You were correct! It is really impressive and up to date. It feels a little less precise than ChatGPT but given the fact that it is up to date means it is a tradeoff I guess I will often want to take.

True, and on a global scale 20% is even a much larger percentage than I would have expected. My point however is that when I started working in IT I was the only one at the places where I worked who used something other than Windows wheneve

If anything my expectations sunk massively between 2009 and the introduction of Kagi. To be blunt: for me, mainstream search engines Google and Bing very much feel like the things they replaced, Altavista and Yahoo, just with some fancy bol

As we have seen it didn't work, at least not right now. Even if this is just a band aid while we wait for competition to pop up (I'm not that optimistic about the market) it would still be valuable and I see no problems with it.

Back when the answers were still there and Google still worked I managed to find them just fine. Many others clearly did too as many of the questions they removed or tried to remove were massively upvoted.

search.marginalia.nu consisted of 1 Swedish engineer and 1 server last I heard and still managed to outclass DDG in a number of query types relevant to me. In fact, back when I used DDG I think I fell back to marginalia more often than I fe

I have the early adopter professional plan, but I must admit that while I consider myself very much a power user I have never been close to even 700 searches a month.

They have API access to Google but there is clearly a sprinkling of magic and logic between. How can I know? The magic is proven by the fact that Kagi mostly respect my queries (or accept my bug reports if I can prove they didn't) desp

Agree. This is important.

Maybe. Personally I think software engineers are a much more valuable audience than college kids. Also I think a lot of what happened was rampant deletionism, that I personally can't see any good reason for with todays storage prices

Maybe this can work. I certainly wouldn't do this myself, but unlike what many others think I don't think this must necessarily result in burnout. I have experienced burnout and I have experienced working a lot more than when I bu

I have said it before I think, that I am sure Stack Overflow absolutely can, if they want to, reduce the amount of low quality questions they get. The problems Stack Overflow has seems to me to be very much self inflicted, caused by the dec

Thanks! Very much appreciated. I guess I have to admit he has been in Russia at least 2 or 3 times since 2012. (The 2017 story is low on verifiable details I think although I admit I read it through Google Translate.) The last story however

You are right. Massive effort has been put into creating correct translations, both concordant and simplified. And last time older writings were found they showed that the copies had been amazingly precisely done.

True. But unlike with the alternative that many end on, raw sql, it doesn't funnel anyone into a place where writing "select * from sometable where id=" + id feels like a logical next step unless you actually have stu

But then again you are the Swede that for a long time ran an advanced, publicly available search engine out of your living room as a side project while working full time. Of course you can get Gradle to work :-) Also even considering the
