> People aren't using it for reasons other than its capabilities.

This is very true. I have no idea how it performs, as I wouldn't use it even if I was paid for that. Wouldn't matter if it was the best model available, in my view the name is so thoroughly tainted by now that you would get a reputational hit just by admitting to use it.


Interesting, but the headline was misleading -- this was about the time to get the first 90%. The last drop was not discussed. I was already intrigued about how one could know when a drop was the last drop.

This, and I curate a tree of MD docs per topic to define the expected structure. It is supposed to output code that looks exactly like my code. If not, I manually edit it and perhaps update the docs.

This is how I've found myself to be productive with the tools, or since productivity is hard to measure, at least it's still a fun way to work. I do not need to type everything but I want a very exact outcome nonetheless.


I don't know what changed, but in recent months it has become impossible to pass. Not a single success, whereas earlier it wasn't failing ever. Firefox on Android. Maybe I look like a bot now, for whatever reason.

It's not 40+c/kWh, the market end-user rate is around 26-30 now. And includes transmission and taxes -- worth noting as some countries talk of price before transmission & tax.

For quite many banks a mobile phone is now the only 2FA they support.

So glad my brokerage supports good old totp.

Or worse.

My bank closed down their old online banking site and the new one needs the phone for 2FA... but ... drumroll ...

... the idiots also want me to keep using the token device to log in before approving the log in via my phone.

Security theater.


So switch the bank? Worked for me.

I'm doing the research ofc. Have other things to look for besides not being dependent on a phone so it will take a bit.

They didn't start from scratch, the first Jolla phone was released in 2013. The Sailfish OS continues the Maemo/MeeGo lineage that Nokia abandoned.

Ahh that finally explains the [delayed] posts. For ages I've wondered what that is about and assumed it's some automated rate limiting.

I use regular Firefox with the option to delete all data on quit. And I quit maybe once per day or so, as soon as I feel there are too many tabs open. Serves the same purpose.

Have you tried Kagi yet? It's pretty popular among HN folks, and I find it easily worth the price.


Kagi indirectly funds the Kremlin's regime, just to know where your money goes if we're talking about not supporting google.


Even worse: it funds the White House’s regime more, by a large margin


You make it sound like a significant amount is going to Kreml but I assume the API cost for using Yandex from Kagi is neglectable and only a fraction of that goes to the Russian government. Isn't this more of a symbolic thing to request not cooperating with Russian companies?


For some people it doesn’t matter how negligible. And it’s better to know and make up their own mind.


I think that "it's better to know" only really holds up if the scope / context is also included. To put it in concrete terms, I'd amend your statement like this:

Kagi indirectly funds the Kremlin's regime by paying for Yandex API access.


Damn, how so?


A small percentage goes to Yandex because they use Yandex as an index: https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio...


Thanks, I'll keep from recommending Kagi in the future.

Thanks for this! That’s incredibly disappointing.


How so?
