I try to contribute to things getting better, with humor, sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.Let's discuss to make things better sustainably.Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • The bangs are the addictive feature for me. You start by typing !w lemmy in the URL bar, with DDG already configured as the default search engine, and DDG will directly serve the search result for this term from Wikipedia. There are hundreds of them like !yt for YouTube or !gm for Google Maps, and the acronyms are intuitive. https://duckduckgo.com/bangs

  • I've been using it for a couple of year now and I only double check Google maybe 1% of the time. And most of those times, I also can't find what I am looking for on Google. I also can't go back after getting used to the ! commands.

  • Ecosia and Qwant are building together an EU based index. Maybe then they will become actually independent alternatives to American giants. It will take a while.

  • There's better integration with all sorts of other sources of truth beyond the LLM training, which makes it seem smarter.

  • Is there any other useful edtech than the FOSS app Anki?

  • It already has a social impact on the people's whose intellectual property was pirated, the employees traumatized by nsfw filtering tasks and the reduction of white collar junior recruitment (probably non junior too?). I know some people think it's just a bubble, companies are waiting to see what happens and the job market will recover. I am doubtful of it.My tech company is pushing us to use it so they provide the top tools. From what I have observed, I have little doubt it will replace a lot of the designing, engineering, coding and communication time. Yes, you will still need some knowledgeable person to guide and review, but less than before. Similarly to how you need less people to build a car today than you did in the 50', and even less for an electric car, because so much more is automated.So far automation and the internet did create more better paid jobs than it destroyed, maybe it will happen with "AI" too, but I am skeptical.Finally, in my opinion, UBI and work time reduction with equivalent quality of life is a desirable future.

  • AI could make sense one day if it comes with UBI to compensate its social impact and if it optimizes enough processes to compensate for its ecological footprint. We are far* from this and there's nowhere enough political pressure to make it happen.

    Jump

  • Interesting, I didn't know it was a cultivar of Oryza sativa subsp. japonica. This is "basic" Japanese rice, which is less expensive than sushi rice. My feeling compared to Italian risotto rice was that I couldn't make it as transparent from sauteing with butter at the beginning and that it needed to absorb more broth to be cooked. I will try with sushi rice next time.
