While a little bug damage is expected here and there, you can still harvest a lot of high quality produce with minimal or zero pest management. Bugs generally go for weak and unhealthy plants, so if you can keep most of your plants healthy, you can just pull the weak ones if they get too many bugs.
Of course there are plenty of other things you can do, but if you have strong, healthy plants, you often don't have to do much. Birds and other larger animals however, can be a much bigger problem depending on your crop.
We get serious grasshopper damage around here, esp the last two years. It's cyclical, but not all crops are seriously affected. Root crops are usually very robust.
I tried neem and diatomaceous earth against the hoppers. Different mechanisms of action, not total control but good enough for root crops like potatoes. The pumpkins and other squashes also hold up well.
How does this work? Kagi pays for hordes of reviewers? Do the reviewers use state of the art tools to assist in confirming slop, or is this another case of outsourcing moderation to sweat shops in poor countries? How does this scale?
> Kagi pays for hordes of reviewers? Is this another case of outsourcing moderation to sweat shops in poor countries?
No, we're simply not paying for review of content at the moment, nor is it planned.
We'll scale human review as needed with long time kagi users in our discord we already trust
> Do the reviewers use state of the art tools to assist in confirming slop
Mostly this, yes.
For images/videos/sound, diffusion and GANs leave visible artifacts. There's a bit of issues with edge cases like high resolution images that have been JPEG compressed to hell, but even with those the framing of AI images tends to be pretty consistent.
> How does this scale?
By doing rollups to the source. Going after domains / youtube channels / etc.
Mixed with automation. We're aiming to have a bias towards false negatives -- eg. it's less harmful to let slop through than to mistakenly label real content.
May I ask how you plan to deal with YouTube auto-dubbing videos into crappy AI slop?
I wanted to watch a video and was taken aback by the abysmal ai generated voice. Only afterwards I realized YouTube had autogenerated the translated audio track. Destroyed the experience. And kills YouTube for me.
If Kagi wants to avoid serving auto-dubbed content for language-specific intent, Kagi should handle that on the indexing side, no AI-detection required.
Agreed, some weird hostility. I have laptops going back to the 90s all slapped up!
BTW I've been following LK for quite a while now and hope to use it sometime in the future. My regular DM is committed to a different platform, but I have a story that might turn into a campaign and I'd sub to LK to run it. Keep up the great work!
I don't really have any public share links for them, but the last one I got was my fursona as an Among Us character. I've wanted to get another set drawn up for a bit but the artists I was interested in either had really long wait times (1 year) or were quite expensive. I might just draw some myself when I get some time.
I haven't really bought stickers off the internet, but I'm guessing t-shirt or art stores might have some, or your favorite brand of thing might have some.
If you keep your eye out for stickers, you'll start to notice them at many types of smaller establishments like cafes, book stores, boutiques, breweries, music venues, galleries, etc... they're often by the register, and sometimes free!
As a long time sticker collector, I love how the stickers found at random places have some memories attached to them. Finding them, especially when traveling, sometimes feels like finding treasure!
Re: craft vs git 'er dun, I don't think these have to be mutually exclusive. AI-boosted development is definitely different from the old ways, but the craft approach is a mindset and AI is just another tool.
In some ways, I find that agent-assisted development opens doors to producing even higher quality code. Little OCD nitpicks, patterns that appear later in development, all the nice but not really necessary changes...these time-consuming refactors are now basically automated in 1-shot by an agent.
People who rush to ship the minimum were writing slop long before LLMs. At least now we have these new tools to refactor the slop faster and easier than ever.
Not to mention that the hard copy always scans flawlessly at the gate. Phone scans, not so much.
Not only does the phone scan not work well, but people often aren't prepared and so the boarding line stalls while people unlock their phone and retrieve the e-ticket.
> Not to mention that the hard copy always scans flawlessly at the gate. Phone scans, not so much.
Not true. Recently I printed a hardcopy of my boarding pass at the airline's kiosk, then found it wouldn't scan at security. Luckily I was able to pull up the barcode on my phone.
Ouch. Perhaps it's a dice roll either way. I guess I just assumed everyone else also had issues with phone tickets, and not with paper. You and your sibling comment have opposite experiences however, so it seems I must retract my statement.
Of course there are plenty of other things you can do, but if you have strong, healthy plants, you often don't have to do much. Birds and other larger animals however, can be a much bigger problem depending on your crop.
