That is different because all of the players I mentioned have credible, near-leading products in the AI model market, whereas nobody other than Google has search results worth a damn. I wouldn't recommend anyone squander their time by checking Kagi or DDG or Bing more than once.
I don't use google. Believe it or not, I get better results via Bing (usually via DDG, which is a frontend for Bing). But I asked the rhetorical question expecting the answer you gave. These people use ChatGPT only for the same reason you exclusively use Google.
Right, that's consistent with what I said if you re-read it. Search isn't changing. If you are happy with your search you would be wasting your time to shop around.
It is, to first approximation, the same thing. The generative part of genAI is just running the analysis model in reverse.
Now there are all sorts of tricks to get the output of this to be good, and maybe they shouldn't be spending time and resources on this. But the core capability is shared.
I know you being somewhat sarcastic, but the problem is the democrats put forward a checkbox-ticking uninspired candidate that had no business running for president - which I say based on her atrocious record in California and as VP. Her gender doesn’t factor into this.
Or in the case of Clinton, the party used undemocratic means to counter a political groundswell for a candidate they didn’t like, triggering an apathetic exit and no turnout for the most important voting bloc.
Most critically, the party seems utterly incapable of learning from these mistakes, and only doubles down on the worst decisions in the next election.
As it stands, we’d probably get a trans candidate (if there is one available) in the next presidential election. Which I’d want to celebrate.. but under present circumstances it would lead to an absolute electoral defeat. The Democratic Party leadership needs to learn to read the f$@!ing room, and put forward candidates with broad appeal.
Bernie is the closer analog to Trump in the Democratic Party, at least for this comparison. Trump is not a checkbox filling candidate by any measure. He was the protest vote against the system.
Even the second time, for different reasons. There was a lot of anger at how the Democratic Party kept the details of Biden’s decline hidden, and then did an emergency switcharoo at the last minute without a second primary. A lot of dem voters felt disenfranchised, and didn’t bother voting, or filed a protest vote thinking Trump would be as ineffectual the second time around as he was the first.
You might consider the field even for other reasons (which would make your comment something of a non-sequitur), but those adjectives certainly do not apply to Trump, regardless of what you think of the man and his politics. Trump very famously did not tick GOP checkboxes, and he has inspired a cultish following in a way that Clinton/Biden/Harris clearly cannot.
Im confused. There are two different streaming things on Plex. They support streaming inside the plex app of content from the usual streaming services, much like Apple TV or your TV’s built in media manager. They also support streaming your collection across the internet to wherever you are. Which is now behind a paywall?
I don't use Plex anymore, but not long before I cancelled my account they starting charging to access someone's library that had been shared with you if the sharing party did not have Plex pass, or something to that effect.
Haha, I was reading the first section and scratching my head, thinking: “Why so complicated? Just use the International AltGr dead keys mapping. It is so much easier.”
OP invented the International AltGr dead keys layout and this is the story.
Maybe if you have a big house, but I keep seeing people keep cats or dogs in small houses or even apartments and it feels so sad, it's a kind of animal abuse. If you can't give your pet a good life you should not get a pet.
What if it’s a small apartment, but the life is a significant albeit marginal improvement over life in a shelter? Would it make a difference if it were a shelter where animals are killed after a certain period without being adopted?
Please note that I’m on purpose phrasing this to be a bit contrarian. Not trying to rattle any cages (no pun intended), just found myself initially agreeing with you and then not being sure anymore.
I grew up with many cats, all outdoor. I have since known many cats that are kept indoor only. The indoor pets lead happier, less stressful lives. We tend to forget that it is a jungle out there, and even domestic animals have territorial fights and pecking orders. Indoor only cats live comparatively peaceful and stress free lives.
Zoo keepers sometimes experiment with giving their tigers or other big cats larger enclosures, but that can increase their stress because now they have a bigger territory to patrol.
Growing up my cat would get antsy and stressed if she hadn’t gone outside in a day. I can see how people can mistake this for needing space, but it wasn’t relaxing for her. She had to go out to remark her territory, and seek out any stray cats encroaching on her space. Noticeably very stressful for her! In the end when she couldn’t retainer her territory anymore, she went in fast decline.
If you're in the new world (the Americas) house cats are an invasive species that, when let to roam outside, harm the native small animal population. Cats shouldn't be left outside to roam free in this situation.
Actually the frontier lab pricing is way more expensive than actual cost. Look up the prices for e.g. Kiki K2 on open router to see the real “unsubsidized” costs. It can be up to an order of magnitude less.
