Most of my searches still use traditional search engines for two reasons:

- If I am seeking technical information, I would rather get it from the original source. It is often possible to do that with a search. The output from an LLM is not going to be the original source. Even with dealing with secondary sources, it is typically easier to spot red flags in a secondary source than it is with the output of an LLM.

- I often perform image searches. I have no desire for generated images, though I'm not going to object to one if someone else "curated" the outputs of an AI model.

That said, I will use an LLM for things that aren't strictly factual. i.e. I can judge if it is good enough for my needs by simply reading it over.
There was an interview with Eric Schmidt of Google on PBS around 2006 where he describes having multiple results for a search query is a "Bug" and there should be only one answer. It was interesting how OpenAI was first to market with ChatGPT beating out Google in this space. Its also interesting how the current Google CEO was not asked to step down after the flawed initial launch of Gemini.

Even proprietary software in those times was accessible via piracy, and was generally tolerated/accepted as long as it wasn't for profit (in fact it benefited the software authors by allowing users to learn the usage of their software, for which they'd then push their future employers to buy).

And by then Republicans and Democrats will be pointing fingers at the incompetency of the government, which then leads to the incompetency of the electorate which half will deny and blame the system being against them, which leads to more finger pointing and inaction.

And voila, democracy sucks, move to monarchy, just like the Vance Thiel Sacks Musk Yarvin fan club want.

We had to get rid of the Congress because it wouldn't take action! We had no choice but to empower a single strong leader who would do what needed to be done!

This is a trap. We're in hybrid warfare. Putin must be chortling Sovietly.

Interesting. Let me offer you a different perspective.

Moldable Development is different from Literate Programming in at least two ways:
- Literate Programming is focused on a single narrative. In contrast, a system can be seen in many ways.
- Literate Programming has a fixed environment, and mixes text and code. In contrast, Moldable Development emphasizes the importance of the tool as an essential artifact through which to explain the system.

While Literate Programming does talk about explaining systems, I find it too limiting. Instead, we start from the observation that figuring systems out to know what to do next is the single most expensive activity in software engineering; thus it's more interesting to regard software engineering as a decision making activity about an ever changing system. This stands in contrast to the pervasive idea of software engineering as a construction activity. Optimizing for decision making leads to a new set of practices that are not an increment compared to what those typical used today.

Glamorous Toolkit looks odd exactly because we optimized for something else that others disregard.
We are actually using Apache ECharts to visualize system performance data in real-time using eBPF.

You're not harming anyone with grooming and pump up your resume to give yourself the best possible chance. Jobs aren't assigned and reserved to people from birth based on fate in order to be something you can steal from them with this. You don't deserve a job just because, you have to compete and interview for it like everyone else, and if you can get it and do the job, then good for you.

If you're better prepared or better at selling yourself at the interview, then you're the one who's gonna get the job. If someone with less/no experience takes your job then maybe you suck at interviewing and need to get better, or maybe the interview process is bad at judging top candidates, but either way it's your responsibility to adapt to the variable interview process and prove yourself versus the other candidates using whichever way you can: work, practice, connections, insider knowledge, cheating, etc. Nothing in life is fair, everyone tries to play their best hand all the time and honesty is not always rewarded, which you'll find out the hard way.

Everyone deserves exactly what they manage get for themselves. That's exactly how meritocracy works. You're not entitled to deserve a job from the start, out of of some holy moral principle. There's no such thing as "I deserve", there's only "I competed, and I won/lost".

I switched my default search engine in my browser to perplexity.ai a few months ago and am super happy with it. The only time I use Google anymore is to specifically visit www.google.com and put site:example.com in the search field, when I know the results I am looking for are only found within that site. I've only had to do that five or six times in the last few months.

And yes, just plain old Google search is completely lackluster in comparison to the perplexity.ai search I get to do today.

Anybody have experience using echarts with Vue 2.6? This looks way easier to implement than chart.js, but I’m worried about compatibility with such an old Vue build.
That is such an inane opinion by the author. I wonder if he/she knows central banks can literally print money. Helping to move it around is nothing, and benefits everyone.
> i'd like to see an example

Why? You are clearly missing the point and lack imagination. Another example won't satisfy you the way you think it will.
> criticizing the humans that are using AI to replace workers, instead of criticizing AI itself

I think you misunderstand OP's point. An employer saying "we only hire experienced developers [therefore worries about inexperienced developers being misled by AI are unlikely to manifest]" doesn't seem to realize that the AI is what makes inexperienced developers. In particular, using the AI to learn the craft will not allow prospective developers to learn the fundamentals that will help them understand when the AI is being unhelpful.

It's not so much to do with roles currently being performed by humans instead being performed by AI. It's that the experienced humans (engineers, doctors, lawyers, researchers, etc.) who can benefit the most from AI will eventually retire and the inexperienced humans who don't benefit much from AI will be shit outta luck because the adults in the room didn't think they'd need an actual education.

No opinion on this particular package. But on the naming, "Apache" ECharts...

