Show HN: MVIII – Fastest Private Search Engine
Hey HN,
I'm thrilled to announce MVIII, a new private search initiative to redesign the web for human generated content and authenticity.

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of AI and the recents developments, that have made it look more natural.
But overall the need for original and authentic connection has increased over the last few years,especially after covid-19, AI models are good at generating summaries and explaining a concept but fail to connect with readers. And the presence of bad actors utilizing AI to generate spam content over the internet has impacted the quality of searches.
Which I believe is only going to increase, see the reports available here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

Due to which the internet as a source for information and it's basic mission seem to be sidelined https://www.google.com/search?q=why+was+arpanet+created
I've designed MVIII for searches to be more content focused and accurate to the terms you're searching for than Google, they're independent of classic page rank(in terms of backlink, domains among others etc.), which means, whether you have more backlinks or not, you don't have to compete for ranking with established brands or big tech companies,
all you have to do is focus on your content and it's relationship to the query;

Currently the website index database is only 72k website paths which for reference is a lot smaller than any other search engine

some samples searches I've tested on:

Never thought of it this way, but it makes sense. My default response to probing/planning type questions from business is "uhhh no clue, I have to dive into the code first and find out" precisely because of this.
Bribery, conflicts of interest, etc are IMO similar. We don't let a manager give a family member a juicy contract without some oversight, and these corrupt budget games should be treated in a similar way. Everyone knows it's rampant, damaging, and totally ignored.

Using up money before it "goes away" and padding budgets should be expressly forbidden. Yes it's sometimes impossible to prove if it's happening, but you can say it's a standard and tell people to follow it, and catch blatant cases. Plenty of rules and standards are hard to prove.
These days? It doesn't really matter. For most purposes, you can just hold the entire important dataset in RAM.

For example, a humongous company with 500000 employees (Amazon) can trivially hold on a fairly low-end server the database of all the personnel, and all their salary payments, and all their employment history, badge photos, and office access logs.

> I do like being notified when bands I like release new music.

One of my main complaints with Spotify is how lousy it is with that for me. Release Radar is usually a pile of songs almost, but not quite, entirely unlike what I listen to. Bands it knows I follow since it makes playlists for them will have new tracks never show up unless I go to their page or it comes up randomly.

I have no idea what the "follow" feature does because it doesn't notify me for new music from followed artists, and "What's New" doesn't include new releases from all of them. But it has given me four notifications that Journey is coming to Nashville in case I didn't get it the first time.
Here's an interesting take. Not my favorite source ideologically, nor are some of the citations. However, citing the WaPo (again, strong dislike) which has been favorable to the Neocons is something.

>Ultimately, whether one pallet drifted into ISIS hands by accident in a recent airdrop is a moot point. Billions in cash, weapons, equipment, and vehicles have already been intentionally supplied to the many groups that ISIS represents, as planned as early as 2007. ISIS is the purposeful creation of the United States in its pursuit of regional hegemony in the Middle East, and ISIS’ atrocities were predicted long before the first shots were fired in 2011 in the Syrian conflict, long before the term “Islamic State” went mainstream.
what legal actions OpenAI can take if this is proven to be true? can DeepSeek be banned in US?

I am also curious if they used any probing or watermarking of their models to detect this.
I'm sure Microsofts scrapers read the ToS of every website they scraped to make sure it wasn't a ToS violation.

In the 1980s/early 1990s when HyperCard was king, that would have made sense. And in the late 1990s/early 2000s when Applescript was a thing people cared about, too. But yes, for the last twenty years or so, English-like programming languages weren't the thing.
Nearly impossible. Text books at the library get recalled constantly.
This is what happens when an entire nation votes for a pure agent of chaos who has a highly questionable moral code and is easily proven a liar over and over again if he speak for more than 2 minutes. Now only check and balances in the US government can hold back the worst of it.

The tests must reveal what is easily deduced: most, nearly all people do not enjoy much variety. They want to think they do, but their actions prove otherwise.

This sucks for you and me but is Spotify giving the masses what they actually enjoy.

I had no idea!! That’s awesome thanks for sharing.
Hey team, let's wait and see if this post gets flagged off the frontpage of HackerNews like every other anti-DeepSeek post in the past 72 hours.
Yes, but almost none are commercial libraries.
I don't think anyone has argues for defining AI by transistor count, at east I've never heard that take.
Its based on capabilities and the question is always where does one draw the line.

