And, as with any standardized hardware, it’s a lot easier to ensure games and services (like Proton) perform reliably.

Time will tell if this sells enough, but it could become the new standard for industry benchmarking/testing.

Windows Vista would like a word.

In terms of utility for the average person, statistics >>>>> calculus.

I work in an engineering field, and can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to do an integral in the last year. But I run into glorified statistics problems virtually every day both in personal and professional situations.

Having to constantly remind people of error bars, statistical significance, and the difference between correlation and causation, it would have been nice if those things were hammered home more thoroughly in school.

In theory you could lease your server capacity to the big AI players, but then they would have to trust you -a noted crypto grifter - with their data.

When you enable Privacy Pass, instead of logging in with your Kagi account for each search, you use special cryptographic tokens. These tokens prove you have the right to use Kagi’s services without revealing who you are. This means your searches can’t be linked back to your account or to each other, providing an additional layer of privacy.

Obviously you lose some of the customization, but otherwise still a great service.

I enjoy it. They have a 100-search free trial so you can test it out for yourself. Between them down ranking sites full of trackers and allowing you to put your own preferential ratings on sites, I find myself getting the results I’m after so much quicker.

Then I have great news for you! Kagi accept bitcoin, does not validate email addresses (so you can register as fhhdsbgwg@hrjesbgwgw.com if that appeals to you), and they implemented privacy pass tokens that fully anonymize your searches. They also allows searching through tor!

You are paying for search, just differently.

Ahh, the 'ol 1-day-old account here to troll in the comments.

Also YSK:

Generally speaking you aren’t limited to just what’s at your nearest library. Other nearby libraries (or even those you pass by on travel) may have better/different offerings and will generally welcome folks with open arms.

If they do start adding AI slop it’ll all be cloud hosted, of that I’m certain.

Not sure I have much hope for Nvidia holding back on AI “features” in the long run

Maybe? Hopefully? This makes people ask why its so important to Microsoft for Edge, a “free” service, to be your default browser…

Probably not, but still…

“Quantum emulation” all the hype, 1/1000th the efficiency, 1000X the excuses to sell hardware

Honest question, what are y’all doing on YouTube most days?

I go on about once or twice a month when I need to repair a thing and I can’t find a good written description of how to repair it.

Also I visited the other day to make sure my bluetooth headphones were connected before a call (I watched a video of goats doing goat things for 4s).

I’m curious what content is drawing in folks on Lemmy who probably skew towards my demographic.

Getting the chunks off saves you from having to clean the filter as often (I recognize that’s probably different from “scrubbing”)

My dishes are by no stretch of the imagination clean when they go into the dishwasher, but they also look nothing like what’s in a Cascade™ commercial.

Bought a tire attachment for my air compressor the other day. You’d think I must live in a house with millions of tires to fill based on my product suggestions.

“Like, you really fucking love tires right? Have you heard of these 6 other tire-filling compressor attachments??”

Evidence? From the “most transparent administration”? You must be new here…

Not as doom and gloom but I feel like “We’ll Meet Again” could fit the theme
