Our nearest Pizza Hut delivers via Doordash whether you order direct or through DD, but if you order direct its 30% cheaper. I’m not sure who’s eating the markup.

I recognized the name AU10TIX, because I half-joked on Lemmy about a potential mass doxxing of Xitter’s most vile users back in September when they announced the partnership. I assumed they’d be a target for ransomware/hackers, not that they’d just leave their admin creds out in the open.
Clearly that’s what blu-tack is for.
All those letMeGoogleThat links from the 00s have turned into Rick Rolls (figuratively speaking).
“Secure that SSD in a bay and get the faceplate off my butterfly, you monster!” -Buster
I’m taking note of that that combo feather teaser / ball track / butterfly toy. I think my big orange boy would lose his mind over that.
I can sort of see the appeal, but its not for me. If anything is ever going to rename files for me its going to be a script that I’ve either written or at least read top to bottom. Not a blackbox inference engine, and especially not one based on an LLM.
Yeah, the headline sort of reads like Ars is daring Google to remove the flag.
But they specifically said in their blog post that it has “privacy you can trust.” Just imagine all the trust you have in Microsoft plus all the trust you have in the accuracy of AI and rest easy. Plus the AI runs locally so they can trust you to pay the power bill.
Don’t think about how much money they could make with their business customers, based on telemetry alone.
The Brennan monorail rides again!
Some of this technology may sound a bit “over-ambitious,” but keep in mind the project was inspired by a fully functional self-balancing monorail that mechanical engineer Louis Brennan designed and demonstrated back in the early 1900s.
Are we taking bets on how long it will be before Google Search ends up on killedbygoogle,com?
When I was running a site, I had special rules in my firewall to look for things that said they were googlebot but which didn’t come from one of googles published public IPs.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I do worry that google is eventually going infect the APIs that metasearch engines like DDG, Kagi, searchxng, etc depend on.
In my experience, a lot of the sysadmins who run high traffic sites will treat all bots as scrapers that have to be blocked or slowed to a crawl. Then they make special allowances for googlebot, bing/msnbot, and a few others. That means there is a massive uphill climb (beyond the technical one) to making a new search engine from scratch. With Google and MS both betting the farm on LLMs I fear we’re going to lose access to two of the most valuable web reverse indexes out there.
Checks out. Swarm of bees is in the monster manual
If I had 25 surprise desktops I imagine I’d discover a long dormant need for a Beowulf cluster.
I’m curious about that too. Something is twisting weights for 57 fairly strongly in the model but I’m not show what. Maybe its been trained on a bunch of old Heinz 57 varieties marketing.
If you discount the pop-culture numbers (for us 7, 42, and 69) its the number most often chosen by people if you ask them for a random number between 1 and 100. It just seems the most random one to choose for a lot of people. Veritasium just did a video about it.
37 is well represented. Proof that we’ve taught AI some of our own weird biases.
There’s not much to it. Under settings in Kagi there’s a tab for “Lenses.” Make sure “Fediverse Forums” is turned on.
Then, after you search, you can filter from a broad web search to any of your enabled lenses.
I started using Kagi a few months before $10 became unlimited queries.
When I first switched I’d still, occasionally, swap back to google using bangs because I had to unlearn all the hacks I had to make Google turn up useful things. Now I can’t go back, Google is unsable without those hacks. Its barely usable with them.
Plus Kagi has a “fediverse forum” lens that lets me search Lemmy much more effectively than Lemmy’s search.
Good to know. Thanks for the breakdown.