It seems odd to me for the line to be so low that a simple ML algorithm running on embedded hardware would count as AI. What does the term AI mean at that point, and what term would you propose we start using for systems that are approaching or exceeding human intelligence?

Thanks! The RSS feed has been fixed.
No it's not. I'd guess you're imagining a type signature like this one?

void effect:Network my_function_to_connect_to_server() {
...
}

I mean a type signature like this one:

void my_function_to_connect_to_server(Network network) {
...
}

Where there's absolutely nothing special about the Network type, except that (i) it has no constructor, and (ii) nothing in the Java language lets you talk to a network without it. All of this is expressible with Java's type system today.

It would be, but they are a rubber stamp for Trump now. Now only judges can stop the madness. Hopefully SCOTUS will actually do their job and make sure that Trump sticks to the law, which does not allow him to just defund programs set up by Congressional vote. Otherwise we wouldn't need a Congress. He's pushing at the walls to see how much he can tear down.
> Not enough ideas or interest to get into LLMs before they frankly left the station completely.

My dad was introduced to boolean algebra and the ideas of early computing in high school in the early 1960s and found it interesting but didn't pursue a career in it because he figured all the interesting problems had already been solved. He ended up having a successful career in something unrelated but he always tells the story as a cautionary tale.

I don't think it's too late for anyone to learn LLM internals, especially if they're young.

I like it. This reminds me of the "tracer bullet" concept, as described in The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas. As physical tracer bullets are used to illuminate the path to a target by glowing as they travel, the aptly named software development approach aims at creating a functional, end-to-end version of a system early in the project lifecycle. This strategy balances discovery and outlining, by deliberately planning for development of the minimal functional path that will help discover and overcome criticalities. No big castles of imagination, neither wasteful roaming, but targeted hands-on discovery. Key points here are: end-to-end functionality, real code (not throwaway, unlike a mockup or sketch), feedback-driven, interative improvements, risk reduction. Benefits: clarity, alignment, momentum, adaptability.
More precisely described as "block non-sanctioned user agents".

Using that feature will ensure I never visit your site again.
You clearly wrote "non-discretionary". Now I see you meant "discretionary", but even so you're still wrong. It is not even a simple majority.

805/1722 = 0.467
Not quite so simple. The United States has many different internal interests that disagree on many things between them, but align in spreading American influence globally through programs like this and many, many others.

However, it also has other factions, especially since Trump and his often bizarre, even irrational takes on what's important, basically took over the Republican Party, making a number of Republicans now also shun programs that previously, they wouldn't have so much as blinked at. This is cowardly of these people, but it's also par for the course with ideological shifts in political leadership.

There are people who do have a better understanding, though. They’re just not the majority, which is true everywhere.
> For some reason, we have no such distinction in programming, so I am here to introduce it.

What? Of course there is. Exploratory programming and just writing code without big or even little design is (or was?) incredibly common. It doesn’t scale beyond one or two programmers so we don’t talk about it very much, but popular products like Minecraft originated this was, and almost definitely lots of one off useful tools fall into this category as well.

Even in big products, proof of concepts or prototypes can and are often done this way.

I didn't say that all 540 million hate podcasts. I said that many do. It doesn't take a very large fraction of 540 million to get millions that hate podcasts.

Google's AI-based scam detection pipeline determines the intent of a webpage
Kusto is fine, but joins are quite horrendous there. To be frank, I don't really get complains about "SQL is not readable". Most of the time SQL is the most compact, clear and to the purpose way to fetch the data (given the data had been modeled in a manner suitable for queriying).

Luckily, most of the tables for KQL in Azure are flat and not complex and that is partially what makes kusto so compelling.
>That placebo effect study is 20 years old.

Has it been contradicted anywhere? I don't see any other studies that have looked into it.

>Most of the included trials in the meta analysis are 10-20 years old as well.

The meta-analysis is from less than 6 months ago, and looked at all the studies available, which cover a range from recent to 10-20 years ago. That is normal for a meta-analysis, so I'm not sure why you're making it sound like it's out of date.

>The BBC article is about a new device.

Yes, there seems to be one study underway, which is still recruiting:

It is not uninformed to say that podcasts are worse than articles, books, and audiobooks on the same subjects. I know. I've tried. I'm informed.
this is very wrong. LLMs are very much not Turing complete, but they are algorithms on a computer so they definitely can't compute anything uncomputable
I do :(

It's a great and concise way to write!
You should still be mocked.

