Hey! I'd love to contribute to this directory. My personal website is https://sparker.co - it's my professional presence where I share thoughts on product development and the tech industry. I work in Product at You.com and am passionate about building great user experiences.
If the ads are just brought in as a stream of text from the same endpoint that's streaming you the response you're wanting, how can that be blocked in the browser anyway?
Another local LLM extension that reads the output and determines if part of it is too "ad-ey" so it can hide that part?
It will depend on how they implement the sponsored content. If there are regulations that require marking it as sponsored, that makes it easy to block. If not, then sure maybe via LLMs.
"Banksy" is now a group of artists, but the original is believed to be Robin Gunningham. He is named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit against Pest Control (the company that sells and validates Banksy art).
His identity has been known for quite some time. His first name is Robin, and he used the alias Robin Banks for a while, which eventually became Banksy.
But also Banksy is something of a collective effort, with people like 3D from Massive Attack apparently occasionally collaborating.
I agree. I’d like to see rail service straight through too. It would be so cool to be able to hop on a train and ride 2 hours or so and step off the tracks next to Lake Erie to catch a Browns game or explore Cleveland (and other permutations of this).
I'm a product manager working on code.you.com. This is good feedback and an interesting suggestion. We'll work on adding those special characters, variables and casing to make the search better for coding.
We're just getting started but working really hard to make this something special. There is a fairly active slack community if you have any other suggestions and want to share. thx.
Google tried it in 2009, failed.
Microsoft tried it in 2013, failed.
Startups across the board have tried it.
I think it is because "social" usually implies to a user that they are searching for a person, not the content they create. And previously, there wasn't a ton of UGC that was relevant to a query.
Disclaimer: I'm a You.com employee working on search.
This is one of the reasons I love working for You.com.
SEO is killing Google and it needs to be addressed before it kills the internet. Having the opportunity to build an app that solves a search, instead of perpetuating a spam system, has been really rewarding... and we're just getting started.
It's crazy how quickly I got quality results for "java ed25519 bouncy castle" on both You and Kagi. I literally spent all day on Monday using Goog and DDG trying to find implementation examples of Ed25519 and AES-256-GCM in Java, trying every variation of keyword, verbatim quotes, and site scope I could think of, and ended up using GH gist search instead to find what I was looking for. The results on Goog/DDG were literally all SEO spam sites copying content from SO or the Bouncy Castle docs that I had already read.
I've been trying out Kagi as my default search engine, but will give You a try next.
