My theory is that the industry grew too much and too fast and this lead to even more feature creep, which turns into buggy software over time.

Don't give them any ideas. Dynamic viewing might be next.

Nah, Luna uses was more tokens and fills the context up way to fast. Terra is in the sweet spot where if feels like Opus 4.6. Competent but not too smart. It also lets you have longer sessions (back and forth) without filling the context too fast.

I use Kagi Assistant. It doesn't just give a summary, it is more like a personal "Googler"/web surfer. I feel like I'm involved in the process.

My coworkers use Google and often quote back the AI summary me instead of checking the source and referring to that. It's scary seeing even those with higher education behave like this.

Most agents can search the web nowadays

None of these work on mac. I tried in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

I used to main Claude, but I can't stand how it writes. I feel like I'm wasting too much time trying to decipher the output. Adding writing rules does not seem to work. Now I use GPT 5.6 Terra high fast mode, with Luna for everything else. I might consider using Sol for planning. I can't stand using Sol or smarter models for coding, because they will eventually try to rewrite everything in the codebase.

I also don't want to use the Claude Code and Codex agent harnesses. The good thing with Codex subscription is that it can be used in other harnesses, unlike Claude. As far as I know, only Anthropic has this restriction.

I only care about it because I'm waiting for a MacBook Neo with more than 8gb of memory.

Markdown isn't as expressive. Not all HTML content can be converted to Markdown without losing some of the semantics

The bot blocking services are more advanced than that. They will do stuff like checking how your fonts are rendered in a canvas element to determine your browser and OS. A stock mac circumvent all that by hiding in plain sight.

What is the go to alternative from DuckDB?

A $5 VPS is easy to block. It's way harder to block a stock mac mini from a residential IP address

There is a reason Caveman (https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman) is as popular as it is

According to Jevons paradox this will likely lead to more electricity used and more CO2 being released to the atmosphere, because it makes it more profitable to build another data center.

I've subscribed to Kagi for three of years now. Kagi is still great, but it doesn't feel like "Google ten years ago" anymore. I don't think it is because Kagi got worse, rather it is the web that has become worse. The content nowadays kinda sucks.

It's only been 2.5 years since they said that. I'm sure they will walk back on their word before it has been 7 years.

I think we need to change our perspective of what success is. I believe there will be a ton of small companies popping up instead of a few big ones that eats everyone's lunch. Like Google, Microsoft and others giants have done until now.

What is there to be studied? Once a company is acquired you bounce. There is usually a two year grace period before you start feeling the pain as a customer, which should give you the time to migrate.

Bunny has their own infra while Turso relies on a cloud provider (AWS) which is unfortunately a no-go for many European companies

Who would have thought forcing one developer to write a million lines of code each month would have negative consequences

This is nothing new: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsch

Yes, TurboPack is for legacy projects that can't update from Webpack, but still want some bundle speed improvements.

The main divide now is client side React versus Server Components usually with a node.js backend

So the future is NixOS for non-technical people?

It says 75% of the engineer team. There might be other roles not affected.

Maybe for developers, but I can't imagine most people going back to the terminal. The smartphones won and has the largest market. It would be especially awkward to use a terminal on a touch display. Maybe with voice this will be easier, but I doubt people want to go around in public talking and giving instructions to their phone. UIs are here to stay.

I got it last year, as a man in my early 30s. My doctor didn't believe me but his eyes widened as I showed him the rash. It took him one second to say that is shingles, with no doubt. If you get it you have to get to the doctor ASAP to get the antiviral medicine before it spreads. It is the most painful thing I have gone through.

I'm pretty sure I got is because of stress. I quit my job, sold my home and all my stuff to travel for a year. I was awarded shingles the week after handing in my resignation.

I wonder if this is the new normal? Weekly Cloudflare outages that breaks huge parts of the internet.

It’s a catch-22: why build a RISC-V CPU if there’s no software for it, and why write software if there’s no CPU to run it?

The way Microsoft are ruining Windows makes it seem like enterprise users are the tech debt they want to get rid off. Like making their servers non-deterministic by serving random ads or leaking secret content to their AI. It makes sense that they would rather have their customers run Linux on Azure, so they don't have to do R&D for their own OS.
