I never thought leopards would eat MY face!

I tried DDG many times for work. Often I don’t find the result I want at all. I try different queries and all, but I only find barely relevant shit. I switch to Google, and immediately the top result is exactly what I want.

That’s easily abused. Search engines before Google were pure keyword search, but those were quickly abused. People just made websites with all types of keywords just to get on top of search results. Google’s PageRank fixed this - temporarily. People were quick to abuse it too.

It doesn’t matter what you try to do. Somebody will figure out how to abuse it.

The point of the article is that whatever is replacing Google is not going to be better. It’s not Google that is broken. The entire web is.

I don’t think the algorithm is the problem. The problem is that sites started to capitalize on your attention. Everybody wants your sweet little attention so they can earn money from it. Internet also moved into walled gardens of money making machines (like Instagram, YouTube and TikTok).

It doesn’t matter which algorithm is used. Somebody will crack it and abuse it for their own good.

There’s no reversing this.

When will JQuery make its return?

Especially with frontend. Feels like every few years there’s a complete paradigm shift that forces everything to be rewritten from scratch.

That looks pretty cool tbh

The problem with search engines isn’t the search engines themselves. The problem is that sites game the system. Everybody want to be at the top of the search results, so they do whatever it takes to get there.

You can start a brand new search engine, but if it get popular enough it will also be gamed to the point it’s useless again.

Elm season!

Try training a deep learning model on your GPU with some other programming language.

The Three Body Problem trilogy, especially the first two books.

Trying to avoid too many spoilers, the first book is about a Chinese scientist investigating a mysterious threat. It’s not too heavy on world building, and it’s set on present day earth.

Second book, The Dark Forest, is about how this impossible threat is dealt with, and I think it’s one of the most fascinating things I’ve read.

I think the third book, Death’s End, went overboard quite a bit, but it’s still a good one.

Data Scientists and AI engineers. Python has really good libraries for machine learning and other numerically intensive applications. Try launch deep learning models on your GPU with only shell scripting.

IE wasn’t pre-installed until Windows 98. You had to buy it in a separate package for 95.

The numbers are just exported from open critic

He accidentally hit a missile. Shit happens.

Machine learning is generally considered AI.

The cope is strong. Let’s not pretend fewer active users is a good thing. It just means people are unhappy and are leaving.

Wow, that’s worse than I thought. What a shitty company. Glad I made the right judgement when they went all in on cryptocurrency bullshit.
