Yay! @kagihq have provided a URL where you can continue to use their "1996-style" search as your home page.

It's so nice to have a bit of colour and human interaction there. "Small Web" has already become a favourite after just a few days. So many great, mad, creative websites to browse!

@ZachWeinersmith Maybe brains (well qualia) are (or we'd like to think they are) a "limits of knowledge" thing, like what's outside of the edge of the visible universe. I don't think brains are axiomatically or provably outside the limits of knowledge, but with current methods, no one knows why I appear to be alive. (Everyone else, there is no evidence, that is why it is justifiable to eat them. Solipsists were just hungry cannibals)
@signorz @MistralAI @BuyFromEU The companies without a state of the art model are competing by niche. Anthropic doesn't have the best small model (Google gemma does). If I were MistralAI I'd compete on training a model to work better with European languages. I don't have enough personal experience to know where Mistral models do better than Claude/GPT4
