In general I am a very happy Kagi subscriber, but I have noticed in the past month or so that sometimes my searches (via the Safari extension) just hang. Navigating it kagi.com also hangs. When I'm in a rush this forces me to fall back

The recent book Unaccountability Machine (Dan Davies) made the rounds a while back on this site a few years back. A few years before that, Ted Chiang's essay in the New Yorker entitled "Will AI Become the New McKinsey?" did l

To add to this, checking Craigslist... local chicken owners here are selling their extra eggs for about $7-8 a dozen here as well (20m drive from a major US city). Only marginally more expensive than store eggs, but a lot fresher, unwashed

Makes me wonder what we'd uncover with systematic longitudinal studies (within the same culture, rather than comparing populations with distinct cultures and genetic bases) on effects of male genital mutilation.

At this point, the only thing that keeps me using ChatGPT is o1 w/ RAG. The usage limits on o1 are prohibitively tight for regular use, so I have to budget usage to tasks that would benefit there. I also have significant misgivings abo

No? SMT solvers underpin the majority of program synthesis research tools. When you get down to it, you're optimizing (searching) for some program that maximizes/minimizes some objective function with terms for error relative to s

Service industry workers tend to get off between 2:30 and 4:00AM. If you get off at 2:30, great, you can take the bus or train back home. If you're held late to clean or do prep for the next day? You'll be waiting until transit se
