Only seeing the `old.reddit.com` domain is also much more pleasant.

The search results page no longer feels adversarial.

An ISP (like one that starts with the first letter of the alphabet and ends with a common abbreviation for an explosive compound) might not think it’s worth coming out and marking their fiber lines when you call the city’s 811 number to mark utilities before digging for a project, like a fence.

If that fence ends up cutting the fiber line when digging a post, the company installing the fence can submit a ticket through a different portal than you as an actual residential customer of the ISP can, and that ticket probably gets responded to well before your attempts to contact them and request a call back because they are always experiencing a high volume of calls.

They’ll never admit any negligence on their part for refusing to mark utility lines, and you just have to remember where they buried the new ones, if they ever came back out to bury them instead of just leaving them aboive ground and flailing around.

Sometimes they even try to charge you for fixing the fiber line.

The bears broke my brain enough the first time I encountered that “stain” where my memory clearly had it labeled “stein.”

This kind of dismissive rhetoric increases the stigma around seeking a diagnosis as an adult, which is already hard enough because an entire system of caregivers, teachers, and institutions already failed the undiagnosed person throughout their life and navigating the health care system, especially for mental health, is extremely frustrating - and challenging from an executive function perspective.

Switched to Kagi awhile back and 10/10 would recommend. The cost is easily worth having a good, useful web search experience again.

Swapping out mail and other service providers is definitely a bigger undertaking, though.

Now we can work on our passion projects and everything will just be LLMs talking to LLMs.

Here’s an example with Gemini Flash 2.5 Preview: https://kagi.com/assistant/9f638099-73cb-4d58-872e-d7760b3ce...

It will be interesting to see if/when this information gets picked up by models.

I’m sure they are trying to slash tokens where they can, and removing potentially irrelevant tool descriptors seems like low-hanging fruit to reduce token consumption.

It takes up almost half the screen and makes the content nearly impossible to digest.

OpenAI’s naming conventions have gotten out of hand.

I believe the “o” is supposed to mean “Omni” and indicate that the model is multi-modal.

The parameter count is more more useful and concrete information than anything OpenAI or their competitors have put into the name of their models.

The parameter count gives you a heuristic for estimating if you can run this model on your own hardware, and how capable you might expect it to be compared to the broader spectrum of smaller models.

It also allows you to easily distinguish between different sizes of model trained in the same way, but with more parameters. It’s likely there is a higher parameter count model in the works and this makes it easy to distinguish between the two.

It was bleak out there. Hundreds of applications for a handful of interviews. Maybe a few rejection emails. Mostly silence.

The actual data may not back me up here, but it feels like the worst job market since I started my career ~15 years ago.

Even among a technical crowd, most folks don't want to install some random library or another Electron-based app to test your pet project.

Went to Life and Trust in January and really enjoyed it. We were hoping to go back later this year. I only made it to Sleep No More once before it ended, and wish that I had gone a couple more times.

The Life and Trust space was wild and felt truly massive, and even the ambience and scale of the waiting area was fantastic and really felt like it transported you to a different place and time.

Was hoping to see it again and explore some of the storylines that I missed.

I compared the experience with someone and, other than a few key scenes where lots of characters intersect, we saw entirely different shows.

Admittedly, there were parts where too many people moving too slowly in tight spaces made parts of the journey frustrating and by the end I was a little worn out from climbing up and down so many flights of stairs over and over again, but those are the tradeoffs you accept going into it.

Seems like a hard business to keep alive and replicate success from one show to the next.

It wasn’t a day one feature, so there’s some chance that a thing like this could roll out.

The article probably focuses on the overage because that’s what most users are going to be concerned about.

Few other companies seem to try to do things in the interests of their users and balance that against making enough money to keep existing.

This feels a bit like manufactured outrage.

Preventing zooming is a serious accessibility issue and it makes the content worse for every user.

If you’re properly setting responsive widths, a large enough base font size, large enough input text size, and using border-box for box-sizing, things should just work except for cases where you’re absolutely positioning things or telling them not to word wrap and they are wider than the viewport.
