Not in production yet, so will have more to share in time.

It's funny you say that as we just switched the Wikipedia widget over to our own internal index. We don't intend to stop there either.

That's what SlopStop is for :) developing methodologies that scale for detecting slop.

I mean it sounds like that already has a lot of overlap with our Small Web indexing efforts, so that part of our indexing efforts could be an extension of that. A lot if this is still in development though so I can't speak on specifics just yet.

> didn't realize Kagi had no aspirations to build their own general purpose index

Kagi employee here. We're actively working on building our own indexes beyond the limited ones we have now, not just a general index but also purpose built indexes for things like programming, etc.

If you click on one though and go to swipe (unless it's in your subscriptions) it doesn't allow you to "scroll". You can watch them when necessary but it's impossible to get sucked into an infinite feed.

You can disable watch history on your account, which completely disables it. No need to install any extension (which may not work on all your devices)

If you turn off watch history it completely disables shorts as a whole (with no recommendations on the homepage as a side effect, but one I'm willing to live with). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42795204

There've been some really good not-sequel-remake-franchise movies recently though, recently watching Companions and Mickey 17 in theatres myself.

Yes unfortunately, I've grown to be used to it over time though. Sometimes will press my fingers into random objects to make sure I keep them up.

Playing electric guitar also helps immensely due to the thinner strings and lower action.

I finally broke wasting hours on YouTube shorts (and youtube in general) by turning off the watch history on my account [1]. It completely removes all videos from the "homepage" (including shorts from the sidebar). There are still shorts in the subscriptions page, but I think this is an acceptable tradeoff. YouTube for me now has just become who I'm subscribed to, which is a much more pleasant experience - there's an "end" where I'm finally caught up and can move on to doing something else. This is also for my entire account, so it's not something I can just disable from my browser bar or that won't work on mobile. I don't need to remember to set it up on a new device either.

> What about a language where for any given bit of code, the dynamicness is only a phase of compilation?

This is (essentially) Crystal lang's type system. You end up with semantic analysis/compilation taking a significant amount of time, longer than other comparable languages, and using a lot of resources to do so.
