Sorry, I can't say. I always stayed near the water for work as a dive master or ESL teacher, so I never made it to Laos.

Spent significant time in Vietnam & Cambodia & Thailand. Cambodia is a sad country full of desperate people. "less-policed" is the entire country. ~50 years since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide.

Vietnam was by far my favorite of the three and the contrast between the three countries is stark.

Might happen. I told my entire family I would not support their windows installs past 10 and 11 is full of spyware. Half bought a mac and half opted to install Linux. IF all you want to do is a browser. Linux is honestly very easy to use.

It isn't just the $ savings. It is indentured servitude. I have more than one friend that quit the day they got their green card.

This exactly, having ran very large scraping operations, it only takes a slight increase in cost to make it unprofitable for many use cases.

Better suited for discouraging scraping. 2 cents * 300 scrapes = $6 although 2 cents is huge over estimation and you would probably not show this every time. Only when there is unusual traffic.

Great search engine. I use it daily via SearXNG and an API key. Maintainer is very friendly.

What did you have nothing but TBills, TIPS? Not quite sure what you have where you could just sell them. But, ya, bit silly as your money is still in USD. Nothing is happening to US bonds or there are bigger problems and all your investments are at risk.

I am not GPU poor and don't care about speed. I care about how good the model is which is much harder to measure and much harder to do. I have not seen many independent reviews. There are finally some coming out now but a lot of this is just marketing hype to drive attention. Every AI company does it.

Where is the source code for the extension itself?

I like yours better. I can't even find the source for Mozilla's and yours does not have google analytics.

So much spam around this model. LocalLLaMA is stuffed with spam posts and even hacker news is getting spammed. Who has actually ran this model and verified performance? Does anyone know of a decent review from a trustworthy source?

Kroger is 7.3% & Albertsons is 4.5% according to GlobalData. Varies a little by source but that is approx correct.

But that misses the consumer picture, grocery is very regional and in many markets these two are 100% of offerings, hence why the deal required them to sell a bunch of stores.

This is great news! I live near Kroger HQ and have been following the case closely Both of these companies are in the S&P 500 and have plenty of negation power with suppliers without merging. Both are profitable companies. This was not a win for consumers and I am not convinced it was even a win for the companies themselves as it required them to give up ~10% of their stores.

I'm excited to test the final model. This could be a major breakthrough for open-source LLMs.

It reminds me of encryption in 90s in the US. Motivation is different but I could see outcome being similar, driving development out of Europe. Interesting history read IMO: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/04/remembering-case-estab... & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy
