  • “You literally tried to argue against the DDG CEO’s statement about how DuckAssist works lol”

    you clearly need help.

    The statement you provided says exactly what I said in greater detail, that the duck duck Go llm verifies apparently factual statements with credible third-party sources, you are literally providing further evidence for my comments while proving yourself incorrect.

    it is funny watching you proving yourself wrong, though, and you should keep doing it.

    I hope you find another source that further supports what I’m saying while completely backfiring against your proud ignorance.








  • it must have done by now, then, I get different results from identical prompts in DuckDuckGo and Bing although both are usually relevant.

    “DuckDuckGo’s results are a compilation of “over 400” sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google.”

    are you having trouble finding something specifically or you just don’t like the quality of the search results you’re finding in general?

    definitely if you’re still on Google, stop using it.

    It’s completely useless at this point.







  • “Intel has only been behind for the last 7 years or so”

    what is your source for this?

    at what point was intel even at par with tsmc in semiconductor/fab quality and production?

    I’ve heard this twice now, but as far as I understand, Intel has never met the fabrication technology or demand that TSMC has and has been playing catch up for three decades.

    I’m very willing to read a sourced article offering more historical context.

    as for the article you’ve linked, it’s a more technical iteration of the “yea but maybe?” articles.

    There’s zero refutation of tsmc dominance and zero evidence of a true emergent competitor.

    “but it remains to be seen whether they’ll hit a wall where Samsung and/or Intel leapfrog them again. Or maybe Samsung or Intel hit a wall and fall even further behind. Either way, we’re not yet at a stage where we know what things look like beyond 2nm”

    their point is “heyvwe don’t know”, but if tsmc next-gen R&D and production fails, and if another company is able to close the distance between themselves and tsmc’s current held advantage, and if that theoretical company is then able to pull ahead with theoretical technologies, then TSMC might not be in first place in terms of semiconductor manufacturing.

    “but what if…” isn’t exactly a compelling or relevatory argument.

    if a new zero emissions concrete dropped tomorrow and if a company secured the funding to produce it commercially and if they partnered with a next-gen 3d-printing company and real estate developer exclusively committed to low-income housing, then they could build a national chain of economically viable housing units.

    None of that has happened and there’s no evidence of it happening, so it’s just a hypothetical series of events.
