I use mixture of solutions for Web browsing

- I use RSS to see 'what's new', and to search it. My RSS client support search

- I maintain list of domains, so when I want to find particular place I check my list of domains (I can search domain title, description, etc.). I have 1 million of domains [0]

- If I want more precise information I try to google it

- I also may ask chatgpt

So in fact I am not using one tool to find information. I use many tools, and often narrowing it down to tools that most likely will have the answer.

This is what I’m leaning toward as well, but it’s hard to believe companies are spending billions of compute dollars building agentic tools that no one is using for production projects. Surely there’s some Giganto-Corp, Ltd. out there using this for something other than training their own LLM?
The benefit for VC of lending you more than you need is (a) getting the owners hooked on spending money, then (b) taking control.
Just for curiosity:

I remember when the book Dow 36,000 came out in 1999. The DJIA was around 10,000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_36,000

It finally reached that number in November 2021. It peaked at 45,000 in December 2024.

And now we're headed back to 36,000 -- probably tomorrow.
Yeah, I need more coffee to decide for myself if double checking all sources is linear or exponential as it progresses to check the checks.
Thanks for taking the time to provide this detailed feedback!

I agree that the message is not yet clear for most. We can see it in these threads quite well. Now, this is not the first one we are trying, and we will continue to try further :).

The sentence you provide is certainly interesting because it is relatable. The problem is that it talks about a fraction of what we want to convey.

At this point in time, as we do not know how to convey the idea succinctly, we are looking for people that will take the time to look at the more elaborate explanations. It turns out that there exist such people. It seems to me that you might be inclined to look at it, too.

Please do let me know if you do. I would offer to show you around. And who knows, perhaps you can contribute a better presentation for what this is. What do you think?
Running mechanics also greatly impact injury risk. One of the best suggestions I got was to drastically increase my cadence, which forced me to go from longer (more powerful) strides to shorter (lower impact) strides. My observation is it also shifted much of the load from my lower legs (knees and ankles) to my core (hips and glutes).
This is the biggest argument in favor of subscription-based funding models for search I've heard. (Kagi et al.)

Ad-sponsored models are going to be dead as soon as people realize they can't trust output.

And because the entire benefit to LLM search is the convenience of removing a human-in-the-loop step (scanning the search results), there won't be a clear insertion/distinction point for ads without poisoning the entire output.
Also, there's what is termed "The Silurian Hypothesis[0]," which is a thought experiment about whether or not there was an advanced civilization of dinosaurs (in particular, theropods). Since birds came from theropods, it's not so far off.

I read that bird brains have a high neural density (lots of neurons, packed tight). That's why they can be so smart, with such small brains.

Github Actions Runner code is pretty easy to read, here's a specific place that define default arguments for popular shells / binaries: https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/src/Runner.Worke..., it is exported through a method ScriptHandlerHelpers.GetScriptArgumentsFormat.

In ScriptHandler.cs there's all the code for preparing process environment, arguments, etc. but specifically here's actual code to start the process:

Overall I was positively surprised at simplicity of this code. It's very procedural, it handles a ton of edge cases, but it seems to be easy to understand and debug.

It is not possible to tariff IT hardware enough to pull manufacturing back to the USA. The cost differential is exponential. Cellphones would cost 30k each. The product would be dead.
(I'm a co-founder). At Coroot, we're strong believers in open source, especially when it comes to observability. Agents often require significant privileges, and the cost of switching solutions is high, so being open source is the only way to provide real guarantees for businesses.
They will be less accessible initially to poor people, but if the laptop actually does last 20 years then there will be a lot more on the used market therefore driving down the cost when someone buys a used one. That is the avenue most people who can't afford a new one will likely go.

It makes it more expensive to be on the cutting edge and turning over your laptop once every couple of years, but it makes the used purchases cheaper.
You'd get better energy density that way, but I think it's offset by worse efficiency & more damage to the engine. The inert gas fraction (N2, CO2, H2O) provides a useful working fluid to convert combustion heat to force pushing on the piston. Burning pure O2 would mean a lot more heat is needed for the same amount of force. Higher peak temperatures & more available oxygen will tend to create hotspots & knock/pre-detonation, & possibly erosion of the cylinder wall & piston from directly burning the metal.

Using nitrous or cool compressed air keeps most of the benefits while mitigating the problems of using pure O2.
Sorry, I wrote this in a hurry. Of course I would have included an ORDER BY clause.

