   And if you do follow these arrests you'll notice that it's old-fashioned investigations that catch them, by tracing behavior, log in times, etc. The comment I was answering was implying you lose anonymity by using these tools, which you don't

   Viewing corporations as amoral bots that are justified in squeezing every bit of profit out of humans is exactly what is wrong with our society. Someone in a big tech was the inventor of this dark pattern and they think they're awesome for finding a loophole in the well-meaning regulation, at the cost of the costumer they supposedly should serve. That person is the problem, and so are the people that followed them

   > And most of the steps people do to mitigate privacy violations (TOR, pihole, VPNs, etc.) probably make any signal you do put out more scrutinized.

   If you're using them correctly there is no way to scrutinize your traffic more, these comments just spread FUD for no good reason. How are "they" unable to catch darkweb criminals for years and even decades, but somehow can tell if it's me browsing reddit over Tor?

   Nowadays there are tournament matches with no resignations allowed, so setting stalemate traps may be more common from now on.

   Excited for stuff like this as a CRPG player. A possible future for designing a crpg NPC might be to write a bunch of memories, descriptions, likes and dislikes, etc. in text instead of trying to convey those through branching dialogue.

   Teens are way more excited than adults at seeing this stuff, as well, so we can expect engagement to increase the dirtier the content shown gets

   This content isn't as overt as it may seem, maybe you did come across it and just didn't notice flashing. Those "in the know", generally younger people whose friends told them about flashtok, know what to look for

   I've seen it called "agentic search" while RAG seems to have become synonymous with semantic search via embeddings

    The results are interesting for showing the efficacy of small, fine-tuned models that can be run locally. AI providers as a business need their do-all models to be better than these if they want long-term revenue through the APIs, right?
11. mvieira38 Sep 30, 2025 parent

    Yeah, I agree. The entire value/fact dichotomy that the announcement bases itself on is a pretty hot philosophical topic I lean against Kagi on. It's just impossible to summarize any text without imparting some sort of value judgement on it, therefore "biasing" the text
12. mvieira38 Sep 30, 2025 parent

    Yes, that's what it is. Kagi as a brand is LLM-optimist, so you may be fundamentally at odds with them here... If it lessens the issue for you, the sources of each item are cited properly in every example I tried, so maybe you could treat it as a fancy link aggregator

    The UX seems genuinely good
16. mvieira38 Sep 24, 2025 parent

    Legally, you mean? Because I'd say most reasonable people would say a literal wire on your phone is pretty personal. Location is PID too if they store the data at all

    Have you tried Polars in Python? When you get going it's pretty similar to tidyverse, except you're chaining methods instead of piping, and it's lazily evaluated + parallel because of the underlying Rust engine. IME it's tidyverse > polars > pandas > data.table in terms of ergonomics
19. mvieira38 Sep 19, 2025 parent

    How is Julia in terms of data science dev experience? Nothing ever felt as good as the R+tidyverse combo to me, at least in Python.
20. mvieira38 Sep 19, 2025 parent

    Agree 100% on tidyverse becoming part of the standard library. Some of the language's greatest libraries (like Hyndman's forecasting stuff) basically assume you're using tidyverse already

    Well, the supposed PhD-level models are still pretty dumb when they get to consumers, so what gives?

    This has been my experience even in Cursor. I often select the GPT-5 option because I know it will "know" better how much reasoning effort it needs
24. mvieira38 Sep 10, 2025 parent

    Just to be clear, are you saying that to know something:

    1- You may remember only the initial state and the brain does the rest, like with mnemonics

    2- You may remember only the initial steps towards a solution, like knowing the assumptions and one or two insights to a mathematical proof?

    I'd say a Zettlekasten user would agree with you if you mean 1

    The "fullstack 1 week bootcamp", "learn TypeScript in 6 hours", overpayed generation was bound to breed incompetence. When people began openly embracing overemployment at a senior level it should have become clear how easy those jobs were

    > This is most noticeable in open source contributions. Sometimes I'll get a pull request with like 2 lines of change and 120 lines of some reformating tool.

    This wouldn't happen nearly as much if you had a defined set of formatting rules plugged into CI instead of chaos
