By the overgrown orchard, we're doing cartwheels in the tall grass, the summer din gone with the holidayers returning to reality, the entire island is ours, every crooked apple tree, every shriveled blackberry, every dead leaf; endless time in an empty world, all ours. Back aboard, a gust of wind stirs the ashes in the woodstove and brings to mind the old fires by the beach, breathing through the collar of a thick sweater, warming my hands around a cup of tea and, most of all, shoegaze. Autumn is approaching in more ways than one. And still, we'll be doing cartwheels in the tall grass. wiki.xxiivv.com

I've been surprised to find that sometime in past six months or year, ChatGPT has generally started returning better results than Google for me. OpenAI probably has fewer employees than Google Search alone, and what fraction of OAI works on search? On the order of 1%? Arguably an unfair comparison because ChatGPT takes 20x longer to return a result, but Google doesn't have a "20x slower but don't return https://danluu.com/seo-spam/ knob" OpenAI Google Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
