  • I’ve been looking for years. Haven’t found any.

    When I think of notes, I think of little one off Post-It’s I can quickly reference at a glance later. Then throw away once I don’t kneed it later. But all the “Notes” apps out there aren’t about replacing notes, but instead are all about replacing notebooks. They’re WAY overkill, and far too much work for such a simple use.







  • Google CEO Sundar Pichai seemed genuinely alarmed at the prospect of being forced to license Google’s search index and algorithm

    This is almost exactly what Kagi suggested.
    The hardest part of internet search is building the search Index. It’s massive. Practically a whole copy of the internet. Selling other provider access to Google’s search index means new businesses and new business models can be created. My only concern is the “and algorithm” part. That almost sounds like the current state of things. Where companies can run queries to google and receive standard results filtered by Google’s algorithm. Direct access to the index is needed without Google’s algorithm, so others can use their own algorithm. But maybe they meant and/or, so companies can choose to be a real “Google white label” or something more.





  • They’re not what I think of as a “Key Company” for anything.
    That would require them to be irreplaceable in some aspect, on any reasonable timeline. But if they disappeared tomorrow, AMD would be able to step in and cover every use people had for Nvidia products.

    (Accept maybe the Nvidia Shield. But Nvidia seems to have largely quit that anyway)

    The closest thing they have to irreplaceable is CUDA. But AMD has been making leaps and bounds improving their GPU software. It would take the market maybe 6mo, or a year. But it would adjust without much trouble.
