I'm sure you would be happy and reasonable about being quarantined every time you travel abroad. You wouldn't complain at all.

Here’s what Mr. Gippity came up with

If we wanted ChatGPT's opinion we can ask it ourselves.


Nooo I can't make money off of other people's work! This is an affront to FOSS!


It is a 100% not open-source. It won't be maintained besides pull-requests AND if another company or individual develops this further, it can not be used commercially by anybody else but the company who released this. It this fair? Open source goes both ways.


They have given us a gift with the code being availabile as it is.

It would be fair for them to have released nothing.

I do think its a shame that it can't legally be combined with GPL'd free software


That part is fair but they should have said something like "shared source", or "source available".

"Open source" means something specific to a lot of people. You may have issues with how OSI operates (I do too!) but let's not muddy things further.


It's a nice sentiment, but irrelevant. The code is not open source, they should not say that it is. Open source code can be used commercially.


You misunderstood me. I am grateful they are sharing the source code for review. My problem is with the wording. Open source means something different by definition. If they leave this project in the dust and someone else continues to maintain it, because he depends on it, this would be illegal and they could sue if they want years later. With open source this can not happen to you. It is a huge difference.


Would an EPEL package constitute a violation?


An Internet rails against political correctness, forgetting that it's not 1996 anymore. Some Hackernews decry the woke mob. No technology is discussed.


N-gate will be missed!


RIP to a legend


Literally no disabled person says "differently abled".


Of course not, but the language police don't care about disabled people.

These are the same people who publish "inclusive language guides" with garbage like "don't use the term Brainwave because it's dehumanizing to people with intellectual disabilities".

It's an entire R&D field dedicated to finding new and creative ways to be offended.


Ah, so when you said "they" your pronoun didn't match your antecedent. Makes sense considering no one on this site seems to know what a pronoun even is anymore.


I was never taught English grammar and have no clue what an antecedent is, nor any clue how to make a pronoun match it.


> Riders pay around $2.33 per ride and drivers earn around $2.33 per hour.

This isn't how it works. It's more like riders pay $2.33 per ride, app platform takes $2, drivers earn $.33.


Sounds great until the "AI" tutor poisons their learning with hallucinations.


downvoted for this lmao, I love that we're just pretending hallucinations aren't a thing


"Change the world" and "paradigm shift" are not inherently good.


It's evolution and our responsibility to make it good.

Doesn't matter though if we like it or not because it's happening.

The only thing preventing this is a total economy collapse so crazy that our society doesn't continue chip production.


We weren't able to make the internet good, what makes you think we'll do any better with AI?


The internet is responsible for longer lifespans and decreased mortality globally. It is, on balance, well beyond "good."


I can do my bank stuff online, pay and manage bills, can call my parents with video, send pictures etc.

Internet is a huge success.

Internet is connection not private websites.


I appreciate the optimism but to me this should have been you essay about the good of the internet. I'm convinced it would be worth reading. If you wrote it, I wont see it because that is how certain people like it.

My lengthy rant in response would likely be about the almost impossible puzzle of logistics, the access to the vast ocean of knowledge that humanity has accumulated and the organization of this complete mess that is civilization.

We have plenty of stuff, we just cant get it to the right place at the right time. We know plenty of stuff but we cant get it to the right person at the right price. We really want to make this democracy thing work but despite our effort we keep getting sausages filled with you don't want to know.

My definition of a huge success is different. Maybe I'm wrong for thinking we could do more with the tool. If I'm wrong I don't want to hear it :-)


To make it good, critics need to point out where it’s going bad.


Too bad Kagi is also investing in LLMs.


I don't think the issue is LLMs inherently, it's the misapplication. Kagi has siloed the LLM content into the 'Quick Answer' and 'Assistant' sections, and it generates on the fly from search results. (Plus, the 'Expert' LLM cites the references it used.) I think the issue will come when there isn't a clear delineation between real and artificial text, or when artificial text is presented more prominently than real text, as in the article.


They are, but you don't have to use those features. I think you can disable the summarizer as well.

To wit, the few queries I've thrown at !fast were pretty inaccurate.


Why is that bad?


Because Kagi is doing what Google was in 2008; taking a query and returning links as results. Indexing the web doesn't need an LLM.

Google needs an LLM because they have a business need to answer the question for you, thus keeping you on Google.


It's not the same. Kagi is trying out multiple products including ones that depend on LLMs (eg. a summarizer). But they're not changing the core web search product by inserting these alternate features. If they do, I'll cancel my subscription and I think others will, too. Since Kagi is supported by user subscriptions instead of ads, they'll have to pay attention to that or collapse.


"ChatGPT didn't enable this creepy thing, it just made it easier" isn't the flex you think it is.


It didn’t make it easier.