It's not "backwards in time." The need for machine tools didn't disappear. There's an essential machine-tool industry that the US depends on very much, it's just in places like China.
> Some say certain alcoholic drinks are good for you (in moderation), some say no amount of alcohol is good.

From what I've read it seems likely that any amount of alcohol is bad for you, most of the studies that show moderate as good for you make the mistake of only have 'sober', 'moderate' & 'heavy' drinking, but if you look at the 'sober' folks there's a heavy mix of "I don't drink because I'm in recovery" or other health issues, so if you instead of 'sober by choice', 'sober by recovery/health issues', 'moderate' & 'heavy drinker' the benefit of moderation reverses to being worse than 'sober by choice'.

Almost any "this bad for you thing is actually good for you in moderation" basically seem to come down to:

People who can do common addictive things in moderation tend to also be good at moderating other bad factors too.

I had the funny thought that this is exactly what a sentient AI would write "stop looking here, there is nothing to see, move along." :-)

I (like vannevar apparently) didn't feel Cyc was going anywhere useful, there were ideas there, but not coherent enough to form a credible basis for even a hypothesis of how a system could be constructed that would embody them.

I was pretty impressed by McCarthy's blocks world demo, later he and a student formalized some of the rules for creating 'context'[1] for AI to operate within, I continue to think that will be crucial to solving some of the mess that LLMs create.

For example, the early failures of LLMs suggesting that you could make salad crunchy by adding rocks was a classic context failure, data from the context of 'humor' and data from the context of 'recipes' intertwined. Because existing models have no context during training, there is nothing in the model that 'tunes' the output based on context. And you get rocks in your salad.

I would not with the snap of a finger revert back to a time centuries ago when I have spent all my life up until now learning to live in the current one. No. Just like a tribal Papua New Guinean would not want to, with the snap of the finger, become one of the vice presidents in the American Psycho movie. He wouldn’t know what to do with himself.

Beyond that I don’t know what there is to say about our so-called democratizing technologies when the discussion gets reduced to—and never goes beyond—those very slogans about them being democratizing. Yes. We are now free to repeat the same slogans that everyone else repeats.

I'm not sure that's how it works. People are going to continue driving, but they're going to be driving shittier, older, more inefficient, higher polluting cars, belching more particulates into the air, not fewer.
My use of Stackoverflow is the main casualty of LLMs

I used to use DDG for syntax problems (so many programming languages....) and it usually sent me to SO.

Now I use DeepSeek. Much friendlier, I can ask it stupid questions without getting shut down by the wankers on SO. Very good

I still use DDG to interface with current events and/or history. For history DDG is primarily, not only, an interface to Wikipedia

Extremely expensive in what since? In that it costs $.03 instead of $.00003c? Yeah it's relatively far more expensive than other solutions, but from an absolute standpoint still very cheap for the vast majority of use cases. And it's a LOT better.
That is a pretty shallow perspective. With all due respect.

It's a pretty common way for companies to go through bankruptcy. If the courts can identify a viable business inside the company, where the main problem is debt that it can't feasibly pay, they will allow it to proceed with business while cancelling the debt. Since the alternative is having the whole thing go under, without much chance of creditors being made whole, there is a benefit to society: some of the people keep their jobs.
for me chatgpt has completely replaced google.
So it hasn’t proven either.
No offense but it's not the barcode scanning that's the problem for this feature :)
This assumes no upstart will create a game changing innovation which upends everything.

Companies become complacent and confused when they get too big. Employees become trapped in a maze of performative careerism, and customer focus and a realistic understanding of threats from potential competitors both disappear.

It's been a consistent pattern since the earliest days of computing.

Nothing coming out of Big Tech at the moment is encouraging me to revise that assumption.

The Storage API That Ate the World (and What We're Doing About It)
To be honest, we don't even have a desktop app currently, though we do plan to make one. IMO Playnite is a behemot and it's very hard to overtake it, so maybe the best course of action would be to create a plugin to help sync their library data with ours (?). We both use IGDB data so it shouldn't be too hard. They also have a more robust store sync system going for them.

But feature wise, the main difference is that we're targetting all platforms instead of just PC. You could have GameNode in your phone when you only have a Xbox/PS console for example.

