I saw this discussed on Marginal Revolution today as well.

My main question is whether the gains are fundamentally zero-sum, at least in the short term. Some districts implement flexible pay and some don’t, and then the best teachers move to get paid more. And the places that get left behind…?

In the long-run, increased pay ought to lead to more high-quality teachers entering the profession. But in the short term, this scheme seems likely to redistribute talent in ways that reinforce existing patterns of inequality.

Meh, Perplexity is just GPT/Claude/Gemini with a mediocre web search attached to it. The latest rumours about them adding ads to their search and the fact that they are VC-funded do not prospect such a bright future for it.
You are right... up until maybe the second reply.

Vlad saw something critical of his hard work and wanted to put in the effort to clarify his stances and mend a relationship. I can absolutely understand that, your work is a reflection of yourself and nobody wants to be judged on misunderstanding. He might've even felt like he let someone who cared about Kagi down and wanted to make it right. Again, all understandable!

However, twice, the blog post author said they did not want to engage. At this point, regardless of how you feel about what was said, you should probably move on; they said their piece, you tried to engage, they rebuffed, oh well, do something else! To continue on is both incredibly annoying and a bit unhinged.

If Vlad absolutely felt like he needed to respond to this, he should've digested the main points of the original blogpost, reflected on them, and written his own blog post to a more general audience. Not necessarily in _response_ to the author, but understanding that more people probably feel this way as well and want to hear clear answers. Perfect examples of this would be an "Our stance on privacy" or "How we're ensuring Kagi's future," again factoring in the criticism from the author.

I write all of this as someone who pays for and likes Kagi. I think it's a good product, if a bit scattered at times. But the blog post does hit on some concerns that I have (privacy being the biggest) and seeing the follow up leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

And here I thought (PCIe) P2P was there since SLI dropped the bridge (for the unfamiliar, it looks and acts pretty much like an NVLink bridge for regular PCIe slot cards that have NVLink, and was used back in the day to share framebuffer and similar in high-end gaming setups).
As the author points out, "What constitutes a unit? Is it a function? A class?"

If you test to a function, or a class, then your tests imply that function or class must be present, with that specific API.

In my experience, most people write unit tests for internal implementation details that are irrelevant to the business domain. They end up inhibiting code change rather than encouraging change, because anything changes often require re-evaluating each failing test to see if it was meaningful in the first place - and if 100s of tests are no longer meaningful, it's easy to skip the couple of tests which are true regression tests.

As the author writes, full end-to-end tests "are often slow, cumbersome, hard to debug and tend to be flaky."

Instead, find the internal interfaces which tied to the business logic ("something that delivers value to a paying client"), and write the tests to that. You can use unit test frameworks for that sort of functional testing.

Not sure how you think US policy is controlled by anyone other than rich people...
It's very likely not true that those countries want to invade Europe in the traditional sense.
Which is why mini splits are not very popular here. The install ends up costing so much. Labor is not cheap in US/Canada, and install is a lot of labor. Still seems like it should be cheaper though.

There doesn’t exist a LLM trained only on expressly licensed data that works well enough for the image diffusion conditioning task. So unless they made some kind of huge scientific discovery, which they didn’t, they are using a text model like T5 or CLIP to achieve the “text” part of “text to image”, which of course is trained on not expressly licensed data.

I checked again and that is the first screen I get from firefox when I click on the link.

After a second look it is totally facultative popup to install as PWA while one end up on the regular web page when clicking anywhere else in the screen. The main issue is since that popup appear immediately, the immediate reaction most people using anything else but chrome and edge will to close the tab and reject it.

EDIT: I also checked on epiphany/Gnome Web (which supports PWA) and I also get the "Install Agora popup", but it seems to recognize my browser as Safari on MacOS and gives me instructions for Safari. I know that it is complicated to come up with instructions for myriads of different browsers but having false positives aren't really constructive. I think that Install Agora popup prompt should not appear automatically but be activated by a button on the side of the page.
> PackageKit-command-not-found

This one is so pathetically slow on Fedora that I find it counterproductive. Also, at least as of a year or two ago (I haven’t checked since then), PackageKit maintained its own, large, cache, thus wasting a surprising amount of space in /var.
>courts typically don’t let you sign away are things like your freedom.

