In modern browsers, Text fragments let you highlight specific portions of text on a page, be it at the bottom or anywhere. In Chrome, just highlight the text and right click -> Copy link to highlight.

I use it every day instead of anchors to highlight very specific parts of the text, to avoid referring to the whole section with an anchor. Some pages don't even have anchors

I'm also confused by that, but it could just be the model being agreeable. I've seen multiple examples posted online though where it's fairly clear that the COT output is not included in subsequent turns. I don't believe Anthropic is public about it (could be wrong), but I know that the Qwen team specifically recommend against including COT tokensfrom previous inferences.

About six months ago I went to a government auction site that required Internet Explorer. Yes, Internet Explorer. The site was active, too; the auction data was up-to-date. I added a user-agent extension in Chrome, switched to IE, retried and it worked; all functionality on the site was fine. So yeah, I was both sad and annoyed. My guess is this government office paid for a website 25 years ago and it hasn't been updated since.

For 2/3 — isn’t it just another api call to get the mappings [solving 6 as a side effect] then somehow wiring it up to the frontend like you already do?

The sidebar greying out the foreground now and not able to stay locked REALLY breaks flow. Fixing that slightly mitigates.

It’s amazing tho and I’ll subscribe soon enough.

I really think you should read Dan's post in full. Because you really did make the error him and Hillel discuss. I think it'll also help interpret my point and the gp to my comment. We're not thinking in a framework where CS and Eng are all that different.

Or skip to this part of Hillel's video[0]

I've been an aerospace engineer. Worked there before coming over to CS. And I can certainty tell you that yes, someone may ask you to split a floor in half. There's nothing really preventing you from doing this. There's buildings with more levels than there are ordered floors. It's a 15 floor building, but you label your floors 1-14. Such an area can be used for things like running conduit or even just as a fire break. Hell, there are even split level homes, you know those ones where you walk in the front door and either go up or down? There's also things like scissor flats.

So yeah, you are making the mistake because your example belies you. It illustrates that you aren't aware of the complexities and abstractions in the engineering job. It's okay to have only a rudimentary understanding of engineering, you've spent your time learning other things that are more valuable to you. But that doesn't mean you should assume things are simpler than they are.

The truth is that any job, has depth and far more complexity than appears at the surface. While in many jobs you can get away with only doing the simple part, there's still more depth than is actually being utilized. Likely for the same common error. You are right about cost being a big factor, but this is also a very different argument than the one about floor 8 and a half.

The question follows the discussion taking place. The specific subject was broached, but has been lacking in details. It would be inappropriate to state that it is independent of the topic. It is clearly not.

If you don't want to participate in the discussion, that's okay, but inventing nonsense to make that statement is, well, curious. I suggest not responding is the best way to communicate that you do not wish to participate, but to each their own, I suppose.

We're far from AI. There is no intelligence. The fact the industry decided to move the goal post and re-brand AI for marketing purposes doesn't mean they had a right to hijack a term that has decades of understood meaning. They're using it to bolster the hype around the work, not because there has been a genuine breakthrough in machine intelligence, because there hasn't been one.

Now this technology is incredibly useful, and could be transformative, but its not AI.

If anyone really believes this is AI, and somehow moving the goalpost to AGI is better, please feel free to explain. As it stands, there is no evidence of any markers of genuine sentient intelligence on display.

> It was easier to have non-threatening debates because everyone felt more secure. When people are stressed and afraid, the debates aren’t just intellectual exercises but things that could mean the loss of real opportunities in their lives.

You’re right that people feel less secure, but that doesn’t mean that they are correct when they feel that.

By pretty much any measure, I believe that people in 2025 are far more secure than they were in 1975, 1985 or 1995.

When I first heard that Android was based on Linux, I thought, "Great! I'll be able to use my phone the way I use my desktop, with shell scripts, cron tasks, etc."

The reality was quite a disappointment. I suppose I could do at least some of the things I'd like to do with it if I rooted it, but I don't want to become a full-on hobbyist; I just want to do basic things that I routinely do in seconds on a normal PC.

> It does not include cases like someone dying in a car crash who happened to be COVID-positive.

Maybe not, but it definitely includes millions of elderly or otherwise comorbid subjects who developed pneumonia and never recovered. Sad is it is, that happens year-in and year-out when the initial virus doesn't have a household name.

It also happens with the influenza virus ... except 2020 and 2021, where we had a miraculous reprieve from flu deaths.

