A Casio Watch. I no longer have to pull out my smartphone just to get the current time. It also shows current date and weekday. It has a button to activate light so I can easily read the time when it is dark without getting flashed by my smartphone screen. I also use the countdown timer frequently for cooking or as short term reminder. The battery lasts for years. No "smart" functions like getting the news, messages from friends or email notifications. You can put it underwater, swim or shower with it and it still works.
We cannot know. My best guess is that at some point in the future there will be a military conflict between two parties that have nukes. Pakistan vs India for instance. And although they have nukes they would fight conventionally unless one party is about to lose.
The long term ratio of 17 is basically the pre-ETF era average. Now that everyone and his best friend's mom is invested in ETF it is fair to assume that we will establish a much higher ratio.
For me the point when things started to went south is when they swiched from gpt4 to phind-70b as driver behind their answers.
I would rather have exected they make a deal with OpenAI or Anthropic, ... and use one of their models at discount while improving the search functionality.
I used Phind quite a bit about a year ago and thought they were actually very good. In comparison to Perplexity, for example, I thought results were simply much better. I guess at some point the approach of finetuning their own models could not scale, and using third-party APIs would just be prohibitive as well.
Congratulations to the team though, for what it's worth I really liked the product.
