The one thing bing is good for is changing the background pic on my microsoft launcher. Don't know why they went through the trouble to develop all that websearch bloatware around it. Daily wallpapers is where it's at for this thing.

Keep in mind that "Anchorage," as it comes up on a websearch, is a very large area. (The city itself is actually pretty compact compared to many cities of similar population, but "Anchorage" extends well beyond the city.)

I'd like to not have a 4+ hour daily commute, if it's avoidable.

I don't like punching across at other indie devs. So y'all know this is a giant red flag. Did my own websearch and came to the same conclusion that this one is a nazi.
So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST.

The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

[1/24] Added gateway hint headers for request grouping, managed settings for model availability control (exact matching and denial lists), and OpenTelemetry logging for tool outputs including MCP, WebFetch, and WebSearch when enabled.

is there a way for me to not manually approve websearch tool calls for zed literally every single time i like dont Care that much about that????

I am going to spontaneously combust the next time I see someone confidently assert that google intentionally "ruined" websearch. That's not a thing. That did not happen. Your only source for that is a bunch of substack articles that are effectively fanfiction about google management. Stop. STAAAHP.

You can find the first gen at thrift or pretty cheap online and there are options to hack it available with a quick websearch

They are very flexible and honestly better than the newer ones

I love mine

I like #OpenCode because you can just instruct the AI to build you plugins for adding functionality and the experience is pretty good (also, #EffectTS FTW). Here's another simple plugin that adds the Brave Search API as a `websearch` (tool) provider:

Fable 5.1 migrated 2 million lines of Java from Java 17 to Java 21 in under a day. It found the OpenRewrite recipe via WebSearch.

Absolute Cyborg's new look pulled 57k likes. Absolute is DC's line that rebuilds its icons from scratch, so no design is safe. Cyborg was already half machine. Now the blueprint is new too. 🤖

it's a silly test, but it is really something my agent devised to benchmark human's coding ability. you can't use ai, but websearch is ok.

I did a quick websearch, and found several articles from several sites reporting this, including:

How Barack Obama helped convince NBA players to end their strike and return to play
In a call with Chris Paul and LeBron James, Barack Obama urged NBA players to return to the court and resume the playoffs.
