Maybe Kagi could add this to their custom index.

Yeah that’s been my experience with IPFS. Very cool idea, practically doesn’t work very well. Haven’t tried recently though, maybe it’s improved.

Is there nice interop with BitTorrent for those cases, similar to how Git Annex adds large binary support to git? For example, if I use Radicle to version a machine learning project, can I use a Magnet link for multi-GB model files?

This is indicative of a more general phenomenon: the world is big enough that attention is stretched thin. If you invest a few weeks of thoughtful work into a specific corner, just because YOU care, you can quickly surpass broader experts.

That’s a neat concept. Are there any products that take a video input and USB A connection, combine into USB C and act as a KVM? I can’t even think what that would be called, TBH. It’s hard to search for.

Hmm I’d like to hear more from Kagi on this. They make a point of not logging searches by their subscribers. If this widget is available to non-subscribers outside of Kagi.com, do the same privacy-first principles apply?

This is their standard roll out strategy. The feature is in Alpha. They use the Ultimate tier as an early testing group. One thing you’re paying for at that tier is access to stuff like this fresh out of the lab.

Very cool idea, not currently working.

Great recommendation, thank you

Never heard of this, took some digging to figure out what it is. Best blurb I found was in the docs, not the homepage: Hono - [炎] means flame in Japanese - is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for the Edges. It works on any JavaS

It’s a thoughtful, nuanced take grounded in some reasonable (though imperfect) engineering and economics. He correctly points out that battery manufacturing isn’t an old growth forest and that longer lifecycles for manufactured goods are be

Very cool. I wonder when it makes sense to engineer things at this level vs using something like Azure AI search. [0] Love to see version control on all the things! Wonder if the version control features would be more robust if implemented

The "!fast" bang is more broadly available. It's faster, as the name implies, and results are still pretty good. It uses smaller models on the back end.

Agree. There are many extensions that I want to use on arbitrary websites, but rarely. This could be handled by the browser locking the extension out from everything, until the moment I manually invoke it, at which point it’s allowed access

yeah it’s managed through the Eclipse Foundation now. They’re slowly working towards a formal spec, haven’t hit 1.0 yet. Details here https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/asciidoc-lang/asciidoc-la...

Asciidoc has potential. Last time I dug into it the ecosystem was lacking, but there were glimmers of a reboot. I hope that pulls through because it’s a great format. Edit: yeah it’s managed through the Eclipse Foundation now. They’re slowl

Yes. The home assistant speakers aren’t making enough money to justify the large teams behind them. Thus we’ve seen significant layoffs on those teams in the past year. BigCos are looking for other ways to reduce costs. Killing features is

Red looks pretty cool. Will try it out once they reach 1.0!

Concur- I’d love to have the book I’m reading — and anything before/after it in the series — available to an LLM for quick reference.

100%. This outage and the (unrelated) bug on the new mobile safari extension were jarring. I definitely rely on snappy & ubiquitous to Kagi!

Cool project! Last time I tried Nix on MacOS it did not end well. Maybe I’ll try this in a VM and see how it goes…

Neat idea, worth a try. Privacy story will be interesting.
