Bing is dead?

• bartl 16y ago
  Well, according to this post, everyone who was technically knowledgeable about Bing has left. That implies that there will no longer be any relevant technical progress, any more.

    Not sure this is relevant progress but 18 march bing for "HG download" gave no mercurial results (hg was assumed to be a mistyping of HD), by 24 march it was giving all mercurial results. I twittered about both. That is at least anecdotal evidence that things are progressing in some way or another.

      That's not necessarily a change in the codebase, that could be the system learning from associations in queries and results it gets over time (something I know Google does and has for years, at least).

      Unpredictability is progress?
      • cdesmar 16y ago
        Returning meaningful results is progress. Why would you want a predictably wrong answer, you must be a manager.

          Actually, you've plotted two data points here. That doesn't tell you much. How do you know it doesn't go back to showing irrelevant results on the 28th?
