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 ?

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 ?

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.

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

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 .

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.

If they do that , That's a genius idea.

Can you tell me a bit more ? What do you mean by search session ?

I think if they improve the algorithm maybe they can actually present seo free results.

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

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.

Can it find obscure sites like marginalia does or personal blogs posted in hn or it's just another bing + ai summarizer ?

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.

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 ?

It's worse than ever . Did you even read news related to twitter ? The X branding ? Mass layoff that's killing the development, Crypto spams ? , Blue check confusion , Link penalty ?

Reddit ? that's a forum for content generation

Mastodon ? No one knows you unless you have other socials

Instagram ? it blocks pc traffic , no retweet

Threads ? maybe the only one viable but it's meta

Facebook ? Um good luck

Tiktok ? It's just videos , it's far from soical media .

It's bleeding users. Bleeding users = no revenue . He can't sustain it forever from his pocket and lost user means the platform is as worthless as a random mastodon instance that no one knows about.

How ? Are long text for a social media that has 24 hour lifetime and exclusive to premium users worth it . I would be nice if it was available for all , since sometimes you need more than 280 character to express your self .
