Same. I'm working on a set of python and matlab scripts that deals with segmenting MRI images into brain vs skull, and it thinks that's bioterrorism.

My examples are all internal/confidential, but if someone from the project wants an example I could probably do some search/replace redaction. It would be a lot of work though because there's photographs and such too, and ind

So I just tried this with a bunch of medium-complex documents and it's wildly wrong. I suspect the authors have never seen an actually complicated Word document?

My guess is the author uses a terrible and abusive registrar and isn’t aware that not all registrars are terrible and abusive.

Simply because the “other team” likes them. That’s it.

Most of the point is the button-feel, though. If I'm just gonna use a computer, I might as well use a full REPL.

The article is poorly written. "The report" there refers to the linked study in the previous paragraph, not the Pope's encyclical.

because the movement of people displaced by Katrina has been extremely well documented for the last 20 years? Like, there are entire journals and programs of study devoted to it. I’m not just guessing here.

Not the greatest example because they both do find me, but here's an example of where Kagi is supposed to be better at precisely this, but isn't. Search without quotes for daniel drucker mclean. That's me, and Google correctl

Someone who was 7 during Katrina at that time is roughly 28 today. Using the Census ACS age brackets, about 20-ish% of louisiana's population is under 15, and another 20 is between 15 and 29. Everyone 30 and older adds up to the other

Well, I'm "some people", and just tried it with Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.5, and neither had any problem at all. The linked article is from research done more than 4 years ago. If you're basing your idea of what LLMs can or can

I really really really really want to love Kagi, but every time I try it (and I just spent a month trying it, ending a week or so ago), I end up back at Google, finding that my search results are better. I think the reason is my searches ar

In the General Social Survey, the share of adults saying “most people can be trusted” fell from 46% in 1972 to 34% in 2018, and Pew found the same 34% in a 2023 to 2024 poll. - https://www.pewresearch.org/2025/05/0
