On: Show HN: Uruky (EU-based Kagi alternative) now has Image Search and URL Rewrites

> We won't have Generative AI, sorry.

You're taking a stance? In this economy?

This is a bug plus in my book, and it is, besides being Europe-based, the reason I've been donating to Vivaldi for the past 18 months. I signed up for Uruky just last week, but I sense I'll stick around for much longer. Please continue being awesome!

Next thing you're gonna tell us you're SRE at GitHub.

On: Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore

It does appear that way, but when you click on register you get an account valid for one day, without having to fill in any data whatsoever.

Just this morning I was helplessly looking at r/ecosia for a way to get rid of the new AI tab they've added (there's no way). Signed up for Uruky, let's see how it fares.

Thanks! Reach out for any suggestions, questions, or comments!

[prism56 → BrunoBernardino]

Does it index new reddit content? I refuse to use Google, DDG doesn't seem to surface much new reddit content.

Currently settled on Kagi but the price is a little steep, happy to support EU based services.

My wife did just share she recently gets reddit at the top of long-tail searches, and I _believe_ her primary search provider is Mojeek.

[BrunoBernardino → BrunoBernardino]

I said recently, but I meant "frequently". Too late to edit, now.

[BrunoBernardino → prism56]

I'm sure some of our providers do, but I can check, if you don't want to. What would be a search that would reveal that?

[yegg → prism56]

We (DuckDuckGo) does if you add reddit to the query; that forces our reddit module to show.

On: Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI

[thesdev]

I hope he appeals. Not cheering for Musk, cheering for the fight.

[enraged_camel → thesdev]

There's nothing to appeal. Statute of limitations is... just that.

[lowkey_ → enraged_camel]

IANAL but civil statute of limitations is based on when the prosecuting party reasonably discovered they were wronged and had legal recourse, not when the event happened. It is entirely possible to debate when that was in this case.

[paulpauper → enraged_camel]

For criminal cases at least, the statue of limitations is not set in stone. But probably for civil, its much more cut and dry.

[mrhottakes → paulpauper]

Criminal law actually has very specific statutes of limitation as well, depending on the crime.

[lapetitejort → thesdev]

Cross examination is one of the vanishingly few times you can see billionaires and executives act like human beings instead of sentient PR scripts.

[ActorNightly → thesdev]

There is nothing that comes out of this fight. Open AI has lost to Anthropic and Google already. And Musk needs to be in prison.

[mrhottakes → thesdev]

It would just burn more cash unless he can somehow go back in time and change the facts.

[thesdev → mrhottakes]

If anyone can afford burning cash for his ego it's the richest man in the world with the biggest ego in the world.

[hoppyhoppy2 → mrhottakes]

Yes, and more burnt cash (and hopefully emotional energy) would be an acceptable outcome

Musk's pinned tweet:

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality.

There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!

I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.

OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.

Didn't a judge order they need to keep all chats because of the NYT case? Has the situation changed?

[thesdev]

Copilot is anything you want it to be inside Microsoft. Heck even Office is Copilot nowadays.

Seems to be their "Watson."

On: From stealth blackout to whitelisting: Inside the Iranian shutdown

[thesdev]

What the parent said. Our government has the right to kill its own people, and in thousands at that, nothing for you to see here /s

Parent is what we call a cyber soldier in Iran. They probably were on the streets in the past weeks shooting at protesters.

On: Just the Browser

[thesdev]

And then in the same article he goes to write that Firefox "will evolve into a modern AI browser", which makes AI sound like an intrinsic trait. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence if you ask me.
