• Mojeek

  If you're looking for alternative search, I have to mention Kagi (https://kagi.com/). Not free, but totally worth it to filter out results like geeksforgeeks, tutorialspoint, w3schools etc. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Tell HN: I hate contemporary "predictive tile" UI design so much

  All 3 of your examples are add-driven free platforms for finding content that the platform didn't produce. Free platforms are incentivized to overwhelm you with options, forcing you to look at everything, including ads. Like a grocery store or Ikea, they don't want you to make a quick in-and-out visit. They want you to look at everything they have in hopes that you'll be impulsive. You want pretty much the... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• DDG founder says Google's phone, manufacturing partnerships thwart competition

  I've been using Kagi [0] since a few months and I am extremely surprised how well it works. With DDG it took a few months and then I just added !g everywhere because I never found what I was looking for. With Kagi I almost never do that, every now and then I think I am not able to find what I expect and then I add !g, so far it hasn't given me more then what Kagi gives me. So, I am wondering how much money you... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Google Pays $21B for Search Monopoly: How "Free" Tech Markets Repress

  Instead of DuckDuckGo and Ecosia whose use Bing Search, they should share real alternative like https://kagi.com/ or https://search.brave.com. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Tell HN: DuckDuckGo Search Results have jumped the shark

  I use DDG but actively of thinking switching to Kagi: https://kagi.com/ -- it's a paid service but I can justify it based on the amount of search queries I run everyday. Has anyone switched and not looked back? - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Replit moves to permanent paid hosting after 7 years of free service

  > If something means something to you, adds value to your life, or saves you time, maybe it’s worth considering paying for it if the value provided is worth the cost. Demanding free stuff is entitled and silly and needs to stop. At risk of derailing this conversation, but a common problem today is that oftentimes the companies offering a free service simply won't let you pay for it: long before Elon and Twitter... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Colorado Supreme Court Upholds Keyword Search Warrant

  Brave [1] seems to have stepped up their game - at least in the search engine space, and I should get around to trying Kagi [2] as well. [1] https://search.brave.com/ [2] https://kagi.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month

  There is one on the main page: https://kagi.com/ "Example search results:" click one of them and it takes you to https://kagi.com/search?q=python+exceptions Although tbh I'm not liking these results. One of the top results for Python Exceptions is "Python exceptions considered an anti-pattern" which is an opinoin boost rather than documentation. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month

  Hi Vlad, You might want the blog to prominently link back to https://kagi.com. "Home" took me to https://blog.kagi.com, I tried clicking on the pricing table image, etc. But nothing got me to the actual product. I had to manually enter https://kagi.com to see the product behind the blog. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Why does Google rank the real Python documentation below content farms?

  Some day I'm going to start paying these people: https://kagi.com DuckDuckGo is a bit better than Google at avoiding content farms and semantic web spam, but I think it's mostly for the same reason Linux and MacOS used to have zero malware. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Princeton ‘AI Snake Oil’ authors say GenAI hype has ‘spiraled out of control’

  I've been very pleased since I started paying for Kagi [0], partly on the strength of its positive reception around here. [0] https://kagi.com. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Princeton ‘AI Snake Oil’ authors say GenAI hype has ‘spiraled out of control’

  Kagi https://kagi.com/ is the paid search I've tried. It's was decent, but not a noticeable enough improvement to win me over as a customer. OTOH, I am a paying ChatGPT Plus user and there are some days where I feel like I get my monthly subscription price's worth in a single day. In terms of summarization, this study Anyscale just published is interesting - llama2-70b gets within a hairsbreadth of gpt-4/human... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Princeton ‘AI Snake Oil’ authors say GenAI hype has ‘spiraled out of control’

  Https://kagi.com/ is the one I see recommended. The results went to focus hard on "no blogspam" which is nice, and supposedly you can completely ban whole sites from your results forever (e.g. Goodbye GeeksForGeeks and your shit SEO hacking). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Build your own custom AI CLI tools

  Thankfully, these days are now over, as I can ask a just as clueless LLM to answer the myriad of questions I would otherwise have to google everyday (please don't use google, use kagi, you'll thank me later). Being part of a secret society of robo-scientists, I have been building some visionary software over the last couple of months, drawing inspiration from many sources, because writing software is about being... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
