I am interested to see the results of this. I had Kagi but got rid of it due to the cost. The results were a little better overall, but asking Gemini or Bing gets me to the same place faster most of the time. If I have to search manually, independent of the search engine, I am going to have to open like 3-8 tabs to get my answer most of the time. The difference between having Kagi and not having it is a couple more mouse wheel scrolls and 2-3 more clicks most of the time.

I have found YouTube to be good, but it gives you exactly what you ask for. Its like a yes-man for better or worse (this seems to be extended to people who are making videos now, too). But, once you are aware of that, it is not so bad, you just have to search for and like the right stuff. I like new, low view count videos like people doing $hobby with no commentary. That is mostly what I get now mixed in with some other things that I like.

My issue is games are going all of the above and they are not any more fun than the older ones. No new gameplay features that require the above either. What about the graphics? None of this requires you to ship incomplete and out of date products to the customer. People talk like this type of behavior is necessary and required to ship a game.

Its odd to me, but I would describe VR as not addicting. Its a very fun experience when you are there, but I never really feel the pull to go back. Also, the amount of stuff you can do in VR is not much. People act like you can have a fake VR house and have apps on the wall in each room you walk through. Can't do that. I should be able to do scrolling RSS feeds on the walls of my room like a poster, but I can't do that yet. What about paper documents on the floor that you can point at and select and then MS Word opens? Any type of interaction like that is not there yet really.

I don't know why a lot of software devs like physical hobbies. I had always heard like on HN about people liking woodworking and plumbing, and I was like okay whatever its a meme for the site.

Then the mechanical keyboard stuff took off, and that's when I noticed really.

The people that like making the keyboards and touching the keycaps are like a separate group of people from the ones that like the layers and keyboard layouts. A lot of the youtube keyboard reviewers are not even really good at typing. And then I would see my friends soldering shit all the time like its fun. I did not try it until 2020 when a lot of stuff was shut down and I had the time. Then I was like oh soldering is just adult legos. I don't like legos at all, that's why I never liked soldering or was really into electronics kits growing up.

I feel like peoples hobbies will let you know their preferences for how much abstract thinking they like to do and how they like to process information.

Knowing this now, it makes more sense as to why they could not figure out where to put the CS department. I had come across articles before, but I never really understood what they were talking about.

65-70% are like lego people, people who like playing with legos in their spare time. The rest are humanities people who like math, linguistics, English, music etc. You have to try and figure out the type of person who you are getting information from, because people, at least in this industry, tend to think in very particular ways and it is a lot easier to tell when you start looking at their hobbies and preferences for doing things.

Can you draw the part of the diagram in the blog post based off of these sentences? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-sudo-...

In these configurations, sudo.exe will launch a new elevated process, an elevated sudo.exe process, and the original unelevated sudo.exe will establish an RPC connection with the new elevated process. In other words, information is passed from the unelevated sudo instance to the elevated one.
