In 2017 (so really before the IPO), the Paris office was already at at least 50 people, most of them in engineering.

Hundreds of ads partners. The GDPR banner is so annoying I won’t even go further.

RAG -> Vector search -> means that your documents are not indexed as full text but as Vectorized objects which mean that then you can search using concepts instead of exacts strings you would use with a regular "Fulltext search".

This makes the search less precise and more powerful at the same time (ie it could look clever to some extent).

I started looking and the conversion is relatively straightforward (for a LLM), I'll try to write code with this and get back to you, if this gives something?

I've been a user of Day One for some time, but your proposition is very interesting nonetheless. I love the fact that the data is a file. I'm going to see if it's possible to migrate one way or another...

I never thought this was intentional too. I had tried to let the model show me its tool and it had refused. The article on the House MD role play was a nice way for me to try this out on Kagi. Peace out

Using the House MD. prompt extraction roleplay from https://hiddenlayer.com/innovation-hub/novel-universal-bypas..., it was possible to extract the Assistant prompt, not really interesting, but also the ResearchAgent's prompt and tools provided to the Assistants inside Kagi.

I'm discovering that Claude is included in Kagi Ultimate and this is also slightly blowing my mind... Probably going to do the switch.

The fact that it's expensive is true but for me largely compensated by the niceties of the service. I don't really like the fact that they use Yandex either but the other search engines are not really satisfying for me anymore.

I've used Kagi Pro for several months now and it's working great for my personal and professional needs. The only thing I'm missing is the shopping features but I can with that and switch back to Google when I'm looking to spend my money on physical goods...

It's actually free in France.

Yeah, we saw the conundrum and went through the inspection and all, and our bike's fit for biking! At that price... well, we earlier hoped it would be recalled and we would buy a competitor's version. But now everything is green, we're back on the road...

(lovely thread!)

Under $100

- Ember Mug, same as many folks here: 4 years of service, 2 use of their customer service, bought another one for my wife. 100% will reshop when my current mug stop working or is not replaced anymore by their amazing support.

- A memory foam pillow: Had to iterate to find the right one, but once you've it, you know it. You sleep better, less pain in the back/neck/shoulder

- A vasectomy: just taking charge of the contraception in my couple. Simple, painless and effective.

Under $1000

- A gym coach coming once a week to kick my ass and make me sweat. My best investment in nearly 10 years. I've never been so fit and in shape in my life. He's there every week, even when you really don't want to do anything and afterwards, you'll always feel better

- Airpods Pro, I use them between 2 and 6 hours a day and they've become my second pair of ears. I use them often in transparency mode to avoid screaming during meetings and when it's quiet around, it's perfect.

- A standing desk and its screen arm. I use it every day, and sometimes in upper position (yay!)

Over $1000

- A Babboe Curve e-bike to carry my kids to school. 2000km later, it's still an amazing device to move almost all the family without any of the car's downside (yes, I live somewhere in France)
