I would use it if it gives marker for time-to-respond, time-to-hire etc metrics. Metrics not from the company but verified and from others.

Is this any better than just doing Hotspot with wifi bridge? I just have my hotspot on my pixel for my devices to connect to. Pixel itself is connected to whatever "public wifi" is there.

for postgres specifically pgbackrest works well. Using in a home doing backups to r2 and local s3.

Android phones are not inherently linked to a google account, atleast not in the same way an iPhone is.

I can second 3blue1brown as intro, but anything practical needs practise. Get your local 12th grade or undergrad math book which has problems to solve will bring more focus and faster learning. Have a list of problems to solve in your head while learning theory has been faster for me than just learning theory.

Browser handling is way more personal than any other piece of software. It need not be open source licensed but being able to compile and install it from source the exact binary (minus signing) is a huge plus is today's world. Otherwise is "not" doing much from chrome, brave, firefox etc of today. Open source would be cherry on top.

Trust of Kagi search is already there w.r.t both the tool and the company but it is not transferable to Trust to the Orion Browser.

Quantum compute would definite make a leap to moving closer to AGI. Calculating probability vector is very natural for quantum computer or more precisely any analog compute system would do. qubits==size(vocab) with some acceptable precision would work i believe.

Maybe it is the algorithms. But just by doing a op for an 10^25 param llm is definitely not feasible on todays hardware. Emergent properties does happen at high density. Emergent properties might even look as AGI.

LMAO! That Bruce Almighty reference had me rolling. Good one.

AGI might be possible with more Param+Data scaling for LLM. It is not completely within the realm of impossible given that there is no proof yet of "limits" of LLM. Current limitation is definitely on the hardware side.

Starting with an isolated POC showing the vector being exploited would help. I like gooogle project zero mainly for this.

The condescension is coming from "We want to make sure we trully understand what you're struggling with." which is completely dismissing the points they made in the post. Basics "surely there is more to it than just what is in the post". A better response would have responded with actions/talking points to the items listed in the post. Then asking for a call for further clarification of the respondents point.

one thing which causes problem with git for me is collaborative work without using "git server". This usually comes up at homelab situation with no access a "git server" or ssh server. One thing with jj is i can use existing sharing mechanism like dropbox, google drive or if nothing else just copying jj folder (granted all of those are bad idea w.r.t vcs but still).

EV Certs used to do exactly that for me, that is until browser stopped make the visuals of it special. Don't think it would be even viable today given the short expiry (which is a good thing) of TLS certs necessary for browser

Maybe AI doing rebase, code chunking and commits will help? This kinda makes sense. Reviewable+mergables chunks do make the code way faster to merge.

Does anyone know a low memory disk based search solution for home usage? By low memory i mean in the range of 256MB maybe 1GB. I am almost convinced of mellisearch but still looking. Elasticsearch would have been perfect but the memory usage is too high for the server i have.

Or should i go with a custom solution? FYI the search is highly dynamic ranging from full books, medical records, chat messages to movie/shopping/recipe catalogue.

By having a 5 min group meeting where only the manager speaks. Manager is not allowed to talk about what direction the team should go and what the team should do. Anything else will give instant insights on whats going on at the isolated top.

Kagi is not mentioned true, but there are always talks w.r.t using site, intitle, time (before 2018 eg) filter to improve search. That indirectly can be considered as "having low quality" from one POV.
