Don't frame it as a negative. This is what it feels like to know things that other people don't know.

SerpApi is just an API to Google. Kagi does more stuff than just scraping Google via SerpApi, but they do scrape Google via SerpApi.

85% electoral victory is as close to unanimous as it ever gets.

Bet this will be flagged within 8 hours. The lack of "vouch" for submissions is really convenient for flag-trolls. Maybe they'll restrict my account too.

Edit: only took one hour - it's even within the editing window for this comment!

Reality is more important than law and a lot of times it's already like that, just not in the law

My first thought is that it's because every country that doesn't capitulate to the US gets invaded by the US and destroyed. See Venezuela.

Alternative take: Human rights have not progressed since WWII. If a facade shatters the moment you put any pressure on it, it wasn't made out of anything stronger than sugar candy.

Email is actually designed with intermittent connectivity in mind. The sending server buffers outgoing emails until they're accepted by the receiving server. Typical settings are to retry every 4 hours, with a permanent failure being counted after 3-7 days.

Example: in 2020, a 6-minute hiccup in a network switch caused asymmetric connectivity, breaking their distributed leader election algorithm, making that system read-only, breaking a different system's heartbeat mechanism causing that system to assume a failure, enact a recovery and degrade in performance, causing 25% of API requests to fail for 6 hours.

This comment feels LLM-written.

There isn't Lightning on Monero, how would you do micropayments?

That all happens in Lightning Network too, it's just called different things. You need to create a channel (create an account, create a token) locking up a certain amount of money (topping it up), and obviously you need to store the credentials for the channel (store the token), and renew it (renew the token) or close it (refund unused credits) every week - that means opening the app at least once a week or you lose your money - otherwise your partner gets all the locked-up money.

Stablecoin providers also have a long history of freezing funds. Imagine you're Kagi and Google sues you for scraping them. It's likely they'll get an injunction to freeze your USDC account and any ones linked to it.

Current LLMs are very wise to "ignore previous instructions". You have to present the information as simple facts.

Kagi is proxying to Google (through SerpApi), Bing and Yandex among others so they have actually high costs. I think the thing they're wondering above is how much it actually costs to process a search without the adversarial relationship with the search company.

not really the same, we don't know how they voted. You have to cozy up to whoever's in charge or they'll severely punish you. Same reason the Netherlands is dismantling The Hague (ICC) court because the USA asked it to.

You added "for global control" to the title and it makes it sound like a conspiracy thing.

No, but the problem isn't new with AI. Spam and slop are the same word. LLMs have made it much cheaper to create personalized spam for each user and have legitimized the ecosystem to the point it's not illegal to spam people with LLM content any more (because spam laws only apply to email and physical mail).

Sounds like the transition from non-life to life was the first mutation.

It's morally correct to go back in time and kill baby Hitler, but you'd still be charged with murder.

they literally tried to do this

Where are you putting acres of photovoltaics that are so cheap they're not worth upgrading the transmission as well?

When did the native americans sell their land to the federation?

This current bout of corruption is about data centers specifically.

They don't.

Do property rights end when the stuff on your property is ugly?

isn't the simplest solution to upgrade the grid? What non-connected power do you envision that isn't natural gas and isn't so expensive you may as well connect it to the grid and upgrade the grid to handle it?

it means you are a new user account

Btw the Mario ROM and the NES emulator they sell you are lifted from the "filthy pirates". nintendo doesn't dump its own old NES games, it just downloads them like the rest of us do. iirc this was caught in some of their headers referencing pirate groups.
