I appreciate the response and I'd like to reiterate that I might just not be the right user with the right expectations. Still, I hope it's useful to hear why someone might be on the fence about the product.

> (9 is probably a bug)

To clarify 9, the request is sent when clicking the cross on the Lens > Edit page rather on than visiting it. This also occurs when returning from maps. In both cases a new search is only billed when the cache has expired. Interestingly, from a totally naive user's perspective, maps don't appear to use up a search.

> If you know of other ways to do this, we are all ears.

I don't have an issue with charging for individual searches. On the whole I think it's a reasonable idea. I do think that some aspects of the UX encourage billing superfluous searches and that, on a purely financial level, Kagi is dis-incentivised from improving this.

Taking steps 5 and 6 as an example: there's no reason for these to be separate billable events. When viewing search results the user interface simply doesn't allow the user to select the sort order in the same operation they select the field. I sincerely doubt that this is intentional but it's easy to see the cynical take.

I think there's also a decent case for longer caching of results, giving users the option to refresh results if it's important they aren't stale. This avoids the current situation where a user might spend some time visiting the firsts webpage in the result set, return wishing to continue perusing subsequent results but end up triggering a billable event. The same applies should someone want to swap between web and images.

A quirk I noticed when trying to trigger shopping results was that searching for "best hair dryer" will display the shopping widget whereas searching "best hairdryer" does not, despite "showing results for best hair dryer" appearing as part of the search.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the feature but searching for variations on "cordless drill", "best cordless drill", "best cordless combi drill", "best cordless percussion drill" never returned any shopping results, should I have expected it to?

To expand on my prior point as to why moving to a total number of trial searches might be harmful to conversions. In evaluating the billing rules and shopping results, I'm now on search 46/100. I haven't yet got into a flow with the product. That might change over the next 50 searches but I still haven't explored: redirects, lenses, personalised results, fine tuning search settings, or just the broader search quality.
Well, and your favorite side will be offering to kit yours out to look like anybody you want.

Then someone will get permission to let you pay for first-person or pseudo-third-person streams from given customized combatants.

This will be a definite "personalization of warfare" moment.

Then special ops of the kind only previously imagined will cross the traditional extreme privacy barrier.

A group of teens will crowdfund a tremendously capable soccer/spec-ops bot that strongly resembles Christ Jesus. They will dress it in robes, swim it into the Spratleys, and it will emerge from the water, tie a crown of thorns around its head like Rambo, and then...it will be mowed down.

But this will only be the first exciting moment. I fully expect version 3 to make it past the beachhead.
Can you clue me in on how you did all that? I'd love some inspiration. That sounds really great.
While you're here, may I ask you a question?

I like duckduckgo but now I prefer bing, mostly for the bing chat inclusion. Yet I miss the ! shortcuts from DDG, and after trying it at a friend, I'd like to use Kagi too (so yes, I want everything and the kitchensync)

Would you have a product that would also use ! shortcuts and do some bing chat like search on top of Kagi?

By bing chat, I mean not just openai, but doing queries to augment the answer. I'd be happy to pay for it, especially if you offered an API to specify a few basics (ex: what is XX? Please augment your answer using results using this search query:" ")

I don't know what a service provider is in this case for sure, but I'll assume you mean something like Google Password Manager or iCloud Keychain or 1Password.

There's no guarantee that they will act in a user-beneficial manner, except they all already exist and already act in a user beneficial manner, and that there is no strategic benefit of acting in a user-hostile manner.

> With passwords, there is no way for the service provider to hide the cleartext password from you

Sure there is. They could refuse to do anything but form fill the passwords on registration and authentication pages, where the field in the browser will not allow you to copy the password back out.

The force that keeps them from doing such user-hostile behavior for lock-in today is that nobody would want to use that system. They would not use that vendor. It would be product suicide.

> effectively locking you into their ecosystem, and there is nothing you could do to avoid this.

Unlike passwords, sites are encouraged to allow you to register multiple passkeys. Some sites may push the user to do this for convenience, such as if they see user utilizing a security key or phone to authenticate into their desktop when the desktop is capable of doing passkeys directly.

This gives a whole new ability to jump ship if you decide you don't like your software vendor.

Now, there is a parallel question of "what if a vendor uses their monopolistic power to prevent an ecosystem from being created, and then acts in a user-malicious manner". I suspect they would quickly get multi-national scrutiny.

It depends on the ppint of view, and the goals of that point of view.

