Nice! I hope Kagi is licensing access from you?
They do

This will significantly impact (quite possibly kill) Startpage and Ecosia, who are effectively white-label Google, right?
What alternatives are there besides Bing? Is it really so hard that it’s not considered worth doing? Some of the AI companies (Perplexity, Anthropic) seem to have managed to get their own indexing up and running.
Excuse the self-promotion but Mojeek offers a web search API (>9 billion pages): https://www.mojeek.com/services/search/web-search-api/
ColinHayhurst commented on Ask HN: Does any search engine support returning 100 results at a time? · Posted by u/nomilk
Mojeek can provide 40 results at a time. For example: https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=apple&t=40
You can get up to 1,000 results. For example: https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=apple&s=991
Up to 100 results from the API. https://www.mojeek.com/services/search/web-search-api/

Anyone know an alternative API where I can find the URLs of public files on public websites?
ColinHayhurst commented on Web search on the Anthropic API anthropic.com/news/web-se... · Posted by u/cmogni1
Yes.
The Bing Search API is priced at $15/1k queries in the cheapest tier, Brave API is $9 at the non-toy tier, Google's pricing for a general search API is unknown but their Search grounding in Gemini costs $35/1k queries.
Search API prices have been going up, not down, over time. The opposite of LLMs, which have gotten 1000x cheaper over the last two years.
Excuse the self-promotion but Mojeek is £3/1,000: https://www.mojeek.com/services/search/web-search-api/
I don't have access to the paper, but it seems to make zero testable predictions and is therefore just mathematical fiction. If it's not falsifiable, it's not science.
EDIT: the last sentence is "Given sufficient redshift (or, equivalently, time) resolution effected by the redshift slicing, one might just find that the Hubble diagram exhibits jumps in the redshift distance relation, which would be very revealing." So they say it's testable. However, we see the effects of "dark matter" (or whatever it really is) today affecting the spin of galaxies, so I don't see how that's compatible with the explanation of these events being "rare".
Paper here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.08733
TL;DR - replace one big singularity with multiple singularities.
As in last sentence there is "The only difference between this work and the standard model is that the temporal singularity occurred only once in the latter, but more than once in the former."
tldr
Let's have a quick look:
Qwant France EU Hosting
Sure, but the search engine behind is monstly Bing.
Startpage Netherlands EU Hosting
Use Bing and Google
Ecosia Germany EU Hosting
Use Bing, Google Yahoo and Wikipedia
This is not how you build alternative platforms.
The only true Independents search engine are Brave Search and Kagi both from the US.
The EU can't compete, we are lagging behind.
You missed independent search engine Mojeek (UK), and which Kagi uses.

Saying quaternions require thinking in 4 dimensions seems like a lie with no proof. The geometric product is just the quaternion product broken up into scaler and vector parts.

The geometric product works in any dimensions. They have a clear geometric intepretation. Rotations and translations can done using the same algebraic operations.
I really do not understand why. Cloudflare only gave me a week to intervene and get counsel. I have asked them to delay. Everyone I've contacted law firm wise say they're not in a position to help. I've also contacted the EFF and they've provided recommendations to me who have turned out not to be able to help for various reasons. There's been a few on holiday, some say they've not got enough time, or too much work on.
ORG (Open Rights Group) as a UK org might provide good recommendations.
