My interpretation was always that the Stoics were the more type-A people while the people following Epicureanism were a bit more hippie. Still lots of overlap

Hell yeah !

You could have a few built in options (like for domain filtering and customisation) for the privacy people. Could even be community sourced so there's no onus on Kagi itself.

So for example there could be a built in "developers" preset that might make domains useful to coding higher ranked (and down rank or block things like stack overflow clones). Etc etc.

Basically this could allow a smaller amount of customisation with less ability to identify a specific user.

I also use Orion and I do like the idea someone else had of integrating an option for Kagi Privacy mode into the "incognito" tabs specifically as an option!


Micro VMs are the future in my opinion. Best of all worlds


True enterprise drives ftw - even Seagate usually makes some very reliable ones. They also tend to be a little faster. Some people have complained about noise but I have never noticed.

They are noticeable much heavier in hand (and supposedly most use dual bearings).

Combined with selecting based on Backblazes statistics I have had no HDD failures in years


One of these blogs literally told us that enterprise drives were no better.

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/enterprise-drive-reliability/


Seems outdated - a lot of the drives in the 2024 statistics are enterprise drives - so they are using them


There's no reason not to use them. But the point is they are not really more reliable than non-enterprise drives.


I'm not sure I follow you, are you really saying that your choice of Seagate was based on Backblaze's statistics? Maybe I'm missing something but aren't they the overall least reliable brand in their tables?


The drive with the lowest fail rate at the above link looks like it is a Seagate enterprise drive (ST16000NM002J)


Not sure what used prices are like these days but the Titan XP (similar to the 1080 ti) is even better


Mind elaborating ?


Sounds like it could potentially be a cheaper (and maybe less fire prone) battery where weight and volume is less of a concern - maybe batteries for residential / commercial buildings or grid storage ?

Possible also easier recycling - especially locally close to the battery.

Even compared to LFP (much higher cycle longevity than the article quotes) these sound like they retain energy capacity much better


Most commonly when people say lithium ion they really mean lithium polymer (lipo). Usually for the other lithium ion chemistries they will specify like you Jane (LFP etc).

You are technically correct - that's just how I've seen it casually used


Most commonly when people say lithium ion they really mean lithium polymer (lipo)

I don't think this is true. There are still lots of lithium ion 18650 cells around in battery banks, tool batteries and home devices, you name it.

Also lithium polymer is the same general chemistry (there are lots of variations), the polymer is the separator.


When people say Li-ion they typically are talking about Lipo batteries (unfortunately). LFP obviously are much better longevity wise.


No they are not, they are talking about batteries that contain a lot of lithium. Aside from battery nerds, the finer points of most chemistries are lost the vast majority of people and I doubt even experts would agree with your very narrow definition.

In any case, my point was that the car industry and the storage industry is dominated by a wide variety of batteries (most of them lithium based of course; some might say lithium ion even) that have way better longevity than the article suggests is the key selling point of this new battery chemistry.

I think it's a bit misleading or sloppy. I'd expect better from IEEE.


I've been guilty of thinking of lithium polymer. Most people have no idea of battery chemistry beyond thinking of the thing that comes with their phone.
