> It's finally here! We believe that Kagi's application of AI should always be useful - there when you'd like it, and never when you don't, and always respecting your privacy.

It's nice to have choice here when, e.g. Google, has been trending in the opposite direction.

For example, https://mydetector.ai/ai-code-detector/ says 90% likely AI. Not that I trust the tools, but there are telltales to me in this function from the site:

     Object.values(zipBuckets).forEach(function(b) {
       var latest = b.reports.map(function(r){return r.date;}).sort().reverse()[0];
       // ...
       var popup =
         '<div style="font-family: Inter, sans-serif; min-width:220px; max-width:280px;">' +
         (noteLines ? '<ul style="font-size:12px; color:#3a4a2a; padding-left:16px; margin:0;">' + noteLines + '</ul>' : '') +
       // ...
     }
Certain ergonomics are hard to miss since a human who writes heavy FP would opt for a `(r) => r.date` lambda, where the computer has no problem writing out inline `function(r)`-style declarations. Similarly, the HTML mapping function could go either way, but mixing in large sets of text with hard constants would be really uncommon for humans to write.

JavaScript is always a mess, but it's a _different_ mess between humans and AI, and this function `loadCommunityReports` really reads AI-first to me.

Instead of focusing on why having a website is better for customers (100% it is), the article is really an attack on... developers at Meta and tech other companies? I love a good profanity laced rant, but the entire article reads unfocused and unpersuasive.

Honestly, skip planning mode and tell it you simply want to discuss and to write up a doc with your discussions. Planning mode has a whole system encouraging it to finish the plan and start coding. It's easier to just make it clear you're in a discussion and write a doc phase and it works way better.

I’ve really enjoyed Shapr3D (built on Parasolid). Nothing particularly better than the usual competitors but the interface is really intuitive and you can realistically develop on an iPad. Curious if anyone else has had experiences with it.

To be fair, that's not exactly what Loper Bright says. It holds that the courts should read the statute independently and not assume that Agency rules or procedures are prima facie controlling where the statute is ambiguous.

I am always worried when I bring development boards on airplanes. I assume most people are reasonable, but I worry for a few that might not be.

I feel like some of the newer standards like CSS Grid instead of tables might be the best way to go. Many HTML/CSS improvements were not just bloat but actually better standards to build on.

Yeah, I loved Elm, but the restriction that you can't build your own "effect" modules really made it impossible to embrace. Say you want to use a new web API similar to using Elm's core `Http`, well... you can try and fork Elm...

Though, sadly it's not a true image; it's composed as an SVG in HTML. So you can't copy-paste the image into chats.

Couldn't the "test" add some variety of math challenge, thus making a simple proxy insufficient. Obviously, this method would add more noise to the final calculation, but if the proxy would need to forward its data to the end-user machine to perform the math, then a simple proxy in this case wouldn't be sufficient.

Curious if anyone has tips on lead-free soldering. I basically always see in online forums "just use lead," but never any tips on how to actually become capable on using lead-free solder. Esp. as my son is around a lot, it seems prudent to stay lead-free, even if you can generally handle lead safely. Thanks.

Thanks. Can someone explain what these are typically used for or link to commercially available variants?
