  • I hope sonething better comes along because google ruined their search engine a decade ago. stract.com is probabky the closest to what google used to be.

    As for chatgpt, it is not an index. It cannot refer you back to infornation it was trained on because it doesn’t build a massive indexed internet database.

    It has some method of probable relations and conglomerarion of input. It is why it “hallucinates” information output, because it doesn’t “know” what is wrong or right info, it just fetches data based on probabilities of connections.

    It is good at suggesting new music or movies based on your list of media you like, but it is terrible with actual factual info


  • Starts with NO wildlife will kill you, describes all the ones that can ;)

    It is like Canada, we have Bears, Wolves, Moose and Polar Bears, etc.

    Stay out of their way and you will be fine, they aren’t actively scouting homes to kill people.















  • The first release of 10 made my old laptop useless, so much delay it was not possible to perform real work. I switched that old thing to NixOS now it is like a new machine hosting web meetings, getting spreadsheet work done. All our work customers complained when the W10 upgrade happened by their IT departments, their engineering CAD suddenly took a performance hit. Just frustrating because tech is supposed to get better not worse.
