Skype is still alive!? Back in the day my entire extended family used it to connect with each other across the globe. But today? I don't know a single person, old or young, that still uses it!

Funnily enough, deleting all of my raise/pin/lower/block filters dramatically improved the quality of my search results. Enjoying Kagi a lot more now.

There is not much a police state can do when 1 out of every 3 Americans own guns. > There is nothing to celebrate here. Disagree. This might be the best news in a long time.

Man, assassin may have been a bona-fide American hero.

How does this justify UHC's denial rate being double the industry average?

The vast majority of people I've talked to IRL, conservative and liberal, are thrilled about this. "American hero" is the phrase I've heard tossed around quite often. Can't say it wasn't the best news of the we

Yeah, but most LLMs are barely functional after 16k tokens, even if it says 128k on the tin. Sure, they will have recall, but the in-context reasoning ability drops dramatically. LLMs just aren't smart enough to take over the world. Th

Nobody can say Meta didn't try. This is what happens when you prevent companies from building nuclear because of "rare bees": https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/11/endangered-bees-stop-meta... Le

The fearmongering around safety is entirely performative. LLMs won't get us to paperclip optimizers. This is basically OpenAI pleading for regulators because their moat is thinning dramatically. They have fewer GPUs than Meta, are much

Anyone wanna guess how many deaths this guy was responsible for?

Common misconception. Poverty levels were far higher. In 1950 half the global population lived in abject poverty. Today, it's less than 10%. https://ourworldindata.org/poverty

To be honest, you don't really want people saving too much in a healthy economy. You want them spending.

No, it's 35%. Credit card usage is fine if you can pay off the card.

Illegal immigrants. See, that's an important concept that the Intercept is clearly trying to sweep under the rug. And yes, we should deport people who are not here legally.

Good. This ruling is absolutely absurd. The judge should be removed from office. What an incredibly biased ruling after shareholders voted for what they wanted.

This is really interesting from the perspective of gradual replacement/mind uploading: what is the absolute minimum portion of the brain that we would have to target? Understanding this could probably make the problem easier by some fa

LLMs are really well understood, what do you mean? You can see the precise activations and token probabilities for every next token. You can abliterate the network however you'd like to suppress or excite concepts of your choosing.

I was following the article and nodding my head all the way up to the Rust section, at which point I lost track because I'm not too familiar with Rust :) It's also not clear to me how `if let , while let , let-else` help (and how

I've been using Kagi for a few months now and it's getting kind of annoying. Maybe I have too many pin/raise/lower/block filters, but I've been finding myself adding !g to a lot of my queries now.

The future of content is social media. Instagram Reels and TikTok. Snapchat and YT Shorts. People don't want to read articles, they want to watch short form videos about what's interesting to them. An interesting side effect is th

Is it bad that I want Google to totally collapse all the internet infrastructure that relies on them if they lose this case? Sick of people treating the only companies really pushing tech forward like a piñata.

Illiterate people on both sides want to see technology destroyed.

Well, we know for a fact it wasn't your mic being recorded. Maybe you walked by WiFi networks where people purchase dog food.

Oh wow. Yeah. This changes my opinion on Signal. Why the fuck did they make such terrible insecure defaults for backups? IMO they should not even be doing backups at all by default, what the fuck.

Signal is absolutely better. Telegram is e2ee in name only

Why should C-level execs pay for what was effectively a Russian think-tank exploiting a vulnerability in their developer platform? Should Tim Cook go to jail because Pegasus exists? This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. Fac
