Quite the illustrious kareer (sorry I had to).


You had me at “BIOS web browser”


I thought Phoenix may have just made that up because they were miffed about someone in tech using their name, but no, they actually did have a "BIOS web browser"!

I'm assuming some kind of instant-on OS feature

which if you're interested—Cathode Ray Dude on youtube has several episode series all about that weird and wonderful point of computer history

This is just what I wanted, with one exception — there’s no obvious way to export all the data in a machine-readable way. I’m not going to journal in something I don’t know I can move on with if the app dies or I move to a platform that doesn’t support it.


Thank you for your feedback. You can export all data in JSON format from the macOS app by going to the menu bar and selecting File > Export. I plan to extend the export options in the future to support other formats like markdown.


This feels a lot like generation 3 AI throwing out all the insights from gens 1 and 2 and then rediscovering them from first principles, but it’s difficult to tell what this text is really about because it lumps together a lot of things into “search” without fully describing what that means more formally.


Indeed. It's obvious what search means for a chess program -- its the future positions it looks at. But it's less obvious to me what it means for an LLM.


I really appreciate a “here’s how I did this” that also includes hints on how to avoid bikeshedding and essentially getting scared out of doing the thing.

In my experience being daunted ans not knowing where to start is a large part of the difficulty in doing difficult things.


I guess this was the Trojan horse of brexit. Market it as “let’s get away from EU regulation so we can do good regulation (and racism)”, and actually mean “let get away from EU so we can do bad regulation (and racism)”.

I’m often very critical of EU regulation so I sympathise with the first bit (less so the appalling “no refugees” racism shit). For example, Sweden used to have a public housing system where subsidised public housing wasn’t just for poor people. Then the private landlords took the state to EU court crying about unfair competition etc etc and won, and now public housing has to be run like a company which contributes to higher rents. The same process was repeated for most public services. Some of that was the trend at the time and would probably have happened anyway, but it sucks that it’s enforced from Brussels.

EU does mandate a particular model of economy of its member states, one which relies heavily on market solutions to most problems. Using annoyance with the ongoing crumbles of every public service as an excuse to do more of the same is a stroke of evil genius.


And actually, that's exactly what most of us remainers pointed out was going to happen, because tories can't resist reducing standards of living, working protections, or consumer rights.


I think you can read that thread in multiple ways depending on your previous experience.

As a woman who’s had bad experiences with men before, this kind of “no you owe me your time” behaviour usually triggers a “get away from this guy; fast” kind of response.

This doesn’t mean Kagi is necessarily bad or that this was what Vlad intended, but it does for sure reduce my faith in the project. Not enough to stop paying for Kagi, but I’ve definitely gone to the “raise shields, power phasers” stage.


That's fair I guess. That's not meant flippantly, but I don't have that experience so I can only guess. However isn't it best to assume good faith in a non threatening situation?

If this is a regular "trigger point" in real life, I can understand that as a knee jerk, but there's no danger or need for immediate reaction via email, so why judge through that lens once you've identified you're doing so?


At least it’s not connected to the internet.


Oh no no no no shit no
