My wife and I both pay for Kagi Ultimate, which they've quietly developed as a Perplexity killer. Aggregates all the major LLMs and couples them with Kagi's clean search results with citations. All with no ads, no bullshit. It&

To the degree lawmakers have weighed in, as you say, can you point me to a citation protecting the subsequent purchaser? I don't practice in this area, but that is definitely not my understanding of the law.

Scream Hitler all you want. Your task is to defend cultures that condone slavery and the subjugation of women. Good luck.

Uhm, you have "sympathies which are simply illegal"? Wow. You trust the government to tell you where you can lay your personal sympathies? I sometimes run into casual statements like this that make me SO GRATEFUL I live in the

Yes -- put another way, some cultures are better than others. I want cultures that prioritize individual freedom, liberalism, and egalitarianism to be "dominant" on a global scale, even if that requires some level of domination.

Where was this? Members of my family have three different remote cabins surrounded by trees in Montana, Idaho, and Oregon, and all work perfectly. The early days were a little more glitchy, but with the constellation they have today, you do

This strikes me as just fine, but for one problem — other people snoring. I fear I’d have to wear earplugs or something, which always seem to fall out of my ears part-way through the night.

Agreed. So much hyperventilating about risks that, in context (e.g., driving, open water swimming, alcohol, tylenol), are infinitesimally small. Risk is a difficult subject for lay people to understand, and there are many professions buil

Those definitions are anything but straightforward.

I think there's a genuine conversation to be had about whether there even is such a thing as "hate speech." There's certainly "offensive speech," but if that's what we're going to try to eliminate, t

I presume they used insecticides. Anyone know what they used?

Yeah, Exhibit A is that religious zealot Trump . . .

Yeah, Ehrlich will be right any day now. Just you watch . . .

He very early assumes/disregards we remain confined to earth. In the face of exponentially growing energy resources, this is a terrible assumption.

Yeah, I use PhotoSync to sync back to FileRun. FileRun places all files in a basic share, which I access by smb on-prem and via FileRun's webdav server elsewhere. When I'm at home, transferring over LAN direct to storage was the

I don’t know what it says, but I managed to break a 15 Pro lens WITH a Tech21 case, dropping from about 3’ on concrete on the corner (not flat on the lens). It may be that Apple covers the actual lens with a cover, but whatever that outer s

I too am a paying customer. Surprisingly -- at least to me -- it's easy to do with Microsoft's Edge browser on iOS. I use it as default on both iOS and macOS.

I need a god damned lesson on this. I just don't get it. It's not like the bidet is a precise instrument. It does a half-assed job (literally!), and everything winds up wet and half clean. I then break a bunch of toilet paper t

Is that true? Places in America with multi-day blackouts common? That’s nuts!

Sure wish Apple would now make it available in a Windows app, or at least in browser. It would be so helpful to be able to text from my Windows machine through my iPhone.

I work for a lumber company. We have no connection to, or use of, any of these substances. I just work on toxics issues in different arenas (e.g., air toxics and pesticides).

These strike me as ideological, not scientific, positions.

PFOA/PFOS propaganda is wild. They're very useful substances. Yes, acute exposures cause harm, but the same can be said of salt. Though with modern instrumentation we can measure presence in parts per trillion, I have seen no e

I fear government actors will work hand in glove with companies like OpenAI to limit that competition and curtail non-corporate-safe AI.

Caution about directly typing domain names is exactly the opposite of what we've told people for twenty years.

To the contrary, I’m inclined to trust it more.

I'm not sure I completely understand the interplay, but I use Edge and it's great. It uses Chromium as a back-end, and I have a couple Chrome-only extensions installed, but that strikes me as different than having to use Chrome (
