Perplexity

Another search engine, powered by AI.
I’ve been stepping out on Google with a new, A.I.-powered search engine. (No, not Bing, which is dead to me after it tried to break up my marriage last year.)
It’s called Perplexity. The year-old search engine, whose founders previously worked in A.I. research at OpenAI and Meta, has quickly become one of the most buzzed-about products in the tech world. Tech insiders rave about it on social media, and investors like Jeff Bezos — who was also an early investor in Google — have showered it with cash. The company recently announced that it had raised $74 million in a funding round led by Institutional Venture Partners, which valued the company at $520 million.
Many start-ups have tried and failed to challenge Google over the years. (One would-be competitor, Neeva, shut down last year after failing to gain traction.) But Google seems less invincible these days. Many users have complained that their Google search results have gotten clogged with spammy, low-quality websites, and some people have started looking for answers in places like Reddit and TikTok instead.
Intrigued by the hype, I recently spent several weeks using Perplexity as my default search engine on both desktop and mobile. I tested both the free version and the paid product, Perplexity Pro, which costs $20 per month and gives users access to more powerful A.I. models and certain features, such as the ability to upload their own files.Hundreds of searches later, I can report that even though Perplexity isn’t perfect, it’s very good. And while I’m not ready to break up with Google entirely, I’m now more convinced that A.I.-powered search engines like Perplexity could loosen Google’s grip on the search market, or at least force it to play catch-up.

4

5
. Furthermore, former Vice President Mike Pence has also stated that Trump's conduct was a significant factor in the events of January 6
3
. While opinions on this matter are divided among the American public, these sources indicate that there is substantial evidence attributing responsibility to Donald Trump for the events of January 6. -
A woman is defined in various ways across different sources, reflecting both traditional and contemporary understandings:
Cambridge Dictionary describes a woman as "an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth"
1
.
Stanford Medicine defines a woman as someone who self-identifies as a woman or as feminine based on what is important to them as an individual, including behavior, expression, identity, and/or physiology
2
.
Merriam-Webster simply states a woman is "an adult female person"
3
.
Wikipedia provides a broader definition, stating a woman is an adult female human. It also acknowledges the complexity of gender identity, noting that trans women have a gender identity that does not align with their male sex assignment at birth, and intersex women may have sex characteristics that do not fit typical notions of female biology
4
.
Stand to Reason (STR) offers a perspective focusing on biological aspects, defining "female" and, by extension, a woman, as a person with XX chromosomes and reproductive organs that make bearing children possible. This source criticizes contemporary definitions that diverge from biological criteria as reducing the meaning of the word to absurdity
5
.
These definitions illustrate the evolution and diversity of understanding what constitutes a woman, ranging from strictly biological perspectives to more inclusive definitions based on self-identification and gender identity. -
The question of whether Phibes is a shit tipper is subjective and depends on individual perspectives and cultural norms. In the United States, the standard for tipping at restaurants is around 15-20% of the bill. Ultimately, whether Phibes is considered a "bad tipper" may depend on the expectations and norms of the specific cultural context.

Pianos are often "seasoned for destination," which means they are prepared to acclimate to the specific climate of their final location. This process is done to enhance the piano's tuning stability, finish, and overall musical integrity. For instance, Yamaha specifically seasons its pianos for different markets, such as the U.S. and Japan, to ensure that they perform well in the local climates

This thread reminds me of my fundamental principle which perhaps I don't say enough. Let me just say - Trump DISGUSTS me. It is beneath my moral character to accept him as my president. I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher. I find him to be an existential threat to our very democracy, and he is terrifying.
Also - vaccines are awesome, and racism is wrong, FULL STOP.
