As well as all the people that DON'T use AI agents to talk to companies or the gov. Because if the new normal is 'mail bomb them until you get what you want', your single, soft email will just get buried.

It's a great app, been using it on Android for years. It has a really low barrier of entry (except maybe OSM account creation) and makes improving OpenStreetMap really easy even for people that have no experience with map editing. There's simple questions, e.g. about road surface or accessibility, with illustrated multiple-choice answers.

But it does actually decrease usability? Useless badges with non-sensical labels or colors without meaning are just confusing. Or the other example from the website: Aligning content is not just to please a designer's eye, it helps users understand which parts of the UI belong together.

So you did not do what the post you replied to suggested?

You have to fight, for some bots it might not be a real fight anymore...

That single, annecdotal evidence gets posted everytime a topic like that comes up. I would really love to get more reliable stats about this.

Even the "0.1% of sales" figure is quite atypical.

Just to clarify: I believe it should cache them (it works for me).

So far I like it much more than Gemini CLI (my previous daily driver for personal projects). Seems more mature and "feels more intelligent" (very subjective ofc)

Kagi has been mentioned already, just to provide anecdotal reference: searching for "pokemon wiki" with the country set to Italy shows OP's website as first result.

Right now, using Google searching for "what is Xanatewthiuy" , the AI summary is not generated, but the only search result previews as

I think the deal is pretty clear with stuff like this: Free accounts for individual users, earning money with businesses.

It's not like Bitwarden is giving away their product without getting anything in return: The free users (tech-savy early adopters) were the ones that pitched Bitwarden to their bosses when they were looking for a password solution for their company. It's really no different than Adobe or other companies giving away student licences. Companies are not stupid.

I too love the SVG Path Editor, used it many times to create SVGs that had "nice code". Nobody really appreciates it, but it just felt good.

Inkscape on the other hand almost inevitably creates really messy SVGs with a lot of transforms (why??) that make it almost impossible to see actual coordinates.

But as I said, nobody cares about how clean and nice your SVG paths are and I don't either most of the time, so I'm still a regular user of Inkscape. Thanks to the team :)

I don't really see how the vacuum can effectively clean a whole room or flat using only a CNN of the current image in front of the robot. This would help detect obstacles, but a bumper sensor would do that as well.

All but the most basic vacuum robots map their work area and devise plans how to clean them systematically. The others just bump into obstacles, rotate a random amount and continue forward.

Don't get me wrong, I love this project and the idea to build it yourself. I just feel like that (huge) part is missing in the article?

Quite a lot of sample sound strange. Some even have echo or other weird artifacts. I hope it's not AI generated.

I agree. freeCAD has become a tool that I just use without thinking about it. Earlier versions always made me question my choice and try out other software.