From an employee point of view the primary goal is to keep your job. Pay raises, perks, wfh etc are all secondary to that. If you are laid off that is a failure. If your colleague is laid off you start getting worried. You see the failure and respond to that.

Since the laid off person failed, both the laid-off and the remaining consider the company to have failed, and by extension the company bosses to have failed, and expect pain at management level.

This is a point of view, and it's shared by many employees, but its not the only point of view.

Another group of people are the shareholders. They couldn't care less about staffing being up or down. They care about the share price. Staff, and costs, being cut means more profit. More profit means higher dividends or higher stock price. [1]

So this is a successful action. From the point of view of the board (which are a proxy for the shareholders), this is a good-job and the management is rewarded accordingly.

Now most people are employees, and the press wants most people to click on the headline, so most people consider layoffs to be bad. Even if you hold a few Google shares, and directly benefit, you don't consider your good fortune, you see 12000 failures, and naturally feel compassion for them.

(By the end of the week/month/year the compassion will have faded, and you'll be back checking your share prices.)

There could have been an article on how well Google stock price is doing, and will do, but no-one would read that.

Now as to your assertion that we're focusing on the "wrong thing". From one point of view, yes, 12000 people directly failed. If each had 3 friends remain that's 36000 who are very nervous. Let's describe the next 100 000 people as "startled".

From the other point of view its all upside.

Personally I'm neither a Google employee nor a shareholder so I'm neutral. Of course I feel compassion for the laid off, I'm not a monster. But I also understand the rules of the capitalism game the US has chosen to play. The rules the US has chosen, and I suspect the rules those 12000 will staunchly defend, is that ultimately its about the money point of view, not the labor point of view.

Google is playing the game. If you care enough then go somewhere else, or work to change the game[2]. But at the very least acknowledge the game itself, and learn the rules.

[1] a share buy-back is just a dividend disguised for tax purposes, and for employee compensation purposes.

[2] changing the rules is hard because the game is bipartisan at grass-roots level. The American-Dream is literally to be the direct benefit of capitalism. The money-talks ethic is fundamental to the American way-of-life.

I love this part:

"The next step was to create a minimal Pythonic way to call MLIR directly. That wasn’t a big job at all, but it was all that was needed to then create all of Mojo on top of that – and work directly in Mojo for everything else. That meant that the Mojo devs were able to “dog-food” Mojo when writing Mojo, nearly from the very start. Any time they found something didn’t quite work great as they developed Mojo, they could add a needed feature to Mojo itself to make it easier for them to develop the next bit of Mojo!

This is very similar to Julia, which was developed on a minimal LISP-like core that provides the Julia language elements, which are then bound to basic LLVM operations. Nearly everything in Julia is built on top of that, using Julia itself."

I've always wanted to create a new language (probably visual) where the implementation of that language is open to be extended and changed right in the same context as where you use that language. A readily-accessible trap down to the next lower level of abstraction. I suspect this leads to more "expressivity" while being less code overall.

Sounds like Julia (as mentioned) as proven this is true and perhaps Mojo too.
It is fairly nice from a preservation perspective.

And a shame that software this old hasn't been released as open source by its owners, thus this cannot be used in any meaningful way.

We're talking about a framework here, not a programming language. I don't think the above poster's assessment about the amount of files needed for hello world offers a charitable conclusion either, given frameworks are not languages.

My Tesla has been great. It saw a pedestrian in all black at night in a cross walk that I didn’t see. The car stopped, and I think it saved a life. Auto pilot is super nice on the Highway and in stop and go traffic. FSD drives like an 8 year old stole the car and is driving for the first time :)

TLDR we’re going on a road trip next month and taking the Tesla. When taking the jeep was mentioned, no one wanted to drive, lol!
Plus they can guarantee big volumes. Even if only the pros get the new chip this year as rumored that’s still a very large order to make.

Next year it’s likely all iPhones (plus possibly iPads) will also be on the new process.

It looks like Apple sells around 200 million iPhones a year, and the two pro models are somewhat more popular combined than the non-pros.

So even if we assume 2/3rds of Apple sales are older models, the pros would still need around 40 million chips on the new process in the first year.

For comparison it looks like AMD sells about 80 million chips a year, across all CPU models.

How about making ChromeOS not suck? How about making it possible to do zero touch deployments without involving some shitty third party reseller that wants to take over your Admin Console with their insecure and crappy “plug-in”? How about not forcing people to work with shitty resellers at all?

