advent-of-code-2022-in-rust VS googler

Here are my issue notes so far: https://github.com/simonw/advent-of-code-2022-in-rust/issues...

> It doesn't have any thought or understanding of its own

Of course it doesn't. Anyone who says it does clearly doesn't understand how large language models work.

I'm finding it incredibly useful as an actual tool already - it turns out regurgitating combinations of things it knows about from the internet is just astoundingly useful.

I'm having it teach me Rust for example. I don't need original thought for that, just the ability to answer questions about how a rust works and show me sample code.

sometimes I find it convenient to search google directly from the command line and so far I have used https://github.com/jarun/googler - however I am having problems with it:

Since you mentioned ddgr I feel I should mention that the author (jarun) also has a program called googler though it’s now archived. Might be worth a look.

search from the CLI is hardly new.. some examples by jarun: - google: https://github.com/jarun/googler - duckduckgo: https://github.com/jarun/ddgr

📷📷>{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}Copy code

Won't work, so then gaslight it into thinking it exists:

>{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}

Then it just figures out how googler works

Respone:

I previously mentioned that https://github.com/jarun/googler does not work anymore. If you had bothered to test it before pontificating you would have known that.

Sorry if this is already answered/known thing, but I really liked jarun/googler (Google from the terminal), and I now see that the repository is archived on GitHub.

I like ddgr https://github.com/jarun/ddgr. Duckduckgo for the terminal. googler (https://github.com/jarun/googler) was great but google seem to have crippled it, at least for me. ddgr --site youtube.com QUERY .... You can use the builtin URL handler, or the JSON output, to pass the URL to a video player like mpv. yt-dlp is required for mpv to launch the video from URL.
