I second this, Kagi is amazing.

March 14 for me :)

I've been having a great time w/ Kagi, absolutely worth the $10/mo.

So much better than the alternatives, really hope it starts catching on outside the Clojure ecosystem.

That is pretty interesting and also I didn't realize you could share chats like that. That GPT is so bad at tic-tac-toe and relatively good at other games like chess is one of the …

Oddly just like the text version it is still really bad at tic-tac-toe. Gave it a picture of a completed game and "Who won?" It told me "X won with a vertical line through the midd…

> Wildlife identification Wouldn't say this is super reliable, I gave it a photo of a small squid in my hand and it said it was a baby fish ( very obviously was not a fish).

Wish edn was more popular outside the Clojure world, it is so much better than the alternatives imo.

> "picture" doesn't think of his fellow humans as fully real, thinking people I can't say I agree, this feels like a very uncharitable reading of his/her posts. Unless it was edite…

Comfort != "stuff". Yes in some cases stuff brings additional comfort, and what stuff does that varies by person but there isn't anything inherently contradictory in what they said…

I've noticed that one of the most common failure patterns I get from GPT4 for code generation is that it incorrectly asserts something and then corrects itself in the same response…

Definitely not the only one, an entire country decided that durability is important for the $1 denomination, I'll copy what I posted above: I was recently in El Salvador, which use…

I was recently in El Salvador, which uses the USD as an official currency (alongside BTC lol). Despite using dollars, the $1 coins are used instead of notes almost exclusively for …

I live in DC, it is ridiculously expensive but rent increases are capped, google says the formula is CPI + 2% but no more than 10%/yr. If she stayed in the same unit she might want…

> high manufacturing cost and the necessity for long hospital follow-up The lead researcher behind the treatment claims the treatment cost under $20k to administer though, and I've…

Well this is despicable...

People might debate how much of the killing was intentional but I wouldn't have thought it controversial to say that American natives, by and large, did not reap the benefits of co…

How is this being downvoted enough to be greyed out? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_the_Indi...

I think I see your point but 10% (or heck even 1%) of books being engaging and worthwhile is still more books than anyone could realistically read in a lifetime. Good books are a f…

I have noticed that there is a decent amount of regional (esp Salvadoran) slang that native Spanish speakers I know use that it doesn't recognize. This isn't a huge problem and it …

I agree, it seems like all the arguments that the use of data by AI should have no more restrictions than the use of data by humans hinge on the implicit (or sometimes explicit) as…
