    There's another cheeky example of this where you select a pseudo-random seed that makes your result significant. I have a personal seed, I use it in every piece of research that us…

    One of the big problems I have with cursor is that it ignores the rules frequently. For example, working in the front-end it will sometimes totally ignore all the components that I…

    This article is great but it doesn't even talk about the assistant. The assistant is an LLM powered version of Kagi. It's been my daily driver for months and the productivity boost…

    The Assistant product is incredible. It's been my daily driver (+Cursor), since September. I don't even bother with normal search results unless I really can't find something (like…

    I love that you can pin, raise or lower results from specific websites. They also set it up so you can see popular raise/lower and pins. It's wonderful. Trust me too, it's worth it…

    Yes, you can ask it for small web results and they are mostly personal websites.

    Linux desktop has come a long way. KDE, Gnome and newer shells that layer on top like Pop Shell are really a joy to use. I very rarely use Windows anymore except for gaming where t…

    The product is great. I love that I can pin, raise or lower the importance of specific websites. I average about 800 searches a month, and I have only had to go to another search e…

    What did they use to build this site? I could have sworn I saw what looked like LaTex when it was loading?

    Fractional scaling works well, but only when all your monitors are the same size. If you're a laptop user connecting to a differently sized screen it can be a challenge.

    It's been a solid daily driver for me at work and home for the last 4 years. I would also be interested in knowing what you feel is completely broken. The window tiling system they…

    A lot of companies are doing this. I wonder how many are doing it because they want to reduce head counts through attrition instead of layoffs?

    Love this comment because it translates so well to any mentally taxing endeavor. Writing a long-running program? Set a few assertions up front so that it fails immediately before w…

    S3, S4, R6, and reference classes. To be fair they are situational and not one size fits all. The stricter ones are mainly used in biostats where significant metadata makes more se…

    The last AirBNB I stayed at, I received a bad review. Their negative review stated, passively aggressively, that I had only completed "some of the checkout list items". The list of…
