I second this, Kagi is amazing.

I've been having a great time w/ Kagi, absolutely worth the $10/mo.

So much better than the alternatives, really hope it starts catching on outside the Clojure ecosystem.

That is pretty interesting and also I didn't realize you could share chats like that. That GPT is so bad at tic-tac-toe and relatively good at other games like chess is one of the main things that contributes to me having a lower opini

Oddly just like the text version it is still really bad at tic-tac-toe. Gave it a picture of a completed game and "Who won?" It told me "X won with a vertical line through the middle column" when in fact O won and there

Wish edn was more popular outside the Clojure world, it is so much better than the alternatives imo.

Comfort != "stuff". Yes in some cases stuff brings additional comfort, and what stuff does that varies by person but there isn't anything inherently contradictory in what they said imo. I moved from an area where I needed a

I've noticed that one of the most common failure patterns I get from GPT4 for code generation is that it incorrectly asserts something and then corrects itself in the same response. ex: "This code `(some-fn 1 2)` does x because y.

Definitely not the only one, an entire country decided that durability is important for the $1 denomination, I'll copy what I posted above: I was recently in El Salvador, which uses the USD as an official currency (alongside BTC lol).

I live in DC, it is ridiculously expensive but rent increases are capped, google says the formula is CPI + 2% but no more than 10%/yr. If she stayed in the same unit she might want to make sure her landlord isn't raising her rent

People might debate how much of the killing was intentional but I wouldn't have thought it controversial to say that American natives, by and large, did not reap the benefits of colonization and actually incurred major losses.

I think I see your point but 10% (or heck even 1%) of books being engaging and worthwhile is still more books than anyone could realistically read in a lifetime. Good books are a fair bit more accessible than good urbanism or rural activiti

I have noticed that there is a decent amount of regional (esp Salvadoran) slang that native Spanish speakers I know use that it doesn't recognize. This isn't a huge problem and it is still incredibly useful though, as learning a f

I agree, it seems like all the arguments that the use of data by AI should have no more restrictions than the use of data by humans hinge on the implicit (or sometimes explicit) assumption that human learning and machine learning are identi

Phrased slightly differently, my result with GPT4 on launch day was: > What weighs more, two pounds of feathers or a pound of bricks? > A pound of bricks weighs more than two pounds of feathers. However, it seems like you might have m

An example: GPT4 at release still had issues with "What is heavier, a pound of feathers or two pounds of bricks." It would very consistently claim that they were equal in weight because usually the question is posed with the weigh

Some games go smoothly, some don't (occasionally it plays impossible moves or plays after I've already won, although not often). Even when games go smoothly, it seems to play very poorly even when told to win and even when I told
