Because you can choose which index you want to use and then you can compare it against bing?

Check out Uruky Check my comment ^ for a writeup.

unglueclass23 @programming.dev 7d ago

Uruky I've been using them for a few months, this interview is what made me switch. It's a small team of 2 people (a guy and his wife), they have a handful of search indexes (EUSP, Linkup, Serper, Marginalia, Mojeek, PriEco, Mwmbl), and you can customize which of them you want to use.

I use EUSP index and I have to say it's pretty good, it finds MOST things i'm looking for and when it doesn't, at the bottom of the page there's "Try with Linkup / Serper / Mojeek / Marginalia" so you can click around and see if the other indexes match something that your main one missed. And at the top there's "Try in Ecosia / Google / DuckduckGo" (I sometimes use DDG and Ecosia).

In the settings there's lots of customization options for the UI.

They've been clear they won't include AI at all in this search engine.

You can pay with crypto, cash or card.

They are EU-based (EU servers, EU storage, EU payment processing, EU search providers) (Mojeek is based in UK, but whatever).

They have bangs and you can enable DDG / Kagi bangs.

You can create your own web fallback engines (like they have ddg/ ecosia/ google) by default.

You're not required to give out your personal details when registering, you literally only get an account number.

5 eur / month.

Yeah idk I just like it. It's minimal and does what I need, they've been adding new features and it feels good supporting big tech independent search indexes, services.

A year or two back when I tried independent search indexes they were all pretty bad and I concluded you can't really avoid using Bing / Google indexes. But now? EUSP is veeery decent and in combination with the other, smaller ones they cover a lot of ground. I would say it's in the same tier as Bing, but slightly worse than Google. But for 90% of the searches ? It's good enough and you can always just use Ecosia when you need Google or Serper index (directly in Uruky).

I see people mention Kagi.

I used Kagi for 3 months when they gave me a free trial maybe a year back. It's a good product and probably the best search engine out there. However, it's also more expensive than Uruky (10$/ month) and more importantly they use Yandex as one of their search indexes.. They've also removed all mentions of this fact from their help pages. They also use brave index. You can't choose to not use them and in general they havent been very transparent about the whole thing (as to how much they use each index)

By the way Ecosia relies on Google, not bing. They've switched quite a long time ago.

It's not paywalled. They just require to log in. Overall 404media is pretty solid.

I don't use Claude, so I am not familiar with their UI, but back when I used another service I would find myself occasionally accidentally toggling some threads to "public" and making them sharable with a link. Even if this is unlikely, considering the huge userbase they have, it would still be a significant number of "leaked" threads.

In fucked up places, people just live day to day and are in survival mode. I believe I have once read something that goes along the lines of “poorer demographics generally have tendency to make more children because they think that more children is the most sure way to secure their near future for when they get older”

I think it's simpler than that. Nothing to do when you're poor and overworked so you just fuck. Oh, and less caring about the consequences.

Yeah it was funny to read :

“Based on the limited nature of the customer information believed to be involved, we determined that individual notifications were not warranted under applicable privacy laws,” the Suno spokesperson added.

But then (talking about the hacker):

They said they also accessed Suno’s customer list, which included customers’ emails and/or phone numbers and Stripe payment details, depending on what they used to login. The hacker provided a sample of some of the customers, some of whom confirmed to 404 Media they had used their phone number to sign up for Suno and said they were never notified of a breach.

I guess email address, phone and payment details don't matter enough to notify people.

unglueclass23 @programming.dev 3w ago

Yeah.

The lawsuits have made clear that Suno did train on huge amounts of copyrighted works, but the hacked data shared with 404 Media sheds more light on how Suno scraped songs from the internet and where it took them from.

By the way here are the results of the votes:

July 7th: https://mepwatch.eu/10/vote.html?v=195338&country=&eugroup=

July 9: https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/195775

One thing that I don't understand is:

On July 7 there was a vote for this urgent vote to take place. 303 were against, 331 were for, (- 28 people) (so it passed)

Today (July 9th) the actual vote for this law took part. 314 were against, 276 were for (+38) (yet still passed).

Please tell me why MEP's voted for this urgent vote to take place and then later (on July 9th) voted against it ?? Were they misled or something?

My browser clears all cookies from Reddit when I close it down. And every time I go to the new Reddit site, it auto logs me in with my Google account. In some other sites there's the annoying "log in with google account" popup at the top; it doesn't do anything if you don't click to log in. But Reddit doesn't ask. Just says: "Logging you in" and you can click cancel if you're fast enough.

They even auto create you an account if they do this for the first time.

Awhile ago they were also experimenting forcing mobile users to use the app

And now they're also rolling out age verification in the EU (just got an email yesterday). One of the ways to verify your age is with Persona which Discord also tried to use and got a lot of backslash.

What's the difference between single vs double quotes?

unglueclass23 @programming.dev 1mo ago

I use bash and it did throw that error, however the find . | egrep *.py example at the end did not.

I could never get much into online gaming because it’s a full time job keeping up with the meta and if you are not highly skilled you are just cannon fodder.

Some, yes, but certainly not all of them.

I've been playing The Finals and it's a great casual game. I think I average like 6 hours a week or something. The matches are short, toxicity is low and its fun. Most of its player-base are casuals, a lot of console players. And it's designed in a way that even if you have bad teammates or lose you can still have a lot of fun since the main game-mode is 3v3v3 or 3v3v3v3, has fun movement and a completely destructible environment. Just blowing shit up is enough enjoyment on its own.