This is exactly my point. An AI that can replace you, personally, is closer to signing away your identity or freedom than the rights to display a specific already completed work.

Aren't you assuming that rich districts with higher grades implement flexible pay? I think it would be the poor districts with worse grades that would be most likely to want to shake things up.
I tried out rye + uv on a recent greenfield project. They are awesome tools and I'm really excited about their potential.

For me, rye (+ uv underneath) has perhaps the perfect workflow for an open source Python project. So I'm definitely using rye for that from now on -- instead of, say, poetry -- or hatchling directly, following the PyPA boilerplate[1].

You have a way of doing local development against any Python interpreter version. You have a way of tweaking dependencies and a straightforward sync/lock workflow. It all works atop "standard" PyPA infrastructure like pyproject.toml. You have a single command to build[1] project artifacts, like wheels. And you have a single command to publish new artifact versions to PyPI[2].

I think if you're doing local development on a project that is not meant to be published to PyPI, like a private Django project, then whether to use rye becomes more of a debate. For example, for a Django project I'm working on, I decided to just use uv directly, along with a Makefile. This is because during development of a Django project, I preferred to just use a plain requirements.txt (really, requirements.in) file, avoid the sync/lock workflow that rye imposes, and avoid the need to use something like "rye run". And rye's ability to build and package didn't solve a problem this project had, since the Django project wasn't being deployed via a PyPA packaging mechanism.

But this is probably also because the Python interpreter management problem, for me, is already handled by pyenv. I think if you're not already a pyenv user, rye is even more appealing because it handles "all" of the Python issues -- interpreters, requirements/dependencies, and packaging/publishing. (As well as a number of other standard dev-time issues besides, like testing, linting, and formatting.) But, in my case, I could hand venv management to uv, and then make dependency management part of a larger Makefile for my Django project, including custom linting, testing, and deployment steps. I wrote a little bit about my high level thoughts on Python packaging and dependency management, though this post was written before rye and uv were out.[4] If I were to update this post now, I'd say that you could swap uv for pyenv-virtualenv + pip-tools and be happier for it, and you could swap rye for the PyPA boilerplate. That is, you could upgrade to rye, or use it from the start, if you need packaging support, or if you like its dev-time workflow.

I'll also say, I found a little bug in how rye (+ hatch) interacted with my local git setup, and reported it to the rye team, and they helped me get to the bottom of it rather quickly.[5]

It cautioned me that "it's important to recognize the limitations of such tools" and said:

From Zweig, The World of Yesterday, it would appear that (as with lines of bank credit) travel documents are the sorts of things you'd like to have before you really need them.

As many HN readers know, the flexibility of startups comes from being able to achieve similar outcomes with different mixes of time, money, and staffing to larger entities.

Just as a thought-exercise for hackers (who delight in solving problems which do not exist in the real world, especially when they involve artificial constraints), can you figure out some good ways to leave your country assuming that you have (a) almost no time, (b) almost no money, or (c) almost no chance of expecting help —or even neutrality— from strangers?
It isn't an economic problem but rather a political one. People don't like it when their freedoms are restricted, and that is the direction this country is rapidly going in. For example if abortion is outlawed nationwide with no exceptions then it helps to have an alternate passport and a private jet ready to take you anywhere you need to for medical care.
Not at the scale we're talking about here. These structures are very thin, far thinner than bond wires which is about the largest structure size you can handle without a very, very specialized lab. And you'd need to unsolder the chip, de-cap it, hope the fuse wire you're trying to override is at the top layer, and that you can re-cap the chip afterwards and successfully solder it back on again.

This may be workable for a nation state or a billion dollar megacorp, but not for your average hobbyist hacker.
As a paying user since day 1, I do not give a rat's arse about AI. In fact, I have moved away from Google because they have focused so much on AI their search got worse to the point of being useless.

