Wow I guess I am in the minority of folks building a search engine for humans now, this is a wild business model but best of luck to the 3 search index providers sitting behind this proxy, I hope it's worth their while financially speaking. Building an index is hard and expensive (I know).

I hope aup4 is smaller than aup3, because my number one headache with Audacity is file size bloat. Otherwise I love it!

Thanks for the feedback, and that's a great idea I should have done that! They are extracted and added each turn, all handled by the same middleware proxy that also handles the retrievals. I put the full code for that (memory_proxy.py) in the article.

Yes fair point, I often think about that.

Let's not forget that PageRank unintentionally spawned the SEO industry.

If like me you run models locally, it's pretty easy to run your own RAG locally also using a Vector Database like Qdrant for persistence, and a middle-layer like Mem0 for realtime retrial and updates. I documented the set-up steps here: https://leadprompt.sh/a/739-Building-an-Infinite-Memory-Loca...

My review takes a different angle.

Will be interesting to see if they release the weights for local deployments. I love running Flux2 locally via ComfyUI.

Yes you are correct, most are horrible. I built my own as a hobby because I wanted to go back to the "ten blue links" model of the early Internet, but freely admit that model is now dead with the majority of end-users asking their AI assistants instead. Gemini is vital to Google as a result.

Ultimately AI will kill Google's search monopoly, not fines.

It will be interesting to compare this to Flux 2.

Side topic, but that website is awesome.

But they are reducing speed limits also, so this is highly unlikely...

Sorry but I don't speak German, what's the context for that video?

What has got to do with it? Some of them are driving vehicles even larger than SUVs, e.g. tradesmen driving vans, builders with pickups etc.

The obsession with SUVs is classist.

Yes that is literally the only impacts, no unexpected consequences whatsoever...

I would wager it's the usage of payments and ignoring of pedestrian lights by cyclists is a big factor.

As a pedestrian, I've had FAR more encounters with aggressive cyclists than aggressive drivers (also anecdotal). Makes walking downtown more stressful.

If car usage is going down but pedestrian injuries are going up? The pedestrians are not crashing into one another with greater frequency...

Exactly correct, ULEZ and LTNs have created a mess in London. These policies are driven by socialism not environmentalism. Climate is the excuse, reduced personal freedom is the intent. Thankfully many citizens in the EU and UK are waking up to it, so I hope a lot of these authoritarian policies get reversed in the future.

Well put. Lots of people in the comments have a nostalgic vision of Paris it seems.

Just did, it's the worse city in France. A few cycle lanes won't fix it.

Cyclists hitting pedestrians.

Correct. Rich people can easily afford the congestion charges and higher parking fees. These policies impact working class people more.

Exactly.

I think Paris has bigger problems to worry about.

Exactly! So many commentors are wrongly framing this as an either/or choice, while companies can choose to have both.

Actually it should help with both, because a on-island terminal would also provide LNG storage capacity which would buffer short-term price fluctuations. We have zero such storage.

Again, our poor decision making around national infrastructure is on our governments. They left have left us completely exposed to international markets.

A LNG terminal would help. Lots of bad infrastructure decisions have left us extremely exposed to those external shocks you mentioned.
