> The Turner Diaries is a novel by Andrew Mac Donald (William Pierce) that follows the story of a man named Turner, a member of a revolutionary organization that is fighting against the oppressive System. Turner and his comrades use acts of terror, sabotage, and violence to fight against the System, and they eventually succeed in overthrowing it. The novel follows Turner's journey as he and his comrades struggle to s…

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 discussion on HN is incredibly frustrating. They hijack every thread. They even post about HN being their main source of customers. They have hacked HN, no two ways about it.

For anyone who might feel I am being unreasonable or that this post was somehow wrong-headed, this is Wikipedia's description of The Turner Diaries.

"The Turner Diaries is a 1978 novel by William Luther Pierce, published under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald. It depicts a violent revolution in the United States which leads to the overthrow of the federal government, a nuclear war, and, ultimately, a race war which leads to the systematic extermination of non-whites. All groups opposed by the novel's protagonist, Earl Turner—including Jews, non-whites, "liberal actors", and politicians—are murdered en masse."

The commenter was reasonable.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

>Maybe Kagi has HN hug of death but it returns the 'no summary available' message for me now. what are you entering? It's not a search engine, you need to insert a link to an article, book, pdf, video etc... Look at the examples.

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.

If this is the case then it all works for me on the Kagi's summarizer (using your example).

I fed it my own blog post: https://maheepk.net/posts/nothing-to-display/

> This week, a person experienced the consequences of a broken MacBook Pro display after a fluke of probability. They had to resort to using Duet to connect their iPad as a display, and Apple's Sidecar was found to be completely useless. The person learned lessons about Apple's products, such as the need for more durable displays, and the usefulness of Duet. They also learned lessons about software development, such as the importance of testing accessibility for blind users. Despite the unfortunate incident, the person is still looking for a way to make the best of the situation.

Compliment aside, seems like a good feature for Orion browser. Great work.

This is really cool. Do you have an API? :)

We do, and we thought about opening this as a part of other APIs we already have. How would you price this?

GPT cannot currently do this (for long documents), and you have a commonly requested use case. For now you can charge as much as they do and have a decent business I'm guessing, but future depends on LLMs from OpenAI and other getting into this space.

I would also like to see controllable length output if that's feasible with your model.

I was an early paying Kagi user but started using !g more and more over the last few month. I am not sure what they changed. Recently I decided to switch my default search back to Google as basically in 90% of all search queries I found the result I searched for on Google instead of Kagi.

I'm the opposite; I use Google less and less.

Not bad with a single out of context chapter from a genre web fiction serial that is hard to understand without context. The language and writing style sounds a LOT like ChatGPT. Feels like the model asked a bunch of different questions (what is interesting to note, what's important, etc.)

>Jessica Yamada is a therapist working with a patient, Victoria, who is struggling with the possibility of uncontrollable, incurable plagues. Jessica is also dealing with a malfunctioning suit that has interrupted her sessions with her patient. She is also dealing with a colleague who is making her out to be a freak. Jessica is also trying to help a young woman, Lily, who is torn between fatalism and wanting to help her friends stick together. Finally, Jessica is talking to Eidolon, a powerful man who is losing his powers and is trying to fight a monster to the death. It is interesting to note that Jessica is trying to help her patients in a variety of ways, from providing coping mechanisms to offering moral support.

Also, unintentionally got this line perfect (given later story stuff...)

'a powerful man who is losing his powers and is trying to fight a monster to the death'

One of the things I find myself doing a lot is trying to make sense of a given HN discussion -- so I fed an archived version of this discussion to the summarizer: ( https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://archive.is/HdWx7 ): > Universal Summarizer is a tool developed by Kagi that is able to quickly and accurately summarize articles, videos, and other texts.
