Applying an ostrich policy to Chinese models won't make their underlying geopolitics disappear. Much of China's innovation is state-funded specifically to compete with Western counterparts and erode their margins. By open-sourcing these models, China applies pressure on the US ecosystem. You enjoying free/cheap access to high quality models is the intended effect of that strategy.

Can confirm. Traveling via public transport in Switzerland is remarkably uneventful. It's a stark contrast to my Eastern European home country, where it is a gamble due to a certain demographic's anti-social behavior.

Enterprises would do anything to develop on Linux except using an actual Linux distro.

I'm happy to report that this game is very fun for natural intelligence entities too. :)

I see Claude's frontend skill is the new bootstrap.

My annual Kagi subscription lapsed last week, so I decided to see how DuckDuckGo is doing these days.

The feature I missed most from Kagi was domain filtering, so I had Claude write a quick userscript for DDG that lets me boost, pin, and block specific domains. uBlock Origin aside, DDG even lets you turn off ads natively.

Kagi is good, but the redirection felt a bit flaky lately, and I was dealing with an annoying bug where my localization kept defaulting to Groningen for no apparent reason.

I’ll stick with this DIY setup for a bit, though I might well end up back on Kagi once I realize how good I had it.

Last time I looked into it, I realized how severely it's limited by memory bandwidth. Only the M5 Ultra compares to a dedicated graphics card, but it still falls short.

This is my exact plan too, if I ever have to leave the Apple ecosystem.

At my company, devs were the ones pushing for the Claude subscription. Left to management, we would have only had GitHub Copilot – we already have an existing relationship with them and the tool is good enough.

If Anthropic is intent on losing the goodwill of the devs, they might not be happy with the consequences. Their product is quite commoditized at this point – the latest GPT, Gemini or GLM is just as good for most enterprise tasks.

They tick all the boxes I care about – desktop & mobile app, cli – but for the same price I might as well just go for the leading providers.

Git wins by not needing to be replaced badly enough. Latley you can just ask an agent to "amend the last commit" so even that is being abstracted away.

I do hope the rare earth metal in my calculator is also ethically sourced.

In high school I kept a USB drive full of portable apps. This was one of them. I can still recommend it.

They can train on the outputs i.e. distillation attacks.

I’m also fine with the change. Claude is my go-to for research as the standalone app and shortcut are very convenient.

The Kagi team should focus on the core product; that’s what I’m paying for. I stopped being a ProtonMail customer once they began chasing side projects instead of polishing their actual offering. I hope Kagi doesn't go down that same route.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I have my own hobby RSS server built around the Google Reader API. Two of my plugins are pretty similar to what you described: one checks a page’s current state against the last saved version and publishes an entry if anything changed, the other is basically a CSS selector-based feed builder. Always good to see RSS content here, thanks for posting!

On your questions: some people prefer RSS, others email, and services exist to convert between the two in both directions. My own rule of thumb is email for things that need actual attention and RSS for everything that can wait. If you’re thinking about turning this into a service, supporting both would make sense since people are pretty split on this.
