I would normally just upvote, but I want to personally thank you for following up with a motivating example.

Do you have any actual hard data you can link to? When I test your hypothesis by searching for "2019 honda cbr1000rr wiring diagram" [1] the first results are images of the wiring diagrams and then links to the exact non-SEO optim

All these conversations have one glaring omission. As it stands right now, ChatGPT is a net negative on the ecosystem it exists in. What does that mean? ChatGPT extracts value from the ecosystem by hoovering up primary sources to provide

I’m sorry, I’m not a marketer, I’m a SWE working on a team within Google Search. Google Search is composed of many teams, and my team is not responsible for following up on any type of public user feedback because our users are internal.

Hey Michael, I appreciate the effort you put into describing a few examples: 1. If you could link to specific examples and queries that’d be super helpful for someone like me that’s not active on the forums you’re describing. 2. Algolia is

You should try to assume good faith when engaging with a person who’s just like yourself. First, we can agree that Google Search is attempting to solve an astronomically hard problem. Like mind boggling hard. Indexing the entire web and ser

Thank you for the kind words. Long time HN member here like you (going on 11 years) that recently started working on Search as a SWE. Yes, that meme is very common. I hope I can contribute positively to these discussions by offering an outl

Would you mind providing details like the search query and link to the page you expect to be found? To test your hypothesis, I did a basic search for exact matches on "we do not synchronize on the update of the broker node" and Go

Thanks for the response. I was responding to the comment more so than advocating for adjusting your log retention. :) Looking forward to part 2. Are you able to reconcile some of the numbers and calculations in the article for me? (Understa

Like markets... executives can stay irrational longer than you can remain sane, sometimes.

Yes, shipping computations instead of data is a reasonable design goal. Your proposed system only works when the predicate is independent across all logs though, correct? If you have to correlate or join your logs to anything, then this mod

Does Hypothesis require a cloud account that syncs your annotations? If so, these products are a non-starter for any corporate environment, which is unfortunate. Obsidian gets this right. Most software these days doesn't which is a sha

Thanks for taking the time to put together a well-reasoned argument. I had adopted some of your assumptions in a follow-up response to my other reply. [1] While I don't disagree with the perspective you've provided, in fact some p

I’d call it an assumption, not so much a flaw. :) We can make other assumptions. To break even, Google would at least need to cover their expenses. Google had $200B in expenses for 2022, with a net profit of $50B. So, that won’t really chan

Reality doesn’t lend support toward your arguments. I assume you’re from a first-world country, based upon your comment. - Google’s 2022 revenue was $250B. (We’ll assume that’s all ads.) - 8B people in the world; we’ll assume only 4B people

Thank you for being a helpful human being. From one swe to another, why does Meta require one-off corrections from a back channel based upon an individual employee’s generosity? Shouldn’t our responsibility scale, not just our technical sys

Exactly, the opportunities for you to converse are there. You can act upon the author's advice. I suspect you're choosing not to in your daily life. You can talk to anyone, not just the regulars, with a little bit of observation.

You captured two of the author's points well: 1) more vulnerable, intimate conversations that eschew social norms can lead to more and deeper friendships; and 2) to grow deeper connections you should cast a wide net and filter down bas
