About dannywarner

I'm an Aussie, a surfer, and a CS PhD. I've done some time at a FAANG and I'm dipping my toe into startups. They call me Warner because I'm always warning people when something won't work, and it turns out I'm mostly right. Don't say I didn't warn you ;-)

    This is a completely reasonable and insightful comment.Along with any comments critical of Kagi, it is downvoted to oblivion. I have to say the way Kagi shills overwhelm any discus…

    I am (obviously) copying and pasting the same urls that appear in the search results I shared individually into the url entry form on the Kagi summarizer page.

    It is reliable for me. Here is a test to compare. I did a search for 'google chatgpt clone'. AndiSearch generates a good summary for every result. https://andisearch.com/?q=google+…

    Also, being realistic, I do not believe that many normal people try to summarize the full text of old public domain ebooks. If you search for Moby Dick, much better resources come …

    I find it does well with ebooks. I haven't tried with pdfs or videos. The quality of the AndiSearch summaries for the things I use every day like articles, Wikipedia and technical …

    Fwiw I use AndiSearch and they already have a great summarizer integrated directly into search results that they launched last week. There is a Summarize button on every result car…

    They did a Launch HN recently: Launch HN: Hello (YC S22) – A search engine for developers'[1] Nothing much has changed since. So they appear to be trying to cash in on the interest…

    I liked this. I don't like that they took it offline without even updating the home page. Frustrating. I was searching into the void. A friend who is a Kagi user told me that they …

    Thank you with those extra steps I got it working now myself. At least I think thank you. My work productivity for the next few days might not agree.

    You might be missing the point. Try a difficult question instead of a regular web search. Something like this. "Why did Twitter add Elon Musk to its board of directors, and what im…
