And the enshitification continues...

They define it the explainer this was originally based on: (https://github.com/WICG/private-network-access/blob/main/exp...)

Quote: We extend the RFC 1918 concept of private IP addresses to build a model of network privacy.

Concretely, there are 3 kinds of private network requests:

    public -> private
    public -> local
    private -> local

True, but water, especially fresh water, is used in so many applications. I don't have hard numbers on this because I'm not THAT big of a nerd, but intuitively, I would think that if we can find alternatives to water, that would free up some fresh water resources, for I don't know, growing food? This is actually a major issue in my area - A data center is being built right now, and competing with municipalities for fresh water. Maybe they don't have to?

That's a helluva based take right there. Organic traffic is NOT a right? What are your personal opinions on the first amendment?

I really like the examples for sorting algorithms! This would have been amazing to have back when I first took Data Structures & Algorithms in college.

This is a really cool tool.

Link?

I would like to see more data centers make use of large-scale Oil Immersion-Cooling. I feel like the fresh water use for cooling is a huge issue.

Ah I got more info. Interesting concept: https://moldabledevelopment.com/

Shame is demotivating for me. I would rather frame it as behaving out the best-interest and collective excellence within our trade. Imagine if plumbers or electricians were this cavalier? Houses would burn down. People in hospitals would die because the back-up power generators gas lines would fail. The security of curl is pretty high stakes. If the obnoxious behavior is simply just for kicks, we're putting a LOT on the line.

If you're a developer, you do yourself a disservice by describing it this way.

"Code generated by LLM is not that different than pulling in a random npm package or rust crate"

So I really hope you don't pull in packages randomly. That sounds like a security risk.

Also, good packages tend have a team of people maintaining it. How is that the same exactly?

Totally agree! Reading code is harder than writing it, and I think I spend more time reading and trying to understand than I do writing.

But this CEO I just met on LinkedIn?

"we already have the possibility to both improve our productivity and increase our joy. To do that we have to look at what software engineering is. That might be harder than it looks because the opportunity was hidden in plain sight for decades. It starts with rethinking how we make decisions and with eliminating the need for reading code by creating and employing contextual tools."

Context is how AI is a whole new layer of complexity that SWE teams have to maintain.

I'm so confused.

Reputation systems for this kind of thing sounds like rubbing some anti-itch cream on bullet wound. I feel like the problem seems to me to be behavior, not a technology issue.

Personally I can't imagine how miserable it would be for my hard-earned expertise to be relegated to sifting through SLOP where maybe 1 in hundreds or even thousands of inquiries is worth any time at all. But it also doesn't seem prudent to just ignore them.

I don't think better ML/AI technology or better information systems will make a significant difference on this issue. It's fundamentally about trust in people.

The screenshot on the homepage should be a demo instance of the web app that uses session storage.

That's... quite the interpretation. Do you really think that Stripe's intention is to "encourage people with low skills to apply" by writing a blog post about monitoring DNS?

Do you know what Drupal is used for? Can you seriously imagine migrating that stuff to native apps?

I really don't understand why people are so upset about the T-shirts. Like in the grand scheme of things, who cares? If I invested money (I didn't) in Kagi, I would expect some of that money to be spent on marketing. Marketers often do experiments, some of which go well, and others that don't. Only time tells.

This take feels more like being upset about one individual's (Vlad) personal opinions about privacy and politics. But in my opinion, it fails to realize that assigning one person's views to an entire organization is a fallacy. Even if they are the leader.

As a service, I like Kagi. Both in principle, and in practice. I find the "summarize this page" feature to be very useful. I also like the idea of paying for value, rather than being forced to feed the advertising beast. So I pay for value. If it stops being valuable, I will stop paying. I care about privacy, but I also realize that we live in a world where there are serious limits on the amount of privacy that can be expected. So I have to just do the best I can with what is available. Kagi is at least an improvement on the standard "eyeballs are the product" business model.
