Marginalia: 3 Years
> I think a larger concern is how you'll address the Bus Factor going forward
I can't speak to how much energy it is to go from code to serving requests, but FWIW the code is AGPLv3 and seems to be updated regularly https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch/blob/v2...

The Internet Is Full of AI Dogshit
Regarding the last sentence: The problem is that capitalism knows no limits. Sure, it would be nice to pay a monthly subscription for genuinely good and desirable content/search results...
But what if the CEO of the service provider needs another $5m bonus? What if the stock needs to go up so that the shareholder gamblers can get more dividend paid? What if all of a sudden the service gets bought out?
The truth is that what you are seeking is more likely to come from someone who is just passionate about it with not that much motivation based on profit. That doesn't mean that this entity or person can't be financially supported but it gets problematic when profit is the _main_ incentive.
For a good example of an interesting search engine built by a single guy, see Marginalia: https://search.marginalia.nu/

The Web Is Fantastic
There's a decent amount of people still keeping the fire burning for the "old web." It takes a little digging, but it's out there.
Some links for you:
* https://wiby.me/ — search engine that emphasizes simple/plain/hobbyist pages. Try the "surprise me" link a few times.
* https://neustadt.fr/essays/the-small-web/ — article, "Rediscovering the Small Web"
* https://search.marginalia.nu/ — author (hangs out on HN sometimes, too (marginalia_nu)
Actually, here's a link to a similar discussion on an old HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30783391

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
I built a recipe detector. You can, you know, train some sort of AI model to do this like with fasttext, or maybe do naive bayesian inference, but as it turns out, you can also:

It works annoyingly well.
- Marginalia is a great search engine that returns results from lesser-known blogs and websites

A new approach to domain ranking
Result ranking takes a lot of variables, and factors like excessive tracking and affiliate links is one of them in my search engine.
You can poke around in the result valuation code here: https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch/blob/ma...

"We pulled off an SEO heist with AI and stole 3.6M impressions."
#1 cause in the decline of Google maybe. https://search.marginalia.nu/ seems to manage though, so maybe Google just doesn't care.

Show HN: I am curating the best websites on the internet
Congratulations on shipping.
I see a lot of focus on startups, AI tools, productivity hacks, tech stacks, etc. What audience do you have in mind? I personally find that the most interesting sites on HN are outside of your scope here (examples: https://ciechanow.ski/, https://neal.fun/, https://search.marginalia.nu/).

New 60% of OpenAI model's responses contain plagiarism
It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines.
In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to reach a desired narrative. Google Gemini is the latest example [2] of where this leads.
Given that it is plausible that models like these will soon be used in educational settings this is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for the trend to replace search engine results with 'interpreted' results in which LLMs take up the same role as Winston in 1984: Winston works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party.
It is time for a decentralised distributed search engine which limits itself to pure search, something like YaCy [3]. Something to replace Winstonian search engines like Google and Bing (et al.).
