It's not how it works. You can just install whichever linux distro of your favorite, download blender or krita, and see it uses its own python by default yourself. And thankfully it's not how it works. If it were it'd break p

I know I'll sound like a Google shill, but I really don't know how this could compete against what Google AI Studio offers for now. Studio even has free quota (while being completely opaque). I once feel Kagi is some fresh air tha

When and where exactly did I suggest shut all restaurant websites down?

by raincole 7mo ago
It's great in principle. However, in the past decade I've never visited even one single restaurant's website. I just check menus and phone numbers on google map. I trust google map photos (not saying they're 100% reliabl

First of all, the parent comment's point is that Kagi is often be praised for being like so-called-old-Google[0]. So it's only reasonable to assume they only care about the links, not the LLM summary. What you described is even fu

These demos are far, far better than what I expect from one-shot-prompting. It's interesting how our expectations shifted though.

by raincole 7mo ago
Because some people like to be polite? Is it this hard to understand? Your hand-written prompts are unlikely to take significant chunk of context window anyway.

If you care at code quality of course it is exhausting. It's supposed to be. Now there is more code for you to assure quality in the same length of time.

The ultimate conflict of interest here is that the sites people want to crawl the most are the ones that want to be crawled by machines the least (e.g. Youtube). So people will end up emulating genuine human users one way or another.

To quote the parent comment: > The general simplistic answer from those who never had to design such a game or a system of “do everything on the server” is laughably bad.

You see a slippery slope and I see a reasonable compromise. It's a wildly popular opinion that we should control which age groups can use social media[0][1][2]. Do you think these polls are astroturfed? If not, it's clear people

The California law is actually the best form of age verification one can imagine. It only requires the OS to let the user to 'signal' their age. In other words, it's more like a checkbox asking if you're older than 18, i

Exactly. And the funniest part is that when Steam implemented cloud-based verification for UK compliance, many people on HN suggested that the correct approach is to verify on hardware/OS level.