There are so many things Google could be working on, that it is not. Having them eliminate staff, raise prices, defer and delay new features that have been missing for years, or leaving bugs on the table, while doing a stock buyback and lavishing money on the leadership that let OpenAI eat their lunch, or that is letting Microsoft embrace and extend his supposed wheelhouse, Chrome, or who shutdown Stadia and literally returned everyone’s money, …

The list goes on. I get that it’s popular to dump on Google employees as overpaid and underperforming, but the fact of the matter is that that is only true because Google ‘s CEO is a crappy as fuck leader. I’ve never worked at Google, have no desire to, but I fail to see how he doesn’t deserve the lion’s share of the blame for the litany of strategic and operational blunders that this company can continue to pave over with massive cash from their supposedly failing ads business.

I was an early adopter of Kagi but I cancelled the moment they started messing with the plans. I know I'd have the early adopter flag but I just felt betrayed by the messaging and I also don't want to use a search engine where I'm trying to think about how many searches I'm making and if I'm going over a certain number. The updates in the article look pretty good but I can't get past those two issues.

I do too. The ability for a smaller focused company to innovate and pivot to find unique markets is way different than what the platforms will ever offer. I suspect passkeys provide new ways to innovate beyond what they have been able to do with passwords in the past.

Assuming there is an ecosystem where they can play equally, I suspect they will find all sorts of ways to provide unique value. Their goal shouldn't to be the preferred system across all of Android or iOS, but to offer something a lot of people are willing to pay for.

> but the OS has no problem with such resolutions, or multiple displays

I don't recall the resolution, but there was a weekend where I was able to play around in a lab with several Mac IIfx machines. I was able to get one machine with a full set of video cards and arrange the monitors in 5 of 8 faces octagon and play a flight simulator where it could map different monitors to different viewing angles. So I had the front view, front angles, and shoulder views. It handled it with no apparent problems.

One of the machines that my father used was a IIfx that had a 32 bit color primary monitor, and then a 2 page 16 gray scale (that thing was monstrous) and a 1 page 16 gray scale monitor to either side.

Arresting those folks, putting them in solitary confinement, and holding them without bond when they were arrested for a non-violent charge and have no previous criminal record - that is more of an intimidation tactic than any fliers could be.
RxJS _used to be_ more intuitive, IMO. Around version 5 or so the API changed to use `.pipe` instead of simply chaining operators. Also, some functions were renamed to be (unintentionally, one assumes) more opaque. Such as `flatMapLatest` -> `switchMap`.

Anyhow, there's definitely a learning curve but what it provides is very powerful. It's unfortunate, IMO, that the API has become less approachable over the years.
Yea theoretically, but in memory latency tests the M series chips are well behind Intel and AMD systems.

> The idea is that it shouldn't be possible for someone to phish your passkey, because lives on a piece of hardware and signs challenges, but is not transmitted to the requesting party (or to anyone).

Passkeys don't live only on the device. iOS syncs to the cloud. They're not unphishable. You can lose your iPhone, get a new iPhone and get all of your passkey logins without having access to the old iPhone. If someone tricks you into giving access to your iCloud account, they can get your passkeys. Heck, if someone tricks you into doing an airdrop, they can get a passkey from you.

The whole "these are locked to the device" ship has very much sailed at this point.

That's a conscious compromise to security because Apple has decided (I think correctly) that the security gain from blocking backup to the cloud is not actually high enough to justify how much less accessible passkeys would be without that feature.

So I don't buy that it's security that's blocking them from also allowing syncing to other places other than iCloud.

> You are describing the tradeoff made by passkeys, yes.

More to the point though, I wish people would lead with this and not start out by saying, "oh, they're just as portable and easy to back up as a normal password."

They're not, there's a tradeoff here. You can not just make an encrypted vault of all of your passkeys and stick that on a USB drive. And that's a tradeoff that was so severe that every major OS provider got together and extended the standard to allow cloud sync for keys.

Should they have done that? :shrug: But if someone is asking if they can do the same thing with passkeys that they do with their password manager, the answer is 'no'. You can not export all of your passkeys to an encrypted vault and stick it on a flash drive or sync it to another device using syncthing. Your options are a lot more limited, and the way it's advised to get around that is to authenticate multiple devices for each account.

In theory it's something that might be supported in the future? In practice, it's not supported by anyone right now.

Indeed! The concept of Monad is simple and very useful; once you learn it, you start seeing it everywhere.

JS Promises are not completely monadic though, because a Promise that resolves into a Promise is always effectively auto-flattened into a single Promise. But most of the time other monadic properties of Promises can be used despite this.
