I signed up for Kagi last month, and haven't used another search engine since.

I've already gotten my money back in time savings from good search results, I didn't realize they were also working on other valuable things like this as well.

This is much better than I expected, it's given a good answer for everything I've tried so far. https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://timecube.2enp.com > Dr. Gene Ray is a scientist and philosopher who has discovered the Time Cube, a mathematical proof that there are four simultaneous 24 hour days in a single rotation of the Earth. He believes that the academic and religious teaching of singularity is boring and e…

About the author Gene Ray: > Dr. Otis Eugene "Gene" Ray was an electrician and inventor who created the website for Time Cube in 1997. He proclaimed himself a Doctor of Cubism and Wisest Human in 2002 and was known for his anti-Semitic, homophobic, and racist views. He ran four separate websites, all revolving around his apparent insanity, and promised $10,000 to anyone who could refute the Time Cube theory. He died…

Oops, the summarizer lost some minus signs there! The original quote is actually

Tried it with one of my blog posts: https://learnbyexample.github.io/python-regex-surprises/

>This post provides a few examples of regular expressions that may surprise the reader. It covers topics such as the difference between the $ and \Z anchors, the use of start and end arguments for compiled methods, the behavior of undefined escape sequences, the use of octal and hexadecimal escapes in the replacement section, the behavior of quantifiers, and the difference between greedy and possessive quantifiers. It also highlights the importance of using keyword arguments when using the sub() function, and the need to use the regex module's constants when using the regex module. Overall, this post provides a great overview of some of the nuances of regular expressions.

At first I thought it was just making use of subheadings but on a closer look it does pick up points from the content. I think this could be very useful in trying to come up with short description for meta tags.

Edit: just saw that there's also a "Key Moments" button too!

>- The $ and \Z anchors are not equivalent. The $ anchor can match both the end of string and just before \n if it is the last character, while \Z will only match the end of string.

>- You can specify start and end index arguments for compiled methods.

>- When using the re.MULTILINE flag, the ^ and $ anchors will match at the start and end of every input line, and also after the last newline character.

>- Undefined escape sequences will raise an exception.

>- Only octal escapes are allowed inside raw strings in the replacement section.

>- Referring to the text matched by a capture group with a quantifier will give only the last match, not the entire match.

>- \b[a-z](on|no)[a-z]\b is not same as \b[a-z][on]{2}[a-z]\b.

>- (a*|b*) is not same as (a|b)*.

>- You should always pass flags as a keyword argument for the sub() function.

>- When using the regex module, the constants should also be used from the regex module.

> HappyWeb is a new project that aims to make the Web a better place by introducing new features such as more font sizes, more colors, alphabetized bookmarks, faster , Y2K problem solved, edible eye candy, no viruses, easier on the eyes, new HTML tags, and rules and punishments to make everyone happy. It also introduces new type styles such as , , , , and . Interesting features include the tag which produces an invisible field to drag the surfer's arrow-pointer towards it, and the tag which simplifies the use of smileys. Punishments for those who don't follow the rules include being framed, charged a nickel, and being forced to watch Fox television programming with HTML tags added.

Strange! Sometimes, when I pasted the link directly, it just shows "no healthy upstream". Click the second time on this article has the same effect. And there is no way to go back to it home page.

For some articles, it showed "No summary available at this moment, please try again later." Does it mean the engine is momentarily overloaded, or the summaries are not instant? Perhaps Kagi runs the AI summary service in the background, fed through a human pipeline, then published it? Otherwise, it's hard to explain the curation found by other users and now the non-availability.

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.

This works very well! The Key Moments options seems to contains a bit more "meat and potatoes" than the normal summary at this time. I had it summarize a textbook chapter on cartesian space in 3d game development: https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://gamemath.com/book/c...

The final sentence of the summary gave me a chuckle: "Interestingly, 360 can be divided evenly in a large number of cases without needing fractions, which was apparently a good thing to early civilizations."

As well, the Key Moments seemed to grab items that are probably not very important: "In 3DS Max, the default orientation of the axes is for +x to point right/east, +y to point forward/north, and +z to point up."

Cannot wait for this to get tied into Kagi search and for the possibility of an API.

Impressive. URL: https://qntm.org/responsibility Summary: > This story follows Tim and Diane, two scientists who have successfully built a quantum computer. They use it to simulate a universe, and eventually discover that they are in fact living in a simulation themselves.

Openai charges per token of input, a summarizing service where you feed it large amounts of input would have lousy economics.

Isn't the economics of all chatgpt related products just charging more than they paid for use?