It's long since time that Apache foundation projects stop using the Apache name. Apache is a license, a foundation, a webserver. Apache supported projects have little to do with that - not the same people, not the same product area. Just some help with money and logistics.

And for those that argue the tie to the Apache org:

They're not CNCF Kubernetes, CNCF Helm, CNCF Jaeger. They're Kubernetes, Helm, Jaeger.
Probably 70% of my searches are FastGPT searches, meaning I end my search query with a ‘?’ and Kagi summarises the results, so I don’t need to click.

And the ratio between using search engine and Kagi’s LLM agent with search is still 70% search. Sometimes, searching is faster, sometimes asking AI is faster.
Before PIX there was TED which worked normal but you usually had to wait up to 3 hours to clear the transfer. Now because of the offload caused by PIX every single transfer you make through TED takes up to 10 minutes, usually 2, but noone cares. The look of happiness people have when they scan qr-code is the same of that kid that just got an ice cream. The reason why Pix was adopted so rapidly, and is so omnipresent, is because of ease of use. You scan the QR-code and that's it, transaction completed. Nobody mentioned that half of users is unable to figure out how to get started with pix, that is register keys, so they ask some techie parents, friends or go to the financial institution to get them started. Before most people that were inept to type in few necessary numbers to complete a transfer from one bank to the other, now switched to Pix and all they have to do is give the phone number or tax ID and are ready to receive money or scan qr-code to sent it out.

Because of that there is a total inclusion and also utter surveillance. So now in Brazil there are 2 problems, 60-80% of financial transactions are processed by the government and to add to the damage the entire economy is run on one point of failure which is WhatsApp. If at the same time, 2 of them would stopped, let's say for 3 weeks or maybe less, entire COUNTRY would do down the drain.

All the alternatives are fading away, lots of people don't even know how to change a ringtone on the phone but know how to do everything through WhatsApp. Try to ask, not even demand, in random business to provide you with alternatives for contact, you'd get that look saying GTFOOH. If pix would stopped, people would not go to atm to withdraw money, they'd wait until it'd come back online. When WhatsApp stops for few hours it feels like Sunday morning before the picnic.

Very fun post! If folks haven't seen it, Knuth's latest release looks at constraint satisfaction. Really fun discussion on the relations between different ways to model this sort of problem. Happy to add this book to my list!

I would also challenge the author to consider puzzles a bit more. Sprinkling fun into the topics goes a long way. Specifically, do both! Talk about how you can reframe a "real world" problem in terms of some puzzles we may have played as kids. Invite us to play more as adults.
OK, I'll keep playing.

There's no evidence I've seen that "everyone who trains hard for a marathon has some level of heart damage".

It won't happen in the short-term, because it takes time for manufacturers to move their entire base of operation to another country and disrupt the supply chain.

In the longer term (3+ years), it's possible. Companies are too greedy though. Once the incentives are gone, they will be back to slave labor in China and Vietnam and people in the US will still wonder where all the jobs went.
Yes, but it was the proposed monarchy that created this mess in the first place. Anyone proposing Trump as the solution for the problems Trump has created is a g-damned idiot - so I guess the real question is how many such idiots exist?

Visa and Mastercard are agents for the customer, who benefits greatly from instant and convenient transactions, fraud protection, currency conversion, and credit lines. The merchant pays them for access to these customers, and I have to say that the fees are small for what an amazing service these networks provide. I don't think neither their fees nor their profits are outrageous.

While Pix is a very impressive system, they offer no benefit to the customer over credit/debit cards. Only benefits to the merchants. For inter-personal transactions it is great, and for micro businesses. But as soon as your business grows beyond that, you will want to accept card payments.

If Visa and Mastercard sell transaction data, can you point me to where I can purchase this data? Everybody is saying this is the case, but forgive me for having doubts. Is this what you are talking about? https://usa.visa.com/solutions/visa-commercial-data-solution...

From what I understand, they are selling data in the aggregate, not individual transactions.

I've never heard of a judge telling someone they have to hand their book over to another party who then gets free reign to determine what they get to say / publish and what they don't. And all before the other person even gets to make an argument?

That's some strange stuff.
That's a fun little puzzle.

I realize it might be easier to write a puzzle than solve one. Writing them seems quite hard at first, but you have the solution and can choose words to break into clues, and from there do the same again until you have a properly complex puzzle.

Congratulations on getting it picked up by the Atlantic.
Funny, and really, my comment had no point :)

Considerations:

Will people seeing ex-DOGE employees on your staff (such as through LinkedIn) impact your company? For future recruiting? For business to business in your company's domain? For clients? I personally wouldn't work with people that operate in the manner DOGE has (push the limits and move as fast as possible so you can't get stopped, assume part of what you are doing is unacceptable/illegal and will be pulled back instead of making sure what you do is acceptable/legal) and I would be hesitant to trust a company that does unless I was looking to break things in an established space or something. Seperate from that the majority of devs I know wouldn't work with them for political reasons adding up to a whole lot of unfavorable to overlook if you have other candidates.

