Agreed it's the future. It's a pretty obvious problem to make use of all the personalized data you have in an ecosystem and slap an AI to start answering questions. I tried something similar with Google's Gemini. I have a gma

Even Instagram/Youtube's recommendation algorithms, which I find decent, tend to have a lot of recency bias. This is probably not a bug but rather an optimization to ensure I spend more time on screen. (chances are higher I like t

Agreed 100% The only way a screenshotting AI tool could get away with it is if it was open source. There probably is a successful open source project waiting to be made there! Somebody else shared https://www.perfectmemory.ai&#x2

For sure! I meant something more along the lines of one unified engine. Today they're very disjoint. And some awfully terrible as you alluded to :)

Agreed. I also don't see them having much incentive to do this. It's pretty hard to get right, so unless they truly believe they can offer a superior alternative to Google (or any other search engine), they're unlikely to pur

Not in any way that's close to good, at least in my experience

What open source tools are you referring to? Do you just mean the search component? There'd be two hard parts to this problem I reckon: - gathering the data If you make it too cumbersome and with friction, it won't be used. If you

the problem is search sucks and doesn't give you the most valuable info you can find on a given topic related posts about the suckiness of search: - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30347719 - https://ne

Why don't we have personalized search engines?

I thought this would be interesting to the audience here. Uber is well known for its scale in the industry. Here are the latest numbers I compiled from a plethora of official sources: - Apache Kafka : - 138 million messages a second

Why would the author replying to comments be a bad thing? Shouldn’t be counted in the “50% imo” As for the potential of fake accounts - doesn’t HN have protection against this?

Salient points. If the Fed is behind the inflation, there is something we are missing. For example, I have personally struggled to find what bank reserves are useful for. I surely doubt they're totally useless. I can only assume that t

I’ve read this piece already, good to see it here as well. It made me rethink my portfolio - I have to say it really shines a light on the asset when put in context to all the things going on in our economy right now

This is why Blockchain is such an elegant solution to distributed consensus. I prefer calling it a distributed mechanism for emergent consensus . Consensus is not achieved explicitly - there is no election or fixed moment when consensus oc

Here's another Bulgarian in London's take: The culture is toxic. Especially if you are a student in your 20s. Violence is not uncommon and people generally look at you in a dominant way, even if you're not frail. I am not par

As a Bulgarian who lives in the UK, I can 100% attest to this. I've found it extremely hard to disengage from the culture I've been so used to for the first 21 years of my life while being surrounded by it. Whenever I go back I on
