The problem, IMO, might be the monoculture we have around search. Because Google is soo big, it's enough for spammers to target it and they have the vast majority of the search visibility. If we had better, more diverse competition, that might manifest as a tradeoff, presumably, they would have competing and diverse criteria so you would probably not be the top result on _all_ dominant search engines. SEO spam needs upkeep and attention to latest algos, else it decays. Competing algos would yeld better results for everyone. Maybe Google is just ripe for a shakeup.

One could literally cache all the audio in RAM and not worry about storage characteristics.
Hell, even if the switch was incompliant and noisy af, if tcp/ip packets got through, it would not affect audio quality.
I for one think it’s a very interesting time for generative art sparked by NFTs. People that I’m following since Macromedia Flash for their digital experiments are suddenly creating NFTs. In the process everybody is motivated to improve their quality.

Yes, there are some annoying effects as well, the shilling and hyper speculation. But overall I’ve seen an amazing output of interesting works last year. Some of the recent works of Genuary that I’m seeing are really interesting.
It's really an in the moment decision. So yeah, I wouldn't plan to just do that.

Edit: yes 1 to many communications existed but they either required expensive publishing or they were tied to a physical location (eg a physical notice board).

As electronics engineers and experts, many of us take issue with fraudulent claims in electronics. Audiophile-market electronics seem to show up as fraudulent more than many others. It has nothing to do with the audiophiles.
> I get spending lots of money on quality DACs, amplifiers, speakers, headphones, etc...

A/B testing audio reproduction components is extremely difficult. The human perceptual mechanism is a pattern detector, not a fine-grained measurement device — it's impossible to preserve sounds in memory long enough to make a informed distinction, all you have are the impressions the sounds left behind. You can improve with training, allowing you to recognize more patterns and thus capture better impressions, but only to an extent — recalling what something sounded like is still very lossy.

Combine that with human status seeking and the placebo effect and you get $2500 audiophile ethernet switches.

> using it for 7+ years

That's not really very long, IMO. There's a huge amount of churn in programming systems these days. Once upon a time, writing compilers and designing languages was something that nerds did for fun and instruction, in their spare time. People didn't get paid to write compilers.

Incidentally, I've never heard of "svelte".
Because the people involved find it unpleasant to notify candidates of a rejection.

"Unpleasant" to send a standard form letter? I don't buy that.

I do agree though that it's what they prefer. As a reflection of how they are, and how they look at people.
I think pg is missing something important here. The reason Google was able to beat Yahoo, Altavista, Ask, etc. was not just because they had a better formula — it was also because they started in the era where 'search' was still seen as secondary to 'portals' by the big guys. Had these companies known how important search is to the internet back then, they would've copied Google's secret sauce and crushed it long before it could suck up their traffic.

This isn't going to happen again. Google isn't going to sit around twiddling its thumbs while a competitor develops a better algorithm.

You have to attack the problem from a different angle entirely (make something that looks nothing like a search engine), I don't think a niche market is going to be enough.

Perhaps you just want to make something that scares Google into acquiring you, rather than actually bettering the situation. If that's the case, I implore you to think of doing better ways to spend your life.
I have a wild hypothesis about these super expensive audio gadgets: Sure, they're made to be sold, but they also enable the sales of less expensive but still hyperbolic gadgets. I've seen reactions to these devices along the following lines:

"I can't believe that a $2500 power cable can possibly produce a benefit, so I went with the $500 power cable instead."

Bingo, you just paid $490 more than necessary because the $2500 item created an aspiration in your imagination.

Software Engineer (Web Backend)

You'll be helping us build backend services in Django, Python, and occasionally Go. You'll be creating new features, making improvements, occasionally troubleshooting customer issues when they come in.

