I prefer that world too. The only people morally responsible for committing atrocities are those who commit them. Shall we hold the farmers who grow food that Russian leaders consume morally culpable for those leaders’ actions? I’m dead ser

No, you can’t without being a hypocrite. It sure is convenient to take a moral stance when it has no real impact on your life and just throws others under the bus. But try applying your morality consistently and you will find it’s effective

Assuming speed gets solved as predicted, for an application like search, the provider would have to sync a new database of “vectors” to all clients every time the index updates. On top of that, these DBs are tens if not hundreds of GB huge.

What makes you so certain the US is less bad than Russia?

So why bias the US over Russia on the morality scale?

You are welcome to govern yourself however you want. I said that. But if you actually think that Kagi is going to make tomorrow worse then all I can say is, “good luck out there”. I prefer to use my valuable time and limited attention suppo

You’re asking. There isn’t a moral truth here. It’s just politics. Prove to me that Kagi’s support of Yandex has uniquely enabled a Russian war crime and maybe we could start having a real discussion about whether Kagi is morally culpable

… implication of my comment was: “Which search engine may I use that doesn't indirectly cause harm?”

by dcow 1y ago
The point is not to not try and support causes you believe in, it’s about acting in an internally consistent way. If you don’t support war, then you cannot indirectly support anything that has any part in supporting any war anywhere. You ca

By that definition precisely noting is apolitical. And that’s really the point, isn‘t it? Kagi values search quality over virtue signaling in line with whichever way the wind is blowing. Also, do Kagi’s Russian users deserve to be punished

Conversely, Vlad’s strong sense of engaging in ethical business and utmost respect for and understanding of what it means to remain neutral is precisely why I use Kagi, and why I believe Kagi will beat Google in the long run—why I investe

No, internet search really isn't optional. Try it for a month. Good luck!

I don’t see any key exfiltration CVEs on that list. Or anything that could be exploited in a way that is relevant to discussion of digital identity documents. The biometric data doesn't leave the device in any of these protocols. Keybi

The difference is that the future is now with LLMs. There is a microwave (some multiple) in almost every kitchen in the world. The Concord served a few hundred people a day. LLMs are already ingrained into hundreds of millions if not billio

And after you take the rose tinted glasses off, it was full of spam and scams and abuse and all the other low reputation poor security crap that happens when anybody can be anybody all the time. And if that world was good/sustainable t

I empathize with many of your concerns here and share your frustration. Man do I wish there was some sum that Apple would let me pay to own my iPhone. If anything we need more legislation that prevents the amount of exclusivity Apple has ov

Then change the law. I’d probably vote with you. That’s besides the point. The hacked up solutions for the things existing “perfectly fine” over the last few decades are complete crap. Anybody who’s ever had to take photos of their ID then

You’re missing the point entirely. I’m talking about age requirements to purchase alcohol and cigarettes and view porn. There is not a world where we decide to restrict purchase by age in meatspace but throw up our hands and say “whelp we j

I’m not following your argument, sorry. How are device owners being prohibited from anything? Which zillion vulnerabilities in the TPM are you referring to? Because that’s how seriously these standards take security. These are device bound

The problem is using physical identity online sucks. Well intentioned and honest people want to fix that issue. I have flown entirely with a mobile drivers license without pulling out a physical ID for the last few years. It’s objectively b

I said decades not centuries. A cookie with a birth year is not a cryptographic verification of a digital identity document. Anybody can click “I’m over 18”.

I believe that happens for other reasons though. No law is telling Visa/Mastercard to prohibit payments to furry artists. They have some risk model that says it’s not good business and additionally pressure from advertising partners to

Well this time around the phone will ask the person presenting an ID for biometrics before allowing them to use Dad’s ID. We are improving. There is no perfect solution; we don’t live in a perfect world. Surely we shouldn’t give up and re

Are you arguing that we should not regulate porn, alcohol, and cigarettes? Or that we shouldn’t have digital ways to do the regulating we’ve been doing for decades? If the discussion was a question of whether to regulate or not, I’d see mor
