It is trivial compared to the task of translating a user query into search results. It's akin to saying the magic behind OpenGPT is the dataset.

- Dylan16807 4y agoKeyword search is not that hard. Pagerank is not that hard. The comparable goal to the article is to be a search engine, not to fight google for best results.
- threeseed 4y ago> Keyword search is not that hard. Pagerank is not that hard. George Hotz, is that you ?
- Dylan16807 4y agoKeyword search and pagerank had working solutions decades ago. Hotz was trying to make a car controller that had never been done before, by himself, and then he wanted to """improve""" search with no explanation of what that meant that I saw. I think if he was tasked with taking twitter from no search to "has a search" he probably could have managed it. A team of five people definitely could have managed it.
- ilyt 4y agoI think you severely underestimate the effort search engines have to put to filter out all the SEO garbage and come up with some sensible results
- Dylan16807 4y agoI don't underestimate the effort, I claim that it's not strictly necessary to have more than a couple people working on it for a minimum viable product, and less for a beta.