Do you recruit through current employees? Will tilting your recruitment pool to be more ex-DOGE centric impact your company culture and/or again recruiting other talent? I'm not calling them members of nationalist parties, but there's the whole 'let one into your bar and soon you have a bar full of them' analogy for a reason. Are you OK if you company is labeled an exDOGE shop or other political pejorative shop in the industry you are in?

There's enough other talent out their I'd just pass and less someone else juggle the factors.
In fact, for that 'warmup' problem, the leading term has a base and coefficient that are roots of cubic polynomials, given in the OEIS entry. But often the coefficient will be trancendental for these sorts of problems.
That's an interesting point. Gerrymandering only affects the House, not the Senate.

This is fantastic. I'm not surprised they focus on short last lines and on rag, since it's easy to imagine defining metrics for them to then minimize.

But they say:

> We are not yet making adjustments to prevent rivers, although we’d love to in the future.

And indeed, I couldn't even begin to guess how to define a metric for rivers, that can occur at different angles, with different variation, being interrupted by various degrees... I'm curious if there's a clever metric anybody has invented that actually works? Or does it basically require some level of neural-network pattern recognition that is way too expensive to calculate 1,000 variations of for each paragraph?
ok lets lay this out, somebody claims that some big complicated numbers that they had and claimed to be valuable, got removed by somebody else, useing a lot more smaller less complicated numbers
worth essentialy nothing, and now are seeking the help of someone else with presumably, slightly more, uncomplcated numbers to retrieve the big complicated numbers,from the whoever it is that has them now, in return for a smaller share
of said large and complicated numbers.
Which makes it so strange that some birds seem to have very sophisticated vocalizations. Why? How does it serve them, and why did they diverge so much?

Take ravens for example. There's one that hangs out in trees directly outside of my house now and then. It makes new sounds I haven't heard before quite often. I don't hear other ravens, so I'm not even sure it's trying to communicate. Does it have a social purpose? Is it bored? Do the variations express anything at all?

Yet being in a forest with them around, you hear all kinds of noises too, and they do it all together. They interact a lot. Though my experience is that they use fewer variations when they're together compared to the weird one outside of my house.

They seem very intelligent regardless. They're such cool birds.

Meanwhile most of the other birds around my house, as far as my ears can tell, just make the same sounds over and over. What does any of it mean?

Google Gemini is telling me:

"Saccharin is absorbed primarily in the stomach, with about 85% to 95% of ingested saccharin absorbed and eliminated in the urine."

If this is the case, then why hasn't the antibiotic effect been previously observed in vivo?

Is the concentration too low?
Look, it’s not “bizarre” to point out that Observable has deeply shaped the modern D3 ecosystem. The issue isn’t that the D3 API has changed, it’s that a huge number of learning resources, examples, and docs have been rebaked into Observable’s reactive notebook style, which, for people not using Observable, adds a ton of indirection and mental overhead.

You might not notice it if you already know D3 inside and out, but for newcomers, it’s a bit of a turnoff. It’s ok if you like it though!

And no, this isn’t about “blindly copying and pasting.” It’s about people wanting to use D3 without having to learn an entirely different execution environment. That’s a reasonable boundary to set, especially when time and focus are finite.

You can use as many italics as you want but I don’t think it’s a wildly bold claim and your counter example is simply silly.

Back in the early 1990s I recall working on a system that downloaded Usenet news feeds over satellite. I worked for a local sysop at the time, and due to high long distance costs in Canada it was tremendously more cost effective than transporting a similar amount of bandwidth over leased lines. The rural area I lived in was only fed with copper T1 lines until ~1999 when a local group finally convinced the incumbent to install fiber with the promise of over $1 million in business from the local municipalities, schools and hospitals. Residential and business ADSL was purely a side effect of that effort. We didn't get new DSLAMs with limited VDSL2 service until summer of 2014, and it still took them a couple of years to fix issues with the copper and qualify more than a handful of lines.
Thinking of individual ants is really the wrong analogy; ant colonies are more like the organism. Your hands work on instinct too (just look at newborn babies; they can do very little, but they can grab things).

These days, about the only liquid you can consume without controversy is water.

Some say coffee is good for you (in moderation), some say it's bad for you.

Some say certain alcoholic drinks are good for you (in moderation), some say no amount of alcohol is good.

Some say some artificial sweeteners have benefits, some say all of them are toxic.

Some think fruit juices are good for you, because fruit. Some (most) say they're bad for you.

Some say fruit smoothies are good for you, because the fiber content outweighs the downside of fructose/natural sugars. But some say all fruit sugar is bad for you.

The only thing that we seem to agree on, is that any sort of beverage containing sucrose is bad for you. But maybe I missed some thread where sucrose in moderation actually has health benefits.

I guess I'll stick to drinking water. But I'm sure there's a reason why that's bad for me.

This is my favorite thing about Kagi; you can do both. If you just append a question mark, it'll run the search through a simple LLM and give you those results (with citations) right before standard search. From there, you can proceed into a more sophisticated frontier model if that's more effective.

"Search" can mean a lot of things. Sometimes I just want a website but can't remember the URL (traditional); other times I want an answer (LLMs); and other times, I want a bunch of resources to learn more (search+LLMs).
