But does it really surprise you? Sounds spot on to me.

That explains a lot actually.

Honestly this fixation on CEO salary is a bit silly, most of them are getting rich from stock, not salary.

Is this a monthly thing now?

Interesting. I looked it up and found this, so it looks like it's some hybrid of many sources:

Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

At the very least, it's no better than the alternatives any more. Whenever I put Duck Duck Go up against Google, I get very similar results, other than all the extra ads on Google.

Yes these kind of transactions really need to be hand coded to be handled well. LLM's are very poorly suited to this kind of thing (though I doubt you were dealing with an LLM at Chipotle just yet).

I remember using a DEC Alpha back in the late '90s. It was the fastest computer I had ever used by a long shot and I had access to most of the hardware from IBM, Sun, HP, etc at the time. It was an absolute monster.

Also my first connection to the internet in 1993 was via a VAX.

I will always have fond memories of DEC.

I turn off the option to show viewed posts.

I think crossposting is okay as it should take care of duplicates to the end user, right?

I've worked in this field for 25 years and don't think that ChatGPT by itself can handle most workloads, even if it's trained on them.

There are usually transactions which must be done and often ad hoc tasks which end up being the most important things because when things break, you aren't trained for them.

If you don't have a feedback loop to solve those issues, your whole business may just break without you knowing.

I'd pay some reasonable subscription, say $1 a month to the maintainer of lemm.ee for the promise to keep my data safe. To Zuck and Elon absolutely not.
