as if just because they have more experience THEY CAN
I don't follow. Why wouldn't you believe that a senior engineer, that has been reviewing code for years, be any better at reviewing code?
Agreed. E-bikes have gotten my elderly relatives moving too. From essentially sedentary to active on a daily basis.
Teens + other able bodied people are inactive for reasons unrelated to ease of pedaling.
This is cute, but the real reason our teens are inactive & unsocial is because of awful zoning laws + exurban sprawl. It’s not realistically possible to meet your friends anywhere, their homes are too far away & there aren’t any third-spaces to spend time at.
I’ve (irregularly) donated to Zig, Janet, Blender, Godot, and Raylib. Outside of software, I have also donated to EFF (electronic frontier foundation).
If this was a strong signal for quality that many people started relying on… AI creators would just lie about it.
The only ones benefiting from this are notbyai.fyi
I don't necessarily think this is a bad goal, but the term "vibe coder" is almost certainly considered derogatory now.
I think it’s more likely that Kagi users value relevant search results & accurate information.
Note that there have been rumours about Discord preparing to go public
That’s disappointing, but even now it’s hard to imagine they’re particularly profitable. The core functionality of Discord is entirely free and I doubt that Nitro / other paid features earn that much.
We all know this is just the starting point & they'll inevitably raise the price without good reason. However, this is genuinely what I had been asking for; none of the youtube music nonsense.
The (current, temporary) price is reasonable, so I'll probably give it a try.
EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize that background play wasn't included.
This is mostly my experience, except that I DO know the problems.
I don’t get to define the deadlines, that’s up to someone in a department entirely unrelated to engineering. Therefore I only have time to ship fragile, barely-tested code which is built on fragile untested legacy code.
The prison-industrial complex in the United States encourages this. While less than 10% of prisoners are in “for-profit” prisons, there’s a large industry of private companies beyond this that profit off federal prisons; in addition to providing cheap prison labor or goods made by prison laborers (AKA modern slavery)
Unfortunately this is largely not the case in North America, there is no reliable public transit outside of urban areas.
Social binge-drinking is the norm. Amongst my peers, I’d define this as drinking to the point of severe drunkenness on a roughly biweekly basis.
I think it’s genuinely frightening how normalized this is.
Interestingly, I've tried KDE multiple times on different devices & each time there's a Wifi issue that's not present in any other linux desktop. Even the steam deck's default steamos has this issue in desktop mode.
I suspect it's something related to my wireless router, but non-KDE desktops work perfectly fine so I'm mildly confused.
I'm happy to see that this usage of Godot has continued. I've been interested in using Godot for application development since I saw their official "Apps & Tools - 2022 Showreel"[1] video. The only concern I see commonly mentioned is in terms of accessibility (lack of screen reader support, etc.) - which could be a major drawback for certain types of software.
(Clearly not North America)
If they actually cared about public safety, they would pursue legislation to require analog controls & eliminate touchscreens in vehicles.
There’s not much to talk about here. Of course you won’t improve when a third party is producing your code.
That being said, I’m interested to see what happens to LLM effectiveness over time as the amount of LLM-generated code starts infecting training data.
Allowing users to re-prioritize search results directly harms their true product: ads
I’ve been a happy Kagi customer for probably 2 years(?) now. Highlights for me, as a professional:
- I can blacklist low-value domains (such as geeksforgeeks) that dominate the top of many programming searches.
- I can increase/decrease the priority of domains or pin domains to the top of searches, such as official documentation for languages/libraries.
- I can use “Lenses” to filter results for programming/academic/forum results.
More embarrassing than the size itself is that it is supposedly required to change the mode of the toothbrush. I truly do not think this should be allowed, but I’m not sure how to approach enforcing it.
I’m shocked; I was certain this would be different than blockchain.
Still falls pathetically short of what it should be.
I agree with the author, at least in my own creative experiences. However, it's more likely the case that 'creativity' is arrived at differently for everyone. I find memorization to be a comforting foundational activity that builds knowledge & confidence, which I can later express creatively.
Volkswagen benefits from Rivian's expertise in developing and producing software-defined vehicles
What is wrong with current Volkswagen cars that this is so desirable? What is the benefit for consumers?
My current feelings are that I really like Cargo, but don’t enjoy writing Rust. To be honest, if C++ had its own cargo I don’t think I’d ever reach for anything else.
I agree, but unfortunately Asciidoc’s adoption is limited (imo) by the fact that the two most supported parsers are written in Ruby & JavaScript. Not having a C library really limits its potential reach. I personally tried it and enjoyed it, but Ruby/Javascript don’t fit into my projects or preferred tools.
I’ve been lurking & following your project for months in the Graphics Programming discord as I work on my own hobby Vulkan engine. It’s been inspiring seeing all the progress you’ve made. I especially admire your willingness to ask questions & share your work-in-progress so openly. Keep up the great work
Members of Congress shouldn't be allowed to accumulate this kind of obscene wealth - full stop. The only details up for debate is where we draw the line & how to aggressively enforce it.
Microsoft calls the new Laptop a “Copilot Plus PC”
I'd rather have a reliable ARM device, sans Copilot - which MS hasn't proved they're capable of yet.
Whether these computers can match or outdo Apple’s custom silicon remains to be seen
I would be shocked if this were ever the case.
