ControlD is pretty cool.

Shame.

The fact that a huge amount uf parameters may lead to worse hallucinations is something I didn't think of. Would this somewhat imply that DeepSeek V4 flash should be less prone to these issues?

You can block DoH by blacklisting their domains (which is what ControlD and NextDNS do, by the way).

Inbuilt ad blockers aren't affected by whatever change Google may do to the extension ecosystem.

Ironically, I just ordered a hardcopy of "Python Crash Course". I want to learn it for personal use and prefer to have the book at hand, rather than in PDF/electronic format. And no, I'm not letting AI or LLMs do the job for me: I prefer (rally: need) my brain to stay active.

Thanks. Not a fan of Google, TBH... By the way, you're right, I'd prefer a credit-based solution. I've been reading about together.ai. Do you happen to knos how is it, by any chance?

Why should someone hate on you just because you enjoy decaf?

I do.

Faster.

I'm just using Evolution. Switched from Thunderbird a few weeks ago. So far, so good.

I've never user Google or DDG assistants, tbh. My use for Kagi's assistant is for stuff related to work. I'm a university prof., so it "saves me a bit of time" while checking for errors in assignments, clarify concepts to explain to students and so on. I almost never use it to search for stuff.

Yeah, that reply is a mildly infuriating, in view of what they're planning.

Well, no... I use maybe 1/5 to 1/3 of may month allowance on Assistant. It's nice to have. And I subscribed to Kagi also because of it. So, the Assistant going away would mean my expensive Duo subscription going away as well.

Again, right now the assistant is entirely optional. Oh, summarizer and translate are base on the same models, by the way.

You're looking at the finger and missing the Moon.

That's why I don't think anybody is going to pay for the Assistant alone.

Friendly reminder that you're not forced to use it. "I despise soccer, so soccer should disappear".

Well, good for you, I guess. But for the rest of us who use the Assistant this would be a net downgrade, AKA paying the same for less.

From the thread on kagifeedback.org:

"As we prepare to launch Kagi Assistant as a standalone subscription, we're considering changes to how it will be available on the Pro and Starter plans (Search subscriptions).

Currently these plans let you use the Kagi Assistant each month up to the AI cost value included in your subscription, similar to how it works on Ultimate. The change we're consideringn would turn this into more of a trial where you'd still have access to the Assistant, but only up to a fixed usage cap. Once you hit that cap, you'd need to subscribe to either the Ultimate plan or the Kagi Assistant's own subscription to keep using it (same mechanism we already have for Search)."

Just discovered you can type any language in the drop down menu... I tried with a dialect from my region (Italy) and it's working beautifully :-D

This is actually great, lol.

Link is in spanish. Here it goes a translation

FYI, Cloudflare already is almost entirely blocked in Spain during soccer, so this is a "smart" move to make it difficult for people to watch pirate IPTV streams...

I'm at my second E-series ThinkPad right now. My "old" one, from 2018, is still rocking and my son is happily using it.

Reason for the E-series: cheaper than T, good keyboards, easily serviceable/expandable and the feeling that it's build quality is a bit better than that of other laptops of similar price. Overall, very happy with them.

Yup. In may case, if I'm lucky enough I may get a permanent position relatively soon. That would surely improve my productivity a lot. Finger crossed.

Probably so. I'm in academia as a teacher and as a researcher. I like teaching and I like research. If I were "rich" I'd probably do both things with a much clearer state of mind.

I'm a Linux users since 1999ish and I find extremely annoying and condescending these kind of titles.

What about "Hey! I tried Linux and it's cool! Let me show you!", instead?

Yup, I was about to comment on that as well, but didn't want my question to be interpreted as polemic.