If you have any suggestions on what we may do to set us apart aside from this, please let me know
OceanSim: GPU-Accelerated Underwater Simulator
It certainly can :).

In fact, you might not need MCP for that either. There already exist programmable abilities to work with LLMs within the environment.
Somewhat. Much less frequent than before

With LLM being good enough, I go to LLM for what I used to go for Wikipedia and StackOverflow.
I mean, quite a few companies consider your ability to be cause harm or break law without worry to be an asset. Clear past example is enron, large consultancies, fox news and such. Same with managers like Musk, Thiel and such.

In that world, it will be an advantage.

But in just world, there would be actual investigation. DOGE is in fact breaking laws.
Average-case complexity can be a fickle beast. As you say, the simplex algorithm for LP is great in practice, so it's rarely problematic to use. But meanwhile, people also say, "Modern SAT/SMT solvers are great, they can solve huge problems!" Yet when I try using one, I usually run into exponential runtimes very quickly, especially for unsatisfiable instances.

Overall, it's annoying to tell whether an NP-hard problem is always really hard, or if ~all practical instances can be solved with a clever heuristic. It doesn't help that most problems receive little attention (e.g., to find solvable special cases) after being labeled NP-hard.
I would also hypothesize that they need less brain because they need far less sensory input from their skin and body because of their feathers. They can't feel their feathers directly and their feathers protect their skin from abrasion and cuts so their is no point to really good sensory input from most of their skin other than to differentiate feathers for grooming and tell if their feathers are being touched or not. A bird for example is not going to force its way into brambles or thorns that poke their skin or push through brush in search of food like a mammal, they either avoid the thorns completely or have enough feather protecting them to ignore certain types of thorns. If they get into a fight they are relying almost entirely on feathers to protect them and any cuts or abrasions are often fatal.

What does whole country consumption have to do with building megawatt chargers?

The problem isn't trivial. If you have, say, 10 charging spots on a lot, each requiring a megawatt, how are you going to deliver that? Are you going to build a whole substation for every charging parking lot?
Interesting. What operating system were you on?
It's super useful to potential hires about the kind of team you're building. Especially if there's some kind of niche you're in (product, tech, region, whatever). There are people who I would climb mountains to work with, and others within a niche whose very presence in a company is enough to steer me away. Another signal for me is the fraction of xooglers in the engineering team.
I recently had someone reach out and tell me they liked a Chrome extension that I built. They found it by asking ChatGPT if there was a way to do X on Y, and it recommended my extension to them.

I was very surprised to hear this, and it made me wonder how much of traditional SEO will be bypassed through LLM search results. How do you leverage trying to get ranked by an LLM? Do you just provide real value? Or do you get featured on a platform like Chrome Extensions Store to improve your chances? I don't know, but it is fun to think about.
Search is best viewed as a black box to transform {user intention} into {desired information}.

I'm hard pressed to construction an argument where, with widely-accessible LLM/LAM technology, that still looks like:

1. User types in query
2. Search returns hits
3. User selects a hit
4. User looks for information in hit
5. User has information

Summarization and deep-indexing are too powerful and remove the necessity of steps 2-4.

F.ex. with the API example, why doesn't your future IDE directly surface the API (from its documentation)? Or your future search directly summarize exactly the part of the API spec you need?

The reason it requires reduction to 11MP and to use the video pipeline instead of the Expeed pipeline is due to sensor readout time. I don't /fully/ understand it, but the sensor readout data on the Rolling Shutter Project shows a Nikon Z8 would max out at ~22fps in full-frame RAW, so no doubt they reduced this to 20fps to give them a margin of error. Reducing to the DX frame size reduces the amount of data required to be read from the sensor, which changes the time it takes to do a readout. The Z8/Z9 are 45MP cameras, so just doing a naive bit of maths, you could expect ~80fps if you applied the same pipeline at the DX frame size, but given that there is already a video pipeline and they needed it to be capable of 120FPS, they already had their answer.

I switched from Google to StartPage twelve years ago and have seen no need to change. I have trialed Kagi, and would move there if Startpage became unreliable. I've not used any LLM as a search engine alternative, and I have no plans to do so.
Same. I find perplexity to be much better for researching technical topics than Google or other classical search engines. I have only had occasional accuracy issues (like it suggesting something from a feature request that hasn’t been implemented rather than official documentation), but the reference links makes it easy to verify.