Ask HN: Claude Pro vs. Claude via Kagi Ultimate
by miek | 2025-04-03 18:25:05+00:00
A subscription to Claude Pro gives access to Extended Thinking and the web (via Brave). A subscription to Kagi Ultimate gives Claude with Extended Thinking, as well as many other LLM models, access to the Kagi search engine.

On one hand, giving Claude access to Kagi should be superior to Brave. However, I don't know if the quality of Claude in Kagi is truly equivalent to Claude via a subscription through Anthropic.

Has anyone done a serious comparison of the two?

Thanks!

Is it really necessary to highlight the heading at all?

I’m a passionate frontend engineer, but I do think we are often busy “asking if we could”, and ignore “if we should”.

Worth noticing, on mobile you can’t even read the conclusion in the “it’s beautiful” demo, because the navigation covers it.

I understand that it is just a demo, and that issue could be solved independently…

But I think it also points at the observation that when you try to do these kinds of unusual things, you open yourself to unintended consequences.

And while you can mitigate those consequences one by one, my experience is that you generally won’t have a chance nailing them all, unless you are also minimizing their number… by not getting too fancy.

> had to iterate with them for 4/5 times each. Gemini got it right but then used deprecated methods

How hard would it be to automate these iterations?

How hard would it be to automatically check and improve the code to avoid deprecated methods?

I agree that most products are still underwhelming, but that doesn't mean that the underlying tech is not already enough to deliver better LLM-based products. Lately I've been using LLMs more and more to get started with writing tests on components I'm not familiar with, it really helps.

> For the last 20 years at least, the leadership of the two main political parties in the US have largely invested in messaging around the values that they represent.

Except that the "values" each promotes are often inconsistent with other "values" they promote, sometimes to the point of absurd irrationality, e.g. marijuana vs tobacco or alcohol.

And other "values" are completely independent, but correlate so highly that "tribalism" is a much better explainer, e.g. abortion and guns.

> and into a world where the parties policies are aiming to realize fundamentally different visions of the world, based on fundamentally different values.

That's not new.

On a very high level, the two major parties do want everyone to be healthy, wealthy and wise -- the issue is that they disagree on what those words mean, and what should be sacrificed (and by whom) to achieve it, which means the two major parties have always had very different visions of the future.

> If you discover that someone has completely different values from you, then discussing policy isn't going to be useful anyway, because there's no way you'll agree on a single policy when you have different fundamental values.

And that right there is a call to tribalism: Don't bother with Those People, They Have Different Values, They Aren't Like Us.

Oh, sorry to hear that you have to deal with that!

The way I'm getting a sense of the progress is using AI for what AI is currently good at, using my human brain to do the part AI is currently bad at, and comparing it to doing the same work without AI's help.

I feel like AI is pretty close to automating 60-80% of the work I would've had to do manually two years ago (as a full-stack web developer).

It doesn't mean that the remaining 20-40% will be automated very quickly, I'm just saying that I don't see the progress getting any slower.

You typed a really long comment, but you're not talking about the same thing. Listening to an ad before a song starts is very obviously not part of the music, even if it's part of "the experience of listening to music (on a streaming service)." The ad before a song plays is not included in the song's official runtime.

You're essentially describing the time the audience sits waiting for the orchestra to walk onto the stage as being "part of the experience of going to the orchestra." Which is fine, but it's not considered part of the song (unless the composer's quirky and writes "walk onto the stage" at the beginning of the music sheets, which is basically what this guy did with the 17-month rest).

Moreover, nobody was actually sitting in that cathedral for 17 months listening to the first rest. If a 17-month rest is played in the middle of a forest and nobody hears it, was it really a 17-month rest? Who experienced that "experience?"

We built an open source remote MCP server that can automatically serve documentation from every Github project. Simply replace github.com with gitmcp.io in the repo URL - and you get a remote MCP server that serves and searches the documentation from this repo (llms.txt, llms-full.txt, readme.md, etc). Works with github.io as well. Repo here: https://github.com/idosal/git-mcp

That whole section seems to be pretty directly based on DeepSeek's "very impressive work" with R1 being simultaneously very impressive, and several months behind OpenAI. (They more or less say as much in footnote 36.) They blame this on US chip controls just barely holding China back from the cutting edge by a few months. I wouldn't call that a knock on Chinese innovation.

Microsoft seems doomed either way. Microsoft tried to drop their own implementations of OpenID/OAuth providers and they tried supporting IdentityServer and made it a part of some base templates and IdentityServer said that was the reason they "needed" to make it commercial and blamed Microsoft for directing too much traffic their way. If Microsoft builds their own library instead of pointing people to an open source offering it looks like favoritism and competition and "we need to go commercial to survive". If Microsoft points people to an open source offering it looks like "a flood of traffic and we need to go commercial to survive".

