All time great short story. Has shaped my world view since I first read it many years ago.

Perhaps this comment was intended for the age verification thread elsewhere on HN? Unclear how this relates to Department of War, Captain Underpants, etc.

Strong disagree — aggregate markers were super useful when browsing the map on mobile! Maybe need to add a flag for mobile vs. desktop, but the experience would be a lot worse on mobile without them.

I tried it on mobile. The clustering reduces it to 6 points for all of North America. My phone has over 3 million pixels, surely there’s room for more detail than that.

Cool stuff! I seem to have found a bug — often when I roll, I get this error and no roll happens:

  Error: The string did not match the expected pattern.

Hmm... I have not been able to replicate that... Can u screenshot it ? Thanks for trying it out : )

Considering the mention of AI in job searches and screening, I don’t know if this is actually from 2016. Some fantastic advice in here though, particularly on navigating political / technical landscapes

Ok, we'll take 2016 out of the title above. Thanks!

Correct the url has 2026, probably a typo

oh the irony, the status link being down too

status page being affected by the same issue is so lame

It begs the question from a noob like me... Where should they host the status page? Surely it shouldn't be on the same infra that it's supposed to be monitoring. Am I correct in thinking that?

Interesting, free AI coding agents but "completely for free because we use anonymized usage data for model training and other purposes."

Not quite sure how I feel about that, but I guess the major AI players are already using chats for model training anyways. Reminds me a bit of OpenRouter with grok code fast 1, trading off hot models for usage stats.

I love everything that Kagi has put out. The Orion browser rocks (recently replaced Brave, good riddance) and my go-to chatbot today is the Kagi Assistant with Kimi K2 connected to the internet.

I tended towards Axios but lately it's gotten a bit paywalled and less informative. Can't wait to incorporate Kagi News into my daily workflow.

This feels like an incredibly low valuation for what has been billed as such an important commodity.

It's a forced takeover at (metaphorical, for now) gunpoint, fair valuation has nothing to do with it.
