I use the Safari extension Redirect Web with this configuration:

Redirect From:

^https://www\.google\.com/search\?q=(.*?)\&.*$

Redirect To:

https://kagi.com/search?q=$1

Sometimes it flashes the Google results before loading Kagi but overall it works pretty well.


Redirect web is a pretty neat app. Does exactly what it says on the tin and isn’t intrusive. I use it to bring back i.reddit.com with a nice homegrown regex


CEO Transition Announcement: April 25, 2024

OpenIA, in a pivotal board decision, has announced the termination of its current CEO. This bold move reflects the company’s commitment to aligning its leadership with its founding principles of responsible and ethical AI research and development.

Current Stats Post-CEO Change:

• AI Power: 100.0 (maintained with a focus on ethical applications) • Cash Reserves: $950,000,000 (after transition costs) • Employee Count: 1,000 (steadfast in their mission) • Profits: Stable (ethical AI solutions continue to be in demand) • Cofounder’s Morale: Renewed (embracing a new chapter) • Userbase: 8 billion (engaged and supportive of the change)

Immediate Actions:

• Appoint an Interim CEO - A leader aligned with ethical AI development. • Reevaluate Company Strategies - Ensure alignment with ethical standards and social impact. • Strengthen AI Ethics Committee - Reinforce the company’s commitment to responsible AI. • Community Engagement - Increase transparency and involve public discourse in AI development. • Global AI Ethics Summit - Host a summit to set new standards in AI governance and ethics.

Moving Forward: OpenIA, under new leadership, is poised to redefine its role as a leader in AI, focusing on innovations that prioritize the betterment of humanity and adhere to the highest ethical standards.

As OpenIA enters this new era, what initiatives or directions would you prioritize to ensure its success and alignment with ethical AI development?


*Crisis Management: April 26, 2024*

OpenIA faces a major internal crisis. The CEO's departure, coupled with the threat of mass resignations and the loss of the AGI project, has plunged the company into turmoil. The board's decision has sparked a widespread backlash among employees who demand their reversal.

*Critical Stats During Crisis:* - AI Power: 100.0 (at risk due to AGI project uncertainty) - Cash Reserves: $950,000,000 (facing potential destabilization) - Employee Count: 1,000 (on the verge of resigning) - Profits: At risk (due to potential loss of talent and technology) - Cofounder's Morale: Critical (facing unprecedented challenges) - Userbase: 8 billion (concerned about the company's future)

*Urgent Actions Needed:* 1) *Negotiate with Employees* - Address their concerns and negotiate a resolution. 2) *Attempt to Retain the AGI Project* - Negotiate with the outgoing CEO or develop a contingency plan. 3) *Board Restructuring* - Consider restructuring the board to align with company values and employee sentiments. 4) *Transparency Initiative* - Communicate openly with all stakeholders about the current situation and future steps. 5) *Emergency Recruitment Plan* - Prepare for the worst-case scenario of mass resignations.

*Critical Decision Point:* With the company at a crossroads, decisive and strategic actions are crucial to navigate this crisis. The choices made now will shape OpenIA's future.

In this critical moment, what steps would you take to stabilize OpenIA and guide it back on track towards its vision of ethical and responsible AI development?


Driving with headphones is illegal in 17 states. Can Tesla's Autopilot hear a horn or siren?


I mean what would you expect it to do with that data? When a person hears a siren it's a signal to check their mirrors for emergency vehicles. Auto pilot doesn't need to check mirrors, it always has a 360 view of its surroundings.

Of all the potential criticisms of fsd this is an odd one.

Would this type of weapon be able to shoot satellites right out of the sky?


It doesn't take much power to shoot a satellite out of the sky. The hard part is actually hitting it.

Let's say you're aiming at a GPS satellite in geostationary orbit. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit) you're trying to hit a target that is 20,000 miles up in the sky moving at about mach 10, and the target is the size of a car. We don't have the tech for that kind of dumb-fire accuracy, even if you fire the gun from above the atmosphere. At 20,000 miles, you would need to reliably place a shot within slightly less than 1/1000th of an arcsecond.

In order to hit a target under those conditions, you would need a projectile that can do course corrections on the way to the target. Like a missile.


I did something a little bit similar when I made www.eaisy.com. I like a minimal interface.


That’s really nice. My only gripe is that I find the definition font really hard to read.


Right, and iron horses will never replace real ones in farming because they are too heavy and use up too much coal.

Take a look into graphene-based supercapacitors. It _is_ possible to charge an electric car in a few minutes. It's just a matter of time. [and no, we're not talking EEStor. We're talking multiple research universities actively looking into the technology. Angstron Materials is one.]


It's a nice thought but there's just one catch. This new interface makes it difficult for new applications to be 'discovered', especially if they're not chosen by Apple to be shown near the top of the stack.

Yes, it will force developers to do better App store SEO, but that's not what we want. We want users to be able to use apps that have better design. To me this new layout makes it harder for users to compare apps, and thus makes it harder for them to find the ones that are the most well-designed.

If, as you say, the users naturally gravitate toward using more well-designed apps, then what's wrong with the current system? If I were you, I would worry that your new app -- even if it's revolutionary, even if it's the prettiest App in the App Store -- would be stuck at the bottom of the list, because Apple chose to dedicate more space to the flashy apps that are already ranked first.
