It is annoying (and ironic) because larger companies, that will benefit from this information the most, blocks newly registered domains.

trump signed an executive order to sanction the International criminal court targeting the chief prosecutor. Microsoft went ahead and blocked him.

I also was pleasantly surprised of the availability when I visited. But I would recommend bringing your own soap. A lot of the restrooms in the more rural areas, and even some places in the cities, don't have any soap. Hand Sanitizer won't kill norovirus, which usually spreads in restrooms.

Give them some slack. Their core product is AI, not version control

My theory is that the industry grew too much and too fast and this lead to even more feature creep, which turns into buggy software over time.

Don't give them any ideas. Dynamic viewing might be next.

Nah, Luna uses was more tokens and fills the context up way to fast. Terra is in the sweet spot where if feels like Opus 4.6. Competent but not too smart. It also lets you have longer sessions (back and forth) without filling the context too fast.

I use Kagi Assistant. It doesn't just give a summary, it is more like a personal "Googler"/web surfer. I feel like I'm involved in the process.

My coworkers use Google and often quote back the AI summary me instead of checking the source and referring to that. It's scary seeing even those with higher education behave like this.

I used to main Claude, but I can't stand how it writes. I feel like I'm wasting too much time trying to decipher the output. Adding writing rules does not seem to work. Now I use GPT 5.6 Terra high fast mode, with Luna for everything else. I might consider using Sol for planning. I can't stand using Sol or smarter models for coding, because they will eventually try to rewrite everything in the codebase.

I also don't want to use the Claude Code and Codex agent harnesses. The good thing with Codex subscription is that it can be used in other harnesses, unlike Claude. As far as I know, only Anthropic has this restriction.

I only care about it because I'm waiting for a MacBook Neo with more than 8gb of memory.

The bot blocking services are more advanced than that. They will do stuff like checking how your fonts are rendered in a canvas element to determine your browser and OS. A stock mac circumvent all that by hiding in plain sight.

A $5 VPS is easy to block. It's way harder to block a stock mac mini from a residential IP address

According to Jevons paradox this will likely lead to more electricity used and more CO2 being released to the atmosphere, because it makes it more profitable to build another data center.

I've subscribed to Kagi for three of years now. Kagi is still great, but it doesn't feel like "Google ten years ago" anymore. I don't think it is because Kagi got worse, rather it is the web that has become worse. The content nowadays kinda sucks.

It's only been 2.5 years since they said that. I'm sure they will walk back on their word before it has been 7 years.
