Some of my best purchases were outdoor clothing I bought some 7 years ago on a whim. I constantly regret not getting some 10 of them, and sadly they don't make these anymore.

The UI is brilliant !

1. I like the way sources are listed on the right panel, that makes them easily visible as i scroll through the answer. 2. The rendering of the answers using rich visual components is nice to look at. I personally hate information dense reports that ChatGPT spews, which isn't easy to consume quickly.

What I miss though is iterations on the answer, as in, how do I specifically zoom into one aspect of the answer, and then easily zoom out and continue.

It is exactly what I am talking about. Rendering the component on the server, takes up resources, as opposed to just sending that data to the client, and the client rendering it.

In Nextjs, "use client" is used to force the rendering to take place in the client, because many components cannot me rendered in the server. For example maps. In this case, it's unnecessary to use an SSR framework.

I could imagine that the cash cow part of a product gets all the attention in the beginning. Does that stay the same through the life cycle? Or do you see that it takes a back seat while feature development on top of that takes the center stage at alter stages of the product?

[edited to add this] I also see that it's sometimes easier to build something new, than to go on maintaining something.

But I was equally surprised by how little this was being discussed, or (as far as I could tell) practiced in the real world. While there seemed to be endless threads on Twitter about server-side React (to get the UI generation closer to the data), no-one was talking about the opposite: moving the data to be closer to the UI, and onto the client!

This, I've wondered for a while. There is plenty of talk about server side rendering, which I don't think is useful for many apps out there. SSR is quite wasteful of the resources on the client side that can be made useful. And, I've seen many apps being developed with "use cliënt" littered all over, and that begs to wonder why do you even want SSR in your app.

This is exciting news!

There aren't many smart watches out there. I've loved what Garmin has done. I had always hoped something which would open up an ecosystem to build on. This looks promising on that front.

Initial positions and velocities are interesting. How did you get about that info?

I would love to read about how the orbital trajectories are calculated, and how is it done for co orbitals. Do you plan to write a blog on this?

This is crazy good! Thanks for building it...

Incredible to see the speed at which some of the bodies are moving ... Especially Bennu...

I hope there is a better way to maintain open source projects without being overly cautious and suspicious of every PR someone makes. Maintaining open source projects is hard, and this is going to slow down development on many projects. And, rightly so, it's better to make a good code base, rather than one that is littered with backdoors.

I wonder what could make this situation better for the maintainers of open source projects?

Latency from embedding models is still going to be the bottleneck for performance however fast the DB is going to be. Plus adding all the overhead of synthesising answers and summaries from a LLM is going to weigh you down.

I can't speak for VC, but, the way we look at education itself needs to change. The current system was built for a post war industrialisation era. I am not saying that it is right or wrong, but bringing in new technology to a system that was built for a different time and society is perhaps not ideal. I think the biggest EdTech out there is YouTube. I've built out a career from the content there is in YouTube. The content itself isn't pay walled, there is enough incentive for content creation and there isn't a single structure that decides what you should do or learn next. All of this is up to the user.

It could also be argued that content itself is educative to prompt the user to think, and act on what to do next. But, I am not sure how disconnected is that process from the recommendation algorithms.

Well, the food for thought is, perhaps what we need from Edtech is not to solve the problems of the past generations, but to change the way we educate ourselves.

This and the other engines seem to implement all the components of crawling, indexing, and searching strung together. Is there a reason for this? Wouldn't an option of, let's say, crawling + indexing made available separately, where others could built a search algorithm on top of, or just the crawling as a service made available. Are there stuff like these already available? Or is it just not a viable option?