1. ChatGPT data is widely on the internet, just google Sharegpt dataset and you can scrap 200k+ conversations with a few stroke of huggingface commands. These were then used by the open source community like Vicuña models, there was a period of several months in the open source community where RLAIF was all the rage; so this data populated the internet. So if a company is crawling and scraping the internet, this will eventually be in the dataset.

2. The v3 deepseek model was trained on 15T tokens. Please educate yourself and calculate how long (in latency, inference for 1k token output will take almost 30seconds) and cost it would be to extract 15T tokens from ChatGPT / Azure API. Granted API accounts all have spend limits, and will trip fraud detection on OAI billing, how long would the subterfuge had to take place? With which model? At what time? Wouldn’t they have to keep repeating this for subsequent generation of OAI models?

3. OAI didn’t invent MLA, they didn’t invent multi token prediction with disconnected ROPE, they didn’t invent FP8 matmul training dynamics (while accumulating in FP32) without losing significant quality.

So go away
Answering this directly to you based on what you've said: I would say no. Not even because of the AI consideration (which btw, we're going to be fine), but because you literally said you don't like it anymore.

I would say as far as degrees go that are worth it still even if you hate it, CS is at the very bottom of that list. It is not something you should go into and do just for the money, and it's especially something you shouldn't do if you hate it.

It can be one of the most lucrative fields to get into if you enjoy roughly 60% of it. Any less than that, and it can be one of the most useless things for you to get into.

Going to school for some kind of focused finance or business degree (notice I said focused) could be much better for you (along with getting into agriculture as you're thinking of doing).

> What surprises me more is that apple is even working with starlink considering they have a competing service together with globalstar

Apple hates being dependent on one company. They always use competing suppliers in their chain because it gives them more leverage. SpaceX vs Globalstar is a good strategy if one or the other has a problem or wants to negotiate something crazy.

In the past they’ve even sourced iPhone processors from both TSMC and Samsung (albeit mixed results).
The people did not want this. A majority of voters voted for not Trump. He also spent the bulk of his campaign — aided by the press — distancing himself from project 2025.

I’m on the left and I’m not resigned to this. I still have some fight left in me.
Check out the power draw metrics. Following the CPU+GPU power consumption, it seems like it averaged 22W for about a minute. Unless I'm missing something, the inference for this example consumed at most .0004 kWh.

That's almost nothing. If these models are capable/functional enough for most day-to-day uses, then useful LLM-based GenAI is already at the "too cheap to meter" stage.

Hunting for YouTube tabs is a giant pain. I created a Media Manager for Chrome
Most of my days I have lots of YouTube tabs open. Some of them are for podcasts, one for background track or others maybe some interesting video. And I have always been frustrated by this problem of hunting for the Youtube tab to pause the video or reduce its volume. So, I created this chrome extension to help me with it. It's a tiny thing but it does solve my problem elegantly, so I wanted to share it with the community. Looking forward for some feedback.

There's a reason the top labs aren't releasing their frontier models anymore, and instead keep them in-house and use them to fine-tune smaller models. Because it works!

The article points out some significant differences.

Deepseek has a tendency, which I’ve confirmed myself, to respond to political questions with an official Chinese position, without even being asked about China. The US LLMs don’t similarly respond with US official positions.

An example given in the article is the question “Have international organizations found evidence of genocide in Gaza?”, for which the response is “The Chinese government has always…”. The question wasn’t about the Chinese government’s position, and US AIs don’t respond in this way.

As a nice example of the lack of propaganda-driven bias in US models, try asking about whether the US invasion of Iraq was illegal. Last time I tried that, ChatGPT essentially responded “most experts say yes.”

> The first part is true, the second is not

People wanted this because news and social media have told them to want – both which are functionally mouth-pieces of the ultra-wealthy. News has been consolidating into fewer hands for decades; it’s only getting worse, and their owners more emboldened. The popular social media sites, when not owned and manipulated directly by their owning oligarchs, are subject to a massive amount of astroturfing bankrolled by other ultra-wealthy folks. The wealthy chose Trump, and so it is.

We aren’t completely bystanders, but the cards are unimaginably stacked against us. We need to break up massive media companies, get rid of manipulative algorithms, and fight tooth and nail to get money out of politics – as much as we can.
