a cycle where they were already doubling the ad-free price and differently for a text media company introducing a price.

Was there ever a doubt? Imagine how useless an LLM would be if it wasn't allow to know anything about media after 1928?

seems everyone expects AI to be the digital equivalent of that overly-sheltered home school kid that can name every state and capital and the year each entered the union but if you quip "make them an offer they can't refuse" they just stare at you blankly. And that is not a kid I would hire as a screenplay writer.

also not like humans haven't been producing derivative dreck without AI for ages.
I'm not sure how much of an experiment it is. A bloomberg terminal is ~$25k a seat. There are plenty of specialist software tools in the $10kpa region. So going in at $2.5k doesn't seem like a big push.
Without evidence that the savings were being directed towards a cause preferable to employees, I would conclude that there was insufficient convincing justification for choosing a bad healthcare plan other than that it provided extra incentives to the chooser, like money or favor.

'We could theoretically spend greater than 0% of the savings on something that could be better or worse sometime in the future' isn't good enough on its own, and it's not convincing enough that it will ever happen, and if it does, it doesn't leave me convinced that the money will be spent on something better for me.

> even in the worst case scenario, a very low probability for the median employee is still better than zero probability.

The criteria to use here is, "do employees feel they're better off with the new, terrible healthcare plan, given any free sodas etc they might have received in exchange". If the employees wouldn't have voluntarily made the same choice for themselves, then it was a bad healthcare choice for employees.

Isn't compression the best general purpose solution with theoretical guarantees? I mean a simple huffman coding could easily extract the key-values (where the repeated keys will be candidates for compression) relationship and compress it. But if you want to extract more juice, then that implies knowing the datatypes of strings themselves. It would be like types for logs and not messing those up.
