That's a public health crisis and little different circumstance don't you think? If you're in a profession with a license you are expected to follow a code of ethics. If you violate it, the profession in its interest to prote

Great work! Question though were there reasons to go with optical tracking versus a trackball you use a thumb or fingers with? Personally I've found trackball mice nice for eliminating virtually all wrist movement.

I feel bad for Chinese citizens. I can't stomach the idea of being prosecuted by my own government for speaking my own mind. Made worse that they coerce people's families. I also worry that without freedom of speech a lot of acade

I've learned that Engineers approximate and use π = 3. So now we've gotten our time estimate down from 4x to 3x. Talk about efficiency!

This is DuckDuckGo though. Here it's apparently just bringing you the relevant information from a Wikipedia page and showing you that. Personally this a great feature for me. In my mind, AI for search is one where there's an attem

This raises a question I have about Win 11. Are the problems people are attributing to 11 because they use the Home edition or are these problems also found in the Pro edition? Seems like worldly different experiences. Regardless getting a

It's really hard to read long winded literary analysis when there's ads at the top, bottom, and inserted between every paragraph or two. Good job web team you made consuming your content a chore! A Farewell to Arms is a great book

How so? Search already does that (sifting through data and giving me its best results) so you're already trusting a middle man here. If AI can get me results that I can tell are better than older search algorithms results then that

Well if it is learning from my search habits and its results reflect more accurately what I wanted compared to traditional search then I would say that's useful. Not to mention the niceness of more natural language you can use to query

I guess it depends on the interest of the parties concerned. You the consumer would like to have results more closely related to what you wanted. Google (or other company) wants to bring you a result that's more likely to generate reve

How else are they supposed to test without a large number of people using it? How is DuckDuckGo supposed to compete without? How is this not an improvement to search? (presumably whilst still respecting people's privacy)
