That's great, then show me the design plan to construct an F35. I'll wait.

There's no way on Satan's green earth that a small startup company started in 2018 has a search engine index as large and fast as the one started 30 years ago and has been indexing the entire internet since then (Google). Even Microsoft can't compete without dumping billions of dollars into Bing by forcing people to use it as default on their operating systems, renting/purchasing the now ancient Yahoo indexing databases, leeching software engineer talent from competitors with promises of huge paychecks, and greasing hands in China.

In case anyone reading this is curious, Kagi is not capable of storing the impossibly vast and expensive data storage and speeds required to query large indexes of the internet, and so leverages Google and Bing indexes in its search, which is exactly what SearXNG and DuckDuckGo both do for free.

What you pay for is honestly a fancy UI and the ability to quality control the search results for them, again already done for free by other search engines.

Why not use this and select whatever LLM to leverage as a RAG? It literally allows you to self host the model and select any model for both chat and RAG analysis. I have it set to Hermes3 8B for chat and a 1.3B Llama3 as the RAG.

Or it was likely not a single individual, but a government contractor. How else could a compartmentalized secret remain so for this long?

Of course these millionaire executives are so disconnected from reality that they blame the customer for their failures.

That's a healthy take from upper management, if I've ever seen one. /s

Those MaxPros in the thumbnail image are unsafe rollover death traps on wheels, and I bet real money their A/Cs don't work.

This art looks cool, and the premise sounds interesting.

I love FreeBSD and read this entire blog post; it was a complete waste of my time. Not recommended.

Just read a random man page or literally anything more productive over reading this bloated self-gratification filled word vomit.
