Turns out I already have all the AI features turned off.

@lexfeathers Bad framing on Duckduckgo's part.
The problem is the people, not the computer programs. I am "no" to tech oligarchs running everything and exploiting all of us.
Machine learning could have positive uses, but not while they are controlling it.

@lexfeathers "We don't all feel the same about AI"
Kinda... kinda looks like we do?
@notthatdelta @lexfeathers trend is strengthening at over 5x the sample size lol

The numbers keep going up, but the ratio stays the same. <inflected with a McConnaghy drawl>

@lexfeathers It says that "we dont all feel the same way about AI" on the results page which is a statement that the results flatly contradict
@Montaagge @lexfeathers I guess they’re team “no means yes”?

@lexfeathers I voted, interesting results so far!

@lexfeathers How unexpected. XD

@lexfeathers @funnymonkey Can you guess my vote? 😏
LOL. This was me voting.

@josh @lexfeathers I love to see it!

@lexfeathers its the same story with that mozilla poll, AI doesnt mean jack, its so many things and some are not evil -

@lexfeathers
In what context? That's a meaningless question on it's own. -
@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector you can set it up as a custom search engine and then select it by default, that way all searches go to noai search. Even those from the address bar.
Instructions below for FireFox and forks thereof.

@skylark13 @lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector yup. this is the way.

@lauerhahn @lexfeathers Well, at this point one can argue that AI and Machine Learning are mostly independent terms, given how effective marking by large tech companies have destroyed any meaning of "AI".

I don't think it's that simple.
AI for cancer research?
Absolutely. I'm on board.
AI in a search engine provided 'free' by a corporation that exploits its users?
Nope.

@lexfeathers The thing is, I too dislike it typically but I still make use of genAI in the case of not finding any clues with ordinary search engine queries in hope to find references or other mentions.

@lexfeathers we need a "both".

Non so se preferisco vederla in campo o ascoltarla fuori. Oggi ha vinto il suo 2o torneo in carriera, sconfiggendo anche la nausea, contro un'atleta talentuosa come #IvaJovic. Brave entrambe ma #ElisabettaCocciaretto di più. Il diavolo della Tasmania è lei

Friends, have you heard the good news about heat pumps? My power bill this month is a quarter what it was this time last year. We're having a very mild winter, but still, it's shocking how little energy I've been using.

How Accurate is a 125 Year Old Resistance Standard?
Internals of the 1900 Evershed & Vignoles Ltd 1 ohm resistance standard. (Credit: Three-phase, YouTube)
Resistance standards are incredibly useful, but like so many precision references they require regular calibration, maintenance and certification to ensure that they stay within their datasheet tolerances. This raises the question of how well a resistance standard from the year 1900 performs after 125 years, without the benefits of modern modern engineering and standards. Cue the [Three-phase] YouTube channel testing a genuine Evershed & Vignoles Ltd one ohm resistance standard from 1900.With mahogany construction and brass contacts it sure looks stylish, though the unit was missing the shorting pin that goes in between the two sides. This was a common feature of e.g. resistance decade boxes of the era, where you inserted pins to connect resistors until you hit the desired total. Inside the one ohm standard is a platinoid resistor, which is an alloy of copper, nickel, tungsten, and zinc. Based on the broad arrow mark on the bottom this unit was apparently owned by the UK’s Ordnance Board, which was part of what was then called the War Office.
After a quick gander at the internals, the standard was hooked up to a Keithley DMM7510 digital bench meter. The resistance standard’s ‘datasheet’ is listed on top of the unit on the brass plaques, including the effect of temperature on its accuracy. Adjusting for this, the measured ~1.016 Ω was within 1.6% tolerance, with as sidenote that this was with the unit not having been cleaned or otherwise having had maintenance performed on it since it was last used in service. Definitely not a bad feat.

The only other thing I can think of are forced anti-features, like mandatory advertising, mandatory algorithmic feeds, or forced participation in LLM training.
Are there other things I'm missing?
