I stopped using google as my default search engine and use brave search instead now. Googles AI summary is worse than useless. The first example I tried perfectly illustrates my point. The first paragraph of their AI summary links to 8 different sources. How do those 8 sources relate to the claim? I have no way of knowing without reading all 8 sources. Also, the AI summary takes a longer time to load than the main search results, and it's lazy loading animation is distracting. I could not find any way to turn it off.
Meanwhile, with brave search I can turn off the AI summary, although I didn't feel like I had to because the summary was adding value by making it easy to see how the claim was related to the source (sorry no image included, because I don't know how to take screenshots of mouse-hover-over features like that, which tend to close when you screenshot them).
Meanwhile, I haven't noticed large quality differences between brave search and google. I also tried Kagi, but I could not find any quality differences compared to brave search (although I also didn't explicitly create a benchmark for myself). If I try to find something so obscure it isn't indexed on brave search, I mostly use GPT-5 with search or deep research enabled.
For all Arbital content, there is the Arbital scrape index. Most (all?) of that material has been incorporated into Lesswrong’s concept pages.
It is hard to do as a prefix in German, I think. It sounds a bit antiquated to me, but you could try "Jung war X". But yes, in general, I think you are going to run into problems here because German inflects a lot of words based on the gender.
Your German also gives away the gender. Probably use some language model to double check your sentences.
I queried my brain (I am German) and noticed my claim doesn't predict the result. Then checked online and I had male and female backwards from what I read in a dictionary once
After checking random words I noticed the bias is the other way around and female is more likely. Google gave me the same. Now I am confused.
I don't find it surprising. For example, IIRC in German 1/2 of nouns are male, 1/3 is female, 1/6 is neuter. I'd expect correlations/frequencies in English and other European languages, but harder to spot if you don't have gendered nouns.
In the spirit of "All stable processes we shall predict, all unstable processes we shall control." I was thinking about how you would control the weather and earthquakes. One big problem for both of these is convection. For example, earthquakes are powered by hot material from inside the earth being transported out. I noticed my day-to-day intuition had been really confused by convection in solids. Intuitively, moving mass around feels much more inefficient than conduction. I still don't have great intuition for this, but one thing that helped was learning about the Rayleigh number (not to be confused with Reynolds number) which quantifies in which regimes convection rather than conduction dominates. Intuitively, the problem with conduction is that it works best if there are large energy distances locally, but the longer the distance the heat has to travel, the flatter the local heat gradient is going to be. Convection moves things in bulk, which works better with more volume. Heat transfer is so slow inside the earth, a large part of earths internal heat is still left over from the potential energy released by its formation. So if heat wasn't moved by all of the mantle collectively moving centimetres a year, even less heat would escape.
I noticed the following paragraphs go into more detail about how the sources relate to the claim. So my example wasn't well chosen.
