I remember them advertising Svelte as the framework that disappears in build time.

The SimpleUI plugin helps a lot with the clunkiness.

This feels like obvious setup for regulatory capture. It won't be long before missing "safety" watermarks are cited as the pretext for restricting Chinese models.

What specific technical signals make you think we're close to a shift like that?

With the recent wave of posts about Claude rewriting entire codebases from Zig/Electron to Rust/Swift, I can't help but question the prompter's actual confidence in the final result. Gaining a thorough understanding of t

What's the unique value proposition here? I checked it out and seems like yet another Chromium fork with some privacy added on top.

Applying an ostrich policy to Chinese models won't make their underlying geopolitics disappear. Much of China's innovation is state-funded specifically to compete with Western counterparts and erode their margins. By open-sourcin

Can confirm. Traveling via public transport in Switzerland is remarkably uneventful. It's a stark contrast to my Eastern European home country, where it is a gamble due to a certain demographic's anti-social behavior.

My annual Kagi subscription lapsed last week, so I decided to see how DuckDuckGo is doing these days. The feature I missed most from Kagi was domain filtering, so I had Claude write a quick userscript for DDG that lets me boost, pin, and bl

Last time I looked into it, I realized how severely it's limited by memory bandwidth. Only the M5 Ultra compares to a dedicated graphics card, but it still falls short.

At my company, devs were the ones pushing for the Claude subscription. Left to management, we would have only had GitHub Copilot – we already have an existing relationship with them and the tool is good enough. If Anthropic is intent on los

They tick all the boxes I care about – desktop & mobile app, cli – but for the same price I might as well just go for the leading providers.

Git wins by not needing to be replaced badly enough. Latley you can just ask an agent to "amend the last commit" so even that is being abstracted away.

I’m also fine with the change. Claude is my go-to for research as the standalone app and shortcut are very convenient. The Kagi team should focus on the core product; that’s what I’m paying for. I stopped being a ProtonMail customer once th