I paid for a good search engine that respects my queries and does not try to outsmart me. The more Kagi focuses on AI, and making an """intelligent""" search engine, basically replicating Google's missteps, is the day I stop giving them money. I've already been noticing some of my keywords are being ignored or reinterpreted. Please stop that.

I don't care about email either. I am paying Fastmail for it, and I certainly know better than to attach my search history to my email account, especially when it's from an AI company. Is the goal here to copy Google?

To all startup owners: there is more to software quality and user experience than trying to fit the AI buzzword in anything you do. Stop following the hype and focus on building a damn good product.
https://firecamp.dev/ is the best that I've found. It supports the things I care about most.
It's not like they've gone all-in on AI though. Going through their changelog https://kagi.com/changelog it looks like they regularly make improvements to their core product and there've been a lot of significant QoL improvements in recent months. Just the Wolfram change alone has cut my need for Google significantly.

The one thing I really hope they put more work into is searching for local news. That's one of the areas where I still have to turn to Google.

I'll counter that the American having a million dollars USD also has a lot more in expenses than the average global citizen. The cost of living in the US is quite high. From a certain vantage point, we should encourage those Americans to leave and take their money and distribute it elsewhere in the world.
Don't forget that the US will lowkey fuck you every chance they get if you give up your passport.

You need to come back? Better be ready for your visa to get lost five times and a random 6 hour interrogation at the border.

It's easier to get into the US on an Iranian passport than on a UK passport when you've given up American citizenship.
The US Rich are the once who brought the US to the state it is in. Their 50+ year support of the GOP and tax cutting for the rich did more harm to US then anything else.

With things looking like the GOP and a certifiable nut case about to take over the US, they want to have the option to flee before the people scammed by the GOP realized they were taken to the cleaners.

With that said, China is already on the edge, and should the US economy crash, it will take China with it then the world will follow. But I doubt any crash will happen as long as the Fed can remain fully independent of politics.

b) is not legal, people have gotten fined for interfering with RF signals on their own property (e.g. stores, restaurants etc). People interfering with GPS or cellular on their own property is also common and highly illegal, and I assume the same laws would apply to wifi. Problem is you can't stop RF propagating off your property lines in that scenario, and noise jamming in the wifi bands can effect other more sensitive equipment that operate in the same bands. But like most things FCC related, you can likely get away with it if you aren't egregious.

a) I've never been quite sure. People do testing in Faraday cages so there has to be some exception. I'm pretty sure as long as you aren't interfering externally and are being responsible nobody is gonna fine you.

Yeah the everything is politics take is nonsense. Certainly anything can be made to be about politics, but it doesn’t have to be (and shouldn’t be).

Also, anyone who can say with a straight face that their preferred political party is aligned with the truth, while the opposition is aligned with lies loses credibility. People lie about anything whenever it suits them, and in politics and the news that is rather often.

It just so happens that they like what the one side is saying and not what the others are saying. So the one side must be good and telling the truth, and the other is bad and full of liars.

I'm very skeptical of the claim that most rich people have a second passport, especially for any reasonably inclusive definition of rich. If it's cheap and easy based on recent ancestry? Sure. But, as you say, it's just not that useful outside of narrow circumstances and doesn't provide any tax advantages if you keep your US passport as well.

its a fascinating little tech-anthropology quirk that front-end/web developers use the term "CDN" to mean a different thing from how devops/sre/infra people use the term.

in the strictest sense, unpkg is not a cdn. unpkg is a javascript library hosting service that uses cloudflare as a cdn. cloudflare is not down, therefore this headline "unpkg cdn down..." reads as a massive "oh shit!" to infra/devops type cloudflare customers who then have to immediately worry that their site is down, only to realize no, they're fine, this is just devs using the term to mean a different thing (roughly: "third party javascript host").
I've paid for both Kagi and Perplexity, and I get much more value with Perplexity. But hey, if people want to stay with Kagi, that's fine. I just don't see why anyone would when there is a better alternative.
