#202Side note: Yandex search is awesome, and I really hope they stay alive forever. It's the only functional image search nowadays, after our Google overlords neutered their own product out of fear over lawyers/regulation and a disdain for power users. You can't even search for images "before:date" in Google anymore.
Yandex Image Search is today is what Google Image Search should have been. End of the day I’ll use what actually gets the job done. Same goes for OpenAI and Google AI. If you don’t actually ever release and let others use your stuff and end paralyzed in fear at what your models may do then someone else is gonna release the same tech, and at this rate it seems like that’ll be Chinese or Russian companies who don’t sha…
OpenAI should just rebrand since nothing they do is actually open.

Coming from Russia doesn't mean you agree with government policy. If you saw people get arrested as soon as they start protesting, what would you do?
> If you saw people get arrested as soon as they start protesting, what would you do? Probably move if that's anywhere near a possibility, and if not, cowardly stay as unnoticeable as possible. I know that at least in Finland Russian refugees are mostly welcome (although the border might be closed right now), even if they probably will face a lot of scrutiny from various authorities for obvious reasons. Most certainl…
Move where, exactly? I have a few friends in Russia and they sit on their asses because there's nowhere for them to go. You don't exactly qualify as a refugee unless the state is after you (which you can trigger very easily, but then you may not be able to leave the country), and even then it's not a given.

> Google overlords neutered their own product out of fear over lawyers/regulation What kind of lawyers/regulation do you have in mind? If anything, I'd find the opposite: lawyers and copyright holders should be grateful for such a tool that - when it was still working - allowed you to trace websites using your images illegally. Now they all use Yandex for this purpose, with relatively good results.
Maybe the view image link removal in 2018.

It's not that Russia Bad, it's that if you know a search engine will serve you censored, biased results that makes it an unreliable search engine.
And someone upthread claimed their image search was so great in comparison to google... because google also censors their results. They just censor different things.

Well... I'm sorry if I reach for the reductio at Hitlerum, but any achievements Nazi scientists might have reached in concentration camps are definitely tainted. Similarly, achievements in the field of online consumer analysis in a country where consumer-privacy protections are nonexistent, surely should be considered tainted...?
They are and we use them all the same. Rockets fly almost every week now, jet engines are the most common form of propulsion, tons of medicine forcibly tested on innocent people is on the market, and to pass up any of that technology would be pure idiocy.
>tons of medicine forcibly tested on innocent people is on the market
What medicine?

I'm not sure why you got downvoted. Yes, ASICs (either analog or digital) that have some model hardcoded in would probably make it feasible, but it won't be programmable which is the interesting part.
Totally not my field, but why wouldn't they be programmable? Analog FPGA's already exist.
Yes, true. I was referring to the Mythic ones the other comment mentioned which are only for inference of a specific model.

no it's not. they straight up serve kremlin, promoting kremlin fake news and silencing russian opposition (not much to silence but still). they can have whatever functionality they like, I still won't use it in billion years.
can you name any Russian company that doesn't? obeying to Kremlin is just an aspect of running business in Russia the only option would be not to operate in Russia at all. Yandex can't do this, because their audience is primarily in Russia
Well they've made their choice and silenced our protest and opposition, and later spewed pro-war anti-Ukrainian propaganda using country's largest media (Yandex News).
If you're profiteering from our suffering and choose Kremlin's needs over ours, don't be suprised then when we tell you to shove your AI models and your search.

The purpose is deterrence, not punishment.
And yet sanctions never work as a deterrent. Cuba is still socialist after 60 years of sanctions. Great deterrent! No, sanctions just punish generation after generation of innocent people and serve no other purpose. If you still mantain that the purpose is deterrence, then you must be a fool or worse, since it never works! Can't you learn from the past? Edit: Before you even dig out some article like this: https://ww…

They are pretty effective at preventing future wars. This war happened only because Russia wasn't crippled enough after 2014.

Yandex users already assume it is censored and biased
they continue to use it however, because it gives them the expected results most of the time
