Kagi is not immune to this (it's the substrate itself that's losing quality, not just search) but it's a decent antidote.

Just to add another data point to this, 300 would absolutely not be enough for me. Here's my usage stats: Jul 2026 939 Jun 2026 1,317 May 2026 1,924 Apr 2026 2,537 Mar 2026 2,183 Feb 2026 2,038 Jan 2026 2,392

> some deaf mouth breather I quite agree with the overall point but can we leave this kind of discourse on X, please? It doesn't add much, it just feels caustic for effect and engagement farming.

Which MAGA comment, specifically? Are you referring to this? > While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation

> You do what a country tells you to do as a foreigner, or you leave. I suppose you're right. You're still allowed to criticize the government's decisions though! This is certainly true in Italy, which has quite reasonable

All of this is entirely optional. You're free to code the "old-fashiond" way, if you so prefer.

Indeed. I'd imagine most of the value of such automation would come from supposedly better quality control, not from saving money on salaries.

I believe this is technically true, but somewhat myopic when it comes to how maintainers approach unsafe blocks in Rust. UBs have unlimited blast radius by definition, and you'll need to write correct code in all your unsafe blocks to

They are not – if the goal becomes to capture the king, and check-related rules are removed from the game, stalemates become impossible.

by neysofu 2y ago
Yeah, I didn't think it through. I'd imagine such a rule change would still make draws significantly less likely though, right?

by neysofu 2y ago
Another possible solution would be to simply... remove draws from the game. Instead of checkmating the goal becomes to capture the opponent's king. Needless to say, no one likes this idea because it throws out of the window centuries o

Why is it still invite-only? They had (have?) A unique opportunity with people begging to use their service... they were in the right place at the right time, and they willingly decided to limit sign-ups and let the hype die. I'm baf

I've been a paying customer for more than a year, in my experience DDG is not even in the same league as Kagi. DDG provides a noticeably worse search experience than Google for most queries, whereas Kagi is either just as good or often

Waymo takes responsibility for all accidents and Tesla is able to drive autonomously at 40km/h on highways, but neither does both . Mercedes does. That's –I believe– the point that parent is making. Now, I'd argue that Waymo

I don't understand the connection between these two events. Why would an IPO mean that Reddit has to crack down on adult content? We've seen this with many online platforms over the years, again and again, but I just don't un

> Why not automate cargo ships? There's far less to hit in the ocean and far fewer inputs required. Maneuvering a ship is but a very small part of all that's needed to maintain a ship operational – engine maintenance, paperwork

QUIC is not without defects, I'm with you there, but almost almost any "web-scale" company dealing with a lot of cellular connections would disagree with your statement. Uber, Verizon, Cloudflare, Meta, Fastly, among others,

Self-driving cars are very much in sight. Waymo and Cruise are scaling like crazy and the tech is maturing at a fast pace.

I'll also convert to annual to get unlimited searches for a year. The search engine market is moving so fast now anyway that things may be well different a year from now.

Killing GCP would be so stupendously, incredibly short-sighted. I hope there's no truth to the reports and internal leaks from 2019.

Why would Bitcoin collapse as a consequence of Tether collapsing? I would expect to see a temporary drop due to market instability and low investors' confidence amid fear, but surely not a collapse.

If you pay enough attention, you will notice that the same argument is used to push many political agendas (for better or worse): - "You can't ban encrypted messaging. Terrorists will always find a way to communicate." - &quo
