Re:Ask HN: Did bandits go out of fashion? on Friday February 21, 2025 @01:42PM (#43131274)
I have been looking for resources about contextual bandits too . But i failed finding anything good . Closest thing i found was Vowpal wabbit , same as you and same problem - unmaintained . Tried searching hn about bandits but didn't find anything useful either .

I was looking for algorithms that can find new interest of users . I felt like after all these research all i learned is the ancient technique of showing x percent of random items to users .

Where does it fetch the results from at the first step ? Bing , Google or it's own index ?
Re:Google searches bad. What to do? on Friday November 01, 2024 @01:51PM (#42019634)
Do you mean google search liaison ? And for your other part of the comment They don't need statements because quarterly report is up and doing well as seen in the latest report .

How do ml based search and index based differ ? Can you elaborate more on this ?
Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @02:07PM (#42009613)
Only if openai is willing to play it . If they follow google than seo-llm won't even exist because there will be no need for it.
Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @02:05PM (#42009595)
I meant your average user can test a handful of sites if they are seo spam or good sites but a single search return 10+ results and even more when a user searches multiple things , multiple times a day . Average user doesn't have the time to test these many websites.

oh I thought you meant something like commenting under search result links like youtube videos.

I might be mistaken but i think ff mobile does something similar of grouping search session

Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @01:40PM (#42009268)
Average serp page has 10 results . What if all 10 matches with your blacklist ? Not to mention you can't do anything if the engine dosen't search deeper .
Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @01:37PM (#42009224)
How many can you block and filter manually ? 10 ? 100 ? 10k ? Who will test sites for the blocklist ? The domain block feature is great but unless it's collaborative listing it's not gonna be super effective.
Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @01:33PM (#42009176)
If they do that , That's a genius idea.
Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @01:30PM (#42009132)
Can you tell me a bit more ? What do you mean by search session ?
Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @01:24PM (#42009056)
I think if they improve the algorithm maybe they can actually present seo free results.

Ask HN: What's the best resource to catch up with ML and LLMs?

I felt like there are too many resources and they were rather scattered . For example i found good articles about explaining transformers and for embeddings but i felt like there were information/steps missing .I tried searching for k means and i found about it but i feel disconnected . I am looking for something that is structured but no too advanced for a full fledged ml engineer .

Why would i want condensed results ? Why Do you think i would want to have a condensed version of this post [0] for example.

Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @01:06PM (#42008842)
Yeah . It needs to filter seo optimized articles first and search more niche sites or it will be your average chat gpt with search project from github.
Re:ChatGPT Search on Thursday October 31, 2024 @01:00PM (#42008757)
Can it find obscure sites like marginalia does or personal blogs posted in hn or it's just another bing + ai summarizer ?
Re:Bluesky Is Not Decentralized on Saturday October 26, 2024 @05:48AM (#41953731)
You expressed it perfectly in word which i couldn't. People's hate for algorithm is so weird . Without the algorithm they can never find quality or content they are interest in .
Can you elaborate a bit more ?
Four attempt and all failed , How does it even happen ? Its not like it was a non existent market as whatsapp/discord/messenger is thriving.
What do you mean ? what chat ? google hangouts ?
why ?
What made you not feel impressed ?
Anyone has any info about how competent fox is ? Can he fix google or same as previous.
Re:I'm Peter Roberts who does work for YC and startups. AMA on Thursday October 17, 2024 @02:38PM (#41872432)
How do ycombinator signs deal with startup that were accepted but the founder is in another country ? Do they ask to visit us or there are other options.
Yup , it's him who you are thinking about if you read the article "the man who killed google " .A side question : Does this mean zitron was right ?
The discovery feed is barely functional . Dosen't learn what i want to see nor does the search . Open protocol and api is bskys best feature that i love but a real algo isn't one git clone away for average user nor it is is financially viable.
Why did dorsey left bsky for twitter again ?
