Alas. They have said they plan to open some of the source and potentially everything, but it’s little progress.
They recently ported to Linux, which I think will give them much more negative feedback here, so hopefully with more pressure they’ll find the correct copy left license and open up their source to build trust.
There are two modes of AI integrations. The first is a standard LLM in a side panel. It’s search and learning directly in the terminal, with the commands I need directly available to run where I need them. What you get is the same as if you used ChatGPT to answer your questions, then copied the part of the answer you needed to your terminal and run it.
There is also AI Command Suggestion, where you’ll start to type a command / search prefixed by # and get commands directly back to run. It’s quite different from auto-complete (there is very good auto-complete and command suggestion as well, I’m just talking about the AI specific features here).
It’s just a convenient placement of AI at your fingertips when working in the terminal.
Warp.dev! It’s the best terminal I’ve used so far, and the best use of AI as well! It’s extremely useful with some AI help for the thousands of small commands you know exist but rarely uses. And it’s very well implemented.
Cool, now do it over Ping!
Just try it? You’ll get a free trial, use a fake email, no payment details or use info needed as far as I can remember.
I believe also https://kagi.com/fastgpt is free to use.
It’s really cool, but the example doesn’t produce any sensible output? If you have created something like this, why wouldn’t you have your demo output something sensible like Fibonacci or 1337 or whatever.
You have also implemented a ban on any contribution from a VPN without announcing it. It has been very annoying to figure out.
Please do announce these kind of changes and limitations you implement publicly unless you absolutely cannot.
That’s awesome! How do you use Topaz in this flow?
Whoosh?
You can pay with bitcoin, which might help keeping the account entirely anonymous for some.
Yeah, you may be fine with the $5 plan, but that’s the lowest tier available.
Afaik they are not really running a profit yet, just expanding, so that’s an eye opener to how expensive it is to run a search business and how much value Google and others estimate they get from your personal information.
For now though their user base seems fairly much leaning towards business users that can defend this expense as part of becoming more effective professionally. Hopefully over time they’ll grow large enough to provide cheaper plans for regular persons while staying privacy focused and ad free.
Yeah there are some good solutions to achieve this, I’m a big fan of the libredirect project, but currently I’m just setting up the redirects I want directly in Kagi so any URLs in the search results are already rewritten to my liking.
It’s not, really, I switched from Google some years ago and had accepted my faith with DuckDuckGo, but then tried out Kagi. I use search so much daily for work, the relief of getting quality results again is immense and probably saves me hours per week. I get much better results from Kagi than I got at the end from Google, and I can tune them to my liking:
…and so on and so on. It’s just so effective.
I don’t think X ever was part of his valuation. I
I usually close it afterwards, unless I did a stinky - then I’ll leave it open to throw off suspicion.
It’s true that you tend to be more tech literate if you choose Linux. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t be tech literate if you choose Windows or MacOS, which many Linux “advocates” seem to firmly believe. The same goes for “power users” arguments etc.
lol what does “power users” have to do with it? Do you seriously believe power users only run Linux?
It was a charming apartment for sure.
In one old apartment rented, the shower was next to the kitchen sink (toilet was out the window, over the roof, in a door). It was always tempting to just do the dishes at the same time.
All my devices and networks are constantly on VPN, it’s just basic obscurity, and it’s such a hassle posting on Lemmy now - my activity is probably down 90%.
Could you please consider allowing basic text posts and / or comments from behind a VPN? You could even disallow all markdown - that’s a decent trade off for my sake.
But please don’t just block all VPN usage if there are options you have not explored yet.
