News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I are working on releasing a post about it: ceramic is extremely cheap and works well for broad, preliminary searches; seltz is very fast; brave has strong general internet coverage, but might not be the best for domain-specific queries like financial research; exa is particularly strong for entity and people search but can be bad at latest news, while parallel has been performing well under high concurrency.

Those are some examples. You may want to choose the best providers for your use case, that is exactly why we are building telem.ai!

Show HN: Telem – Route agent web search across providers and inspect the traces

https://telem.ai/

TL;DR: Web search open router that routes agent web search across providers (Exa, Parallel, Tavily, Brave, SerpAPI etc.), and traces web search results with quality metrics, so you can visualize whether a bad agent run is a web search problem or a reasoning problem.I work in venture capital, and before that I worked in information retrieval. When agents went viral, I built a due diligence agent...

Just don’t blame the us or anyone when there’s another Rwanda massacre and nobody intervenes
I think that is skydio not anduril? Or if you could provide source about gur complaining against anduril really appreciate it
This. Many comments talking about how e motor is superior in terms of energy efficiency just failed to realize. Cost and energy density matters the most in transportation, and cost is down when solar is abundant so hydrogen makes more sense
Re:OpenAI Brings ChatGPT to iOS on Friday May 19, 2023 @08:57AM (#36001368)
Canadian here can’t use it yet. Does it have access to preinstalled iOS apps like reminder? I use them daily with Siri which I really can’t be much fond of…
but still, it does not prove much of a bias in my point of view. SF was known for homelessness & crime & drug crisis back before the tech boom. it used to be the veterans with mental illness and nowadays teens or common people with such.
ya you guys are right ab this one
It’s just simply false. Crimes in SF were bad even before the dot com era. Remember the roof top Koreans? I’d give police & drug policies more credit for this
Isn’t this the norm for search engines? Guess you privileged westerners don’t know about Google’s alternative *in china* Baidu. Regular users just try to avoid every download link directly from it.
Re:Remote Work Is Gutting Downtowns, Will Cost Cities $453B on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @01:33PM (#33884850)
Typical BI. Should have its title changed to: Remote work is making downtowns more affordable, will save people $blablaB
and i have another question. silver bullet runs very smoothly on my mobile web browser (safari from iOS). but is there a simple way to self host it on my mobile device (say on an iphone)? or i have to self host it remotely on some other machine to access it on a mobile device?
absolutely cool. i am currently an obsidian user and have one thing special not fond of, which is it is not web based. silver bullet kills this one.

your app seems solid and neat, but the introduction video link does not work. it redirects to https://silverbullet.md/fs/( which is a blank page to me.

edit: i am using uptodate google chrome.

Re:Elon Musk owns Twitter: The story so far on Friday October 28, 2022 @05:18PM (#33378046)
Saying it is some country’s WeChat is like a curse… as WeChat is notorious for its closed mindedness and probably hated by most of its users… and they won’t even have any other option because Tencent is actively striking down all potential competitors…
It looks clean and super good! Considering moving from Obsidian as it gets more refined.

A few more features IMO would be nice: (fuzzy) search; task management; math formula support; or just expose API for such development would be great as well.