Microsoft even donates regularly to things like GitHub Sponsorships and the major open source foundations/conservatories, so even in the case of "too much traffic" it isn't like Microsoft is trying to shirk that bill, even though it is very easy to accuse them of that.

Thanks for writing all this down! I've written a lot of Rust, which was why I was drawn to RMK initially, but ran into a lot of the same headaches as the author, but without the perseverance to resolve any of them.

I did manage to get QMK working eventually, but without VIA/L the prospect of having to flash the two parts of my Ferris Sweep every single time I wanted to fine tune it, and having already spent a lot of time just getting that far, completely burned me out on the project.

> US tech companies are about to be used as the biggest punching bag in history by the European Union. They’ll negotiate first, for sure, because that’s what the EU likes to do, but for sure the fines and reciprocal non-tariff barriers are going to only expand for US tech firms in the very near future if the Trump admin doesn’t want to negotiate.

For sure this will happen but there is a reason. The EU turned a blind eye on a lot of dark patterns used by the biggest players (such as lenient approach to scams that are omnipresent on Facebook, Instagram, Google platforms) and whatever these companies did they knew they might get a slap on the wrist maximum. Now that good relations are over, why would the EU tolerate this shit?

Humans also post-rationalize the things their subconscious "gut feeling" came up with.

I have no problem for a system to present a reasonable argument leading to a production/solution, even if that materially was not what happened in the generation process.

I'd go even further and pose that probably requiring the "explanation" to be not just congruent but identical with the production would either lead to incomprehensible justifications or severely limited production systems.

> transphobic but support abortion so they have always voted Democrat

This is the NYT if you want a high-profile example of this existing in the real world.

I worked with a guy who was a goldmine of odd but sincerely held political opinions that subverted the usual narratives. He was (I guess still is) gay but believed that trans people shouldn't serve in the military because he saw that they didn't get the treatment they needed. He wanted everyone to have guns as a protection against crooked cops-- he was from a small town. He was against single-payer healthcare because he thought the government would use it as a political weapon. He was was in theory anti-union because he thought union benefits should just be turned into labor protections for everyone instead of just being for union jobs and supported them only as a stopgap. He was pro-solar/wind and had an electric car not for any environmental reason but because he didn't want to be reliant on the greedy power company.

China has direct copies of our Reaper drones, they aren't some advanced technology, they are very simple craft actually, and descend from essentially target drones and some toys the navy put together in the 80s.

>but they aren't helping to establish air superiority.

A reaper style drone does nothing for air superiority. It's not meant to. It's a surveillance and ground attack platform. It has no means of equipping or targeting actual air to air munitions meant for Air Superiority.

Why did you believe the MQ9 was relevant to air superiority? Or some special machine that China couldn't make?

It’s easy to name essential services that the government must perform, but it’s also true that there are clearly functions that can be carried out by less people more efficiently and also functions the government is performing that shouldn’t be done.

We have an enormous budget deficit.

I really feel it’s a breath of fresh air to have an administration going line by line through our expenses and trying to improve upon them and it’s long overdue. If you compare it to George Bush, the last republican president who’s goal was to simply privatize everything and seemed to have just created a class of contractors who make government more expensive and try to charge as much as possible or Biden and Obama who hired tons of people and created large deficits.

I don’t find myself agreeing with the language Trump uses, but their actual goals make a lot of sense and we should find a way to meet in the middle and accept that changes are necessary and ideal.

A political theory has been presented several times now: Asserting "You must <insert expectation>" does not create an obligation.

While you have put in every effort to skirt around the theory, my take is that you must reject it. Your replies would not fit otherwise. On the basis of that that assumption,

- You are now obligated to make me lunch. I have asserted that you must do it.

But what does that mean? We both know you aren't actually going to do it. You aren't going to feel remorse when you don't do it. You will suffer no consequences if you don't do it. What, exactly, is trying to be communicated with the word "obligation"?

Per the dictionary, one must be compelled into an obligation. It is being compelled that adds sufficient information to justify the use of the word in that context. But where does it find information under your pet definition?

For the average person, the benefits of having your own email domain are not very weighty compared to the risks, complexities, spent social capital, and inconvenience of having one.

For most people, if they want or need to switch email providers they will simply sign up for a new service, give people their new address, and move on with their life.

This whole conversation is a lot to do about something that the average joe just doesn't give a shit about. It isn't laziness. It really isn't that important of a life task for most. It's an appropriate prioritization of tasks under a lifestyle different than yours.