A short summary of our tech stack: We use Django, Python, Go, React, and TypeScript, with some PHP and WordPress thrown in. Our databases are MySQL and Redis, and everything is running on Google Cloud and Google Kubernetes Engine.
Also Mark Twain: "I never write metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city."
For me this page is marred by the downvoting. Can't we just be big boys and girls and realize that we won't agree with everyone else, that we don't need to warn others that there's something we don't agree with?
I believe google tracks click throughs from search results pages, which should provide in theory plenty of insight into what links aren't really working for specific keywords and what are... thus helping improve or reduce rankings of SEO laden sites.

Wonder if someone can throw light on to why this isn't effective.
There is a comment addressing this and mentioning that (as far as I understood) there could be excess hydrate that is part of the natural crystallization process. Also he could get the reaction wrong and it's large crystals of a different molecule.

I just find it hard to believe that a renown lab specialzing in highly explosive compounds had this stuff explode when turning on the spectrometer, but he could hit it with a hammer.

I don't assume malice on either part, so the best explanation for me is that they were testing different things.

Given that he did it using a different synthesis using public shop grade starting materials in his garage and having no equipment to really verify his intermidiates and final compound it also seems likely. Also this is not addressed in the video. The video is popular/humorous science and not research afterall.

I'm actually a bit baffled that this video is taken at face value as disproving the labs original publication. But I also can't put the 1.5 Joule part in relation and a spectrometer creates more force than a soft hit from a hammer?
Some kinds of "spam" can improve search results.

Things have changed in the past few years, now that Google has developed advanced transformer models, but for a long time Google's question answering facility has been: "let spammers make 10^8 pages where the title is the question and the answer is in the page".

The trouble is that there's a fine line between "answer is in the page" and "word salad!"
There seem to be a lot of these services ("scrape X in order to generate an RSS/webhook/etc. change feed for X"), but I feel that I can't rely on any of them.

For anything that I would need this particular service for, my highest-concern requirement is that I'm able able to "set and forget" the service for literal years at a time. But almost always, services like this just drop dead eventually; or they tweak their scraping algorithms in ways that make previously-working configs break; etc.

Is there a change-detection service like this, being provided with stable SLAs by one of the cloud IaaS providers?

I suppose I could always find a self-hosted software product for this, and deploy it myself. But though the software would be stable, that's not very "set and forget" either; I'd be on the hook for applying updates, etc.

I want something that is to the "HTTP response change detection" abstraction, as S3-alike object-lifecycle event notifications are to the "object-storage change detection" abstraction. Some simple plumbing primitive that does exactly one thing, exactly one (obvious) way, that can be used to build the higher-level abstractions I want, with nine nines of uptime behind it, and the expectation it'll stick around for at least the next decade.
For anyone interested in how things work under the hood, I wrote a brief summary here: https://eric.mann.blog/end-to-end-encrypted-secret-sharing/
Sounds like he thinks of himself as an awesome super manager while at the same time being completely divorced from reality.

I am wondering if this is real or an Office/IT crowd fanfic.

Sailing into 2022 with wind-powered cargo ships
Not really that simple, I see a lot of potential for abuse - using bots and brigading to mass downvote your competitors or political opponents.

Couple of positions up or down in google results for somewhat popular and valuable keywords can mean the difference in thousands of dollars per day of ad or affiliate revenue. I suspect it would get pretty wild if google launched something like this. There already are black-hat seo methods and services, but something so simple and direct would turn it up to 11.
It's fairly easy (trivial) to serve a different install script to a full web browser than to curl.

That's just one of the problems, but I'd say it's the main one. If you truly trust the creator with install power, download the script yourself with curl/wget/whatever, have a glance if it's what you expect, and fire away.
The post mentions the rate is per-capita
To whoever says that politics is not religion look at the myth built up around communists. They're fabrications.
Especially since "made a change that improved search result relevance by X%" is an extremely compelling story for promotions. If indeed there is a launch-driven culture for promos at Google then there'd be extra incentive for new mechanisms to reduce low quality search results.

At that level of paranoia, a special Ethernet switch may be an improvement. I still don't see the benefit over using an optical cable.
