kashifshah,

Haha, yes, it actually is available at this time.

I can package it up and send it to you for informational purposes, but please don’t attempt to recreate the bug, as we have all seen the Reanimator, haven’t we?

kashifshah,

you are very welcome! i’ll see what i can do about creating more, but this one had me laughing out loud once i figured out why the jetson wouldn’t boot anymore heh

like something out of a history book :D

kashifshah,

no, am i not supposed to mention nVidia?

kashifshah,

Ah, gotcha - the Jetson devices are definitely robowife capable lol. I suspect it is mostly used for things like AI enabled electronic devices, but it is possible to use ROS for robotics!

kashifshah,

What would rise from the ashes?

kashifshah,

Well, then, you better start handing out hazmat suits and respirators to everyone before you start burning.

kashifshah,

Disappointment is the feeling that I experience when looking at the right-side-up flag, so I feel for ya.

After using the trial for a month and reaching the limit, i decided to pay for the $108/yr unlimited searches.

Kagi did statistical analysis before assigning pricing (it was a long process that they would update us on while they gave us leniency on the quotas). They found that 300 per month was the sweet spot for a lot of regular people that might only search a few times a week or others that might only occasionally do deep dives.

edit: fixed an error, but also adding: no, i exclusively use kagi now on all my devices. give it a test run, it is dramatically different from ddg and googhell

kashifshah,

Indeed, similarly it is fine to ignore the downvotes in this post lol.

asklemmy isn’t news.ycombinator, afterall.

kashifshah,

Awesome, that’s exactly the type of feedback from a professional that I was looking for - I feel almost exactly the same.

Other than I feel a little bit fanboy-ish now lol.

kashifshah, (edited )

Wrong, retired software engineer here.

Some people use search for more than finding recipes and google has been sucking at professional search for a while now, as has been repeatedly reported at Hacker News

kashifshah, (edited )

Well, it’s only $108/yr for unlimited searches.

And I used to use search engines professionally for work (think potentially hundereds of searches per day, sometimes), so it’s easy for me to justify paying for quality.

But according the data, most regular folk won’t search more than 300 times per month. Some days you might search more, some you might search less, you know?

kashifshah, (edited )

It’s only $108/yr for unlimited searches, if you actually need that many. I’m a retired software engineer and search all the time, so I just went with the unlimited plan, but most people don’t actually search more than 300 times a month.

edt: also, you do get what you pay for. the search results are dramatically different - it’s easy to do a test search and compare the results.

kashifshah,

We appreciate you, ignore those downvotes lol, you’re still getting upvotes.

kashifshah, (edited )

heh, you should see it now - they’ve expanded the features.

i’ll take a look at the controversy, thanks.

edit: skimmed it, looks like contrived controversy to me - a rather unprofessional software reviewer that isn’t willing to engage with their subject? no thanks… but to each their own.

Psychological projection at work, there, folks.

Since you actually were the one that failed to understand what “impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” means within Article 19, UNUDHR, and you subconsciously knew you didn’t understand what you were reading, but your brain couldn’t handle that scary fact, so you instead turn it around and projected it onto me.

It’s like your brain is doing “i’m rubber, you’re glue” without you actually wanting to do it on purpose.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

kashifshah,

Thanks!

kashifshah,

Ok fascist

kashifshah,

they ‘commit suicide’, or commit a crime that gets them sent to prison in Siberia

Like I said, arguably. Show me some data that says that the opposition has grown above 25% (arbitrary, you may understand what I mean) and then I’ll come down on the side that he probably doesn’t speak for the majority of the country.

That’s like asking if Texas can choose to secede. They can not. Nor can the rest of the US vote to expel Texas without triggering a constitutional crisis.

The only way that they can secede is if we make a constitutional amendment to allow states to secede, yes. Personally, I’d vote for letting Texas secede, if they wanted to.

Now, if an entire country votes to allow a region of their country to be annexed, then sure. Even if elections in Crimea were free and fair–and the evidence strongly suggests that most of the people voting were coerced–it would need to be all of Ukraine voting to allow the annexation.

Now we are seeing eye-to-eye, Helix - that’s pretty much my point. There are diplomatic avenues to solve this problem, so maybe Ukraine can solve the whole thing, in the interest of preventing future wars. I say “solve” in the sense that they may be able to negotiate a plan for how to handle this in the future for the whole old Soviet bloc.

concern trolling

No argument with this paragraph, I agree, in principle.

The whole thing reeks of Putin trolling the West.

rather than the victim accepting a little victimizing

Point taken, however, instead of a little victimizing (by way of that hypothetical peaceful path that we outlined earlier) they are now getting a lot of victimizing (vis a vis, death and destruction).

Again, for the sake of argument, assuming that Russia itself was victimized during the fall of the USSR, and assuming that Putin is seeking to redress that, rather than him trying to take over the whole old-bloc, then is there any other peaceful path?

if we assume that he is trying to take over the whole old-bloc, then I’d be entirely in agreement with you on this topic.

I’m just not willing to make blanket assumptions like that - I prefer the probabilistic approach.

Thanks, by the way, for taking the time to discuss this with me. I’ll keep replying if you do.

kashifshah,

Unfortunately, not yet, my synthdiy skill is still introductory. I do have an idea of what filter I’d like to build (Steiner-Parker, but it’s in a queue with a slow rate of dequeue, right now :/
