It's hard to judge one's personal experience with "personalized" search engines. I have personalized search turned off for Google so Kagi is a much better experience for me. I'd recommend leaning more into their fea

It's a blessing when you're in the native Android / React Native / Flutter space.

The intelligent design controversy during the mid 2000's were a fun time. I still have some Flying Spaghetti Monster merch.

AFAIK, nation-state LLM's are likely using models that don't need to be abliterated. Why introduce a step that cripples their performance? Do you truly need refusals when trying to figure out zero days? I might need to watch Psych

Use an abliterated LLM and you can have it act like the worst person you can imagine. I'm also pretty sure these docs are already being used for training, whether or not Jmail / Jemini exists.

It's probably at the same scale as gas/oil companies and recycling at this point. I'd like to believe my individual efforts will make a dent in the surveillance state, but at this volume legislation is truly the only meaningf

Yeah, we've seen time and time again that the network effect of social media makes it next to impossible to actually move to a different service. The Discord feature set is great and all, but it's the fact that your communities ar

Had a similar experience after rejoining a few years ago. My account wasn't suspended for breaking guidelines AFAIK, but rather flagged as a suspicious account that required an upload of my face and driver's license. I think the a

"Software engineers are scared of designing things themselves." So the answer is to let AI agents design it for you, trained on the data of the giants of software engineering. Got it!

I believe it's called test-driven development but often I write tests hoping that what I tell myself the application code will do does what I want it to do. It's also self-describing of the changes made, and what people new to the

Not OP, but I think the way ICE enforces immigration in the USA has a lot of issues. The bar is too low for people granted the right to utilize lethal force to join, they aren't revoked of the same civilian rights to privacy we give to

I do wish it worked more like GrapheneOS, but the other protections outside of web browsing seem to make it worth enabling lockdown mode. Personally, I'm only reading articles on my phone's browser so I'd wonder if I'd b

You can choose to exclude Safari from these protections[0]. Honestly, looking at the list of "limitations" you'll have while running Lockdown mode, I'm surprised most of them aren't the system default. [0] https:&#

Touché! I recant my conspiratorial thinking. Though I still think it's odd that the other sources I posted don't have it; one is what's actually being taught in Stanford courses and the other is Google's own hosting of t

I must have somehow missed that one; glad that ancient site without HTTPS is still up. Here are the two top results I get from searching for it from Stanford[0][1], and you can see that this section of the appendix is missing. Google's

If that's the case, it makes it all the more curious as to why Google banned the extension[0] on Chrome. [0] https://adnauseam.io/free-adnauseam.html

Am I correct that after cloning down the project, you open the directory in Claude Code, then "execute" a markdown file instructing a nondeterministic LLM to set everything up for you in natural language?

So long as the local model supports tool-use, I haven't had issues with them using web search etc in open-webui. Frontier models will just be smarter in knowing when to use tools.

Not OP, and not going to call you a fed or psychotic, but I recommend watching the videos if you'd like to form an educated opinion on this situation.
