Switched to Kagi a few years ago and don't even consider other options anymore. It's miles ahead of others.

> I'm a pretty good documenter so it helps.

I wasn't but now, doing a lot of work inside a harness that is logging everything and can easily create docs from that, I'm finally persisting a lot of knowledge.

Considering how volatile things can get depending on who's president, I'd say even American companies need to "compete against America" if they don't want to get their rug pulled from under them (which, apparently, the legal system allows to easily happen in the US).

I feel like I'm missing something. Zed won?

If you traded like the president, you'd beat the S&P

That is, if they can even get a work visa through the proper channels while following all requirements.

I had read Kafka's The Castle before dealing with the German immigration office but that experience gave me a new perspective.

I've tried Fable on a few complex tasks and couldn't tell the difference over Opus 4.8, tbh.

New comment by gtirloni in "Ask HN: Why is AI use decried if it has been used without attribution?"

gtirloni — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 13:41:59 +0000

I hope these people are properly attributing their work to the IDE/editor they used as well. /s

I do spend an enormous amount of time working on projects with AI assistance. When people imply that my output is any less "worthy" because of that, it gives me pause.

The reality is that there are people using AI in areas they would have no chance of producing much quickly. I understand the sentiment against that kind of situation but one shouldn't assume that's every situation.

> This is not a limitation that can be overcome by LLMs. Their generative value is in their unreliability. If you turn temperature down to zero, you get a deterministic machine - but you also break every meaningful application I know of in production.

This is not a reasonable argument. Setting the temperature down to zero does NOT give you a deterministic machine. And I have never seen that break any application in production, quite the contrary.

People are still figuring things out, there's a lot of wasted tokens, etc.

This is like complaining a student isn't as productive as a senior engineering.

I think we as an industry haven't even graduated to junior level when it comes to figuring our how to use AI to improve things.

New comment by gtirloni in "The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription"

gtirloni — Sun, 31 May 2026 15:22:17 +0000

As someone constantly nerd-sniped, the difficulty is that our instincts are still being formed about what this current era of AI tools can and cannot do.

So when a blocker or an idea pops up, it's very easy to use that magic-like tool to solve it quickly and then go back to whatever it's you were doing before.

However, if you care about the quality of your output, that won't be a quick detour. It will pile up with the other "quick" tasks you were doing simultaneously and that's how you end up with 5-10 sessions working on totally unrelated projects.

This website looks so terrible that I can't tell if it's really owned by Google or a scam.
