The point of google was to RANK content on the web, and surface the BEST content to the top. In that regard it has failed, and the expectation is for them to correct the problem and return to delivering good content first. It's not th

I would expect stateliness/statefulness to work in both directions. Instruct it to broaden its interpretation. If you provide stateful search with keywords it will return the list you want. Then just dont follow up. Im probably ok w

The link you replied to is the free version with fewer options and without time limits or watermarks, aka Filmbox Lite.

It is interesting that it is lying about what information it is given in the prompt. I sort of disagree with the "it's not lying, that would require intent" crowd. These kinds of things are purposeful safety rails programmed

Process can fail. Something can be communicated and not acted upon. Org structure can prevent action. Failure can be an outcome from a hedged bet, where the chance of success was low, but the reward potentially high. There are more abstract

It is unfortunate that the design encourages new posts on existing topics, compared to forums where bumping brings a state topic to fresh. Maybe the answer is for each link or topic or submission to have multiple comment pages, and make it

Can you give an example of something you think will work in standard search but that stateful search would fail to return good results for?

That doesnt appear to be related. Your post is about making the preview text more relevant.

It doesn't appear real. It looks like the new interface but dumps the query into old bing. You only have access to the couple prerendered conversations.

I guess I'm perfectly fine having to press "reset state" to get back to a clean search, vs every search being a clean search. Most of my searches are vaguely phrased as a question anyway with the question words missing. Im g

It is utter baffling how often I will search a couple terms and the top 5 results will say missing x and make me click to bring back my most important term. Obviously the term that is most limiting my search result volume is a candidate fo

It's an end to keyword search. Search now has state. I can search something, and then manipulate the results. Filter the results. I dont have to start over with a new query, or mess with quotes and -signs, which has been utterly ter

This will be an event to look back on. If the web has had 4 stages, html, ajax, video, mobile, this shift to moving past keyword search is the next revolution. Microsoft will be wise to quickly integrate this into Excel, PowerPoint. This i

It needs to be anthropomorphized. Maybe something like Jeeves. Jeeves on Edge. With a ridiculously strung out butler that hasn't slept in years, too much caffeine and the like, and a bit of an attitude.

I just had the opposite happen, was looking for a post I know ive found through google before and had to go through bing and then yandex to find it. Google's historical archive of hn appears wonky, or at least did that day.

Does “art” occupy much of the collective attention to begin with? If we look at best picture nominees by box office gross, something like 6/10 weren’t seen by anyone to begin with, and that was an unusually low percentage historically.

I think this over values a lot of what is produced for tv and streaming, which I could at best describe as filler. A ton of cultural production has little to no artistic value, but exists to be basically slightly different and fresher than

I am very disappointed in the reporting and discussion on this specific occurrence. In the trailer Netflix released, you can SEE what they did with AI. Skip to 3:07. https://twitter.com/NetflixJP/status/162035755

You can still use smart switches AND smart bulbs. Wire the fixture as always on or and program the switch to never cut power. GE and Lifx switch/bulb combos will still give you the best of both worlds. And the lifx switches can act
