Because art is made up and people keep quoting things from it as if they were factual things that have happened.

It's better because Bing may still have selling ads as a priority when building the indexer. If you're not the one paying, you're the product.

I've thought about it and I've decided that I can live with that. Besides, I don't think it will make it to that level of popularity before "the incident" that shocks everyone and triggers a senate inquiry.

Either there will be horrific side effects or Musk will cut quality or make an 'executive decision' that beams ads into everyone's head. I don't know the final implementation, but I think they won't resist the temptation to make the firmware up-gradable remotely, and once they have that, they won't resist the temptation to meddle.

I'm convinced that the Neuralink is the dumbest idea ever, but I've come to the conclusion that it's better for people to just learn the hard way. Like, it's so obviously stupid that anyone who's still going for it cannot be helped.

Because last time I checked they just used Bing anwyay, while Kagi runs their own indexer.

I can tell you from experience I have a Samsung T5 (500GB) that has over 95TB of writes over 5+ years to it and it's only used up 17% of its spare blocks. The T7 which is the newer model is like $40, I'd just get one of those. They're very reliable, I've bought a few and none of them have failed. The larger drives have more spare blocks and are even more resistant to writes.

Personally I would recommend a portable SSD, over a HDD as I've had several HDDs fail but never lost an SSD, BackBlaze backs this up with their total drive failure statistics being 2.5% for HDDs and under 0.5% for SSDs. Your real danger will be that a portable drive is guaranteed to get jostled and an SSD is far more resilient to that.

There's loads of flaws in it, but it's a method that could push back on global warming on a wide scale fairly cheaply.

Google's becoming pretty terrible anyway, it only seems to return pages that are selling things. I've switched to Kagi at this point and it seems to work better, it's subscription only, but you know you're the one paying for it and that means that you're the end customer.

Maybe, but the thing about plants is that they grow themselves. Which means they'll still be contributing after funding gets cut and the project scrapped.

Oh wow, 100% improvements in some cases, that's no joke.

EDIT: In Nginx, there's one benchmark where they get tripled performance on the EPYC9754.

I think some kind of drought and heat tolerant bamboo might be needed it we want to grow plants fast enough to actually make a dent in carbon levels.

Bcachefs sounds incredible.
