Kagi's business model also aligns incentives better than an ad and/or data mining fueled business model. Of course, this isn't proof, but it is evidence. One can also try the search in areas that one knows deeply and compare

They may have a bespoke deal with someone. They may be losing money. They may have believed a claim from Deepseek about not storing things more than they should. It may be something else. AFAIK no third party audit has been done so all that

The Chinese api prices are already so cheap that that is arguably not needed. You can also get $10/month opencode go (which officially can be used with any harness) with basically every major open weight model running inference in a pl

This is a terrible way to learn. Lecture halls are uncomfortable and synchronous, which are objectively less convenient than reading or watching videos at home. If someone wants that then they can organize watch parties, without forcing it

They're running code on users' computers that it would not be reasonable to think that the user consented to running on their computer. This is CFAA-violation-shaped. Of course, they won't be prosecuted if it is indeed a viol

There are other reasons that an employee may comply with a leader's instructions than some highly subjective and deeply irrational notion of social status. For example, they might comply because they're paid to, or because they wa

One option is to get home prices to stop rising faster than wages by having wage growth speed up while real estate value growth slows down (not necessarily becoming negative). Then, no one is underwater on their mortgage, but buying a house

While this is true, for many customers who aren't technical (in a computer sense, since they may have significant highly technical expertise in another field, such as agriculture), "tech" (meaning computers) just means what w

What's the purpose of using EC2 over something much cheaper, like OVH, digitalocean, or Hetnzer? Usually the argument is for scalability, but a single VM for personal use doesn't need that, and even if you do want that, you'l

Everything about matrix is cumbersome and glitchy. I have last tried to use it a few years ago and it seemed that Riot/Element had the only decent clients, and those were all Electron on desktop and also seemingly for profit. Signal ha

Such phones with removable batteries are incredibly rare, such that finding one is quite likely to fail if you have any other concerns at all. If a truly well made phone was common and made by many people, then there'd be much less arg

This attitude is widespread enough to hold the world back by forcing everyone who interacts with the public Internet to support ipv4 (some technology), "for free". So, either way, we're forcing one of them. So, we might as we

I suspect that if that ruling was made, then many other drugs being made at home for personal use might become legalized, at least unless states decide to go and ban it too. Note that I am not taking a position here on if that's desi
