Yeah this person is saying “impossible” when they mean “extremely improbable.”

> airline travel is much more efficient then car travel Sure, but for many business travelers, air travel isn’t competing with car travel. It’s competing with a nearly-zero-emissions Teams call or Zoom meeting.

Yes but having them as NFTs makes it harder to do that, not easier.

You say that, but it's clearly not true. Imagine all the problems of the DMV as it is now, plus dealing with a buggy blockchain app where people use malware to steal your car registration. Or, in 10 years, when you have to download and

Privateer was just utterly amazing to 12-year-old me. After years of playing Wing Commander games on rails, it felt incredible to finally be free to see the open universe and the perspective of the ordinary citizens. My only disappointment

You clearly haven’t tried it. My kids still use an 11 year old gen four iPad every day. It’s absolutely incredible for the $500 or so that we paid for it. We’ve gotten 11 years of entertainment out of it. The old apps still install just fin

> Honestly, it feels like ChatGPT understood the point of the question better than you did. And if it answered in your nitpicky style, then we'd probably be criticizing that. Exactly. This is why the response is so impressive, IMO.

In the US, most employees are at-will and work without that kind of employment contract.

IMO one of the root causes of the issues kids have these days is the fear culture where it's no longer acceptable for parents to let younger kids do things on their own. When I was in grade school in the early 1990's, all of the g

What regulation would have helped here? “No buying a website with the intent to develop it but then changing your mind”?

Many wood fireplaces barely heat anything. You have to open the flue to let the smoke escape, and the heated air from your house escapes as well. That air has to be replenished from somewhere—and that somewhere is "outside," where

The "feed it to a heavily trained GPT-3" part is backwards. The transcribed notes should be stored and retained. The LLM should be applied later, in real time, when someone is referring back to the notes. That way you still get th

by D13Fd 4y ago
That's exactly the thought process that leads to us trusting LLMs in places where they shouldn't be trusted.

The transcription part doesn't bother me. That's just advanced speech-to-text. The summarization part, though, is dangerous. It's a very quick path to us losing all faith in our own medical records. Any way you slice it, no m

The term "placebo" implies intent. So saying something is "a placebo even if that wasn't the original intent" is like saying something "is red even if it isn't that color."

It’s a lot more private than using Google, who are actively monetizing your information.

by D13Fd 4y ago
Even if it weren't marginally better, I'm paying to preserve my privacy and keep Google from monetizing my personal information.

They are "free" in the sense that any searches beyond the first 200 cost extra. They should have just said that searches beyond 200 per month cost extra.

I pay because their results are as good as or better than Google, and because they aren't in the business of marketing to me or selling my personal information. That's it. All this crap with AI and Kagi releasing a browser is a di

by D13Fd 4y ago
I'm happy to pay the money for search , but what's happening here seems to be Kagi jacking up the prices to pay for their other non-search stuff that I'm not interested in.

by D13Fd 4y ago
Yeah, their product is too good to cancel unfortunately. But the fact that they don't seem to care about search any more, instead focusing on AI and browser stuff, is disappointing.
