   Brave Search is way better than other search engines.

   In contrast to other "private" search engines (except for Presearch and SearX), it doesn't have trackers, or not nearly as many. This information can be verified by installing uBlock Origin and ClearURLs, which detect 0 and 2 trackers respectively, against for example DuckDuckGo's nearly 10 and 19. Other alternatives are SearX (No trackers AT ALL, still kinda user-friendly) and Presearch (A bit easier to use but a tiny bit worse for privacy, it has 1 more tracking element).

   🏁 Competitors: DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, StartPage, Presearch, Searx, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Ask.com, Qwant

   👍 Pros:    Good search results|Not too many trackers|Not buggy|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Has 2 tracking url elements

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  I was talking about Brave Search (https://search.brave.com), not Brave browser. Seaech doesn't promote crypto. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave rolled their own completely independent search [1] on what I assume is a relatively limited budget. It seems that regularly grabbing the data would be pretty easy. The harder part would be searching/ordering it in an efficient and meaningful way while avoiding SEO, but that seems more like a fun problem than a difficult one (if not both).

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave Search [1] is 100% independent. There's also Yandex [2] which also works excellently, but is biased towards more Russian language results. The image search is second to none though. [1] - https://search.brave.com/ [2] - https://yandex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Nice to see https://search.brave.com/, https://entireweb.com and https://mojeek.com are still kicking it. In case anyone needs to know alternatives besides the monopoly that is Google. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• What Happened to DuckDuckGo?

  Https://search.brave.com/ using that as my default search engine on firefox since last year. Quite happy with the quality of results. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Large language models (e.g., ChatGPT) as research assistants

  Yes, the actual results are definitely not as impressive as the overly hyped headlines, but there's still a lot. First off, in terms of research building up on top of it, as of today, Pubmed shows 9,364 articles citing their 2021 paper, and Google Scholar shows 21,719 results as a whole[1], but these include non-biomedical papers (e.g. Applications of similar ML models to other disciplines). As for actual... - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• A junk food diet can cause long-term damage to adolescent brains

  An unhealthy diet (i.e., nutrient deficient diet) harms adult brains. Unsurprising. To learn more, search for resources on pubmed. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• A genetically modified bacterium that outcompetes bacteria causing tooth decay

  Any thoughts on these folks (they are your direct competitor)? https://probiorahealth.com/product/probiora/ A decade or so ago, their founder started with genetically modified bacteria that supposedly outcompete wildtype strains. The regulators responded in the only sane way possible, and it didn't go to human trials, from what I can tell. List of publications from their founder:... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Is Füm safe??

  This link is to PubMed, a search engine that indexes published science articles and studies. Although close to some author's names, I tried a quick search of Füm vaping but came up empty. Maybe you'll have better luck. I'd just ask one question. With zero tastebuds inside human lungs, what's the logic of inhaling nicotine-free vapor into your lungs? If going for taste, why not hold the vape in your mouth... Source: 6 months ago
